Jimin’s Pov:

He paused and took in some juice.

“Oh, that?” He asked and continued eating, but I wasn’t.
I was just staring at him, hopefully waiting for an answer.

“Well, I have no idea. Nobody does – maybe except The Bangtan Boys” he replied and I sighed disappointed.
“But it all started four years ago” he added.

“Namjoon was the leader of the band back then and him and Jungkook were best of friends. They seemed inseparable.

“Normally, Namjoon was a nice quiet guy, while Jungkook was the flirty type. Taehyung,
Seokjin and Hoseok were just like Jungkook – always having fun.

“But unexplainably, Namjoon disappeared; like he just disappeared and nobody has heard from him since then.
So, Jungkook took over as the band leader, but things were never the same again…”
“Like the deaths of his boyfriends?” I interpolated and he shrugged.

“Well... yeah. The death of his lovers. It’s also kind of complicated. Since Namjoon left, Jungkook has fallen in love with two boys and they both ended up dead”.

“So what do you think?” I asked.
“Do you think it’s just a coincidence?”

“Well, I don’t know about that. Like I said, it’s complicated. Maybe its a coincidence, maybe it’s not. But one things for sure; something really big definitely happened between Namjoon and Jungkook – something really big”.

A brief silence stepped in for a while.

“I heard they’re only female workers in The Bangtan Boys mansion” I broke the silence.

“Oh, yes. Jungkook’s idea” he replied. “He’s been trying to avoid contact with any boy in every way, so as not to fall in love again. You know his dad is late and his mum and little sis actually live in the mansion because of the kid.
She’s a very very busy woman and travels out of the country a lot. So, as a result, she stays in the mansion so whenever she was away, The Bangtan Boys could help in looking after Lisa.
But The Bangtan Boys are usually very busy and many times, Lisa has gone missing.”

“Huh? Why doesn’t she just get a nanny or something?” I asked, muddled.

“Hello? Have you forgotten I said no boys in the mansion? Jungkook’s mum has hired about eight young men – if I’m not mistaken – but they all lost their jobs within 24 hours”.

I gasped.

“You mean Jungkook sends them away?” I asked.

“Nope. Not Jungkook, but Lisa. She always cooks up one complain or the other or ill treat and scare the nannies away and in the end, they end up running away. But, it’s rumoured Jungkook’s the one behind it. I heard he’s actually the one making her send the boys away and that’s because he doesn’t want any one around him. Only the cook is a male. But of course, he's almost old”

“But why’s he suddenly abstaining from boys? I mean he’s also in a boys group too” I asked.

“Well, as I said, maybe he’s scared to fall love again. I mean, after what happened to the two people he loved. And he's not abstaining from his group members because they are boys..but because he wanna be introverted.Anyway, I don’t know; I have no idea”.
I nodded and looked down at my food.

“So, who’s your favourite among The Bangtan Boys?” I asked and he blushed.

“Huh? Of course it’s Jungkook. Who else could it be?” He replied happily.

“But…If you were to chose between Namjoon and Jungkook, whom would you chose?” I asked and he looked stuck a bit.

“Well…I don’t know. Namjoon’s also very lovely and comparable to Jungkook. But, I think I'd still chose Jungkook” he replied and I smiled.

“What about The Lover Boys? Are they also in my grade?” I asked and Yoongi crinkled up his face.

“Who? Those spoilt arrogant brats?” He asked and I pulled a surprised face.

“Huh? Why are you saying that about them? I love them” I said defensively and he scoffed.

“Trust me, boy. It’s because you haven’t gotten to meet them.
They’re vipers, especially their leader – Kan. He’s a wolf. You really need to be careful with them”.

I scoffed and shook my head. Is he serious or something?
Kan is my role model.
How can he tell me to be careful around him?

Yoongi and I went on talking for sometime and I kind of enjoyed his company. He was a fun person.

After lunch, he followed me to class. But since we were in different grades, we couldn’t stay together and he left afterwards.

To be sincere, I didn’t entirely enjoy my first day in Alpha High because I didn’t get to meet any of my superstars – aside Jungkook who had just acted blinded towards me.

