{ Eun Bi's P.O.V }

Silence. Grave silence.

It has been exact four hours since the moment I stepped inside this empty, ridiculously and unnecessarily big house. Doing tasks like cleaning, studying, preparing and eating dinner and watching television made these four hours bearable but now that I sat on the couch in the living room, it was so silent I could hear my own heartbeat.

I wish someone was here.

*creak*

Jumping on the sudden creaking voice that came from the kitchen, I stood up abruptly. And the very next moment, my heart almost jumped straight out of my mouth when the doorbell rang and echoed throughout the house.

Gulping, I walked towards the door and peered through the peep hole but it was futile due to the darkness spread outside. Even though, despite the darkness, I could see a frame shuffling right outside.

"W-Who is it?" I asked, grabbing the umbrella that was placed nearby.

"Ghost." came the reply.

That voice...

Opening the door slightly, I peeked outside, "Jeon Jungkook? What are you doing here?"

Placing his finger on my forehead before pushing me, he stepped inside, "Are all houses in America so big? Though this house is no match with Jimin hyung's mansion, it's still twice the size of our house on Korea," he said, walking inside casually as he took off his cap, "Oh! Right!" saying that, he turned around to face me, "Sorry for the intrusion." he said before smiling widely.

I sighed as I closed the door, "Come in.
," I said as we made our way into the living room, "What are you plotting this time?" I asked as I motioned him to sit on the couch.

Sitting down in a mannerful way, he placed his cap beside him, "Nothing. I'm just here to talk."

At his statement, I gave him a narrow-eyed look.

"Don't judge me like that. Would you sit down now or are you gonna keep standing?"

Sitting down and folding my hands in my lap, I said, "What is it you want to talk about? Just to make sure, I still don't feel completely comfortable around you and let alone, trust you, so you better make it quick."

"Don't worry. I won't try anything funny nor will take much of your time," looking around the house, he turned to me with a confused look, "Where's your uncle and aunt? It's quite late, aren't they home yet?"

"They went off on a trip. Won't be back for weeks," I answered as I shrugged my shoulders.

"For weeks? You'll be alone all that time?"

"Seems so."

"Hmm, okay. Anyways back to the topic, the reason I'm here is the reason why I came to America in the first place."

Creasing my brows in confusion, I asked, "And that is?"

"It is..." he trailed off as he stood up and suddenly, he bowed to me at a perfect 90° angle.

"W-What are you doing?" I waved my hands in air as I stood up.

"I'm sorry, Lee Eun Bi," he said, still bowing, "I know I can't make up for everything I've done to you but..." straightening up, he looked at me with eyes full of honesty with not even an ounce of evil in his whole face which made me question if this was the same Jungkook I knew in Korea, "I just want to assure you that I will never ever do anything like that again. Not to you nor anyone else."

"I-I don't know-"

"It's okay, you don't have to force yourself to answer," saying that with a small smile, he picked up his cap before placing it on his head, "I just wanted to convey my feelings. Thanks for hearing me out," smile turning so wide his teeth started showing, he walked towards the front gate, "I'll leave now. But..."

"But what?" I asked him who was looking around the house.

"Will you be fine alone? Your area's quite vacant as well."

"Well..." trailing off, I remembered the creaking voice from earlier. Shaking my head before smiling, I said, "I'll be fine."

"Then... I'll leave now." saying that he turned around and placed his hand on the doorknob.

*bang!*

The loud crashing voice that came from the kitchen made me and Jungkook jump in surprise.

"Wh-What was that?" Jungkook asked.

"I-I-I don't know," I said, my voice shaking in fear as I got closer to him and tugged on his shirt before speaking in a shaky voice, "There was a creaking noise earlier as well."

"Could it be that... someone is inside the house?" turning his head to me, he asked.

Eyes widening in fear, I looked at the kitchen, "Th-That can't be..."

"Let's check out," saying that, he grabbed the umbrella and took a step forward. I also followed him from behind as we slowly made our way towards the kitchen.

Turning on the lights, we saw a pan lying on the floor.

"It's just a pan," chuckling, Jungkook went up and picked the pan before placing it on the kitchen aisle.

But that pan... I placed it in the sink.

"Well since this mystery is solved now, I'll leave," adjusting his cap, Jungkook started walking out of the kitchen.

"W-Wait, Jungkook. Don't leave."

Turning around, he asked me with a mixed expression that emit confusion and surprise, "Pardon?"

[ An hour later ]

{ Jungook's P.O.V }

"So that's what happened. She was too scared to spend the night alone so I bought her over," I explained to Jimin hyung as we were all seated inside his room.

It was already past 9 so everyone in the house except Jimin hyung had gone to sleep.

