' Y/n's P.O.V.'

His hands clutch the snacks and can to retrieve a close spot beside me and my eyes follow his slender fingers working on tearing the cover apart to fish my favourite snack."Eat.",His eyes switch to me, drawing the stick near me and my heart runs on a pedestal. I'm still processing the last few moments, forcing my mind to acknowledge how vulnerable I was and his sweet actions are only making it harder to avert my attention elsewhere.

"No, I'm full. I've had enough at lunch today.",I don't unveil the real reason and further my face from his hand.He studies my face obnoxiously, a frown etched on his eyebrows, his eyes laid on me."No, you didn't. You usually snack between lectures but for the last three days, I've been watching you eating just a sandwich and an apple in school so you clearly have been eating less than your appetite.",he surprises with his observation, detailing about it like he has a clear record assorted in his mind.

"It's just that I'm not feeling hungry much nowadays and are you stalking me to notice what I've been eating?",I don't lose the rein over this conversation but he deposits the stick back in the packet, making me sigh."You're really cute if you think you would manage to change the topic. Tell me what you've eaten after lunch.",He straightens his back, shooting me a piercing look that makes my mouth go dry. It's not like I'm doing it on purpose but I think he's right about how I've been suppressing my hunger. I manage to do it well at home because my mom doesn't bother about the meals unless dad is home but I don't think this will be the same when I'm with jungkook.

"Nothing but honestly it hasn't been that long.",I adjust my figure to scoot consciously before answering him and notice something fierce shifting in his eyes."Three fucking hours, pocky. It's been three hours since you last had that small sandwich and you want me to think you aren't hungry?",His expressions grow adamant but his words hit needles in my heart. Nobody has been considerate about my meals and hearing him argue about this makes me overwhelmed.

Not hearing a word from me, he lays the packet on the comforter, shifting closer to me until there's barely an inch left between us. My eyes drop at his arm, rising to his chocolate eyes that always manage to make me fall in a never ending thrall. We've already gone a lot far and have to find a way to stop this."What's happening, y/n? Are you really forcing yourself to eat less than you want? Is it because of the thing that we discussed earlier?",His voice is soft, delicate as if he's pleading with me to let a secret in between us. A weight on my chest pulls my breath taut, countless words coming in my mind and I can't bring my lips to part. It hurts too much to speak because that makes me feel how pathetic I am for living like this.

"I thought I was eating a lot. Without any reason. So I found a way to stop it and regulate my habit.",I choose accurate words to not broach the topic again. It has been emotionally draining for me to confess all those things but I had felt a soothing comfort, an escape and relief when he had embraced me with his arms and words. It's embarrassing how easily he can make me open my heart to him and how he makes sure to make me feel secure with it which is one of the reasons I'm going to hold strong to not disintegrate before him again.

He licks his lips, blinking at me as if he had deciphered the actual reason but he chooses to not address it."You don't need any reason to eat. If you feel like eating something, eat it. You don't need to limit yourself to eat a certain food or quantity,y/n. Eating less than your appetite will only trouble your mind and stomach and we all have different levels. Don't try to suppress it for any reason, okay?",He dips his eyes at me, not going in depth with his words after a long conversation so I nod and smile involuntarily at him.

"Now open.",He nears the snack close to my mouth,the authority in his voice making me realise how persistent he can be so I don't oppose and part my mouth to bite on it.His eyes drop tentatively to my lips, striking a deep gaze before switching to my eyes so I don't refrain from the eye-contact that brings butterflies in my stomach at every chance.I'm getting used to a different side of him that I've never come across which is threatening for my heart and mind.After I munch the sweet snack in my mouth, he tears a different packet of candies to unfurl one and put in his mouth to relish it before returning his attention at me.

"Are you going to feed me from now onwards or is this only for today?",I take another serving between my lips, my words bringing an amused grin on his lips."If you're not eating enough? Yes.",He affirms the confidence in his tone reaching up to my heart to rush the thumping in my chest.I already know he's going to occupy the entirety of my brain the next time I eat my favourite snack and this is enough of a warning but I can't stop myself from melting into a puddle at this moment.

