7:40 A.M.
'Jungkook's P.O.V.'

"Alright mom, I'll see you. Love you.",I walk across the doorstep after glancing at my mom, my peripheral vision absorbing her smile so I clasp the strap of my backpack tight on my shoulder.The air feels fresh around the garden that she likes to maintain on the lawn, mushy green grass prancing a scent along the line of shrubs as I walk towards the lane to take the footpath to the bus stop.My eyes hover over the neighbouring house to trace any signs of the presence of a girl but I don't catch her anywhere close so I revert my attention to my phone.

The screen lights up in my hand so I open the messages to check as I dozed off last night, wrecking over games but I find none worth replying.

As my footsteps approach the shelter of the bus stop,my gaze falls on the familiar figure of a girl who's sitting with her bag on her lap, her legs swinging beneath the bag.Her look instantly falls upon me but she averts her eyes to avoid the eye contact when I already caught her staring at me.She takes out her strawberry milk from her bag to sip tentatively on it, the flavour of which I know by heart now considering how she's never spotted without her favourite drink."Are you still on the same flavour?",I gain her attention when I take the seat next to hers and she moves further to give me a seat but also twists her mouth into a scoff at my words that carry a drip of sarcasm.

"Why do you bother? It's not like you pay for my milk.",She presses her lips into a straight line, moving her eyes towards the road to wait for our bus. I'm still amazed at the nonchalant behaviour that I receive from this small baby when all I see her doing in school is studying her books.I lean back onto my seat but still keep my gaze on her as she relishes her milk with the same content since the start of the semester."What's with the tone?I miss my sweet y/n.",I tease her, knowing that she would react the same way I want her but my eyes drop on her thick thighs that her short skirt reveals into my vision so I lick my lips to shift my gaze onto her.

"Oh I'm so sorry jungkook. I called you out for poking your nose into my business without any apparent reason.",She gives me a cheeky smile as a counter attack and I'm already loving this little game that I missed since the summer vacation.

"Oh no, don't smile. You're gonna kill me with that damn smile of yours.I can't breathe anymore.",My hand goes to my chest in a poor imitation, her eyes following my movements intently and her lips parting from the straw to look at me in belief but soon, I see the amusement on her face which makes me laugh at my exaggeration."You're seriously so dramatic.",She shrugs as usual , but chuckles adorably at my words. It's so easy to make her flush and hold the reins of the conversation with her.

"So tell me what did you do during our vacation?",I show some interest in her life as I'd like to know more about her. Although, she transferred from another school at the start of the semester and we're neighbours but I feel like I know much less about her.A soft hum escapes from her lips as she props her elbow on her bag to place her chin in the girth of her palm, her face turning to look at me and her lips glossy from the juice."Nothing much. We went for a vacation in Hawaii and then visited my grandma in daegu. That's one good thing because I hate the sun shining on my fucking head.",her tone expresses discontent,"What about you? Don't tell me you didn't get out of your room and played games all day.",She already guesses about me but tilts to look at me, her eyes peeking at me.

"Damn right, you know me well.I don't like visiting my relatives and I was too lazy to go anywhere so I stayed in my room or sometimes hung out with Dongseok.",She guffaws at my comment, a throaty chuckle leaving from her mouth and leans back, her body now sticking against mine but we don't show any hesitance.

"So you're telling me that you turned 19 and didn't go anywhere to celebrate your birthday?",She makes a big deal about a matter which seems of very less significance to me.I don't know why people go all out to throw big parties for their birthdays when it's just another day on this earth except the fact that you've turned a year older.

"It's not that I don't like celebrating it but I just don't know what's the big deal about it, you can just have a close dinner or spend time with your close ones or som—",A loud voice echoing from the opposite side distracts us, causing me to pause as both of us look at ahead to see a familiar boy."Y/n!",He shouts in excitement, rushing in our direction and steps on the pavement to clasp girl next to me in a tight hug so I shift my eyes to look at anywhere except them.

