The students were roaming around with bags slung over their shoulders, the assembly group vibrant with laughter, teasing, and smiles. Jungkook, Soobin and Taehyun stood near a tree looking around.
“Bhai maine toh Ganesh ji ko ladoo chadaye hai ki is baar hum teeno ek hi class mai ho.” Taehyun said dramatically, grinning.
"Bro I offered ladoo to goddess ganesh ji for making us three in the same section."
“Maine toh varth rakha tha shiv ji ka somwar ka iske liye!” Soobin said with a wide grin, his eyes twinkling with mischief. Jungkook chuckled and said, shaking his head, “Pagal ho dono.”
"I have kept fast on Monday of Shiv ji for this!"
"You both are stupid."
“Tune kya kiya?” Soobin and Taehyun asked curiously. Jungkook shrugged and said, “Kuch nahi.”
“Haye! This man is cheating on us bro!” Taehyun said, clutching his heart dramatically and Soobin nodded, pulling him in a hug, saying in an exaggerated dramatic tone, “Ab toh ye log bade hoge hai, busy hai. Hum jaise logo se inhe kya.”
"Now these people are superior, they are busy. They don't care about us."
Jungkook rolled his eyes and smacked their heads, muttered under his breath, “Idiots.”
“Students, make lines.” The principal’s voice came through the mic, everyone gathered, forming lines. Taehyun said, folding his hands and looking up at the sky, “Hey Bhagwan, make Beomgyu in my class!!!”
“Hey bhagwan, Please put Yeonjun in my class!!!” Soobin said with his hands folded and eyes shut tightly as if praying for his entire bloodline.
Jungkook chuckled, a soft one. A faint smirk playing on his lips. The teachers started taking names of the previous year class 8th, now promoting to 9th.
“Class 9th C.” The class teacher, Mrs.Trithiya Joshi said. She started with the girls’ names.
A few names, she said the next, “Choi Beomgyu.”
Beomgyu went to the line, the next name was, “Choi Yeonjun.”
“Bye babe, come soon.” Yeonjun said dramatically to Taheyung who chuckled and yet a trace of sadness of being separated from her best friend lingered in her gaze and heart.
A few names later, Taheyung felt her heart forming a dull ache, she will be separated from Yeonjun, yet again. Her gaze went to Yeonjun, already looking at her. She smiled but Yeonjun didn't, she knows Taehyung is sad. She mouthed, “Don't worry, we are together!”
Taheyung laughed softly at Yeonjun’s funny actions and expressions. The next name, “Kim Taehyung.”
Taehyung froze, Yeonjun nearly jumped, Taehyung stood up and walked towards the line and Yeonjun pulled her in front of herself hugging her tightly, “Mah bestieeee!!!”
“We are together in this class?” Taehyung asked, it's been three years since they were in a class together. Yeonjun nodded, hugging her tightly, looking more delighted than her.
The boys' names started, Trithiya said after a few names, “Kang Taehyun, Choi Soobin.”
The best friend looked at Jungkook and said, “Come fast!”
Jungkook nodded with a laugh, and the boys went to the line. Trithiya said, “Jeon Jungkook.”
“Wow. Same class again.” Jungkook muttered, a chuckle of suppressed delight leaving his lips. He stood up fixing his white shirt under his grey hand, his athletic body looking perfect as he walked to the line. The two boys grinned, pulling him in the line and said, “Yo!!! We got together!!!”
Jungkook nodded smiling and said, “Cherry on top, you guys got your crushes in the same class.”
They nodded, grinned, their eyes twinkling with mischief. A while later, all the students were taken to their respective classes. Jungkook and his friends walked to the last bench and sat down, the wooden benches luckily had three places to sit. Jungkook sat in between.
“Lagta hai, mera varth kaam kargaya.” Soobin said, Taehyun jumped in, “Mere ladoo ne kiya samjha!”
"Looks like my fast worked."
"My ladoo did this, ok?!"
“Chal chal.” Soobin said, flickering his hand nonchalantly at Taehyun with a smirk. Taehyun glared at him, and said, “Chal chal, mere ladoo ki jai!”
“Varth!” Soobin glared.
"Fast!"
“Ladoo!” Taehyun glared.
“Varth!”
"Fast!"
“Ladoo!”
“Varth!”
"Fast!"
“Ladoo!”
“Chup!” Jungkook shouted. The boys zipped their lips and looked at the fuming male in between them, a smile filled with nervousness curved on their lips. Jungkook glared at the two and said, “abhi dono ko pit ke mai nale mai phek aunga!”
"Shut up!"
"Now I'll beat you both and throw you in the gutter!"
“Sorry Sir!” The two said quickly, pressing their lips into a thin line.
Jungkook sighed, muttering something incoherent under his breath.
Taehyung and Yeonjun were looking for a seat when Yeonjun held her wrist and said, “Let's go there!”
She pointed at the second last bench, apparently, the only empty seats left in the class as for now. A girl sat near the window, looking outside. Yeonjun walked towards her and said with a smile, “Hey!”
The girl looked up and nodded, her voice soft and gentle, “Hello.”
“Can we both sit here?” Yeonjun asked gently. The girl nodded and moved a little side, Yeonjun said, “Ja andar!”
