Jungkook's POV

I'm sorry but just no...

How dare Jimin think he can, first of all, invite some random guy from his English class to sit with us, and then even worse, invite Namjoon to sit with us...

After everything he did...

"What do you mean 'No'?" Jimin asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I mean he doesn't deserve to, why should we give him the privilege of our friendship after everything he did to yo-"

"Isn't it the same as you though? After everything you did to me? I still forgave you, heck I fell in love with you, the least I can do is show Namjoon forgiveness." He cut me off and I suddenly felt quite ashamed.

I never even thought about how quick Jimin was to trust me and forgive me after everything I did, and I didn't even apologise, or ask for his forgiveness...

It's different now cause I'm different now... but I guess we have to give Namjoon that opportunity as well.

"So, Namjoon, you can sit with us, can't he Jungkook?" Jimin asked again and I continued to stare at the floor, nodding my head slightly in acknowledgement.

I'm such an idiot. I need to start learning not to take Jimin for granted.

Just as I could feel my eyes starting to well up my chin was lifted by some small delicate fingers, "Hey, kookie, it's fine. I love you, okay?" Jimin's soft voice cooed gently as his anxious gaze locked onto my watery eyes.

"Can we just go somewhere quickly, please?" I practically begged and he didn't hesitate to nod and stand up with me.

I walked him further back into the trees behind where we usually sit and kissed him softly, he kissed back for a moment before I pulled away, "I'm so sorry for everything Jimin, I know I've said it before but I never feel as though it's enough, I wasn't like Namjoon, I didn't own up to anything soon enough, I just gradually used you to improve myself and then you seemed to forgive me without me even having to ask... it's unfair on you to not get everything you deserve and I just wish I'd been a better person from the beginning..."

I watched a small tear roll down Jimin's soft cheek, before he smiled and kissed me again, "Jungkook please stop apologising, you can't possibly do anything more to make this any better, I forgive you, I love you, I don't need anything more from you, please. You are more than enough to make me happy Jungkook-ah."

Just as I was kissing him again the bell rang for our next lessons to continue, Jimin and I walked back to the others after I had wiped his tears. Everyone seemed a little awkward as we parted ways and went to different lessons.

Jimin and I had music next and today we had been told we would need to each perform something in pairs or small groups, Jungkook immediately told me we needed to sing a cute duet and I was freaking out...

"Can't I just play the piano to you singing like I've done before? Cause I can actually do that well, I don't know how well I can sing anymore..." I was whining as he dragged me to my soundproof room.

"Jiminieee~ please sing with me, I want to hear our voices together, please, I've been working on a cover recently and I really think it would sound good with us both together!" He was begging me with the cutest little pout so eventually I caved and said I'd try.

We spent the whole lesson practicing and surprisingly Jungkook was thrilled with my voice and was annoyed with me for not believing in myself and singing to him sooner.

"Come on Jimin, we have 5 minutes till we go and perform and I know you're going to do amazing, you just need to trust me and trust yourself, have faith in your voice cause it's so sweet and beautiful." He was being so encouraging it was adorable.

After just one last practice we were all called back to perform, Jungkook and I were told to go last, I think Mr. Osbourne was counting on us for a big finale... no pressure...

Everyone was really good, you would understand why we all chose music, everyone in this class was very talented. Listening to everyone else really wasn't helping my nerves.

When it was finally our turn to perform Jungkook held my hand and kissed my knuckles delicately, causing almost the whole class to erupt in "awww"s and "they're so cute"s.

I blushed before taking a deep breath as the music began;

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

I was glad that Jungkook had a lot to sing by himself first, as it gave me more time to get into the song and compose myself.

To be completely honest, I was happy with our performance, it went just as planned and we did sound very good together, apparently everyone else agreed as the whole class cheered for us both once it was over.

Jungkook bowed exaggeratedly and spun me round on the little stage making everyone laugh, he's so cute...

Mr Osbourne congratulated us for our performance and by that point it was the end of music and the start of what was unfortunately my second English lesson today...

Although, I don't hate English as much as I thought I was going to at the start of the day, Namjoon and I get along well and it seems I'm the only one this teacher doesn't hate so far.

As I got into the room and sat down Kyungsoo started a conversation with me, Mr. Wang wasn't in the classroom yet so he was asking me about my impression of the new teacher.

"Well I don't think he's as bad as everyone else does, he seems to like me, he's always trying to help me at least." I shrugged and Kyungsoo raised his eyebrows.

"Well it seems he hates absolutely everyone BUT you then, oh yeah what did he want to talk to you about when he kept you behind last time?" He asked but before I could answer the subject of our conversation walked through the doors making everyone go silent and open their books.

"Good afternoon class, I just want you to continue with the started work I gave you this morning, however I'm feeling in an even nicer mood this afternoon, so how about we do an exercise where you're allowed to move around the classroom and find a new partner after every English conversation is over between you and your last partner, no longer than 5 minutes per partner though. And NO misbehaviour, I'm trusting you to be sensible with this." I smiled to Kyungsoo beside me after hearing we could change partners multiple times through this activity.

Of course I first stuck with Namjoon and he helped me get back into the flow of using English, before I then moved on to talk to Kyungsoo.

"Hello." I giggled and he waved, "how are you Jimin?" He asked and I thought for a moment... "uhhh... Good? How are you?" I mumbled and he smiled and nodded "well done you answered right it's okay don't worry."