"You're late, Joonsu.",She complains but chuckles with the biggest smile I've seen before he snugs her closer in her arms.To steer myself out of awkwardness, I rise from my seat to walk towards the edge of the pavement, keeping my eyes on the road to catch the bus while I hear faint sounds of their conversation."I'm sorry, I couldn't find my phone.How are you?",His voice is soft as usual when it comes to her since they're really close with each other.She answers her accordingly, her words accompanied with giggles. I forgot I had to see the unbearable public affection in front of me again which I hate to see no matter who is it.

"Hey, kook.How have you been?",He calls me by my nickname that only my friends use so I look behind to see them still snuggled close to each other."I'm good, you?",I keep it short since I have my own speculation about this one.I don't trust him one bit since danbi has told me about his behaviour with exes and I comprehend if he will do the same with y/n despite he treats her with care and affection."I'm good too.",He puts her eyes on her,"But I missed you.",He makes her smile like she never does with me and I find this strange.

I deviate my gaze to my device to reply to the messages that have been blasting my phone from last night.

Donghyun
>Why is this bitch texting me at 2 fucking A.M. asking about you !]
> Why aren't you picking her calls?]
> And then why the fuck is she calling again?]

Jungkook
[Just ignore her , you know how clingy she can be<

Donghyun
>Ya, right. You don't have to care because donghyun will get all the backup calls while you switch off your phone and play games all day.]

Jungkook
[Thanks for caring about me 👍<

Donghyun
>🖕
> Whatever , you gotta finish whatever stuff is going between you two soon.]

Jungkook
[Alright , I'll see you at school<

I exit the chat , thoughts about danbi lingering in my mind as I'm already aware of the fact how others are perceiving the relationship between us but I shrug since nothing about her concerns me.

To my relief, the green bus comes into sight so I shove my phone in my pockets to wait for a few seconds before stepping inside the bus.I push my card against the detector before taking the window seat and watch the two people behind me taking a seat together , still engaged in a deep conversation. Since I know it's going to be a 20 minutes long bus ride , I plug my earphones in to listen to my playlists.

8:20 A.M.

"Kookie",Jaesung beams at me to steal my attention as I am about to enter the classroom so I step back , excited to meet him after our vacation.He rushes across the crowd to speed his pace to reach me as I pass a hand through my hair , clearing the locks off my face."Hey…..how are you?",A grin spreads across my face as he slaps my back in zeal while we step inside the classroom."I'm good but you should've come with me man.I told you it'll be fun in Japan.",His face showing his amusement about the trip doesn't lessen anytime soon as he reminds me of my presence voided in the trip.
 
"I know but I didn't feel like it. I was okay with myself in my house.",I tell him the reason but he raises his eyebrows at me in a frown as we cease our steps to converse."Alone? Seriously? I was so pissed when I only saw your parents and Junghee at the airport.",he expresses his discontent after I backed off at the last minute.For some unknown reason, I had felt under the weather and staying by myself seemed a better option.

"It's alright , I gave you my word , we'll go on a trip soon.",I separate with him at the conjugation of our rows as he goes to sit on the bench across the corner , leaving me on the other side ."Just remember your promise and we'll have a great time.",I nod at his response and take a seat behind y/n who's engrossed in reading the schedule of our classes with a fractious impatience scribbled all over her face.

My bag now set against the leg of the bench, I lean comfortably in my seat as the teacher hasn't entered yet but my eyes land on the girl before me, her body slouches on the desk to immerse herself completely in reading the schedule. Before I can stop myself from following my instinct, my neck cranes so that I inch myself closer to the nape of her neck, my eyes dropping on the timetable that she's holding in her hand. I can feel my pupils widening at this, this girl is insane.She's planning to not miss any extra class when I go crazy only at the few ones we have.

