The *Secret* That Everyone Knows
First day in class 10th A
Location -- Apex scholars school
The first day of the new academic year arrived with bright sunshine and a gentle spring breeze.
After weeks of vacation, the school grounds, once quiet and empty, had come alive again.
Students poured through the front gates in endless streams, their voices blending into a cheerful symphony of laughter, greetings, and excited chatter.
Inside the classroom of 10th A
The moment Seo Minji and Yuna stepped into Class 10-A, they stopped so abruptly that the boy behind them nearly walked into a wall.
Seo Minji (class 10th A)
(gasped when she saw the scary lone figure in the classroom)
Oh my God... Jeo.
You freaked me to death.
(said while taking a huge breath)
Yuna (class 10th A)
(holding her hand in the same condition as Seo-Minji)
(looking at Jeo)
The boy behind them was also shocked when he saw Jeo....
At the front of the classroom, sitting lazily on the teacher’s table like he owned the school, was Jeo.
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
Jimin (class 10th A)
Jeo....(walked past the girls and approached him)
What happened to you??
This is the first day of the school and you look like a gangster who's about to go crazy......(stopped instantly and went straight to his desk when)
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(gave Jimin a death glare and started taping on the table with his fingers)
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
The sound alone carried murderous intent.
Seo Minji (class 10th A)
(hurriedly chose a seat to sit far away in the corner)
Yuna (class 10th A)
(followed her)
After both of them sat down on their seats side by side and placed their bags on the desk.
They sneaked a few glances at Jeo and then turned to look at each other.
Seo Minji (class 10th A)
(raised an eyebrow and said to Yuna)
He's definitely angry at Teo.
Yuna (class 10th A)
(nodded and chuckled)
The first day of the school and the married couple is already fighting.
Jimin (class 10th A)
(interrupted them)
I think this time the matter is serious.
Do you think they will finally divorce this time??
Yuna (class 10th A)
Nahh...
Seo Minji (class 10th A)
Nahhh.
Both said at the same time and laughed.
Jimin (class 10th A)
(chuckled)
I agree.
But I am sure today's drama is worth watching.
Seo Minji (class 10th A)
exactly.
I am looking forward to it.
Yuna (class 10th A)
(nodded)
Yeah.... it's a good start for our first day in class 10th A..... Hehe
One after another, everyone arrived and as the minutes went by... They noticed two things :-
First :- Teo is missing.
Second :- The temperature of the classroom is falling into minus degrees because of Jeo's cold attitude.
No one dared speak too loudly but the whole class had a tacit understanding....
Class 10th A
(looking at each other and whispering)
Do any of you know what happened??
Class 10th A
(everyone shook their heads in no)
Jimin (class 10th A)
(trying to call Teo but no-one's answering his call)
💭 Where is this boy???
He is dead meat today.... His husband is going to rip him apart💭
(slightly worried)
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(Staring at the classroom door)
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(his smile disappeared completely)
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(got up from the table and adjusted his uniform in annoyance)
(leaned against the table)
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
Class 10th A
💭 this is getting interesting.
We are dying to see how Teo will coax his husband this time.💭
(Everyone silently prayed for Teo’s survival.)
Another 10 minutes later.
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(started pacing back and forth)
Rapid footsteps echoed through the hallway.
The entire class turned toward the classroom door.
Class 10th A
💭 finally, our Female lead arrived.💭
A boy appeared there, panting heavily.
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
(His soft black hair fell messily over his bright eyes as he leaned against the doorframe trying to breathe.)
(His uniform was slightly crooked, tie hanging loose, sweat beads forming on his delicate exquisite face)
Teo looked inside the classroom wildly.
Then his eyes locked with Jeo's.
the whole classroom froze
Class 10th A
(looking between Jeo and Teo with anticipation)
💭 finally, the drama is going to start.💭
Class 10th A
(everyone instantly opened their snacks which they have prepared long ago to eat)
💭 continue already....
The audience is ready with popcorn and fries.💭
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
(noticed the murderous intent in Jeo's eyes and panicked)
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
Jeoooooo....
Before anyone could react..
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
(ran straight into the classroom and launched himself at Jeo like a missile.)
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(barely had time to open his arms before Teo crashed into him and wrapped himself around his neck dramatically.)
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
I’M SORRY......
(his arms around Jeo's neck while his legs clutching tightly around Jeo's waist)
Grandpa, please forgive me! I’m a dog! A terrible dog! The worst dog in existence......
woof woof
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(barely had time to open his arms before Teo crashed into him and wrapped himself around his neck dramatically.)
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
I’M SORRY......
(his arms around Jeo's neck while his legs clutching tightly around Jeo's waist)
Grandpa, please forgive me! I’m a dog! A terrible dog! The worst dog in existence......
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(his anger vanished instantly and a small smile graced his lips)
(smelled the unique but familiar scent of Teo with delight)
💭 I missed you so much 💭
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(held him carefully)
But before Jeo could say anything, Teo continued saying --
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
I slept late and missed my flight, Please don’t be angry.
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(snorted coldly)
💭 you are late.
Do you even know how I survived these two weeks without hearing anything from you...💭
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
I came running all the way from the school gates after an exhausting 8 hours flight.....
Please.... don't be mad.
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
Please.... Please.. my sweet Jeo.. My beautiful Jeo.... My kind and generous Jeo.
Jimin (class 10th A)
You forgot to say handsome...
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
Oh... Yes ..
My handsome Jeoooooo....
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
get off.
(said coldly)
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
No.
Say that you won't be angry otherwise I will stay like this.
clutching to you like a ghost.
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
Didn't you say you are dog just now.
come on.
Bark for your grandpa and i will not be mad anymore.
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
You....(looked at him angrily)
Don't go too far.
trying to take a mile when I offered an inch...
(said angrily)
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(looking in his eyes as if he didn't care)
Forget it.
I won't talk to you.
