Back 2 College [Taekook]
Chapter 1: Arrival
A day begins with a sunny weather... Students roaming around the college area before the bell rings...
A top college where it is difficult for students to get the acceptance
Jungkook
This place sure is huge...
This is Jungkook... He is 19 years old. This is his first day at college.
Jungkook
Ok... now where is the architecture building...?
He is an architecture major student
He roams around the campus looking at the map from his phone
Suddenly... He bumped into someone
Jungkook
Ouch... Sorry I wasn't looking at where I was going... It was my bad...
Taehyung
It's ok... I wasn't looking either...
This is Kim Taehyung. He is a second year student in Architecture major.
Taehyung
Wait are you looking for architecture building?
He says as he saw the pinned building on Jungkook's phone's
Jungkook
Well ummm yeah... I am
Taehyung
Oh, you're lucky you bumped into me... I took architecture major too! Follow me I'll show you!
Taehyung leads the way as Jungkook follows him.
Taehyung
I'm guessing that you're first year... Correct?
Jungkook
Yeah... What about you?
Taehyung
Oh, I'm in second year now... If you need anything or didn't understand anything, feel free to ask me. I'm always happy to help!
Taehyung says in such jolly expression. He is so cheerful and joyful.
As for Jungkook, he's a quiet type. An introvert. He only speaks when it's necessary.
Jungkook
Oh then you're my senior...
Taehyung
Oh I just remembered I haven't introduced myself... I'm Kim Taehyung. You can call me Taehyung or Tae Tae.
Taehyung
Yeah that's what my friends call me!
Jungkook
Hmmm I think I'll just call you Tae
Taehyung
Yeah that's fine as well!
Taehyung
What's your name?
Jungkook
I'm Joan Jungkook. You can call me Jungkook.
Taehyung
I'll call you Kookie!
Taehyung
Cuz it's sounds like Cookie
Taehyung giggles at his own words.
Seeing Taehyung like this makes Jungkook's mood lighten.
Jungkook
Haha... I guess you're right... You're quite creative I'll give you that...
Taehyung
Oh, and since you're new here... I'll show you around the campus! If we met with my friends on the way, I'll introduce them with you!
Jungkook
Yeah sure. Sounds great.
Taehyung
Alright! Let's goo!
They walk side by side to eachother.
They went around different majors' buildings.
They arrived at Art building.
Someone runs and hugs then from behind.
Jimin
Tae Tae! Seokjin! Came visit us?
This is Park Jimin. He is a second year student of Art major.
He is very clumsy and a silly person.
Taehyung
Hey! Look closely! This is not Jin Hyung
He quickly removed his hand on Jungkook's
Jimin
I am so sorryyy I thought you were a friend of mine!
He put his palms together and apologised to Jungkook
Jungkook
It's fine... You didn't know...
Jimin
I am deeply sorry... Really....
Taehyung
You're so clumsy as always Jimin... You need to check your eyesight too.
Jimin
Yeah yeah I know....
Taehyung
Oh! I gotta introduce you to this guy right here... This is Joan Jungkook... He's new here and he's the same major as me.
Jimin
I am Park Jimin! I took Art major same as Yoongi Hyung and Jin Hyung.
Jimin
Have you met them yet...?
Taehyung
No he hasn't... You're the first...
This is Kim Seokjin. As Jimin mentioned, he is a third year student of Art major.
Seokjin
Guess what guys! I found a 20% off coupon of canteen at the library!
When it comes to money saving, Jin is at the first place.
Taehyung
Wow that's great! How did you even find it?
Seokjin
Actually it was someone else's... But the coupon fell right off his bag and it fell on the ground so I took it!
Seokjin
No! I didn't steal! It fell on its own! I just took it before it was thrown in the trash...
Jimin
Yeah... Very convenient... Won't it be more accurate that somehow you make that happen on purpose..?
Seokjin
Well... I had to think of something before it gets away...
Jungkook was just standing there. Listening to their conversation. It was quite entertaining for him.
Seokjin
Oh and... Who's this? New student?
Taehyung
Oh right! This is Joan Jungkook. He's new here and he's same major as I am!
Seokjin
Woahh finally Tae Tae got a fellowship for his major huh?
Taehyung
Hahaha yeah! I have to erase it on my bucket list now!
Seokjin
Good for you Tae Tae! I'm happy for you!
Taehyung
Thanks Jin Hyung... Oh and this is Kim Seokjin... But we call him either Jin or Seokjin. He's the oldest in our group...
Jungkook
Ah... nice to meet you Seokjin...
Jungkook lower his head slightly to show respect to the elder.