"That's a nice job but then would I get to feed you too?",I slide the packet from his hold in my direction, his lips stretching into an appealing boyish smile when he figures my actions which is rare on his face.I think I want to see more of this from now on."Whenever you want.",He parts his lips to consume a marshmallow in his mouth causing his tongue brush against my fingers.My breath hitches in my throat when at the slow lap of his tongue, the clasp of his lips around my fingers and the constant gaze that he stills on me. A swooping sensation rises in my stomach and my composure collapsed at his deliberate movements.

"Happy?",He cocks his eyebrow at me so I nod, nibbling on the smile that he brings on my face. He has no idea how easily he can disintegrate me into nothing with his actions.

We finish the snacks together which involves him feeding more than half of them and taking a little for himself after a lot of insisting. I don't know how I'm able to frame my expressions when my heartbeat storms every time he inches the food close to me. I've never felt taken care of like this before but at the same time, I can't help craving it.

"Now that we've fed this little baby here, let's take a nap. Hm?",He stands from the edge of bed, heading towards the walk-in closet which is similar to Junghee's. His arms pull the hoodie sprawled across his torso, the tshirt underneath his thick clothing rising to reveal a miniscule of the abs and v-line.My eyes automatically drop on the seam of his tight pants to enjoy the sight that I wouldn't want to miss at any chance but I remember to mutter something so he doesn't catch me."Who lied to you about me being a baby?",I lean against the headboard, clutching the comforter along with me and earning his look.

He closes the door, pacing towards me with diminutive steps, his knee weighing the mattress down while he leans forth to cup my hot cheek. My toes curl in the blanket at his sudden closeness but he absorbs my sight like it doesn't faze him, like he loves watching me flushed."It isn't a lie. Look at you pocky, you're almost burning.",His thumb rubs on my skin, renewing a heat that spreads across my body and I can't fight him so I conceal myself with the blanket, moving my face in the opposite direction."No, it's just hot in here and I'm sleepy so I'm going to take a nap.",I immerse myself under the duvets to avoid unveiling my vulnerable state. This is the best when I don't want to boost his ego just yet, no matter how much he affects me.

"Ah yeah? You sure it isn't hormones going crazy?",His voice carries a lilt of smugness, his hand removing the blankets from me so I counter his actions by covering myself."No, it's just the sleep getting to my head.",I chuckle at his childish attempts to see how much of a blushing mess I am. His hands close around my figure, pulling me close against his torso but I scoot myself to not face him, our giggles filling the room as I struggle to free myself of his hold."I think I make you dizzy,baby.",He speaks in the nape of my neck, his words laying a realisation and the nickname consuming my mind.My body lists towards him, his eyes settings firm on mine and I struggle for my chest to not vibrate evidently.

I've always had a thing for endearing terms like these and the faint whisper slipping from his mouth just made it worse for my heart.

"It's just you getting ahead of yourself.",I lick my lips, when his eyes hover over my face, noticing every little detail of my face. His hands clamped on my body anews a rush in my veins that makes my heart throb, my eyes watching his gaze slide down my pupils to fixate on my lips. This is making me conscious about myself because nobody has given me such an intense watch but at the same time, it feels wonderful, almost too tempting to demand more. He blinks to switch his pupils at me, a smile breaking on his lips to address me."We'll see about that soon.",He states the obvious,"For now, let's get you your much needed sleep, yeah?", he teases me, stressing on certain parts of his sentence, forcing a breathy smile from my lips so I shift closer to him, loving the warmth his arms offer me.

He doesn't question my actions, relieving me and folds his arms across my body to stick our bodies, his slow breath fanning over the back of my neck stirring sensations in my body.My eyes drop on the veiny arm sprawled across my stomach, my gaze travelling from his arms to his slender fingers until it halts at his tight clasp, crowding my mind with a million questions. I can feel his scent invading my mind, addictive and charming. As much as I can't get enough of this closeness, I can't help bouncing back to the things that bother me every time.

