The Rumour Started With One Kiss (Taekook)
“The Kiss That Broke the Internet”
Rain hit the windows of Hanseong University loudly.
Students rushed through the campus while thunder echoed across the dark sky.
Inside the old music building, Kim Taehyung sat near the piano room window with earphones in, quietly writing lyrics in his notebook.
The soft melody playing in his headphones almost drowned out the noise of the storm.
Almost.
His tired eyes moved to his phone screen.
Three missed calls from his café manager.
One unpaid hospital bill notification.
And another message from the university financial office.
Taehyung sighed deeply.
kim taehyung
“Seriously… can this week get any worse?”
“Grandma ❤️” appeared on the screen.
kim taehyung
“Grandma? You should be sleeping.”
taehyung 's Grandmother
“Did you eat dinner?”📲
Taehyung looked at the instant noodles beside him.
kim taehyung
“…Yes.” *lie*📲
His grandmother chuckled weakly.
taehyung 's Grandmother
“You always lie when you’re struggling.”
Taehyung smiled sadly but stayed silent.
After ending the call, he stared at the rain quietly.
He was tired.
Tired of pretending everything was okay.
Meanwhile…
Outside the business department building, luxury black cars stopped one after another
.
Students immediately whispered excitedly.
“Jeon Jungkook is here.”
“The Jeon Corporation heir?”
“He looks terrifying today…”
The car door opened.
Jeon Jungkook stepped out wearing a black coat, silver piercings shining under the rain.
Cold expression.
Sharp eyes.
Dangerous aura.
Everyone moved aside automatically.
Behind him walked Kim Namjoon and Soobin.
soobin
“You skipped class again yesterday.”
Jeon Jungkook
“I had work.”
namjoon
“Your grandfather threatened the dean again.”
Jeon Jungkook
“He threatens everyone.”
As they entered the hallway—
CRASH!
A student accidentally slammed into Taehyung near the staircase.
His notebook, papers, and coffee spilled everywhere.
kim taehyung
“Ah! My lyrics!”
Loose pages flew across the hallway from the strong wind.
One paper landed near Jungkook’s feet.
Jungkook picked it up silently.
His eyes scanned the messy handwriting.
“People only love sunshine, never the storm.”
Something about the words made him pause.
Taehyung hurried over nervously.
kim taehyung
“S-sorry! That’s mine.”
As Taehyung reached for the paper—
His foot slipped on the wet floor.
Everything happened too fast.
Jungkook grabbed Taehyung’s waist instinctively to stop him from falling—
—but Taehyung crashed directly
But Taehyung crashed directly into Jungkook’s chest.
And their lips touched.
Silence.
Complete silence filled the hallway.
Taehyung froze.
Jungkook froze.
Students nearby gasped loudly.
“Oh my god—”
“DID THEY JUST KISS?!”
“TAKE A PICTURE!”
FLASH!
FLASH!
FLASH!
Phones immediately pointed toward them.
Taehyung quickly pulled away, face completely red.
kim taehyung
“T-that was an accident!”
But nobody cared.
Whispers exploded instantly.
“The Jeon heir kissed him!”
“Are they secretly dating?”
“This is insane!”
On the second-floor balcony, Byeon Woo-seok lowered his expensive camera slowly.
A dangerous smirk appeared on his lips.
Click.
The perfect photo was captured forever.
Byeon woo-seok
“This will become headline news by tonight.”
Within seconds—
Notifications flooded students’ phones.
[Campus Forum HOT POST 🔥]
“Cold Prince Jeon Jungkook Caught Kissing Scholarship Student Kim Taehyung?!”
Taehyung’s hands trembled.
His breathing became uneven.
He looked at Jungkook desperately.
kim taehyung
“This is bad…”
Jungkook stared coldly at the growing crowd surrounding them.
Then suddenly—
He grabbed Taehyung’s wrist.
Everyone gasped again.