After some hours, the school was over and everybody headed home.

When I got home, luckily, dad was still around. And so, his wife and kids didn’t have an opportunity to bully me.

Too bad he’ll be leaving tomorrow.

I had dinner with him and explained briefly about my first day in Alpha High. Although I didn’t tell him about the Jungle part.

We spent a long time together and after a while, I went up to my room for a bath and a rest.
Well, like I said, I only get to enjoy these privileges when dad was around.

The moment he leaves again by tomorrow, my life’s gonna turn into a living hell.

I brought out my diary and wrote about my little experience with Jungkook.

It was very brief, but meant a lot to me. I kept smiling the whole time.

I remembered his sweet words to me:
“Do you realize this is a restricted area?”

Hold on; did I just say sweet?
Well, at that moment, they were scary. But right now, they’re sweet.

Oh, Jungkook!

I could recall how cute he looked when he turned around to pick up the keys – those dazzling eyes of his; the nose; the sweet pink lips and the hair.

I wish I could be hold that face again. Even if it was just for a second.
‘I really like you, Jungkook’ I wrote in my diary.
‘And I wish I could take away the sadness you feel.
Too bad you now dislike men’.
I closed the diary and laid upwards, rethinking the whole thing.

I really wish I can get to see Jungkook again.
Well, tomorrow was Tuesday, right? And we had further maths. Mr Wang’s definitely going to force him to come to class.

Oh, God!

I really can’t wait.
I wish I get to sit next to him.

Next Morning

🕒🕒🕒🕒🕒🕒🕒

I woke up the next morning, feeling kind of excited.
I had breakfast and dressed up and after that, dad dropped me off at school.
“See you later, Jimin” he told me as he stopped in front of the school and awaited me to step down. I was sitting down at the front seat with him.

“Dad” I called sadly.

“When will you be travelling?”

“Oh; in less than two hours” he replied and my eyes drooped.
“Uhm…how long will it take before you return?”

“Uhm…I don’t know; maybe some weeks”.

My heart ached when he told me about it. I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like living with those family of his.

“Don’t worry, Jimin. Everything will be fine, okay?” He said give me a high five. I smiled and left the car.

Hmm.

Back again in Alpha High. I hope today won’t be as boring as yesterday.

I started walking into the building, admiring all the students I came across. Too bad none of them paid attention to me.

I got to the classroom and took a seat at the back close to the window.

More students kept trooping in and I looked curiously for The Bangtan Boys.

Oh; maths was the last subject before break.

Oh-oh.

That means The Bangtan Boys might not be coming now.

Too bad.

After a short while, the first teacher came in and took us on science.

I just jolted perfunctorily as that wasn’t what I was waiting for.
Then, after 45 minutes, the next teacher came in and took us on social norms. And finally, it was time for maths!

Hah!

I can hardly wait!

The maths teacher came in and commenced teaching and I was kind of puzzled because The Bangtan Boys were yet to come.

Huh?

I itched my head and couldn’t pay attention to the lesson because my mind was occupied.

Where are The Bangtan Boys? I thought they never fail to miss Mr Wang’s class?

I became brood and totally lost focus in the class. I had really planed on seeing them.

“Can anyone help with the equation on the board?” Mr Wang’s voice broke into my thoughts and I took a look at the board.

It was a familiar equation.
“Yes? Anyone? Jimin? The new student?” He called and I felt surprised he had actually called my name.

Some of the students turned and looked at me and I became nervous.

“Jimin, can you help us out?” He asked again and I stuttered and stood on my feet.

“Uhm…okay sir” I replied as I walked up to the front of the class and took the marker from him.

Then, I faced the board and started solving the equation.

like I said, it was a familiar equation. But since it was further maths, it had to be lengthy.
I was still focused on the board, solving the equation when I suddenly heard the students gasping and jittering.

I turned to see what was going on and…Oh, my God!

The Bangtan Boys!!!

They’re here!

They came!

Oh, my God!

They really did come!

Am I dreaming?!!