"That's pretty packed.",My words come as a whisper near her earlobe causing her body to jolt at the slight brush of my lips on her skin.A gasp leaves her mouth when she tilts her face to look at me with disgusted vexation making me know that I managed to piss her off.Her eyes blink at me before she sets the paper on her desk to shift back to her previous position."Yeah , because unlike some people I like to pay attention to my studies.",She speaks like a mad little girl but her chest heaves from sharp breaths as if my touch has incurred a vibration in her body.This is adorable.

I don't move away,  intended to not leave this brat, especially after her sneaky remark."And would you like to tell the names of some people , little brat? Hm?",She brings her eyes to focus on me, her face arches so she looks behind me as I notice the rage in her eyes disappearing when she realises the close proximity between our faces. My words engorge a pink hue on her cheeks, not even a whisper escaping from her lips.I feel like she's really sensitive to turn red whenever I tease her but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the effect that I have on her.

"Ya, don't flirt in front of me when I'm single as hell.",Donghyun breaks the silence between us so I keep my smug smile and retrieve my seat before getting a glimpse of her licking her lips parched , her chest rising as she pulls in a long breath.

"There's no reason for you to get a girl anyways.",I throw a glare at the boy who just occupied a seat across the other row but didn't miss to comment. Y/n doesn't answer me but picks a pen to highlight her classes on the schedule since she's always very eager to take extra classes of her favourite subjects.

"And you think you have every girl wrapped around your fingers?",He scoffs but I see a light hearted amusement on his face so I lean back to spread my legs beneath the bench , my legs struggling to fit inside my seat."Not everyone, but the ones who I want? Always.",My confidence arouses from my past encounters with girls but I don't show a great interest in this conversation, especially around a girl like y/n who seems too innocent to be indulged in casual relationships with boys.I don't think she's ever occured to be in a fling since I've known her.

"Somebody reject the shit out of this boy.",I don't pay much attention to his last comment before he settles to sit adjacent to us."What about you, y/n? Have you ever gotten a rejection?",He doesn't stop with his stupidity, instead engaging her in our conversation and I watch him leaning forth into her towards her chair but she doesn't ask him to move away nor shows any signs of impulsive reaction like when I do the same.I have known about them being friends even before she entered in our school because of their parents which can be a reason why she reacts more friendly with him than me.

She puts her attention on him , tucking a strand of hair behind her ear using her tiny finger and nibbles on her lips in deep thought, her mind clearly wandering off somewhere else but she blinks to answer him.

"Would you like to tell the class what's so important that you are not paying attention to the lesson?",Mr.Seo breaks our conversation to deviate everyone's attention on us , making her pause. Both of them straighten their back leaving me the only one with an arched juxtaposition."Sure, If you don't plan to teach today, sir.",I swirl the pen along my fingers but shift back comfortably in the seat now that the tension is spewing evidently in the classroom.I've always felt him picking at students without any reason and some of them endure it because of the assessments or the grades but I don't care.

"Unfortunately, I don't allow any conversations except that regarding to your subject so I want you to pay attention to today's lesson.",He puts an end to our conversation and proceeds to explain the pictures on the digital screen so I mumble an "alright" to myself before drifting my eyes away from him.

Y/n doesn't look at us and instead focuses her attention on the book on her bench. She was about to answer us which is increasing my curiosity to know more about her.Why did he have to break our conversation right when she was about to answer!

12:30 P.M.

I quicken my movements to catch up with the little girl who's walking towards the cafeteria,all by herself, her bag hanging from her shoulders.In an instant , my hand goes around her neck holding her frame close to my body, my arm now encircling her nape as we walk together."What did you bring today?",I beam at her without any apparent reason while she raises her eyes to look at me before pressing her lips plaintively.

"Sandwich and pretzels.Do you like them?",She uses her soft voice but my attention goes to all the students that are staring at us with doubtful glances.I don't give a shit about what they've been assuming since the start of the semester.Regardless of the truth, they will keep spewing rumours which entertain them and their groups so it's a thing I care about the least.

