The weekend flew by really fast. Rachel and I haven’t talked to each other ever since what happened on Saturday and Namjoon and I are on talking terms when Rachel isn’t around.

Monday was about the same as any other Monday at school although as I walked through the hallway with Jin, I could hear bickering from the girlfriends about why can’t their boyfriends be like Jin.

Jin walked me to my first class and kissed me goodbye. I walked in and greeted Namjoon.

“Hey.” I said and Namjoon looked at me while I put my books down on my desk next to him.

“What?” I said. Namjoon blinked back to reality and looked away.

“Nothing. I just thought you would be mad at me for what happened with Rachel and you.” Namjoon sat down in his desk.

“Why would I be mad at you? Rachel is her own person and so are you. Whatever she does is separate from what you do.” I said.

“But we’re dating so…” Namjoon looked at me and I let out a breath and looked him straight into his eyes.

“So what if you guys are dating. I don’t care!” I shouted.

I looked around to see other students looking at us and then to Namjoon.

“Sorry, just forget it. I don’t want to fight with you right now.” I picked up all my things and headed out of the classroom.I don’t know what else I can do. I can’t skip so maybe I can just take a sick day.

I walked to the office where the nurses office was and knocked on her door.

Namjoon’s POV

       I  feel really guilty about what happened with Sungmin. I should've never even brought it up and maybe she would be here right now. Honestly I don’t get why she is all worked up over Rachel and I dating. It’s not like she likes me right? No, maybe shes just being a protective friend.

I shake my head to myself and sit down at my desk. I run my hands through my hair and wait for class to start.

        Class wasn’t the same without Sungmin here. I sat there bored out of my mind, tapping my fingers on my desk thinking about all these thoughts that ran through my head. I hope she didn’t go home and just went to the nurse office till she feels better. This isn’t like her just to leave school just because of a small fight we had.

        Lunch time came along and I walked to my locker to put all of my books in when I was greeted by a kiss on the cheek from Rachel. I kept a straight face and ignored her for a moment when I closed my locker.

        “Hey, Namjoon, is something bothering you?” Rachel grabbed my arm and pulled me to face her.

        “Have you seem Sungmin anywhere?” I asked. Rachel looked like I just offended her and rose one eyebrow, letting go of my arm.

        “No, why are you even looking for her?” She said.

        “Oh it’s nothing. Come on, let’s go to lunch.” I lied and held out my hand for Rachel to take it.

        While eating in the lunchroom, I was interrupted by someone jerking me up by the arm and pulling me away. We walked out to the courtyard and then Jin turned around to face me.

        “Where is Sungmin.” His voice was sharp while his eyes bared down on me.

        “I don’t know, I'm just her friend so why should I know.” I said. But to be honest I want to know for myself where she is.

        “Well I’m her boyfriend and I would like to know because she's not answering any of my texts or calls.” Jin grabbed me by the collar of my shirt with his hand.

        “Fine, she got mad at me and left.” Jin let go of me and came up close to me.

        “It’s people like you that don’t deserve to be in Sungmin’s life.” He whispered in my ear and walked away. What the crap was all of that about? I shook it off and walked back to the lunch room where Rachel and her friends were sitting.

        “What was that all about honey?” I sat down next to her and propped my head up with my hand and my elbow on the table.

        “Nothing important.” I said.

Sungmin’s POV

        I didn’t want to go home just for the reason that my mom would worry about me coming down with something even though my acting skills were pretty great when I went into the nurse’s office, telling her I was sick.

        I left school without telling Namjoon or Jin that I was gone, but when I stepped out of the parking lot, I realized I had no ride to take me anywhere or any bus fare. My mind went into action thinking of all the places that were in good walking distance.

        The first thing that came to mind was the cute cafe I went to the other day where Jin saved me from talking to Namjoon and Rachel. I shook my head at the thought because they might show up after school there.

        The second thing that came to mind was the park. Parks are cute, and no one thinks about going there. I began to walk and finally reached it. I walked through and took a seat on an old playground swingset and gently pushed myself back and forth closing my eyes.