Get off.
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
You....
Fine then... you asked for it...
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
Woof.. Woof ..
(shouted in his ear loudly)
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(his ear started ringing)
Alright. Alright.
Stop it... Stop it...
Don't shout in my ear and get off me first.
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
No .. I won't ...
Didn't you want to hear me bark.
woof... Woof....
(shouting loudly in his ear)
The whole class who were eating snacks nearly choked...
Seo Minji (class 10th A)
Teo really barked....
I can't believe it.
Yuna (class 10th A)
I guess I underestimated him.
Meanwhile, Teo and jeo in their own two-person world.
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(trying to push Teo away)
💭 are you going to make me deaf by shouting that loudly 💭
You are sweaty all over.... Don't spoil my uniform.
(changed the topic because he knows how clean freak Teo is)
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
(stopped barking)
💭 sweaty.... I...no way..💭
.(clutching Jeo's neck tightly and wiped the sweat from his face to Jeo's uniform jacket shamelessly)
Meanwhile, the onlookers..
Class 10th A
(watching the performance while eating snacks)
I can't believe it.
They really are crazy.
Seo Minji (class 10th A)
yeah... Crazy in love but at the same time, they are super cute.
Yuna (class 10th A)
(hugged her arm)
Aaiiiii... My heart is melting.....
Jimin (class 10th A)
At least they finally hugged this time....
I guess we will be seeing them getting lovey dovey.
Someone said in a disappointed tone...
？？？
Ahh... Too bad
They didn't kiss..
Yuna (class 10th A)
(smacked his head)
Shhhh... speak slowly, don't let them hear.
Yuna (class 10th A)
But I am sure we will see them kissing soon...😜😜
(winked at him)
Jimin (class 10th A)
wouldn't that be great.
We will save a lot of money on movies cause we can see a live performance of Jeo and Teo.
the whole class nodded in agreement.
Class 10th A
That's great.
Then... Suddenly... A light coughing sound came from the classroom door.
Everyone turned to look at the door.
Class 10th A
(Everyone sighed in disappointment)
Who came to disturb us....
Mrs. Han So-Yeon (homeroom teacher)
Cough... Cough...
(entered inside the classroom and looked at Jeo and Teo)
Would you two mind going back to your seats or should I come back later after you two finish... Huh...
(her tone was teasing)
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
(felt embarrassed and hurriedly got off Jeo's body)
Mrs. Han we .....(got interrupted)
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(held the back of Teo neck and dragged him towards their seats after saying)
I am sorry Mrs Han.
My pet was upset just now so I was just cradling him.
I hope you won't mind.
(winked at her)
Mrs. Han So-Yeon (homeroom teacher)
(smiled and waved her hand)
it's ok.
💭 aaiiiii these two....
Why don't they just get marry but they are too young to marry..... forget it.💭
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
(pouted angrily at his best friend and pinched the side of Jeo's stomach)
Who's your pet???
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(raised an eyebrow in provocation)
Isn't it obvious??
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
You ....
see how I will deal with you.
Humph ....
(walked past him and sat next to someone else, ignoring Jeo)
💭 I am angry.
If you want to talk to me then I will make you bark.... 💭
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(stood there stupidily)
Teo....(got interrupted)
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
Mrs. Han, can you make this tall guy sit somewhere,
He is blocking my sight and I can't see the blackboard.
The whole class and Mrs. Han thought...
Class 10th A
Teo is having mood swings.
Truly reasonable.
Jimin (class 10th A)
(looked at Jeo and patted the seat beside himself)
Come and sit here.
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(took one last look at Teo)
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
uuuu...
(showed him his tongue)
Mrs. Han So-Yeon (homeroom teacher)
Attention Everyone
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(went to sit beside Jimin)
Mrs. Han So-Yeon (homeroom teacher)
First of all.
I would love to welcome you all.
I hope you all study well and get good grades and as always..
Our class 10th A would be the best.
Everyone shouted in excitement.
Class 10th A
Our class 10th A would be the best.
after shouting they clapped their hands and their first day in class 10 started officially.
And as soon as the classes started, everyone in classroom became serious and attended the lessons attentively....
All 20 students who are promoted from class 9th A to class 10th A were Elite students with excellent grades.. .. they all are very serious about their studies and apart from studies they like to support their imaginary CP (Teo and Jeo)
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(standing and waiting for Teo's driver)
Are you sure you don't want to come over to my place???
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
💭My parents invited you to dinner tonight.
they will be sad.💭
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
(on Jeo's back)
(laying tiredly on his back)
I won't go.
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
But you will be all alone again.
Didn't I say you can come and stay in my house??
My parents also agreed.
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
I need to go to my place.
My parents have bought me that bungalow to live comfortably and if I don't live there and went to stay anywhere else, they will be sad.
Moreover, my parents don't want me to be a burden to others.
I have to learn to live on my own.
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
And who said i will be alone,
there's Auntie liu and Uncle George in the house to take care of me and more than 20 servants to serve me at my beck and call.
Auntie liu is Teo's nanny from birth and lives with Teo and uncle George is the butler.
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
flaunting your wealth again??
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
so what if I am flaunting???
I have money, can't I show off.
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
You....(got interrupted)
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
put me down, my car is here.
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(did as told)
A black mercedes benz stopped a little farther away from them.
A man dressed in black suit of typical butler style got off the car and walked towards them.
Mr. George (butler)
(walked towards Teo and held out his hand to get his school bag)
Young master Kim.
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
(smiled and hugged him)
Uncle George, i missed you.
Let's go to that five star restaurant.
I want to eat....
(walked away with the butler talking happily)
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(standing there with a cold face and clenched fists)
(feeling uncomfortable when he saw Teo walk away talking sweetly to his butler)
💭 You are so close but why do I always feel you are unreachable.💭
parents
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(standing there with a cold face and clenched fists)
(feeling uncomfortable when he saw Teo walk away talking sweetly to his butler)