"Good for you. I don't like pretzels and I definitely need something more than sandwiches.",She notices my smug smile and her lips twitch into a smile at my excuse as we enter the hall.She possesses a calming laugh, so soft yet full of warmth that it makes the people around her happy."As if I was going to share my food with you.",She steps forward to reach for a table, leaving my side as I flash a look at my friends, assuring them that I'd be joining them soon but I don't plan to leave before handling this brat.

"You would've.", I'm confident of my words, when my eyes dive into hers as she sits on the chair while I stand facing her."What makes you think that I will share my food with you when you annoy me so much?", She challenges me so I put my hand on the back of the chair, my other hand slammed on the table as I lean forward to trap her small figure. Her eyes dart to mine, her throat digests a gulp of breath and her lips part out of surprise.The frantic blinking of eyes make me realise that she's startled by my sudden movement but at the same time, I sense her breathing hard to adjust to the position.

"Because I know how to get what I want.Trust me.",Her cheeks waste no time glowing red like usual , whenever I come close to her. I'm aware of how she doesn't react the same when anybody does that but whatever. She inhales sharply before I step back and join my friends."Eat well mad girl."

I smile at her reactions because I've never been so amused by someone.Mingyu clicks his tongue with a frown as I arrive on the table , munching on the crisps and looks at me blatantly."What did I do now?",I take a seat next to Jaesung who's busy tapping aggressively on his phone and put my eyes on the man before me."You know that you've been troubling her since the semester has started,right?", He brings up the subject that he's always broaching whenever he watches me with her and I sigh at the death stare that he gives me.

"I don't think so. We just have fun teasing each other and she's not one innocent girl that you think she is.",I don't forget to tell her what I am confident of although his words always bring up uncertainty about my friendship with y/n.He sets his eyes on me furtively while I wait for his answer in silence.

"Kook is right, remember the one time when she intentionally teased you by eating a banana slowly when your dick was hard ? Damn she's got the guts.",Jaesung leaves his phone to participate but receives a well deserved kick in his calf before he laughs with a growl,leaving me embarrassed. I still reminisce the day when I had to compose myself but I had no idea that she was going to appear in an empty classroom when I was calming my hard on. She didn't stop even after catching me in my vulnerable state and I fucking hate that.

"Whatever but don't mess around with her. What if she feels for you or something?",Mingyu now speaks in an undertone , leaning towards the table ,his words sound unconvincing. Although I like messing around with her, I have never seen her as my interest considering she isn't the type of girl that can steal my attention in a romantic way, besides she already is in love with Joonsu."No shit.You, out of everyone, knows that I have no interest in those relationships full of pathetic teenage love and she knows about it too.",I slide Donghyun's tray to pick up the vanilla donut which gives me joy to relish before taking a bite to enjoy the flavour.

He doesn't say anything but takes a glimpse of her sitting in the next row so I do the same, only to catch her consuming her food alone.I don't spot her friend around her unlike the morning bus rides.I don't give a damn about it and focus my eyes on the donut that tastes sweet in my mouth when donghyun taps on the table so we all look at him."By the way did you talk to Danbi?",Donghyun chimes , reminding me about the girl that I have seemed to have forgotten about.

"Not yet.Why? You've been getting real impatient about her.", I don't know why he's behaving skeptical about her but I make a mental note to have a serious conversation with her regarding our arrangement."She can be attractive but she's clingy for no reason.I don't even know why you have a thing with her.",He speaks with resentment, notioning that I should consider talking with her.I didn't take her as the type but she's been getting on my nerves and surpassing the boundaries that we've agreed upon."I feel the same, that's why I avoided her the whole vacation. I think I should talk with her.",I sip on the cold beverage in the can as he hums before his eyes slip to look around the hall.

"You need to….. because I see her coming right in our direction",My eyes shoot to the entrance of the cafeteria , catching the sight of her bouncing steps to reach our table and I breathe a "fuck" under my breath.
