For as long as Jungkook can remember, Taehyung has been there.

Not as the protective older cousin Jungkook wished for, but as the loud, relentless source of every childhood annoyance. Taehyung would steal his snacks, mess up his hair, steal his seat, tease him until his ears turned red, then laugh like Jungkook's frustration was the funniest thing in the world.

To Taehyung, it was fun.

Jungkook was quiet, easy to fluster, and far too easy to tease. Taehyung never understood why Jungkook hated it so much. In his mind, bothering Jungkook was simply the easiest way to get his attention.

Jungkook saw it differently.

Every family gathering meant another encounter.

Every peaceful moment could be ruined by one familiar voice. Eventually, avoiding Taehyung became second nature.

So every night before falling asleep, Jungkook made the same little wish:

Please, let tomorrow be a day without Kim Taehyung.

Then high school finally arrived.

A new school. New people. A chance to start over somewhere Taehyung couldn't reach him.

For the first time, Jungkook thought his wish might actually come true.

Until he heard a familiar laugh in the hallway. He looked up.

Taehyung was standing there.

Same F*CKING annoying smile. Same shameless confidence.

And now, apparently, the person Jungkook had spent years trying to escape was going to be part of his everyday life.

Jungkook's worst nightmare had followed him into the one place he thought was safe.

But Taehyung doesn't seem to realize how much Jungkook truly hates him.

Or perhaps he knows—and simply finds that even more entertaining.

Either way, Jungkook's first day of high school has barely begun.

Ready For This School Life?!🙅🏻‍♂️