Seokjin
Ah it's ok it's ok no need to bow... We're friends now.
Jungkook heads back up and nods at Jin.
At that time, Hoseok, Namjoon and Yoongi ran towards them.
This is Jung Hoseok. He is a second year student of med major.
Namjoon
Guys they're announcing the new rooms!
This is Kim Namjoon. He is a third year student of med major.
Yoongi
Yeah they're gonna switch the rooms cuz the building we were living was doing some maintenance.
Yoongi
So we gotta move to Building B.
This is Min Yoongi. He is a second year student of Art major.
Jimin
Oh... Which floor are we at?
Hoseok
That, we were about to check out that's why we came to call you guys.
Taehyung
Alright! But first I gotta introduce you to our new friend!
Jungkook nods at them and says hello.
Taehyung
This is Joan Jungkook... He's new and same major as me.
Taehyung
Kookie, this is Kim Namjoon, Jung Hoseok and Min Yoongi
Namjoon
Nice to meet you! If you need anything just let me know. I'm one of the students councils so I have a lot of connections.
Namjoon is a student council member. He is also the leader in the group. He is determined and the most mature person.
Hoseok
Woah you're pretty buffed as a new freshman.
Hoseok says as he pats at Jungkook's arm.
Hoseok is a cheerful person. He likes fun stuffs like parties. He is always positive minded.
Jungkook
Yeah that's because I work out a lot.
Hoseok
Yeah I can see that... And it's good to have a new income.
Jungkook
Yeah... I'm glad that I bumped into Tae on the way...
Jungkook glances at Yoongi as he hasn't said anything about him yet.
Yoongi
Oh umm yeah nice to meet you bro.
Yoongi is also an introvert. He always have a serious expression on his face. He rarely smiles.
Jungkook nods his head at Yoongi. He felt shivers when they made an eye contact.
Seokjin
I think we should check which rooms we got... Come on let's go!
Taehyung
Right! Oh umm Kookie you coming with us?
Everyone looks at Jungkook, waiting for his answer.
Jungkook
Yeah I got nothing to do so... Sure I'm coming.

Thanks for reading! 🤍
Chapter 2: Dorm Room
They went to the hallway where there is a board shown about the new dorm rooms.
Jungkook was a bit shocked to see what it looks on the inside.
Hoseok
I know right? The campus may look old on the outside but on the inside it's way better.
He says as he elbows at Jungkook's arm.
Jungkook
Yeah... Way better than my expectation.
Jimin
Oh look! There's the board!
They ran towards the board.
Seokjin
Oh they didn't change the roommates, only the floor and room number.
Namjoon
Oh is that so? Which room did we get?
Seokjin
303 on the 3th floor
Namjoon
Oh! Jungkook are you staying in dorm room?
Jungkook
Yeah I am... Which room did I get..?
Namjoon
Ah, 107! On the 1st floor
Hoseok
You took a single room Jungkook?
Jungkook
Yeah... How did you know..?
Jimin
Well, you see... 1st floor is all single rooms. 2nd floor is all double rooms and 3rd floor is all triple rooms.
Jungkook
Oh, it makes a lot easier to memorize.
Namjoon
Yeah, that's the point... Me, Jin and Hobi share same room. Jimin shares with Yoongi and Taehyung... Oh,, right I forgot to check his room!
Jungkook
202? Who does he share his room with?
They glance at each other while Jungkook is waiting for the answer.
Yoongi
Just know that an incident happened...
Seokjin
Yeah, we don't really talk about it anymore...
Jin signals at Jungkook, slightly shaking his head.
Jungkook glances at Taehyung as he notices how Tae getting uncomfortable towards the topic.
He quickly understood and decided to change the subject.
Jungkook
So umm do you guys have any plans tonight?
Jungkook
The semester won't start till next 3 days right?
Jimin
Yeah... I'm free for the whole day till the semester starts.
Jungkook
Well then maybe we should go out and grab some food. What do you say?
Hoseok
Food? That sounds great!
Seokjin
If you're the one who's paying then count me in!
Jungkook
Yeah, of course... Since it's my first day and meeting you guys, it's my treat.
Seokjin
Oh, goodie! Now I like you more!
Jin gave Jungkook a shoulder hug.
Taehyung
Umm, what are we having?
Jungkook
I'm fine with any so are there anything you guys would like to have?
Jimin
Oh! I'd have some Kimchi rice with chicken.
Namjoon
I'll have the same as Jimin.
Seokjin
Since it's your treat JK, I'll eat everything you order!
Hoseok
I agree with Jin Hyung.
