Chap 8 - Tutor
Jimin's Pov
"I'm sorry, I'm not going to the dance." Kian sighs as he turns away. I instantly feel bad and grab his arm.
"Wait," I say. He raises his eyebrows as I continue. "I'll think about it. Okay? It's not a certain yes, though." He nods and smiles before running off down the hall. That's the fifth guy who has asked me to the dance in the last two days. I knew I was acceptable with the way I looked, but I never thought I was beautiful or pretty like some of the guys have said. Maybe they just think I am naïve. I don't really know...
Jungkook said I was beautiful...
He's just being a gentleman, right? I bet he says that to every person in this school to be nice. It doesn't mean anything personal... I shut my locker and make my way to the cafeteria. I sit down at our regular table and wait for everyone to arrive. I see Taehyung and Jungkook at the end of the cafeteria talking. Jungkook seems stressed out. Sort of like he is nervous about something. What could it be?
Jungkook's Pov
"I know, it's not that big of a deal... I just, I'm nervous. I don't want him to think I am an idiot," I sigh. Taehyung was literally coaching me on how to ask Jimin to tutor me. He was telling me how to approach the topic and situation. I also asked him for advice about the dance. Like, how to actually dance. I am horrible at it. But Jimin cannot know that...
"He would never think that. He is too nice and he would be guilty if he said it. He would be guilty if he even thought it for a split second. Don't be nervous. There is nothing to be nervous about." I nod as we both make our way over to the table.
Jimin's Pov
Jungkook and Taehyung walk over to the table. Yoongi had become ill suddenly yesterday. He was getting sick in the toilet right before he was supposed to go to school. As Jungkook sat down, Taehyung cleared his throat.
"Oh.. I uh, just remembered that I have chess club today. Important meeting! Can't stay for lunch. Sorry guys!" Taehyung winks at Jungkook and sprints out the door. What was that about? Taehyung only has chess club on Thursdays and Fridays... Today was Tuesday. I unpacked my lunch and gave Jungkook the banana. He thanked me and I smiled at him in response. We sat and ate in silence for a while before Jungkook cleared his throat.
"So... Uh, Jimin?" He asks. I turn towards him and nod my head, silently telling him to continue. He scratches the back of his neck nervously. Was he going to ask me to the dance?
"I was wondering if you could help me with Biology?" Oh. Why would I get my hopes up? I bet he already has a date anyways...
"Um, sure. What do you need help with?" I ask.
"Everything," he chuckles. I shake my head.
"You could come over to my house after school? I could text you the address. What's your phone number?" He looks away before mumbling,
"I don't have one."
"Oh. Well, uh... Do you think you can remember it?" I ask. He nods. I tell him the address and he nods.
"Okay. How do you get home after school?" He asks. I shrug.
"I walk."
"Why not I just walk with you?" He asks. I nod.
"Sure." We finish up our lunches and throw away the debris into a nearby bin. I look over at Jungkook as we walk down the hall. He seems skinnier. It worries me that he doesn't eat lunch. I'm sure he eats lunch and dinner, though. I shouldn't be worried. He is probably just one of those people who doesn't get hungry.
"Jimin?" He asks. I am snarled out of my thoughts.
"Huh, what?" I ask. He laughs.
"Are you alright? You seem a bit off," he says. I nod.
"I'm fine," I smile.