        I focused my senses on the noises around me. The birds chirping, the way the wind blows every now and then and even the parents with their kids that play around me. For the first time I feel relaxed like I was drowning under water and finally made my way to the surface and filled my lungs with air that I so longed for. I feel happy and all the broken pieces from my past are slowly coming back together as one.

        My relaxed moment all came crashing down when I heard someone walk up next to me and ask me a question.

        “Mind if I join you?” I opened my eyes to see a rather cute little boy with his school uniform on and his head bashfully looking to the ground. Well I say little, but he looked around maybe a year or two younger than me. He was asking to sit next to me on the swing that was available to my left.

        “Sure.” He smiled ever so soft and took a seat. I looked at him without realizing it. I studied his face which reminded me of a cute bunny. He seems so timid about his surrounds and afraid of other people. All of a sudden he began cry after trying to hold it in, but was failing.

        “Are you okay?” I finally built up the courage to say something to him. He nodded his head and wiped his tears away from his pink puffy cheek.

        “No, don’t stop crying. Sometimes it’s good to cry.” I slowly reached over and lightly placed my hand on his shoulder. The boy looked at me confused and then began to cry even more. After a awhile I couldn't help, but to shed a few tears.

        “Why are you crying now?” The boy wiped his tears away once again. I kept silent only to just look at the ground because I don’t know how to answer his question.

        “What’s your name?” I said, changing the subject.

        “Jungkook…” He said dreadfully.

        “You sound like you don’t like your name.”

        “Because I wish to not have it.” I think I just reopened up one of his wounds.

        “Why is that?” I asked digging deeper.

        “My parents gave it to me before they abandoned me.”

        “Oh.” was all I could say until he explained further on his own will.

        “My foster parents say that they did it out of love to just leave me out in the rain in an alley next to a dumpster. But is that what love really is?” Jungkook turned his head to me and his eye watered with tears.

        “I don’t know, that is something that I have wanted to find out myself for years now.” After I said that I explained a little about who I was and what I've been through. Jungkook could seem to relate. He grew up in an orphanage being passed around by several parents not to mention probably more pain than me by going to school.

        “They used to bully me, calling me orphan. At first I didn’t know what it meant, but when I figured it out it seemed that their words cut me with glass.”

“It was about the same at home too. The other kids would pick on me and what even hurt worse was that they found loving families and I still wait for mine.” He finished. We sat the rest of the time in silence. I pulled out my phone to check the time and seem that I had seven missed calls from Jin and couple texts. He is so going to kill me.

“It’s nice to meet you. I hope we can spend some more time together soon.” I got up and turned around to only be caught by the younger boy who had grabbed my jacket.

“Don’t leave me here alone.” He looked up at me with his eyes that just melt my heart.

“I have too, but if you ever need me here’s my cell number.” I got out a piece of notebook paper out of my bookbag and wrote down my number, handing it to Jungkook who took it.

“Thank you Sungmin.” Jungkook smiled up at me and I smiled back. What a cutie he is. He could be like a little younger brother to me. I waved goodbye, leaving Jungkook still at the swing. I pulled out my phone and dialed Jin’s number, preparing for the worst. After a couple rings, Jin picks up immediately.

“Sungmin where are you?” Jin didn’t give me a chance to say hello.

“Sorry, I just needed a break from school today. I didn’t feel that well.” I said

“You could of at least called…” Jin trailed off. I know I have to make it up to him big time.

“...”

“Anyways where are you at?”

“Leaving the park near the school.” I said.

“I’m coming to get you right now.” He said.

“Jin-” He hung up before I could say anything.

Jin picked me up and I got asked so many questions like I was being interrogated. I finally told him everything and where I went and even about Jungkook. Jin listened alonged when I opened up and then he told me that we were going to his house because his grandparents were out of town and he didn’t want to be alone.

As we pulled up to his house, more like a mansion, my eyes got really wide at the view. You could say his family had money. Jin pulled into the driveway and parked the car. I got out of the car and looked around at the beautiful house. There were gardens full of flowers and willow trees and not to mention a porch that wrapped around the house.