Yoongi
I'm fine with anything as long as there's soju.
Jungkook
Great! I'll order the food... Oh, Tae... Any specific food you'd want to eat?
Taehyung
Umm, I'll just have fries and strawberry milkshake.
Jungkook takes out his phone and orders the food.
He set the delivery time to 7:30pm.
Jungkook
Alright! It is done...
Hoseok
Great! Let's head to our dorm room!
They all went to Building B.
On the way, Jungkook saw Building A being under maintenance.
Jungkook
So this was the old building?
Namjoon
Yeah, but the building was pretty cheap and old. It was great that they finally decided to take some action.
Seokjin
Yeah, living there was not a good experience...
Jungkook nods as he glances back at the building.
They entered the Building B and went up by the elevator.
Namjoon
We have to get our stuff at the main lobby. Did you bring your token?
Jungkook
Yeah, this one right?
Jungkook takes out from his pocket and shows the luggage token at Namjoon.
Namjoon
Yep, that's the one.
They all went to the lobby. There are many other students picking up their own luggage and stuff.
Jungkook and others take what's theirs and went back to the elevator.
While they were waiting for the elevator, a girl ran towards them.
They all faced towards the voice.
Jimin
Hey, did you need something?
Sooyun
No, it's just... mom told me to give this for you.
She hands over an envelope.
Sooyun
I don't know... Mom told me not to look inside.
Jimin opens the envelope as his hands are a bit shaking.
Jimin
Oh, it's my tuition fees... You scared me...
The rest of the members were relieved too.
Sooyun
Yeah... I'm off then... See you later!
She left after waving at all of them.
Hoseok
You have one clever cousin Jimin... My cousin and I would be killing each other all the time...
Jimin
Yeah, she's a nice kid... Ever since my mom passed away, her family took me in, and they're like my real family...
Jungkook
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that Jimin...
Jimin
It's ok... Things got better now...
Jimin
Hey, the elevator is here! Let's get in.
They all got in the elevator.
Jungkook got off at the 1st floor as the rest went to their floor.
Jungkook went to his room 107.
He unpacks his luggage and put his stuff at the places he prefers.
After he finished putting his stuff, he heard a knock on the door.
He opens and sees his friends.
Hoseok
Heyyy we're heading to the cafeteria for lunch. You coming?
Jungkook
Yeah sure I'm coming!
Jungkook grabbed his phone and put it in his pocket before stepping out of his room and locking the door.
They all went down by the elevator and went to the cafeteria.
At that time, Jungkook felt someone was watching them from a far.
But when he looked around he couldn't see anyone.
He knows his instincts are never wrong so, he starts to be more aware.
Author
Oooh things are getting interesting...
Author
Next chapter might up to something so stay tune!
Chapter 3: Toxicity from the Past
Chapter 3: Toxicity from the Past
Now they are at the Cafeteria.
They pick their own trays and grab some food for their own.
Jungkook was picking up some fruits but he senses that something is about to happen.
Namjoon is nearby so he quickly moves beside him and whispers at him.
Jungkook
Namjoon, did you sense something?
Jungkook
I'm having a bad feeling... Look around but not too obvious.
Namjoon glances at his left and right.
He also noticed something's off.
Namjoon
Now that you mentioned, I felt it too...
Jungkook
Yeah... Do you guys have beef with anyone?
Namjoon
Not really... But could it be...
Before Namjoon could finish his sentence, someone approached towards them.
That person walked right passed them and went straight towards Taehyung.
All of them froze including Jungkook.
Seokjin
What is she doing here?!
Yunna
I missed you!! I hope we're in same class for this semester too!
This is Yunna. Her info will be told by the members so keep reading.
Taehyung
Y-Yunna..? W-What...?
Yunna
I know I know... You must be so lonely without me... Hey! We should have lunch together don't you think?
Taehyung is trembling, his shakes his head simultaneously and glances at his friends, asking for help.
Hoseok
Hey that's not cool... He's having lunch with us!
Yunna
Don't get in between us! You guys are nothing but a disturb... Come Taehyungie... Let's get out of here.
Yunna was about to grab Taehyung's hand but Jungkook grabbed it first.
She looks up at Jungkook in an annoyed expression.
Jungkook
Non of your business... He doesn't want to go with you so he's staying with us...
Yunna
That's not true... Taehyungie wants to go with me... Right Taehyungie?
Yunna looks at Taehyung with a demanding look.
Jungkook slowly turns at Taehyung and looks him in the eyes.
Jungkook
Do you want to go with her?
Taehyung looks at Jungkook and at Yunna.
He swallows as he's having a hard time making a decision.
