Chapter 17
Jennie's P.O.V
I was walking down the hallway, keeping my head low. How funny it is that I used to look down on other people who were weak against me but now I'm one of them. With my head down and hated by everyone.
I was walking towards the Principal's office because he called me and I'm left with no choice but to head towards his office. If it were my old self I wouldn't have given a damn about this but look now, here I am.
I can't even understand how such small events can change your life, I was happy, had friends, had every boy wrapped around my finger, envied by girls but now it's the total opposite.
I'm the outcast now.
It's all because of that nerd or I'm just blaming her to make me feel good.
I sighed, well after that incident I should actually thank her because now I can see everyone's real face, they are all fake, they all were just after me because of my money and even my parents, they don't love me, their care for me is fake.
I'm so sick of this fake love.
I entered the Principal office without knocking and stood in front of his desk. I think he didn't notice me because he was busy on his phone, so I cleared my throat which startled him.
He cleared his throat and straightened his back, "Jennie Kim, have you ever heard of the word knock." He scolds me and I just rolled my eyes in return.
Just get this over with!
He sighed and motioned me to sit which I did, with my arms resting on the armrest and leg crossed. He just shook his head at my way of sitting then leaned his elbow on his desk with intertwined his fingers.
"The reason why I called you here is that your grades are worst than before," He says, eyes glaring at me.
Why am I not surprised?
I resist the urge to roll my eyes, he continued, clearly not pleased with my reaction, "That's why I decided to set a tutor for you." He says with a smirk.
"WHAT?!" I literally yelled at him.
Oh no! I must have heard wrong.
"Jennie, behave! This is my office, not your house." He scolds me again. I was fuming, I can't have a tutor, my life is already becoming dull and now he's doing this to me.
"I have already talked to your parents about this and they seemed pleased by my idea and you don't have to worry about the tutor, he's a student here with very excellent grades."
Just then we heard a knock and I didn't bother to look who was it. "Come in!" I can hear the door creak open and then the Principal's eyes lit up. I still didn't care who it was but I heard a reply in a deep voice, "Good afternoon Sir, Why did you call me?"
Now I was curious because that voice was awfully familiar. Curiosity got the best of me so I turned to look at the familiar blank eyes which were surprisingly staring back at me, making my heartbeat fast. I quickly looked away.
Does he even have any other emotions?
"Ahhh, Mr. Kim, just in time. I want you to meet Jennie Kim whom you are going to tutor." The Principal exclaimed happily while I internally groaned.
I looked towards him to see his reaction and saw that his eyes flashed a look of surprise but only for a second, he quickly composed himself and again with his infamous blank stare.
I sighed, I guess didn't have a choice because he nodded. We both made our way outside and of course I just simply walked out of the office while he bid his goodbye to the Principal, then stood in front of me.
I looked up and saw him in front of me, still blankly looking. I just realized that he is really tall and I look really small compared to him.
I didn't look this small with Jimin.
"So, when and where do you want to study?" His deep voice cut me out of my trance and I blurted out without thinking, "Your house," I thought he would deny but he just nodded and looked at his watch, "Meet me after school outside the gate." He said. I was left confused but still nodded, I don't why I'm always quiet around him.
The bell rang meaning lunch break is over, I groaned. I didn't have breakfast today and now lunch.
Feeling helpless and hungry, I just made my way towards my class. And the classes went by usual. When finally school was over, I lazily packed my bag because I didn't have enough energy due to my empty stomach.
When I reached the gate, he was already standing there with his hands stuffed in his pockets and his back facing me.
I walked towards him and just when I was about to tap his shoulder, "Took you long enough to come." He said then turned to look at me with that blank face, still with hands inside his pocket while my hand in the mid-air, with mouth half-open.
How did he know I was here?
This guy is really weird.
"I don't like waiting." He added.
I just nodded which is totally not me because if it was anyone else I would've snapped at him for ordering me around but like I said before, whenever I'm near him I can't seem to talk, it's like words are at the edge of my tongue ready to slip yet they won't come out like they're stuck in my mouth.
I was out of my trance when suddenly my stomach growled. I'm sure I must've turned red from embarrassment, he looked down at me, blankly.
"You didn't have lunch?" I scratch my neck and blurted out, "Actually breakfast too." I looked down, why am I being shy and nervous.
This is so not like me.
I think I need to pay a visit to the doctor.
He sighed, "Follow me." I quietly followed him, not saying a word but after a while, the silence was killing me so I broke it, "Where are we going?"
He didn't glance at me, still looking forward, "My house, as we planned." He replied. I think he doesn't like to talk that much.
Look at this guy, I'm dying from hunger and he's taking me to his home to study, well what can I expect from a nerd.
I'll ask him for some food when we'll reach his house or else I'm not studying with an empty stomach. I nodded at him and kept my mouth shut until we reached his home.
It wasn't a mansion like ours but it wasn't small too, It looked decent and medium-sized.
We entered the house and it gave me the feeling of warmth, coziness, and comfortableness. He motioned with his hand to take a sit in the living room while he went somewhere.
Probably for his books.
I made myself comfortable on the couch and looked around the living room, trying to find something interesting.
Why is he taking so long?
I don't have a whole day, I just want to go home, change my uniform, eat, and sleep. Just when I was about to tell out his name at him I heard footsteps.
He came and said to follow him.
Why does he always make me follow and why do I always willingly follow him?
We reached his kitchen and to my surprise, there was food prepared.
Ramen!
I licked my lips because the smell of the delicious food was making me even more hungry. "Eat as much as you want." He pointed to Ramen and I was shocked by his offer because never in my life anyone willingly made food for me except Jisoo, not even my Mom, just thinking about it makes me sad.
I miss Jisoo.
I thanked him and he only nodded at me while sitting on the opposite stool from mine. It was delicious.
Didn't expect him to be a good cook.
I looked at him, only to find him doing something on his phone. I returned to eating and I almost had eaten all the Ramen when I remembered that he must've also wanted to eat because he was also at the Principal's office with me, so he might also have skipped lunch.
When he saw my empty plate, he stood up and started washing the plate. "Are you not going to eat?" He didn't look at me.
"I'm not hungry." He replied while washing the plate, just then his stomach growled and I resist the urge to smile.
"Okay, as you say." I shrugged and I saw his cheeks turn a shade of pink.
He looks.....cute?
I shook my head before my heads fill with ridiculous thoughts.
He ignored my comment and said while wiping his hands then folding his arms over his chest. "You should head home now, we'll start our session tomorrow."
I nodded, "T-Thanks for the food." I'm not used to saying thanks to people but I really appreciate his effort.
He just nodded with his blank stare. I made my way towards the door, how funny it is that in just a small period I feel comfortable around him.
Just what are you Kim Taehyung?
I held the doorknob when suddenly I heard him, "Wait!"
I looked over my shoulder and he was grabbing his jacket, "I'll walk you home." He said and the craziest thing was, I nodded.
