Ignore my mistakes plz....

Namjoon Pov

In the steady drizzle, a group of black umbrellas huddle around a fresh grave. Hugging his son’s coffin, crying inconsolably, is Joy’s father....The Priest prayed for our presious friend Joy, while Me and Yoongi stood behind, holding one umbrella feeling broke....I saw Jeongguk who was standing in front of and a little far from Virus, without the umbrella.

The tears mixing up with rain, hiding our tears with the rain of drops... Jeongguk took a glance at Virus and then at Joy's coffin, His eyes suddenly fierce...he wipes his tears and made his way towards Virus " Good news, Sir The police and Joy’s father have no clue. Everyone thinks this is suicide" He said staring at Joy's father.

Virus frowns, also looking at Joy's father, waiting for Jeongguk to continue " The post mortem report – Cause of Death,Intense pressure on windpipe resulting in
choking " Jeongguk chuckled dryly, making Virus more confused " All think the pressure on the jugular killed him " he said caressing his neck, and then tabbing on his head "  What about the mental pressure for the last four years? That’s missing in the report " He said little aggressive.

Virus looked at him in surprise and disbelief, Me and Yoongi listened to him talking with him " Engineers are a clever bunch. They will never make a machine to measure mental pressure " He said and looked at Virus " If they had, all would know ... this isn’t suicide ..... it’s murder, Sir" He said, bitting his lip.

Virus turn in anger....on the other hand Joy coffin lowered into grave.

Next Day
In Virus's Office

Virus was sitting in his armchair, looking at Jeongguk with anger, while Jeongguk standing in front of him,  bitting his lips, feeling uncomfortable " How dare you balm me for Joy's dead " He said pointing at himself, in raised voice " If one student can’t handle pressure, is it our fault? Life is full of pressures. Will you always blame others for pressure in life?" He asked angrily to Jeongguk.

Jeongguk looked at him, one hand holding his bag's strip " I don't balm you sir....I balm the system " He took out a page from his pants packet in hurry " Look at this sit...Korea is No.1 in suicide....Every 90 minutes, a student attempts suicide. Suicide is a bigger killer than disease. Something’s terribly wrong....sir" He said looking at Virus.

Virus glare at him " I can’t speak for the rest but this is one of
the fi nest colleges in the country. I’ve run this place for 32 years. We were was ranked 28th. Now we’re No. 1 " Virus said aggressively and looked away.... Jeongguk said " What the point sir?" Jeongguk said, he was angry but he didn't showed it on his face.

" Here they don’t discuss new ideas or inventions" Virus looked at him in disbelief " They discuss grades, jobs, settling in USA. They teach how to get good scores. They don’t teach engineering " Virus stood up from his armchair in range " Now you will teach me how to teach?!" He shouted at Jeongguk, but it didn't effect Jeongguk...not even a little.

Jeongguk shook his head " No Sir, I-" Before Jeongguk could say something, Virus grabbed his arm and start dragging him out of his office.... Jeongguk stunned unable to do something....he glance back at the fallen papers from his hand.

Teacher and students in the Corridor looked at both Virus and Jeongguk stunned as Virus dragged him...and Jeongguk sighing... caressing his nape....Virus hurls Jeongguk towards the table in the classroom....making everyone confused and some shocked " Sit down " Virus said to the professor.

Me and Yoongi glance at each other, worried " Here is a self-proclaimed professor who thinks he is better than our highly qualified teacher. Professor Jeon Jeongguk will teach us engineering " Virus said addressing Jeongguk...Leaving Jeongguk head of the class...Virus joins the seated students staring at him.

Jeongguk looked around loss of words...Suho smiled broadly, enjoying the drama....me and Yoongi looked at Jeongguk anxiously...." We don't have all day !" He shouted.... seriously his voice always broke my ear ( you know , if you don't....you're not real army....not judging tho🙂💔).

Jeongguk collects himself. He takes off his sling bag.... places it on the table and picks up a book lying there. He leafs through the book and then, referring to it, He sighed And turn toward the board and write on it.

PRENAMJOONLISATION

YOONGITRATE

"You have 30 seconds to define the tearms, written " Suho when heard that quickly set the timer on his watch " You may refer to your books. Raise your hand if you get the answer" Virus looked at him, with popped eyes " Let’s see who comes first, who comes last. Your time starts ... now " Jeongguk said looking at the clock.

When Jeongguk finished his words, There’s a flurry of activity in the classroom. The students search through their textbooks
frantically. Suho charges to the teacher’s table and grabs the book Jeongguk had referred to...while Jeongguk hold his laugh.

Virus looked around the students and finally , his competitive spirit awoken, snatches a book, and then another, from the student next to him. He goes through both books simultaneously: ambidextrous. The whole class works through text books manically.

Me and Yoongi also looked at the book with train speed, yeah train....The girl next to Suho tried to see in the book, but Suho being Suho he hid it from her... Jeongguk looked at the clock again " Times up " he said....the students looked up at him....Virus continued flipping the pages " Times up sir " Jungkook said to Virus.

Virus looked at him, with his slightly opened mouth " No one got the answer? " Suho rolled his eyes, "Now rewind your life by a minute. When I asked this question, were you excited? Curious? Thrilled that you’d learn something new? Anyone? ... Sir?"  Virus didn't answer him and just stare at him

"No. You all got into a frantic race. What’s the use of such methods, even if you come first. Will your knowledge increase? No, just the pressure. This is a college, not a pressure cooker " I chuckled, Yoongi glance at me and then back at Jeongguk " Even a circus lion learns to sit on a chair
in fear of the whip. But you call such a lion ‘well trained’, not ‘well educated’".

