Jungkook was in cafeteria. He held a book, in his one arm, while, the other worked as a feeder. His eyes, never left the book.

He kept on reading, and eating, with the other one. He didn't look up, not even noticed someone's presence near him.

Until, his book was snatched away. Jungkook, immediately, didn't look up, he heard few chatting noises.

A group of boys, stood near him, "Jeon Jungkook...right?" The boy, a bully from different floor, disturbed Jungkook.

"Ah...a nerd...always studying like a women!" The leader commented and his chicks, whom were hyenas just for show, laughed loudly, like it was some kind of worthy joke.

Jungkook didn't react, "Give me my book." He simply asked, but, the other guy refused.

"Yo! Little buddy got anger issues. I'm scared to death."

"Bullshit!" The boy jerked his hand, on the table, and pushed the food tray, forward. The food spilled, onto Jungkook's uniform.

Jungkook, instantly, stood up and dusted off the food, "Ah...it's hot...you motherfucker!" The soup, which soaked in his shirt, was burning hot. It probably burnt his skin, also.

"I will see you later." Jungkook wanted to go to washroom and clean himself, but, the boy didn't let him. He grabbed Jungkook, by his arm and stopped him, from walking away.

By time going, Jungkook felt the burn severe. He groaned a little, "Let go of me fucker!" Jungkook warned, but, that boy Just laughed off.

"From now on, you're my slave. Get it? Now, get me some soup from the canteen." The boy, jerked Jungkook off. Jungkook lost his patience and picked up the soup bowl, from his tray.

He threw, the remaining soup, on his face. The hot liquid spilled, on the latters face, He screamed on his lungs.

"AH...HOT...HOT!" Jungkook stood there, watching him, panicking for help. The soup must have gotten into his eyes, but, Jungkook didn't care to help him.

"Oh...see that."

"Damn!"

"Woah! He got it."

Gossips erupted. But soon, everything went silent, when, someone entered in.

Taehyung.

He walked in, without any clue, and his eyes fell on Jungkook, who had stained cloths.

Taehyung walked to the scene and witnessed a boy, "Oh...what happened Jungkook?" Taehyung, straightly, went to Jungkook, without bothering to look at others.

Jungkook stared at Taehyung, who neared him and wiped his stained shirt, with his own handkerchief. Jungkook didn't protest, but, when, the cloth touched his exposed chest, he hissed, lowly.

Taehyung stopped, on his track, and narrowed his eyes, at Jungkook, "WHAT HAPPENED?" Taehyung pressed the words.

Jungkook didn't respond and walked away, with his bag, without sparing any glance, at anyone.

"You...fucking asshole...I will fucki-" before, the boy can finish his threat, Taehyung punched him, hard.

The latter's jaw broke and he fell on the floor. Taehyung hovered, over him, and gave few more fists, on his jaw.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

...

Sixteen.

Seventeen.

Eigh-

Yoongi and Namjoon, pulled Taehyung, away from the boy. The latter, on the floor, coughed blood and fell unconscious. His movements, stopped, and his jaw, broken.

Yet, Taehyung was furious. He wanted to punch him more, but, his friends held him tight, from doing that.

"You Soo-Young. Ungrateful bastard. Dare to even look at what's mine, that will be the end of you." Taehyung calmed down, a little bit, after threatening.

Yoongi and Namjoon left him and Taehyung stood straight, eyeing every human being present in the cafeteria.

"THIS FOLLOWS TO YOU ALL TOO." With that, He left cafeteria, in a hurry.

Yoongi and Namjoon looked at the mess, "Damn! Did he die?" Namjoon checked Soo-Young's pulse and breathings, "God's sake, he's still alive." Yoongi chuckled, at the, solemn, situation.

While, Namjoon, tensed up thinking, "What to do with this piece of shit now?"

Jungkook opened few of his buttons and wiped away the burning soup, with tissue. Even though, it burned alot, he hadn't had any spare clothes, in his locker, right now. So, he remained in his, stained, uniform.

