Chapter 13: First Timers Gets Paranoid

jeongguk was happily munching on a tuna-filled sandwich while taehyung stared him down on the other side of the counter, arms crossed and leaned back.

the younger ignored the stinging pain on his bottom as he wiggled around to get comfortable, cheeks burning up in embarrassment of the memory. his eyes quickly flickered up at the older, and the red hue just deepened at the sight of taehyung looking all smug.

out of all the punishments jeongguk has endured during his time here, the spanking was probably the most tolerable. that was only because taehyung had whispered encouraging words and the occasional praises, making it not as bad. however the evident red handprints all over his asscheeks was a very good reminder not to cross the line.

it was painful, but it was also... fine?

jeongguk didn't know how to explain it.

nevertheless, he swore to himself never to let taehyung do that to him again. it was humiliating and he felt vulnerable now, his badboy persona had crumbled and taehyung saw a side to him that he buried deep within his mind.

he slipped up.

and as much as he was telling himself that he hated that side of himself, jeongguk couldn't help but feel like a weight has been lifted from his shoulders when he released the cute little scared boy inside of him.

and taehyung took care of him.

jeongguk peeked up from his sandwich again, this time taehyung was scrolling through his phone.

the teen gulped when he gazed the taller from head to toe. he never forgot how stunningly handsome taehyung was, body lean and tall, and a chiselled face with striking features.

"if you're done staring, it's time for us to head to school." the older says without moving his eyes from his screen. jeongguk's cheeks are set ablaze and he glares to the side at the wall in embarrassment.

ah. right. school.

"m'not going." he mumbles, pouting down at his sandwich. "it's stupid."

taehyung sighs while tucking his phone his back pocket, finally looking back at the teenager.

"why don't you like it?" he asks, trying to understand why the younger detested going.

"because, everyone is annoying and it's a waste of time." he shrugs.

"well too bad. it's mandatory for you to attend. so we're going." taehyung bluntly states before picking up the younger's empty plate and putting it into the dishwasher.

"but taehyunnng!" jeongguk literally whined like a child.

why the f**k did he do that?

god, he's embarrassing himself too much lately.

i better shape up.

taehyung sent him a strict glare and the younger gave up. trotting into his room and getting ready.

don't get him wrong though, jeongguk was not about to endure ten hours of school because was afraid of some sort of potential spanking.

he had a plan.

━━━━━

taehyung dropped him off. thankfully he didn't walk him all the way to his classroom this time. he's probably satisfied enough with how jeongguk winced every time something brushed against his bottom.

to jeongguk's utter surprise, taehyung placed a small little peck on his cheek. smiling smugly and then almost kicking the younger out so he wouldn't be late to class.

it was... weird.

felt like someone was caring for him. something his parents should've done

maybe... taehyung was doing his guardian job right. well, jeongguk has been with him for a few days and taheyung has done more for him than his own mom and dad.

a few steps into the building and someone was already calling out to jeongguk, perks of being popular- although jeongguk doesn't really consider them perks.

"aye jeon!" the said boy turned to spot the gang of friends he usually smokes with. the one who called out his name was some kid his age called sunghyung, jeongguk regularly supplies him with weed. "wanna skip last period n' come hang with the boys?" sunghyung asks while walking up and slinging an arm around jeongguk's shoulder

now, jeongguk wasn't dumb. he never missed how sunghyung's eyes always flickered over his body, how his fingertips softly rubbed circles on his skin and how his sight always lingered on jeongguk's plush lips.

but the kid is too scared to make a move. jeongguk doesn't blame him, because he would most likely swing a fist if the other ever dared to try anything.

sunghyung did suck him off once. they had gotten really high and the other had decided to take his chances. while jeongguk refused to kiss or anything, he didn't really protest when sunghyung slowly started to stroke his clothed c**k.

one thing led to another. and y'know... next thing he knows, he's getting the most passionate blow of his life.

but jeongguk doesn't do the same people twice. maybe they hadn't gone all the way but sunghyung's little crush was enough for jeongguk to keep his distance

"maybe." jeongguk grunted while shrugging the other's arms off of him. "i think m'gonna head to town."

sunghyung frowned, reaching out and grabbing onto jeongguk's sleeve.

"come on, gguk! ya haven't hung with us in a while!" sunghyung whined, clinging onto the other which seriously ticked jeongguk off. he twisted arm out of sunhyung's grasp.

"fine. i'll come." he said. "but i ain't got any weed on me."

sunghyung smiled at the other's response.

"dun' worry 'bout it. travis got it covered."

jeongguk nodded and walked off to his first class. which he was actually going to attend.

damn, taehyung methods might actually work.

━━━━

or maybe not.

jeongguk was on cloud nine. mind buzzed and vision tilting. he threw his head back after taking a large hit, inhaling the dead taste of m*******a into his lungs. then he let it out, the smoke falling from his lips and his eyes closed. body leaned back onto the stone wall behind him.

he rolled his head around, loving how everything seemed so... disconnected.

"feel good, huh?" sunghyung asks across from him, eyes heavily lidded and a lazily dopey smile on his lips. jeongguk just hums, not opening his eyes. g-guys..." another boy–jeongguk doesn't know his name–who looked a little younger, begins to breathe heavily and looks a little panicked. jeongguk internally groans and rolls his eyes when he realised what was going on. the guy was being paranoid–the worst type of high-and could start screaming any second now if no one calmed the guy down.

why do first-timers think smoking this heavy s**t with a bunch of troublemakers is a good idea?

not wanting to be caught by any teacher that would show up alarmed from all the screaming this guy was about to do, jeongguk handed the joint back to travis and then made his way from campus.

it wasn't long until he heard some footsteps behind him.

"hol' up! jeon!" sunghyung. of course.

the boy ran up and stopped jeongguk in his tracks.

jeongguk wasn't in the mood, he wanted to leave.

"are ya comin' t'night?" sunghyung questions with big hopeful eyes. jeongguk knows he's referring to their nightly hangouts where they smoke some more.

"i dunno." jeongguk shrugged and then tried to leave only to be stopped by the other, once again.

"come! gabriel got hol' on sum molly! it'll be fun!" sunghyung tried persuading, and it works. jeongguk's eyes brighten up at the mention of the drug. ecstasy was the best type of s**t.

"f**k. yeah, i'll come." jeongguk says, and sunghyung finally releases him, looking satisfied.

"cool! see ya there!"

jeongguk really really shouldn't have gone.

he should have seriously listened to taehyung.

because now everything has gone to utter and complete s**t.