"Jungkook?",my voice comes as a whisper, fearful to speak my instincts."Yeah.",He squeezes my waist, depicting his attention so I don't waste another second to pour my heart."You're not going to ignore me tomorrow, right?", I chew the skin off my lips, the beat of my chest unceasing since the moment his arms have engulfed me.

"What?",He snaps abruptly, bewildered by my unexpected worry and turns me onto his side for me to scrutinise his expressions. Eyes flabbergasted, lips pinned in a straight line and eyebrows crossed, he gapes at me to explain my apprehension. "This…..what we are doing today, like you listened to me, comforted me and I'm having a really good time today.It means a lot to me, more than you can imagine. I'm not expecting anything but I also don't want us to act like it never happened tomorrow. I don't know what I'll feel if you ignored me or behaved awkwardly, tomorrow?",He reads the fright in my tone which scares and comforts me at the same time and a sigh heaves his chest.

"I don't know what kind of assholes started making you worry about things like this but I promise you, this is not going to change. Not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and the day after that. You don't need to worry about me disappearing in thin air or acting like a jerk after spending such a good time with you.",his concern brings a genuine smile on my lips and a hope to confide in him despite all the strenuous tension in my body. I don't think I can go back to being the same after discovering this sweet side of his. Not a syllable escaping from my mouth, he senses my response in the curve of my lips and lurches forth to plant a kiss on my forehead, sheathing a blanket of joy all over me. I'm smiling like an imbecile so I turn to my previous juxtaposition to close my eyes and bask in this new comfort that tranquils me before I hear a soft chuckle against my back, letting me know I wasn't discreet enough.

8:45 A.M.

"So you're going to submit these assignments to me by Friday for the assessment. You can take inspiration from case studies but the matter should be original. I hope I'm clear with my instructions because some of you have been…..",Mr.Han trails off about some of the students plagiarising assignments from the internet, pissing the defaulters but I don't bother listening to him since this is not aimed at me. I push my glasses to retract on my notes when I feel a slight tap of fingers on my shoulders and the scent approaching my body makes it pretty easy for me to identify the person.

"Why did you leave so early? You should've at least woken me up.",he nears himself to whisper close to my ear so my eyes shoot back to answer him."Mom needed me home and you were sleeping so I didn't want to wake you up.",I don't reveal the actual reason that my mom doesn't like me to bond over boys and I had to actually lie that I was spending time with junghee. He buys my words but I discern unease on his face that reveals he hasn't settled yet."It's okay. I just didn't like it when I woke up and found your side empty. I thought you were in the bathroom but you were gone.",His tongue pokes the inside of his cheek,his words taking me aback and my mind refuses to be subjected to the concern.

"Why? Are you being clingy now?",I cover my thoughts with a smug smile that is bound to set him off the edge and he guffaws at my comment. I knew it."Shut up, pocky.",he tears away from the back of my bench to seat himself wholly on his bench,"Just don't do that again.Next time,tell me before you leave.",I repeat his words in my head over and over, testing if his speech was just a figment of my imagination but they don't vanish and my eyes land on his which are showing no trace of retreat. Are we going to do that again? He would've certainly given it a deep thought before thinking or else I'm forcing mine on him. Flashbacks invade my mind and my heartbeat hastens at every memory, every touch, every word we shared yesterday. I'm still unable to recover from the heat that his actions left on my body that made me feel like I could crumble down any moment.I don't think he has any idea how he affects me.

"Pocky? You there?",he bursts my bubble and I lick my lips to snap out of the daze, giving him a nonchalant smile."Alright. I would tell you.",I don't wait for him to respond and return my focus to the notes in front of me, half hoping that he doesn't disturb me and half wishing otherwise.

1:16 P.M.

Closing the locker after securing my clothes, I head towards the door when Eunji halts my pace with her abrupt appearance, along with her friends."Where are you going in such a hurry?",She cooes with her annoying voice that I dislike with every bit of my body so I step aside to proceed, not willing to give them my attention and time."Let her go, eunji. Maybe she's going for a quickie with jungkook.",A familiar voice makes me swirl behind to absorb her audacity. Danbi pursues her lips at me as if she didn't just force her wild assumptions on me while I'm alarmed enough to not move an inch.

