"Jeon!"
Jungkook was startled from his peaceful slumber. He looks around the room and he remembers he's still in class. His eyes met the glaring ones of his Math teacher, Mrs. Choi.
"You don't take your studies seriously Jeon Jungkook. When will you learn?" Mrs. Choi shouts at him.
Jungkook shrugs and yawns even loudly and that made the teacher more pissed.
"Jeon, stay after class." She said sternly then focuses back to class. His classmates also faced the front and listen to their teacher again.
Jungkook never slept again but that doesn't mean he would listen to the teacher's discussion. He pulls out his phone from his pocket to check the time, but he was greeted with a selca of him and Yugyeom as his phone wallpaper.
Jungkook gripped the phone tightly as he remembers what happened at the bleachers. He feels his heart break once again and he grits his teeth. He needs Yugyeom. He needs to take him back.
Jungkook thought of ways to get his boyfriend back but he feels sleepy when thinking alone, he doesn't want to get scolded again so he decided to ask his two friends Jimin and Hoseok at lunch.
The bell rang suddenly, signaling everyone that it's lunch time already. Quickly, Jungkook gets his bag and slung it to his shoulder and dashes toward the door, he can't wait to talk with his friends, but the teacher called out.
"Mr. Jeon, I believe we have something to talk about."
Jungkook halted then rubs his hand at the back of his neck. "I forgot ma'am. Sorry." He said sheepishly as he walks over to the teacher's table.
"You've been worse, Jungkook." Mrs. Choi says. "Your grades are failing. What have you been doing?"
Jungkook wants to roll his eyes but he held back. "Math is difficult ma'am. You have to understand every student's struggle."
"No. I don't understand at all. Almost everyone in this class has good performance and I believe I taught you all with the easiest way possible. But you're the one who doesn't pay attention and doesn't even give any interest. The last quiz, you're lucky you got one point out of ten." Mrs. Choi said glaring at him.
"Just reminding you that you can't graduate if you can't pass this Jungkook. Everyone's working hard you know, you can't just always depend in your boyfriend who's father is the principal. You need to learn for yourself."
Jungkook scoffs at his teacher's words. He can't believe that the news of him and Yugyeom's break up haven't reached their Math teacher. It has spread like wild fire after the incident at the field.
"If you keep doing this, I believe I would have to convince the principal to not include you to the next football match."
Jungkook's eyes widen. He cannot believe his teacher would go to this extent just to prove her point. He can't accept it if this is going to happen. The next game is very important since they'll compete with their longtime rival, they lost last year and Jungkook is not going to accept it if they lose again this year.
"You can't do that!" Jungkook nearly shouts at the teacher. But he held back because he doesn't want to appear disrespectful.
"Try me." Mrs. Choi mocks him.
"Tell me ma'am, what should I do?" Jungkook pleads. He'll do anything for this game.
"Well I've already thought about something. But I don't think you would want to agree Jungkook."
"What is it ma'am?"
"I was thinking that you should go get a tutor from one of your classmates."
"What? Hell no!" Jungkook was surprised at his teacher's plan. He, a grown up guy would need a tutor? Definitely no.
"Then I should go now to the principal's office Mr. Jeon." Mrs. Choi said standing up.
"Wait ma'am. Let's talk about this." The teacher stops and went back to her seat. Her eyebrows raised as if ready to listen to what Jungkook would say.
"I don't know who should I make my tutor." He said softly.
"You have your boyfriend Jungkook. You can ask Yugyeom since he's also a good student. I'm sure he'll agree to it since its you."
"But ma'am, we're not together anymore. I can't make him my tutor." Jungkook mumbled out, suddenly becoming sad about his situation.
"You mean you broke up?" The teacher asked mildly surprised.
Jungkook nodded slowly.
"Well, you can ask your other classmates. Or if you want, I'll pick one and talk to them for you. I know someone who can really help you."
Jungkook looks back at his teacher and raised an eyebrow.
"I can talk to Kim Taehyung about it. He's a brilliant kid. I think he'll agree." Mrs. Choi eyed the back of the classroom and pointed at the said boy who's eating his small lunch quietly while staring outside the window.
"What?! That geek?! No way!" Jungkook half shouts.
"I've also been noticing how you talk in front of your teacher Mr. Jeon. Do you want me to just go talk to the principal now?" The teacher threatened, she looked very pissed now.
"S-sorry ma'am. But is there any other way?"
"There's no other way. Those two are the only students I could recommend since they are the top students. But since you're having a conflict with Yugyeom, so you should be with Taehyung." The teacher said with a tone of finality.
"Can't you at least give me time to think about it?" Jungkook asks one more time.
Mrs. Choi sighs and slowly nodded. "Okay I'll give you time. Ask him as soon as possible. Exams are nearing. Now go, I need to eat my lunch."
Jungkook bows and mumbles a soft 'thanks ma'am', before running out to the cafeteria. He quickly scans the area and spotted the two familiar figures of his friends eating their burgers.
He quickly approached the table and plopped down on a chair, then he suddenly grabs the small piece of burger from Jimin's hand and pops it to his mouth. Jimin slowly registers where his burger went, with his mouth still hanging open awaiting for the food that will never come.
"What the-YAH YOU PABO!" Jimin smacks Jungkook's head with his hand. "That was my food!"
"Calm down Chim, it was just a tiny piece." The younger says while rubbing the area of his head where he was smacked.
Hoseok just chuckled at the two. "What took you so long?"
Jungkook sighs. "Mrs. Choi and I had a talk. She told me I was failing Math and she threatened to talk to the principal to exclude me on the next football match if I don't improve."
"Sucks for you" Jimin said after finishing his lemonade.
"That's not yet the worst. He wants me to get a fucking tutor!"
"Well, I think you really need it. We can't help you with that though. We ourselves are struggling in Math also." Hoseok said with a voice of sympathy.
"Turns out you're worse than us." Jimin snickered, what a great friend.
"She said Kim Taehyung should be my tutor." Jungkook dreadfully said.
The two stopped and looked at him. Then they burst out laughing.
"What's funny?"
"It's funny how you'll be seeking help from the guy you always make fun of." Jimin snickered.
"I bet that geek would like the idea, since he's always trying hard to make friends with everyone. What more with the Jeon Jungkook?" Hoseok added.
"Didn't you hear what I said? I said tutor not friend. I don't plan on befriending him at all. We're not on the same level." Jungkook glares at the two.
Suddenly, they heard loud laughter at the other side of the cafeteria. At a long table, there were seven guys happily chattering and one of them is Jungkook's ex boyfriend. Yugyeom already joined their group and is now sitting there with Jackson at his side.
Jungkook sees Yugyeom's smile and he felt hurt that he isn't the reason behind those smiles anymore. To tell you the truth, the break up has quite taken a toll on him, it's mainly the reason that he couldn't focus on his studies anymore and is failing some of his subjects. Then he remembers the real reason why he was hurrying up a while ago.
He heavily sighs and turned back to his friends and he was surprised to be greeted with a sad look from both males.
"Quit it. I'm not giving him up that easily. We need to think of something." Jungkook said with determination.
"What will you do? Let him drink love potion?" Jimin answered him.
"Kook, just let him go. You can see that he's happy with Jackson now. Just move on." Hoseok added.
"Easy for you to say." He mumbled quietly and stared at the laughing couple again. He caught Jackson's eyes and he saw a tiny smirk plastered on the said male's face.
"I don't accept defeat that easily."