I sighed and calmed down, "thank you, I'm still not very good at this..." Just as we were about to start up our conversation again Mr. Wang was behind me, he put his hands on my shoulders and mumbled to us both, "I shouldn't hear any Korean around the room."

"S-Sorry sir." I stuttered and Kyungsoo nodded, "Jimin was struggling so I was reassuring him that he was doing well." He tried to save us and Mr. Wang started to smile, "see Jimin I really do think you should take those extra one to one classes." He soothingly murmured into my ear as his hands stroked my arms softly.

Kyungsoo frowned and answered for me, "ah but sir he can't stay today he's coming to my house to help with our Science project." I was confused... since we don't have a science project, but I did want to go to his house so I went along with it, "yes sorry sir, I can probably stay another time."

He sighed and nodded before stroking the back of my hair and walking back to his desk. "He's so creepy to you Jimin... I don't think he's allowed to be that close and touchy with students." Kyungsoo whispered and I frowned.

"You think? I'm pretty sure it's just his way of trying to make me feel okay cause he wants to help me get better so he's always acting soothing, probably because I'm always so frustrated with myself. I think he's nice." I responded and Kyungsoo looked shocked but couldn't question me further as we had to switch partners.

By the end of the lesson I had gotten a little better with each different partner before going back to have a final conversation with Namjoon who seemed proud of me. Mr. Wang listened and also congratulated me on my improvement before Kyungsoo and I left together for his house.

"I'm super glad you invited me over, I'm just sorry it took us sitting practically next to each other in a lesson for me to finally pluck up the courage to talk to you." I apologised and Kyungsoo just raised his eyebrows in shock.

"What do you mean? How come you were nervous to talk to me? I just assumed you didn't know I existed." He laughed a little and I shook my head, "no way! Obviously I wasn't always this well known around school and I was such a shy 'freak' as everyone would call me... and I dunno, I guess I saw you a lot and thought you seemed super nice and friendly and that maybe you wouldn't pick on me but I was too scared to find out."

"Well what about once you got out of the shy phase? I mean you changed quite a lot a while back, how come you didn't talk to me then?" He questioned again and it was my turn to laugh a little, "Well, let's just say I've never really lost the shy awkwardness, sure I gained other personality aspects and maybe a little more confidence, but I'm still so self-conscious I'm always too afraid to start conversation."

Kyungsoo seemed to think about what I'd said before humming slightly in response, "I guess nobody can ever completely change hey, but anyway, I'm glad we're friends now." He smiled and I returned the gesture just before we reached his house.

His house was similar to mine, quite small and homely, he didn't say whether he lived alone or not before arriving but upon entering the house I could tell he lived with his parents still. Although they weren't home at the time, there were a lot of cute motherly things around.

Photo frames of Kyungsoo and both parents littered the walls and beautiful flowers and adorable kitchen trinkets were just the perfect telltale of a mother at home.

I couldn't help smiling at the baby photos of Kyungsoo laughing with his parents, it made me miss my own parents, sure I'd seen them just recently over the New Year, but you can never spend too much time with the ones you love.

"Hey don't look at those it's embarrassing." The now slightly older starring boy from all the photos was red faced as he noticed me admiring his baby pictures, "They aren't embarrassing they're cute, they remind me of home." I smiled and he shook his head.

"Come on lets just go upstairs, there's less childhood embarrassment up there." I laughed at his comment as we made our way up the stairs to his bedroom.

"Woah your room is amazingly decorated..." I wasn't lying, the walls were what seemed to be a hand painted mural of forests and mountains and even a big deer painting staring straight towards me from it's still position on the wall.

He had a single bed in the corner of the room with pale blue sheets resembling the paintwork of the sky, and his shelves were all made of wood that curved and still had that natural feeling like they'd just come from the forest.

His room was minimalistic when it came to decoration but I guess it needed to be so it didn't take attention away from the gorgeous walls.

"Thank you, me and my parents painted it together when we first moved here, I did the deer." He said proudly and I grinned, "You're very talented. I never pegged you as an artistic guy..."

As the afternoon went on we chatted and got to know all the silly little things about each other that new friends always talk about, we played some games on his PlayStation, and just as we were about to go get food my phone started ringing.

"Oh sorry, it's Baekhyun, he never calls me... I'm sure it'll only be a minute." I apologised to Kyungsoo as I left the room to answer the call.

"Hello, Baekh-" before I could even finish my sentence he cut me off, almost sobbing, "Jimin I really need your help, I messed up..."

A.N.

Ohhh myyyyy it's been a good ol' whileeee 😬

I know it's no excuse and I make excuses allllll the time but College has basically taken a huge toll on me and my mental state and my anxiety has gone through the roof and in all honesty I just completely forgot about writing...

Finishing this chapter off at 2 in the morning has actually really helped me relax though, so I'm sorry for taking so long as usual and I'm not gonna promise to be any quicker cause I know I won't stick to it, so all I can do is apologise.

On a different note, I also may take a while with the next chapter causeee I have a plan, but not enough of one. Spoiler alert but basically Baekhyun and Taehyung have fallen out because of something Baekhyun did... BUT for the life of me I can't think of something to blame the argument on...

So if ANY of you have ANY suggestions, ALL OF THEM WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED 😩🙏🏼 It literally could be anything that Baekhyun could have done to upset Taehyung, although I don't want to go with him Cheating cause that's just the easy route everyone takes to cause an argument in a couple 😅

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND FOR ANY CONTRIBUTIONS YOU MAKE I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH

Byyyeeeee 💗💗💗