As I was done with my explanation, Jimin hyung agreed to let her stay over and gave her one of the guest's room to spend the night in. After that was done, we wished her a 'good night' and went to sleep.

As I laid down, a smile spread on my face.

Being good... isn't bad at all.

{ Author's P.O.V }

As Eun Bi walked out of the house with Jungkook, the person who was hiding in one of the kitchen cabinets came out before punching the wall really hard.

"Da*n it!"

[ Morning ]

In order to not run into Jimin hyung's parents and answer their questions until I grow old, I decided to leave early with Eun Bi.

"Say, Jungkook..." Eun Bi said as she walked up to me even though we've been walking at a distance since we left the house.

"What?" I asked, looking at her.

"Are you really Jeon Jungkook?" she asked, making me crease my brows in confusion.

"What do you mean?" I asked in a confused manner.

"I mean, what made you change so much? You were like so snobby, arrogant, proud, rude- to sum it all up, you were a brat. But now you look more like..." she trailed off as she stopped and grabbed her chin as to be in thought, "What's the right word for it?"

"Charming?" I said as I smirked.

Looking at me with a blank face, she held up a finger, "Please forget all what I said.

"Well you are right," I shrugged my shoulders as I continhed walking, "At that time, I had many problems. But after that and especially since I came to America, I felt like I should start anew. You know like making a new game character. Since I used to be, as you called me- a brat, I thought a change would be better."

"It is better."

At her words, my eyes widened in shock. Clearing my throat as I turned around to her, I intertwined my hands behind my head, "Wh-What do you mean that?"

"The change you were talking about earlier, it's not bad. I'd recommend if you stayed like this. Oops- we're gonna be late." she finished and started walking forward easily.

What's with her? She said I changed but she also seems really different now.

In a good way...

{ Eun Bi's P.O.V }

"Morning, Ashley. Morning, Jay." walking inside the classroom with a smile, I took a seat.

"Good morning, Eun Byul. What's up? You look happy," Jay asked as he sat in the seat in front of me.

"Yup! I am," I asked as I fiddled through my backpack.

"Hey, Eun Byul?"

"Hmm?" I asked as I looked up at him.

Placing his elbow on my desk and resting his cheek on it, a wide smile spread on his face, "Wanna go on a date with me?"

Listening to his words, my jaw dropped to the floor as my heart stopped for a moment before it started jumping around violently inside my chest.

[ Recess ]

"Found you, finally."

Turning my head to the voice, I saw Jungkook standing at my classroom's door, "Jungkook? What are you doing here?"

Making his way inside, he slumped on the chair in front of me. His face lifeless as he melted into the chair, "I need help~~" a soulless voice left his form.

"What happened?" I asked as I continued doing my work.

"I can't understand anyone or anything!" he exclaimed, throwing up his hands in defeat.

"I can relate to an extent," I said as I shut my notebook before handing it to him, "Here. Don't get them dirty and return them tomorrow before the third class."

Face lightening up like a bulb, he gasped, "Really?! I can have them?"

"Yes. Now I'm off to have lunch," I said as I was done packing my stuff and stood up.

"Let me treat you," he said, standing up abruptly.

"Free food? I'm in," I said as we high fived before walking out of the class.

"Oh wait. I left my wallet in the classroom," he said as he patted his pockets, "Let's stop there first. I've to put your notes in my backpack as well."

Shrugging my shoulders, I follwed him up to the first floor where his classroom was.

After he was done, we were now walking down the stairs.

"What will you get for drink?" he asked, his hands stuffed inside his pockets.

"Maybe the usual orange juice. Or something expensive I never buy with my own money." I said as a smirked appeared on my face.

"Well you helped me out a great deal so I guess-"

Suddenly Jungkook was cut off by the sudden happening.

"Eun Bi- you.." he trailed off as we both stopped in our steps.

I looked down at my clothes which were soaking wet. Water was dripping down from every inch of my being. Smelling my shirt, I made a disgusted expression.

"It's dirty water," I said as I looked up as well as Jungkook to see who just poured a whole bucket of dirty water over me but there was no one.

"Hey! Who the heck is there?!" Jungkook yelled as he took a few steps upwards.

There came no reply.

"I'll go check," saying that, he ran upstairs.

Gritting my teeth in anger as my palms turned into fists, my nails digging inside my palms, I started walking towards the gym to get my gym clothes and change into them after a shower.

{ Author's P.O.V }

Sighing in defeat, Jungkook walked downstairs and went to Eun Bi's classroom. Eun Bi had changed into her clean gym clothes after a shower. After telling her about not finding anyone upstairs, Eun Bi shrugged it off as she had grown quite hungry. Together, they both made their way towards the canteen.

Little did Jungkook know that when he went upstairs, the person with the bucket in hands was hiding in a nearby classroom and gritting their teeth in anger.
