For any normal guy, Mondays would be the worst days of the week, but not for Hoseok, he loved them. The reason? He could see his favorite couple inside Bighit.

Ah, TaeKook. His sacred OTP, his favorite pairing, he'd kill anyone who came between them.

So what was TaeKook? One of the most perfect couples within Bighit, made up of Kim Taehyung or V and Jeon Jungkook... ah, they were the perfect couple.

Hoseok grabbed his backpack and started walking to his favorite place. On the way, he would pick up Lisa so they could go to school together, since she lived a few blocks away from Hoseok.

Last year, Hoseok took the longer route to visit his best friend, but this year he had forbidden him from going near his house just because he had once screamed when he saw Taehyung going to pick up Jungkook to go to school together.

—God, how embarrassing, Hoseok! Now my neighbor is going to think I'm stalking him!—Yoongi had said, as he dragged him to the Institute.

Yoongi was so incredibly lucky! He lived right across the street from Jungkook! He was the main witness to what the two of them were doing, and he didn't want to tell his best friend.

Lisa was leaving her house and joined Hoseok on his walk.

"Did you hear?" the blonde asked, clinging to Hoseok's arm. "Namjoon-oppa threw a party (you know, for the popular kids) and neither Taehyung nor Jungkook went." Hoseok's eyes widened. "When we found out, Wendy and I started investigating... remember Jennie's older brother, Seokjin?" Of course she remembered him; she'd had a crush on him for a while. "Well, he's Namjoon's best friend, and we got him to tell us that Taekook turned down the invitation to the party because they were on vacation."

"Don't lie to me," Hoseok stopped.

—I swear to you on Taekook—Jennie put her hand on her chest.

After several seconds, they both started jumping and shouting with excitement.

"Come on, Momo. Don't even look at them. If you don't look at them, people won't realize they're your friends," a voice murmured behind her.

—But Nayeon, they're your friends too.

Both boys turned around to look at the two youngest members of Red Pink 9.

Jennie let out a little squeal and threw herself on top of both girls; they hadn't seen the younger ones because they had gone on a school trip for the entire vacation.

—Ah, shorties, I missed you—Hoseok joined them.

—Ah, group hug!—A shout was heard and Jennie also joined the hug.

After several seconds they separated, they were 5/9 Red Pink 9.

—I'm leaving, otherwise they'll think I'm hanging out with you guys—Seokjin, Jennie's older brother, disappeared down the short path that remained to reach Bighit.

"How was your trip, girls?" Jennie asked once they started walking.

"Which girls? We're only a year younger," Nayeon said, crossing her arms.

"It was great!" Momo replied, skipping as she walked. "We went to the beach! We went every day with Nayeon! I hope they take us again this year."

—No, that's their last year of "vacation," as the Biology teacher says—Hoseok muttered.—Then they'll have them working like donkeys, just like us.

All the older women nodded.

"Thanks for ruining my day, Hoseok," Nayeon muttered.

—Oh, Nayeon's bitter, what a surprise!—Wendy made her presence known.

—Don't be mean, Wendy—Jisoo, the group's mom, also made her presence known.

—So now it turns out that telling the truth is being bad!—Wendy defended herself.

Everyone laughed except Nayeon.

—There are two missing. Where do you think Mina and Irene are?—Hoseok asked.

—Maybe they're already looking at their courses—Jisoo replied.

Everyone headed to that place; it was surrounded by people trying to see their new courses. Great, they had to get past them all.

Two people emerged from the crowd: Jin and Namjoon. Jennie approached her brother.

—Oppa, didn't you see which course I was in?

"In the middle of all those people?" Seokjin watched as his best friend moved away and started walking away. "Don't even think about it, they could kill me." Without saying another word, Seokjin started running after Namjoon.

"You had more of an advantage! He's a damn popular guy!" Jennie started kicking her feet.

"Just stop it, he's going too far," Jisoo murmured.

"How are we going to get in through all those people?" Momo pouted.

"I'll go," Nayeon said as she walked toward the crowd of people.

"Shall we let her die alone?" Lisa asked.

—If you want to die, you can go with her—Wendy replied.

—Look! It's Mina and Irene.—Momo pointed towards the crowd of people.

Hoseok looked in that direction. Sure enough, Irene and Mina were leaving, taking Nayeon with them (she probably failed in her attempt to see her class). They both walked towards where most of the Red Pink 9 club was.

"Irene!" Hoseok exclaimed and hugged his best friend.

The other five girls did the same, in addition to greeting Mina.

—We have our schedules.—Irene showed eight sheets of paper... ONLY EIGHT?

—But there's only...—Momo was about to write down what she had seen, but Lisa let out a little squeal.

"Look! Look!" Lisa pointed to a secluded bench. Jungkook was sitting there.

—Do you think she's waiting for Taehyung-oppa?—Wendy asked.

—Of course!—Mina replied.

—Speaking of oppa!—Jennie pointed toward the crowd of people.

Taehyung was leaving with two sheets of paper in his hand, he walked towards where Jungkook was and handed him one, Jungkook smiled at him, stood up and they started walking away.

—They're so cute!—Irene squealed, jumping up and down.

How could anyone say TaeKook wasn't real? I mean, look, they were so beautiful!

Hoseok took out his cell phone to take a picture "discreetly"

"Hoseok, I've been looking for you for ages!" Hoseok looked behind him; Yoongi had two sheets of paper in his hand. "Here." He handed one to Hoseok. "We're in the same class (luckily not with those crazy girls), so let's go."

Unable to thank her or defend his friends, Hoseok was dragged along by his best friend.

"The oldest woman in your house is crazy, Min!" Nayeon shouted.

"Don't forget to go to the Red Pink 9 club, Hoseok," Irene shouted.