"What? Aren't you his little slut now that he has dumped me?",She steps near me, her disgusting stare gaping at me but I don't care. It's her words that cut through my heart. I'm attempting my best to not lose myself in her trap but I can't seem to get my mind off them."You guys weren't together. Did he really dump you?",She seems threatened by my words as if I managed to tick her off when my own mind is a mess with every assumption clouding it."He did. Just like he's going to do with you when he's over you. I just can't believe he chose a disgusting fat whore like you to be his next toy.",My hands itch in themselves, my heartbeat slowing down in my chest. I blink my eyes to ward off the tears but my heart breaks at the edge no matter how much I try to comprehend it.

I should've known it. I didn't manage to sear through his sweet actions and words because I was too busy grasping them in my fucking head."What? You really thought he would touch you without thinking with his dick? Come on y/n, he's not any different but I'm surprised that he chose you to be his slut. It's only a matter of days until he fucks you and leaves you to be fucked like a whore by every other boy.",Her words ring in my ear and my chest rises with heavy palpitations, my vision getting blurry with the tears forming in my eyes. I can't breathe normally anymore so I struggle to follow the exercise to breathe through my mouth that dad once told me but panic runs through my veins.The moments from yesterday all seem like a set-up for me to be lured in like danbi. Is this how he looks at me? Is that why he did all this? Because he knew I was easy?

My clasp on the clothes loosens so I push them close to my chest, swallowing the tears and stepping away to get out of this suffocating place. A harsh tug on my hand pins me to the door, my back landing with a thud that provokes an ache in my spine."I'm going to speak it since your dumb ass can't read between the lines. Stay the fuck away from him, not only because you're ruining things between us but also for your own sake.",Her hold on my wrist tightens, the blood drains from my veins and her closeness makes it difficult for me to breathe. The tears spill from my eyes making me feel more pathetic but I can't help feeling worthless."He doesn't need to get high off a fat bitch like you when he can have a lot of girls who are better than you.",The lump in my throat gets heavier and I cannot think anymore. The comments made by my mom, Joonsu, my ex boyfriend, each one of them settle in my mind, weighing like a never ending burden and staggering my senses. Her gaze and their memories make me feel disgusted about everything that I do, wear and eat.

"Leave her.",She looks behind at a foreign person interrupting us, loosening the clasp on my wrist to let it fall lifelessly along my legs. I blink my tears away to adjust my frame as Mingyu stands as a shield between me and danbi, his presence not helping the pain that the realisation etched in my mind."Woah. Are you fucking this bitch too? Just what is wrong with you guys to even look at a fat pig like h—",he cuts off her sentence by thrashing her cheek with a harsh slap, inviting gasps from her friends. I can't seem to move nor witness this scene."You speak one more time about her with your dirty fucking mouth and I'm going to tell everyone who's the actual bitch here.",He doesn't bother about the redness left on her cheek and stands intimidating against her.

"You go around fucking every man you see and you really have the guts to say the same about a girl who can easily surpass each one of you?",His vision redirects to her friends who are enough stunned to steer their way clear of him,"And aren't you girls worse than her if you're supporting her?",He throws them a vexed glance, his rage evident in his stance when he steps near her who's speechless after earning a slap on her cheek. I'm terrified for a number of reasons and this is becoming a lot to comprehend but I don't move."Now this is what you're going to do. You're going to approach y/n after some time and you're going to apologise. Nicely.Yeah? Otherwise I've got some really interesting stories to share about each one of you.",He doesn't wait for them to answer and turns to me, his eyes noticing my fragile state that makes me feel ashamed.

I don't want to be pitied by yet another person, not after everything I just heard now because her words sound convincing now that I've experienced a new side of jungkook."Come on, let's go outside.",Mingyu blurts at me to take notice so I follow him in the hope of a comfortable space to absorb all of this.