He cleaned the burnt area and buttoned up his shirt, again. Ready to exit, he opened the washroom door.

There stood the devil, Taehyung walked in and closed the door, behind them.

"Let me take a look at the wound." He tried to touch Jungkook, but he jerked his arm, away, "Don't. I'm fine."

Taehyung was, already, infuriated and Jungkook's resistance added fuel into it, more. Taehyung sighed and gave a tight smile, which was absolutely fake, to Jungkook.

"Don't make me use rough ways, when, I'm trying to be gentle, Jungkook." Jungkook didn't understand the warning and tried to pass, by him.

Taehyung lost his every nerve, there.

He blocked Jungkook and grabbed his waist, roughly. He pushed him back, towards the sink counter and lifted him up, to make him seated on it.

The, reflex, moves startled Jungkook. Before, he processed, Taehyung parted his thighs and stood, between them, close to Jungkook.

Taehyung unbuttoned his shirt, fully, and threw it. Jungkook didn't protest, because, he knew, there's no way out of Taehyung's grip.

Taehyung looked, at the burnt mark, and his jaw tightened, "Did he pour hot soup on you?" Jungkook nodded, at the question, Taehyung found it adorable and innocent.

"And, you threw soup on his face in return?" Jungkook nodded, again, and Taehyung smiled, widely.

"Proud of you, darling!" Jungkook didn't react. He stared at Taehyung, who was busy blowing on the wound, with his mouth. He looked like a kid, in Jungkook's eyes.

"From now onwards, if anyone bothers you, take him to me. I will make him regret in the worst way." Taehyung said and started unbuttoning, his own shirt.

Jungkook panicked, at the sight, "H-hey...st-stop." But, he wasn't able to escape, from Taehyung's grip. Taehyung took off his shirt and stared at Jungkook.

"Silly!" Taehyung chuckled, before, wearing that, oversized shirt, to Jungkook. Jungkook relaxed and wore the shirt, silently.

Taehyung had another t-shirt, wearing beneath his uniform, so, he gave his shirt, to Jungkook.

"What did you think of earlier?" Taehyung teased, but, Jungkook remained silent and buttoned up, quickly.

"Thanks!"

Taehyung startled and froze. He didn't expect appreciation, in return, from Jungkook.

"Did you just thank me?" Jungkook, slightly, pushed Taehyung and got off, the counter, "Yes, I did, dumb!" With that, Jungkook walked out, with his backpack. Taehyung stood there, processing the words.

"Woah. He thanked me!" Taehyung smiled, like he won a prize. He didn't care about the 'Dumb', but he only listened the 'Thanks'.

"Damn! He drives me crazy."

School ended, Jungkook walked down the building and headed to the bus stop. Before, exiting the school campus, he heard few muffled noises.

Turning his head, he witnessed Taehyung and his friends, whom were beating someone relentlessly, rapidly and mercilessly. Their moves were brutal.

Taehyung looked scary, but, Jungkook wanted to see, the latter. He neared the scene, a little bit, and saw, it was the previous boy, who bullied him in the cafeteria.

Jungkook sighed, because, he knew there's no way Taehyung's going to leave him, after, whatever he did to Jungkook.

Jungkook accepted his fate and started walking away, when, his steps hault at the call. He saw Taehyung coming his way.

"Darling!" Jungkook didn't know, why he stopped, but he adapted that name, into his. He is adapted to be called by that, from Taehyung's mouth only. It was involuntary, but, conscious action.

"Were you waiting for me?" Jungkook didn't say anything, "Whatever, let's go. I will walk you home. Wait a minute."

Taehyung went back to his friends and talked to them, for a minute. He wiped his bloody knuckles and arms at Namjoon's shirt, before, running back to him.

He smiled at Jungkook, like nothing happened, a minute ago, "Shall we go?" He started walking beside Jungkook, with a good distance.

For the first time, Jungkook didn't feel uncomfortable around Taehyung. Infact, he felt safe and calm.