He then takes a deep breath before answering.
Taehyung
I want to stay...
Jungkook
See... He wants to stay.
Yunna scoffed and clenched her jaw.
Yunna
So that's how it's gonna be...
Yunna
I'll let it slide this time...
She left stomping her feet.
All of them got relieved as Jungkook is still left confused.
Jimin
That was Taehyung's ex... She's a crazy one...
Hoseok
Yeah... She caused a lot of trouble...
Hoseok
We might need to sit down before we talk about her because it's gonna be a long story...
They all sat down at a table.
They continued to talk about Yunna while eating their lunch.
Jungkook
Tell me about it...
Jimin
Her name is Yunna... She's from Shin family... The city Mayor's daughter...
Seokjin
Basically a rich kid...
Jimin
And she's a number one is everything... she's good at studies, physical activities, beauty...
Hoseok
But terrible when it comes to behavior.
Jimin
She was a beauty queen of last semester...
Jungkook
And Taehyung is the king?
Jimin
Umm, no... It was another guy...
Jimin
But anyway! When she got here, we all thought she was the best... You know a perfect girlfriend material... But no we were so wrong...
Yoongi
She was the worst girlfriend material...
Yoongi
I used to like her too but after what she did to Tae... I don't even wanna look at her...
Jungkook
Dang... What did she do...?
Hoseok
Tae Tae... Is it ok if we tell him?
Taehyung
It's ok... He even defended me... He have to know...
Hoseok
Ok... So she was a new transfer student last year.
Hoseok
She was everyone's crush... All the guys were over her...
Yoongi
Including me and Taehyung.
Hoseok
Yeah, and among the guys she chose Taehyung and first Taehyung thought he was the lucky guy among them but no... he was the unlucky...
Seokjin
Guess what she did in 1 month of dating...
Seokjin
We saw her kissing another dude...
Namjoon
Yeah, we were just walking down the hall and saw her just making out with a random dude...
Seokjin
No... Me, Namjoon and Taehyung saw...
Seokjin
Taehyung's heart was broken when he saw that.
Jungkook
Then what happened?
Namjoon
Well she put an oscar level acting.
Jimin
Yeah she started crying in front of all of us...
Jimin
She was begging, apologising until Taehyung would get back with her.
Seokjin
Taehyung got pity of her and they got back together...
Yoongi
But that was the worst decision... Because things got even worse...
Jimin
We once caught her using drugs and being overdose with other guys.
Namjoon
She even tried to drug Taehyung not once, not twice...
Seokjin
And another thing is after we were getting between them all the time but what we were trying to do is protect Taehyung... She would stop letting Taehyung hangout with us...
Hoseok
She even manipulated Taehyung to kick me out as a roommate!
Jungkook
Oh! So you were the roommate...
Hoseok
Yeah... thanks to her, I had to pay extra to change room because we're not allowed to change rooms until the end of the month...
Jimin
She's so manipulative and always gaslighting at Taehyung... So toxic...
Namjoon
The good thing is... After that semester ended, she didn't show up anymore. She's doesn't live in a dorm room either so there was no reason for her to come here.
Hoseok
We had to encourage Taehyung to block her in every social media and all her numbers.
Hoseok
Which he did and ever since she would come to the campus almost everyday and we had to hide him.
Yoongi
I couldn't take it any longer so I told the principal to do something about it.
Yoongi
Fortunately, the principal phoned her parents and ever since she didn't know up until today...
Jungkook was frozen for a couple of seconds.
Jungkook
I... definitely wasn't expecting her to be like that...
Hoseok
Yeah... we were glad that we could rescue Taehyung from her hands.
Jimin
Or I couldn't imagine how our Tae Tae would became...
Taehyung
Yes... I'm so greatful you guys...
Seokjin
Yes yes our youngest Tae Tae...
Jungkook
Youngest...? How old is Tae?
Taehyung
I'm 20... Turning 21 soon.
Jungkook
Well you're not the youngest anymore because I'm 19...
Hoseok
Then the title 'the youngest' will go to JK!
Jungkook
Haha yeah... I guess so...
Taehyung
Wha... I like being youngest...
Jungkook
Don't worry Tae, you're still the second youngest...
Jungkook
Wait how about hyungs? I haven't know your ages yet.
Namjoon
Jin is the oldest, 24. Yoongi is 23. Then comes me, 22. Hobi is also 22 and Jimin is 21.
They chat for a while. After finishing lunch, they went back to their building and went back up to their rooms.
Time passed and it's almost 7:30pm. Jungkook is waiting outside for food to arrive at any time now.