Jeon Jungkook
“Come with me.”
Ignoring everyone’s shocked expressions, Jungkook dragged Taehyung through the crowded hallway while cameras flashed endlessly behind them.
And somewhere nearby—
Han So-hee smiled slowly while staring at the viral campus post on her phone.
Han so-hee
“Oh… this is going to be fun.”
“Campus Explosion”
The moment Jeon Jungkook dragged Kim Taehyung away from the crowd, the entire hallway exploded into chaos.
Phones buzzed nonstop.
Students screamed excitedly.
The campus forum crashed twice within ten minutes.
Meanwhile—
Taehyung struggled to pull his wrist free as Jungkook dragged him through the empty west hallway.
kim taehyung
“Yah! Let go of me!”
Jungkook ignored him.
His jaw stayed tight with irritation.
Finally—
They reached an empty classroom.
They reached an empty classroom.
SLAM!
Jungkook closed the door behind them.
Taehyung immediately stepped back.
Both stared at each other awkwardly.
The silence felt suffocating.
kim taehyung
“…You could’ve just talked normally.”
Jungkook leaned against the desk, arms crossed.
Jeon Jungkook
“You panic too loudly.”
kim taehyung
“You kissed me!”
Jeon Jungkook
“It was an accident.”
Jungkook suddenly smirked slightly.
Jeon Jungkook
“Then why are you blushing?”
Taehyung’s face turned even redder.
kim taehyung
“I-I’m not blushing!”
Before Jungkook could answer—
The classroom door flew open dramatically.
Park Jimin stormed inside looking horrified.
Park Jimin stormed inside looking horrified.
Behind him were Jung Hoseok and Sana.
Jimin pointed at Taehyung dramatically.
park jimin
“YOU KISSED THE CAMPUS ICE PRINCE?!”
kim taehyung
“IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!”
sana
“Oh my god this is better than dramas.”
Hoseok looked between Taehyung and Jungkook suspiciously.
Jung hoseok
“…Why does this room feel weirdly romantic?”
Jungkook sighed in annoyance.
Jeon Jungkook
“Can you all leave?”
Jimin immediately stood protectively beside Taehyung.
park jimin
“No. Rich scary people can’t be trusted.”
Jungkook raised an eyebrow.
park jimin
“You literally look like you own three mafia companies.”
Taehyung almost laughed accidentally.
Jungkook noticed.
And for the first time—
He smiled very slightly.
Tiny.
But real.
Taehyung froze.
Why does he look dangerous even when smiling…?
Inside the luxury media building café—
Han So-hee calmly scrolled through the viral posts online.
Thousands of comments already flooded the forum.
Are they dating secretly?”
“Jungkook looked protective.”
“This feels like a K-drama.”
Han So-hee smirked.
Across from her, Krystal Jung crossed her legs elegantly.
Krystal
“So the rumors are real?”
Han so-hee
“But they will become real eventually.”
Her eyes darkened slightly.
Taehyung’s phone suddenly exploded with notifications.
Messages.
Tags.
Photos.
One post already had over fifty thousand views.
His breathing slowly became shaky.
Jimin noticed immediately.
Taehyung stared at the screen silently.
Some comments were funny.
But others were cruel.
“Scholarship students always chase rich people.”
“He planned this.”
“Attention seeker.”
Taehyung lowered his head quietly.
Jungkook noticed the change in his expression instantly.
His eyes darkened.
Without warning—
Jungkook took Taehyung’s phone from his hands.
Jungkook locked the screen calmly.
Jeon Jungkook
“Stop reading them.”
The room became quiet.
Even Jimin looked surprised.
Because Jungkook’s voice sounded…
Gentle.
Taehyung stared at him silently.
His heart suddenly beat strangely fast.
And neither of them noticed—
Outside the classroom door—
Cha Eun-woo watched everything quietly with unreadable eyes
cha eun woo
“So that’s the person who caught Jungkook’s attention…”