Taheyung moved in between and sat, Yeonjun sat beside her, unaware of two males turning red looking at their crushes behind them. Yeonjun said, “Beomgyu right?”
The girl—Beomgyu nodded. Yeonjun smiled widely and said, “Myself Choi Yeonjun!”
Beomgyu chuckled and shook hands, she said, “I have seen you a lot of times.”
“Really?!” Yeonjun asked curiously, Beomgyu nodded. Yeonjun said, “She's Kim Taehyung, my best friend. She's an introvert but trust me, she's an amazing person.”
“Hi Taheyung,” Beomgyu said with a soft smile. Taehyung smiled faintly, waving at her softly. Beomgyu chuckled and waved back, she said, “You're really cute.”
Taehyung blushed, lowering her head to the table at the sudden compliment. Yeonjun gasped dramatically and said, “Hey! She's my sweetheart! You can't flirt with her like that!”
Beomgyu laughed and nodded.
Meanwhile,
Soobin held his heart with eyes wide open, as he said in a dramatic hurt tone, like Devdas, “My crush is…. Lesbian?”
“Mine is… flirting with girls?” Taehyun cried dramatically on Jungkook's shoulder who stared at the black board with a done look, clearly annoyed by these two.
“Will you both shut up?” Jungkook whispered to the two who froze, looked at him, blinked, dusted their shirts and nodded seriously.
Too seriously, even the word serious disagreed with them, that these two can be serious.
Jungkook sighed and looked at his friend, the girl in front of him wasn't so tall, so it didn't cause him a problem to see the blackboard. The teacher, Mrs.Trithya Joshi entered, her lips forming a welcoming smile.
“Gooooood mooorninggggg mammmmm.” The students said in a sing-song tone, their eyes twinkling with mischief and lips curled into mischievous smiles. Trithiya sighed and said, “Good morning, singers. Sit down.”
The students sat down, hiding giggles. Trithiya placed her bag on the table and said, “Good morning class. Myself, Trithiya Joshi, some of you may know me as a subject teacher. I'll be teaching you Biology.”
The students listened to her attentively. Trithiya smiled and said, “There are a few rules that I want you all to follow. So we don't face a problem and waste our time with all these extra curricular activities that you will leave doing sooner or later.”
“I don't want these stylish hair cuts. Boys should have a proper hair cut, no spikes. Girls should have their hair done in a pony, if their hair is long, please put a braid on.” Trithiya said. She continued, “All should have proper uniforms.”
“I don't want to see dirty shoes, or clothes. Or the tie is missing and the buttons are broken.” She said further, “Whenever a teacher enters, you all will greet him or her. No mischief. You all will maintain proper decorum in the class. We need to keep our class clean. This is a responsibility for all of us.”
Jungkook pulled out his kit-kat from the bag and tore the packet, he popped one in his mouth and gave it to Soobin and Taehyun as well. The two hid their faces behind Beomgyu and Yeonjun.
“Jungkook, are you eating?” Trithiya asked, looking at him suddenly. Jungkook froze, he gulped down the chocolate and said, “N-No mam.”
“I just saw you chewing.” Trithiya said with squinted eyes. Jungkook looked at Taheyung in front of him, thinking in his mind, “Why is she so short and couldn't cover me?!”
“Mam, I think… you're hallucinating.” Jungkook said suddenly, several gasps and suppressed laughter were heard. He grinned mischievously and shrugged his shoulders.
Trithiya called him in a warning tone, “Jungkook.”
“Yes mam?” He asked innocently. Trithiya sighed and said, “Sit.”
He sat down and smirked, leaning back smugly, Taehyun and Soobin laughed and said, “that was good.”
“I know.” He said smugly. Yeonjun turned back and said to Jungkook, “Hey Captain bro!”
“Yeonjun right?” Jungkook asked, Yeonjun nodded, grinning. She said, “That was cool.”
“That was simple.” Jungkook chuckled, Soobin stared at him in betrayal. He whispered in his ear, “Meri baat karwa na!”
“Meet him, he's Choi Soobin, my friend. And this is Kang Taehyun, my other friend.” Jungkook said, pointing at the two. The two smiled at her waverly gently, Soobin looked a little too enthusiastic with that wide smile on his lips.
“Bro you look like a creep.” Jungkook said smiling at Yeonjun, in Soobin's ear. Soobin's smile dropped in an instant, he smiled nervously.
Yeonjun waved at them with a smile and turned to the front. She said, “Tum ladko se baat nahi karti?”
"You don't talk to boys?"
“Arey ye bandi toh annkein nich kar leti hai koi ladka dekh toh.” Yeonjun said with a dramatic eye roll. Beomgyu knitted her eyebrows and asked, “Why?”
"Arey this girl lowers her gaze if a boy looks at her."
“I've been like that from an early age.” Taehyung asked with a small smile. Yeonjun rolled her eyes and said, “her mother strictly said not to talk to boys. Nothing else.”
“Why?” Beomgyu asked, confused.
“That belief of opposite genders shouldn't be friends.” Yeonjun said. Beomgyu ohed. Taehyung stayed quiet.