Mr. Jeon (Jeo's Dad)

📲 Dad.....(got interrupted)
Mr. Jeon (Jeo's Dad)
📲 I bet you didn't even tell Teo that we have invited him to dinner.

Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
📲 dad, i just didn't have time to explain, I just told him to come over and he refused instantly.

Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)

Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(looked at the phone, his dad has already hung up the call)
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(called his dad again)
Mr. Jeon (Jeo's Dad)
📲 what do you want????
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
📲 dad, come to pick me up.

Seo Minji (class 10th A)
(came holding Yuna's hand)
Yuna (class 10th A)
Yeah..
(looked around confusedly)
We thought you two will go hang out together after school.
But....
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
He went home and I am also going back to my house.
Seo Minji (class 10th A)
Oh...
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
Come, we are going in the same direction, i will walk you two to your homes.
Seo Minji (class 10th A)
That's wonderful.
Yuna (class 10th A)
Oh... jeo. You are such a gentleman.
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(smiled and started walking ahead)
Yuna (class 10th A)
(winked at Minji)
Seo Minji (class 10th A)
(nodded)
Jeo
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
Hmm
Seo Minji (class 10th A)
So... Did you test it properly???
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(stopped)
No need.
Yuna (class 10th A)
but you said you will...(got interrupted)
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
Our worlds are far apart.
I just want to cherish whatever we have right now whether it's just a friendship or something more.
Seo Minji (class 10th A)
Don't worry.
As always, our whole class will be cheering for you.
We want to see you two together for a lifetime.
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
(smiled)
💭 I want that too but Teo...
I can't tell what he thinks about me.💭
Yuna (class 10th A)
But Teo is too dull to realise that.
Seo Minji (class 10th A)
(smacked her head and pointed at Jeo)
Yuna (class 10th A)
Oh... Sorry.
I didn't mean to insult him.
(hurriedly apologised to Jeo)
Jeo (Jeon Jungkook) (class 10th A)
It's alright.
Afterall, what you said is true.
He is too stupid.
Seo Minji (class 10th A)
Hahahaha
Meanwhile, in Kim mansion
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
(got out of the car and stretched his body)
Uncle, do you think he is jealous of you??
Mr. George (butler)
(smiled)
He clearly is. Young master.
Teo (Kim Taehyung) (class 10th A)
(smiled)
I want to swim for a while, I will be at the pool on the terrace.
