Jungkook's POV

Next day

8:30 pm

"Y/N c'mon I am hungry. Please just take a break for fifteen minutes, your eyes are stuck to that book for almost 3 hours now. Let's have dinner first." I whined again for the fifth time requesting her to take a break and have dinner first. "Yeah just 2 minutes more." She repeated the same thing once more. "You are saying that since past half an hour." I complained trying to get her attention off the book by using my puppy voice. "Ok fine, let's have dinner." She broke into a smile ,I was longing for. She finally agreed closing her books and packing her stuff.

                     10 minutes later

We both were seated on the dining table face to face while eating the food when I initiated a conversation.

"You know, you are studying a lot these days, if you keep your eyes glued to that boring book at this rate, I bet you will be the topper of your batch." She chuckled at what I said. "I have to ace in these exams, teachers expect a lot from me." She explained me the cause. "So that's why scoring is not an option, it is a requirement."

"Well, that's true but everyone sees the marks on the paper no one wants to know the hardwork put in to thrive it so don't take them to seriously. You will definitely ace up to their expectations." I told her my concern.

"Well, firstly I am not stressing so don't worry and sometimes appreciation and expectations makes you do things you don't like." She replies me.

"So does that means, you don't like studying?" I asked her further.

"Ofcourse I don't, I like the appreciation and incentives I get from that." She answered me truthfully and that is one thing I like about her, she is honest with her opinion and how she expresses it.

"By the way, when are your exams? Mine is by the end of this week." She asked me putting the spoonful of food between her lips. "Actually we don't have exams, we had projects to complete and I am already done with it. My eyes balled out and my hand and legs gave up completing them." Her lips formed a cute O followed by a sweet chuckle when I told her this. "Your work will pay off, definitely." "I wish that too." I returned her the smile.

" Still, you are so lucky, that you don't have exams, atleast you don't have to study like owls at the night and screw your brain with bookish knowledge." I laughed at her remark, but wanted to ask her to not stay up all night studying, I know she is already putting a lot of effort, for her to reach at the top. She doesn't need to do more.

But I kept my words locked in my mouth, since I know she'll not like it if I pamper her too much.

She doesn't like anyone standing in her way, telling her to slow down. So I decided to stay quiet and continue to relish the textures and flavors of the food she made.

                     Two days later

I was walking through the corridor of our university to reach my locker and take some specific books for my next class. When a male figure bumped his shoulder into mine purposely, making me look at him and his stupid fellow.

"Watch where you are going dude." The only person on this campus who can drive me up the wall just with his voice said with a smirk displayed on his lips.

"Oh it's you, the boy who has the audacity to beat me, where are you going huh? To go to meet your little bitch." He said trying to provoke me, but I maintain my composure, trying not break his jaw, with one blow, so I used words instead.

"You know a difference between you and your sister is that you use your brain a little too much whereas she doesn't even uses her." I threw it on his face provoking him the same way he did it to me.

"How dare you talk about my sister like that." He gritted through his teeth grabbing me by my collar, easily getting triggered.

His friend who accompanied him pulled him back by his shoulder to leave me. "Chill Sungho, we don't have to make a scene. We are here for another purpose." He muttered in the infuriated boy's ear but it was loud enough for me to hear. After listening to his friend, he forced his clenched jaw to turn into a evil smirk again.

"I will take my revenge on that later, but most importantly I came to give you this." He gritted in anger, but it made me confused, he came to me for a reason. "Yejun give him the booklet." He instructed the person with him who handed me a small palm sized book, titled as the 'New Rule Book of SULA' (A/N: SULA means Seoul University of Literature and Arts.) "I am giving you this in advance trust me you'll need it." Sungho said leaving me alone, finally letting me breathe in peace.

I glanced at the rule book given to me, and read its title again. "He'll need it more than me." I snorted under my breath, poking my tongue at my inner cheek as I saw his figure getting vanished after he turned to an another corridor. I shoved it into my bag and proceeding to my locker.

                            2:30 pm

All my classes were done and I had packed my bag getting ready to leave. I put the straps of my bags on my shoulder, going out of the class. When the phone in my pocket buzzed, notifying me that I got a text message. I pulled out the device from the pocket and checking out my text box for any messages.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Baby love ❤:
Jungkook, I have decided to
stay over sometime in the
library to study. So you
have to go home, alone
today. I will be back soon.
                                                   
Me:
No, I am not going
alone, I will stay with                                      you. I am coming to the library. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

My feet changed the direction in which they were walking to go back in the building.

I climbed two floors to reach the library and pushed open the door only to find a couple of people studying in pin drop silence. I stepped in making sure that my shoes don't make a sound with the wooden floor because of the dead silence.

My eyes wandered to find Y/N, until I found a hand waving at me and then gesturing me to come over. I went to her table taking a seat beside her. "Why are you wasting your time here, you could have gone home?" She whispered slightly leaning towards my ear. "I have nothing better to do that home without you, so I decided to  stay." I whispered back in her ear, leaning in.

It was so difficult and torturous for me to have her presence and skin so close to me, but I still can't do anything. I am bounded by my lie, and it was costing me too much. Every time she come near me, and I had to either twist my fingers or ball my fists hiding them behind my back or inside pocket resisting my urge and wants to feel or kiss her.