We walked up to the front door and I looked around more while Jin unlocked the door. He opened the door and I walked inside making my jaw drop.

A maid greeted both of us and took us inside of his house.

“Your house is beautiful.” I looked around in amazement. It was furnished with victorian aged style furniture, antiques, chandeliers and not to mention a huge staircase that lead to the upstair.

“Come on.” Jin laughed and took my hand to lead me to the living room.

We sat down on the couch and kept looking around the room.

“My grandpa is the chairman for a international food market business so he makes quite a lot of money.”

“I see.”

“It was passed down to my dad before he passed away, but when I get old enough all of this will be passed down to me and so on.” A maid, about my age, pretty and elegant, came in and began to clean up the room.

“So sorry for the mess Master Jin. Would you and your lady like some tea or something while you're here?”

“It’s fine, you do a wonderful job as it is.” Jin winked at the maid making her giggle.

“Sungmin would you like something?” Jin turned and asked me.

“Uh.. Do you have Coke?” To be honest I’m not a fancy person when it comes to drinks. I like it to be just simple old caffeine drink.

The room fell silent and I looked around to see Jin and the maid looking at me.

“What? Is that too much trouble? Then just get me water-” Jin laughed

“No, no, Coke it is. Jin do you want anything?” The maid asked and Jin shook his head. The maid went on her way out of the room leaving me and Jin alone.

“That’s Jessica, she is one of the housekeepers and the daughter of one my dad’s close co workers when he was alive. Me and her grew up together and are practically brother and sister.”

“Oh then why is she working for you if her family is as rich as yours?”

“Well you see, her family went bankrupt after they went on their separate ways from our company and we helped them get back on their feet by buying a restaurant for them. Jessica is working for us just to pay us back for the help we gave their family. But thats enough talking about that. What shall we do till you go home?”

“Watch a movie?” I shrug.

“Okay.” Jin gets up and turns on the TV and picks out a movie for us, meanwhile Jessica comes back with a two liter bottle of Coke and some cups. She knows what’s up. But I feel bad that she went through all the trouble to go to the store just to get me my soda.

Jin starts the movie which ended up being the typical Jin choice of a cheesy romantic comedy. He comes over and sits farther away from me than normal. Maybe it’s because Jessica comes in and out of the room.

During the movie I did the most lame middle school move on a date you could do out of the book. I placed my hand next to me on the couch to signal Jin could hold it, but what frustrated me is that he didn’t fall for it so soon enough I gave up and crossed my arms.

When the movie was near the end I looked over to Jin sound asleep. Jessica came in minutes later and took a pillow, lifted Jin’s head slightly, placing the pillow under his head. I took out my phone and texted an apology to Namjoon about earlier today when we had our little fight at school.

Minutes later Namjoon replied and said that we could just forget about the whole thing. When the movie ended Jin woke up from his nap. He cutely yawned, stretching his arms out and then laying down, with his head on my lap.

“What time is it?” He asked with his eyes closed.

“Almost 8.” I looked at the time from my phone.

“I guess I have to take you home then.” I smile and began to brush his hair out with my fingers.

“Yeah it’s about that time.” Jin moaned and stood up, grabbing his jacket and car keys while I gathered up all of my stuff.

“Jessica I’ll be right back. I’m just taking Sungmin home.” Jin called out and we headed out to his car.

We reached my house in a time span of ten minutes. He drove up to my driveway and I was about to get out, but Jin grabbed my arm.

“Wait.” I closed the car door back.

“Yeah?”

“Sorry about not cuddling with you when watching the movie.”

“I know. I know. Jessica was there and you didn’t-”

“It’s just that she would of told my grandparents and they can be… stricted on who I can date or not.”

“Oh…"       

“Yeah I want them to meet you properly rather than hearing it from someone else.” Jin smiled and leaned over to kiss me. I kissed him back and got out of the car and headed inside of my house.
