My eyes widen in sudden realization and I turn my head away from Jungkook.

Did I just agree to telling him my past?

Is he only wondering about the 'Raehyun' part?

Or was that an excuse to get to know me?

Jungkook really did look worried so maybe what I'm thinking is overboard. Maybe he just wants to know to be friendly and helpful.

We reached the lunchroom and I headed to the farthest seats in the very back, away from any of the other kids and sat down. Jungkook followed my lead in silence, watching my movements very closely in a way that made it very creepy. I look back at him, giving a soft expression before putting my head down on the table and closing my eyes.

Jungkook on the other hand, was very confused.

*Jungkook's POV*

Umm... okay??

Is she gonna eat something, or just lay there? I was confused as to why Y/n wanted to avoid going to the nurse and instead, lie to me. There was so much about this girl that I didn't know, yet I still want to help her in any way I can.

Hyung said that Y/n is very interesting, and now I could see why he would say that. There was something in her eyes that I saw when we first met, and no girl had ever frowned when they're with me before. She was so different. Even in class I'd notice things about her that I hadn't paid attention to.

She reminds me of my sister. Same weakness.

I turned to Y/n who still had her head on the table with her eyes closed and sighed tiredly.

"I'll be back alright? I'm just going to get something for the both of us, okay?" I knew Y/n couldn't hear me, but I said it anyways, just in case her eyes were open and she could read my lips.

Standing up, I headed to the front area, were the food was served and scanned the menu for anything that would taste good. A part of my brain subtly wandered back to Y/n and her weak state. I then decided that taking care of her was the best thing that could help at the moment, and finding out who harassed her and why would be the best thing too.

I'd never seen something like that happen to such a beautiful girl before.

Wait. What did I just think??

I stopped mid-step, blinking in confusion at what I just said in my head.

Did I just call her pretty? Why did I—

*Your POV*

I lazily opened my eyes again to find that Jungkook was gone from his seat.

Was he getting food?

I half-expected Jungkook to comeback with two meals but I had already noted that Jungkook looked at me weirdly so he probably wouldn't. I still kept my head down while scanning the lunchroom for Jungkook and spotted him immediately.

He was frozen in his place, carrying a bag of food staring off to one side as if daydreaming, but then quickly broke out of the trance and continued towards my table.

I lifted my head up and gave a small smile as Jungkook approached with what I assumed was the lunch.

"I got something for you to eat too, since you're hurt," he signs before opening the bag and pulling out two sandwiches and two small water bottles.

His sudden act of kindness made it hard to resist a smile. I see him flash a grin before handing me a sandwich, making me smile back.

"Thanks. You really didn't have to." I say, making Jungkook chuckle a bit as he answers:

"No. I want to help you."

.....................

The school day was coming to an end and I had managed to avoid Jungkook's question until now. We were both gathering our stuff to to home and I was contemplating on what to say next.

He said he wanted to know what happened, but the problem was that I didn't know or understand why Raehyun was after me, so I couldn't explain everything to him. Not that I wanted to in the first place.

Jungkook looks at me expectantly, gripping his bag as he waits for me to explain myself.

"Lets.... go somewhere else to talk," I sign before gesturing to all the other students in the hallway. Jungkook just simply nods and pulls me past the other students, out the school doors and to a bench nearby. I caught a glimpse of a glint in his eyes that showed impatience and irritation, making him look slightly... aggressive at that moment.

Maybe delaying his question wasn't the best choice.

But then, why would he care about something as pathetic as this?

Raehyun was just a sick bitch who wanted satisfaction from tormenting people.

And that just happens to be me.

Jungkook lets go of my hand and plops down on the bench, looking at me with a much more softer expression. I sat down next to him and avoided eye-contact while cupping my hands together in slight shyness and embarrassment.

There was an awkward silence between us— well for me because I wasn't looking at Jungkook to see if he said anything.

I felt a tap land on my shoulder turned to face Jungkook again.

"Please tell me. You mind?" He asks. Jungkook's eyes showed— once again, the most genuine look of worry I've ever seen, and his lips formed a little pout that made me finally give in.

"It was Raehyun," I sign, fingerspelling his name as my expression grew sad while I recalled the event from earlier today.

Jungkook let out a gasp and drew his hand back in surprise.

He was getting shocked because out of all the people he thought could've hurt Y/n, it was the person who he least expected.

And he was agitated that the guy whom he thought he trusted,

Would go around hurting girls like how he did with Y/n.