"Don't worry, I will be done with this book in half an hour, then we can go home." She whispered again. "Yeah, it's ok. Take your time." I said breaking out of my thoughts.

She returned to reading her book again, being engrossed by its text and pictures while on the other side a had nothing to do. God knows how will I pass my time. I said it to myself, looking for something good in my bag to spend another half an hour, when the booklet give by Sungho caught my sight and his words replayed in my mind. 'I am giving you this in advance trust me you'll need it.' I took out the book from the bag thinking why would I need the rule book, as far as I know, I abide all the instructions well.

My car is parked in the valid space, I go to all my classes on time, I submit my projects before the deadline, my university fee is paid, I haven't bullied  any person nor have I misbehaved with any teacher, so why would I need this small binded peices of paper because from what I remember I haven't done anything unwarranted. What I said was true, he is the one who needs to read this book and get his head fixed. I was consumed by my thoughts when a familiar male voice spoke in between breaking the silence.

"Hey Y/N-shi, would you mind if I sit here?" Yejun, the fellow who was with  Sungho earlier came up to our table asking for a seat. "No, not at all." She replied, giving him a polite smile to which he acted by pulling out a chair in front of me. "You should read it Jungkook, it will help you and your friend in future." He whispered to me referring to the booklet in my hand. "Yeah even I heard that the board changed some rules and regulations, so now they are distributing copies of the new set of amendments among the students. But why will he need it?" Y/N whispered to us making us know that she is already aware of these new rules. "He may never know, when he will need it. He should read it before he faces some consequences." Yejun again says making me now suspicious of what are they planning. "By the way do you to know each other?" I asked. "Yeah he is in my literature class." Y/N answered me while he smirked at my question. I hummed in response. I don't find his intentions good.

Both of them occupied themselves in their thick books whereas I turned towards the rule booklet. I opened the white cover of the book flipping through the pages without caring to read the text. It seemed as a normal book with plain text and some pictures printed. I had almost examined all the pages of the book looking for something peculiar that can catch my attention, but nothing seemed to be unusual. I was about to close the book and go through it again when a note written in ink  at the last page caught my eye. It said:-  'If anything goes wrong during this few days or if someone is not buying what you say, then come to find me in class 213. We will negotiate the price over there.'

Why would I negotiate with him and for what? What can go wrong in these few days? Infact the students will be getting a break for a week once the others finish with their exams. There has to more clues in this book. I started to flip through pages of the booklet again but examining each of them carefully this time. The printed text on the pages were only the amendments brought in the existing rules. There were rules and respective punishments for wrong attire, bullying ,misbehaving, examination, etc. Neither of them seemed to match my situation nor there was any other written note. I know there has to be something in this book he wants me to focus on or else he won't have given me this book. So what could he possibly plan in these days?

I was immersed in my thoughts when I my phone started to vibrate in my pocket. I took it out, and checked the caller ID. It was Yoongi hyung, I went outside the library to talk. "Hello, hyung." I received the call and put he phone on my ear. "Hey Jungkook, how are you after that day's fight? I was held up in work so I couldn't call you earlier." He said bringing my birthday  incident up. "I don't know hyung, I feel ashamed what I said to Jin hyung. It wasn't his fault it was Jihee's. After leaving from there I realized how harsh I was to all, also I let my rage take over me and blabber whatever came to my mind. I wanted to apologize to all of you." I said in a low voice. "No, it is ok. You must have a rough time after you left and I kinda expected this kind of response from you. Jihee has given you wounds that are not easy to be healed. Also everyone was attacking you with words, you were the only one defending yourself that too with an injured body. So it is our fault that we went harsh on you." I stated understanding my condition. "Let it be, those are the past things, nothing can be undone now. Anyways, did you call for another purpose or it is just this?" I asked politely. "Yeah, about that Namjoon and I are bought a new house so if anything goes wrong or your truth......you know........so you are always welcome here. You don't need to worry, we'll have your back." "You don't need to worry about me hyung, I'll manage, I have always and as for the truth, I hope I get to stay with her as much as I can." I said smiling sad. "I wish that too. But how did you convince yourself that this lie is only temporary?" I interrogate me. "You know when I think of my future with her, I see nothing, absolutely nothing, while on the other side I want to have a serious relationship with her, marry her, have kids, grow old and die together. But my brain always prohibits me to imagine something forbidden like this. That's why I accepted the fact and now I keep telling myself that she is just an angel who has come on earth to make me forget about all my misery and insecurities and she has to return back to heaven someday so I have to be prepared. That is one of the reasons why I denied that I was in love with her in the beginning. But now I have realized that I am deeply in love with her and every love story has a sacrifice so this will be it. I am just trying to enjoy the time I have with her left with her before everything unfolds and I am the one who did this to me, so I should be the one face the consequences too. I will give up on her once every thing shatters." He sadly chuckled. "You've grown up, I don't think we need to tell you what do you. Just don't make the situation worse, that's all." "Yes, I'll try." I said and hung up the phone.

I huffed in relief immediately after I hung up. Thank god hyung believed that I have finally given up on her. Now they'll not force me or tell her the truth themselves. After that day I was very scared that Hoseok hyung will tell her that I am straight. Now that I have made Yoongi hyung believe that she is temporary in my life, none of them will order or threaten me what to do.