Jeongguk said, I was impressed but Virus was not " Hello! This is not a philosophy class. Just explain those two words " Virus shouted, Jeongguk looked at him " Sir these words don't exist " Virus looked at him incredulous " these are my friends names...Yoongi and Namjoon " Jeongguk said and made his way towards the board.

He underlined two ' NAMJOON ' in ' PRENAMJOONLISATION' and ' YOONGI ' in ' YOONGITRATE '

PRENAMJOONLISATION'

YOONGITRATE

Jeongguk turn around and give a cocky smile Along with us, the students broke into laughter, if course except Virus and Suho " Quiet! Nonsense! Is this how you’ll teach
engineering?!" Guess who shouted, of course Virus " I'm not teaching you engineering sir, you're expert in that " Virus looked at him , with any none expressions.

" I was teaching you how to teach sir " He said with a smile " And I’m sure one day you’ll learn because
unlike you, I never abandon my weak students " Jeongguk chuckled and Before the Director’s wrath can spill over, Jeongguk grabbed his bag from the table and makes a run for the exit.

" Bye Sir!" The students cracked into laughter, in helpless range " Quite ! Quite I said " Virus shouted, while dead cells came out of his voice when he shouted...the students immediately stopped laughing, scared of their principle.

Virus sit in  his desk and writes two
letters simultaneously:

" Ambidextrous, I regret to inform you that your son Namjoon/ Yoongi,have fallen into bad company. Without urgent corrective steps, his future will be ruined "

Virus’s letters dropped on our homes like atom bombs. In both of the houses plunged into gloom. Our parents invited us for a dressing down.

My house

My father opened the door, He literally dragged Jeongguk into the room by his wrist while Jeongguk looking down, unable to do anything "We could afford just
one air-conditioner We put it in Namjoon'sroom, so he could study in comfort. I didn’t
buy a car. I managed with a scooter. We put all our money into Namjoon  education. We sacrificed our comforts for Namjoon's use.... Understand? " While my father was busy giving his speech Jeongguk looked around the room.

The far wall in the room was filled with wildlife photography, the pictures were stunning.Hunters and prey, newborn cubs,
unrehearsed moments of nature.Father drones on, but Jeongguk is no longer lisening " And after that when I get such a letter
from the Principal, can you imagine how I must have felt?" Father shouted while me and Yoongi looked at them.

Me leaning against the door, And Yoongi behind father....Being made his way towards the wall " you took these pictures , Namjoon Hyung? " Even as I tried to shush him " He was obsessed with photography for
a while. Went around taking pictures of animals. Wanted to be a wildlife
photographer. Son, what was your score that year? Tell " my father answered Jeongguk and asked me, I. Raised voice.

" 91% " I said meekly , my father turn toward Jeongguk again " heard that , straight drop from 94% to 91%"  Jeongguk  stifles a spontaneous giggle, me And Yoongi tried to stop him  But the damage is done " you find it funny?" I father asked him " No Sir, sorry. I’m just amazed at the
photos. Why make him an engineer ...? Why not a wildlife photographer? " Jeongguk said while giving a little chuck time to time.

Father interrupts Jeongguk and
speaks with barely contained fury " Enough! I humbly request you .... don’t ruin my son’s future " Unaware of the tension within the group,
My Mother comes up to us smiling warmly " Food's on the table boys " she said softly unlike my father who was burning in range and was about to kill Jeongguk.

" Come on...let's eat " I said, wanted to change the uncomfortable environment " As the visibly relieved boys start moving towards the dining area, my father steps in front of Jeongguk's and places a
restraining hand on his shoulder " if you ever visit again, do eat with us " He said....great.

Dad denied us a meal ... So, to fill our bellies with food ... and ears with more reprimands, we reached Yoongi's house.....

Yoongi's house was straight out of a ’50s black and white film. A small, dingy room, a paralysed father, a coughing mother and an unwed sister. A sofa sprouting springs and a 24-hour water supply from the leaking roof. His mother was a retired school teacher and a tireless complainer. His father was once a postmaster. Paralysis shut down his body partly – and his salary completely.

We sat on the floor with plates,
waiting to be served their meal.... Yoongi's sister served us " You know the marking is increasing day by day, and eggs are $1.38....if you don't study And earn....how is all gonna happen?" Yoongi's sister start serving us food.

Me and Jungkook exchange looks " It’s daylight robbery! What will we eat if
we get warnings from your college?"She said to him, in a raised yet soft voice " Mom!" Yoongi whined embarrassed "  Yoongi's sister served to Jeongguk " Meat ?" Jeongguk nodded  his head with a smile.

" Meat  should be sold at the jewellers, in velvet pouches " me and Jeongguk stifden with discomfort " Mom please " Yoongi said was glancing at us and then at his mom " Okay I will shut up " she said and looked down " Earn for the family, slave like a maid and then take the vow of silence....if not with my son, with whom do I share my
who....his friends? "

Me and Jeongguk, about to take t
Our first bites, stop looking at them, thinking if we should continue or not .....Yoongi fed up of the whining, pushes away his plate and walks out in a huff " hey Yoongi " I called him in a little voice... Yoongi's mother start crying.

Me and Jeongguk look nonplussed, food morsels still in their raised hands, inches away from our mouths....We were in a huge dilemma. Do we comfort our friend or console his mom? Screw it, we thought, let’s focus on the Meat.

We put the food into their mouths and start chewing....Suddenly my father started

whining. So, my mother took her rolling pin and scratched Yoongi's father's hairy chest. Some of his hair got stuck on the rolling pin and my mom continued rolling the tortillas with that unhygienic rolling pin....we stopped chewing...out mouth agape with shocked....I starts retching.

" Want more?" She asked us.... Jeongguk and me immediately denied hurriedly and emphatically " no no...we thought " We both said at the same time.
