I met my first love again
♥︎
I think it was from then on. The reason Jeon Jungkook's gaze always landed on Kim Yeo-ju. Not only did Jeon Jungkook's eyes always follow Kim Yeo-ju, but his body was also turned towards her. If Kim Yeo-ju dropped something? Jeon Jungkook was always the one to pick it up. If Kim Yeo-ju was looking for something? Jeon Jungkook was also the one to bring it to her. Jeon Jungkook was... like a large dog with a big body but a tail that wags gently.
“Hey, Jeon Jungkook.”
"what."
“Do you know what’s bothering you?”
“What am I.”
What was this situation? Kim Yeo-joo, who sat in her seat, studying without moving her butt, was sitting next to Jeon Jung-kook, resting her chin on her hand and staring intently at her. Jeon Jung-kook seemed to be hiding his interest in Kim Yeo-joo, but in fact, it wasn't like that at all. It must have been so obvious that Kim Yeo-joo, who had been scribbling away at a math problem without paying attention, put down her mechanical pencil. Kim Yeo-joo sighed deeply and frowned as she looked at Jeon Jung-kook.
"It's not even your seat, so why are you sitting there staring at me? You can't concentrate at all while studying."
“Did I bother you?”
“Oh, that’s too much. Please go back to your seat.”
Kim Yeo-ju tried to shoo Jeon Jung-kook away, motioning for him to return to his seat, as if he were just annoyed. But Jeon Jung-kook was never one to back down. He called over the girl sitting next to Kim Yeo-ju and, with a friendly smile, asked her to swap seats with him. The girl, finding Jeon Jung-kook's smile threatening, immediately accepted.
Kim Yeo-ju, who had been observing all of Jeon Jung-kook's actions, seemed to quickly realize that Jeon Jung-kook would stick by her side no matter what she did. After letting out a deep sigh from her dantian, Kim Yeo-ju turned her gaze back to her math workbook and picked up her mechanical pencil. Well, Jeon Jung-kook liked Kim Yeo-ju like that and was flustered. It had been quiet for about three minutes. Jeon Jung-kook reached out and tapped Kim Yeo-ju's shoulder. Kim Yeo-ju ignored his touch a few times, but then put the mechanical pencil down with a clank at the slightly irritating touch.
“Oh, come on! Can’t you see I’m studying? I’m not even bothering you intellectually… Don’t bother me.”
“Kim Yeo-ju, can I ask you one thing?”
“Ha… If I answer your question, you won’t touch me anymore?”
“I won’t bother you anymore today.”
“…What is it?”
Kim Yeo-ju was completely taken in by Jeon Jung-guk's promise not to bother her anymore today. Kim Yeo-ju shook her head without even looking at Jeon Jung-guk, wondering what was going on. Perhaps liking her, Jeon Jung-guk chuckled and opened his mouth.
“What is your ideal type?”
“Are you asking about my ideal type?”
"huh."
“Um… I haven’t really thought about it….”
Kim Yeo-ju was a little nervous, expecting Jeon Jung-kook to ask something so grand. But then, dumbfounded by his question about her ideal type, she asked again. From Kim Yeo-ju's perspective, Jeon Jung-kook's question felt a bit too bland. Still, she had to answer, so she began to think carefully. Kim Yeo-ju, who had been so obsessed with her studies, had no idea she had an ideal type, and surprisingly, she had never even thought about it.
After a minute of pondering her ideal type, Kim Yeo-ju, who had been completely unable to think of anything, turned her head and glanced at Jeon Jung-kook. Then, she made a sound that sounded like she was pondering something, then slowly began to answer.
“A diligent person who never drinks, never fights, wears his uniform properly, and studies hard.”
“… You’re the complete opposite of me?”
"It just happened that way. What a shame~"
Kim Yeo-ju snickered and revealed that her ideal type was someone who was the complete opposite of Jeon Jung-kook, and as Kim Yeo-ju added more conditions for her ideal type, Jeon Jung-kook's expression gradually distorted. Kim Yeo-ju's expression when she said it was regretful at the end was not the slightest bit regretful, and Jeon Jung-kook ran his hand through the back of his hair, messing it up, as if he was annoyed by Kim Yeo-ju's ideal type who was the complete opposite of himself. Kim Yeo-ju was concentrating on her math problem, paying no attention to what Jeon Jung-kook was doing next to her.
The next day, Kim Yeo-ju, still the top student at school, arrived at 7 a.m. and, seemingly unfazed by the clock, was scribbling away in her book. As the time for school drew near, the homeroom teacher entered the classroom to check on any latecomers. As the morning assembly bell rang, signaling tardiness, the back door creaked open.
“Jeon Jungkook? Why are you coming to school at this hour? You’re even wearing your uniform properly?”
“Someone said that my ideal type was someone who wore their school uniform properly and was honest.”
"I want to give that guy a prize, you little brat. No matter how many times I, your homeroom teacher, have told you, you haven't even pretended to listen once..."
“Teacher, today is the first period~ Please take out the textbooks early.”
"You're attending school? You're the kind of guy who always sleeps around?"
“I’m going to try it starting today. Someone said my ideal type is someone who studies hard.”
“Haha… First period is chemistry, so prepare your textbooks well and listen carefully in class~ If anything comes up, come to the teacher’s office. That’s all!”
Jeon Jungkook arrived on time, not even late, and looking completely different from the day before. He was wearing a school uniform so rare that it seemed like he'd thrown it away, and he was preparing for first period the moment he arrived, making even his homeroom teacher think he'd gone crazy. The startled teacher just laughed it off and left through the front door. As soon as he left, the classmates were also surprised by Jeon Jungkook's transformation, telling their friends. And so, news of Jeon Jungkook spread throughout the school in an instant.
Not only among students, but even in the principal's office and among teachers, Jeon Jungkook's 180-degree transformation was discussed numerous times. People started to wonder if Jeon Jungkook had finally gone mad, and even who had changed him like this. During every break, students and teachers alike, without exception, would crowd around the classroom windows to observe Jeon Jungkook. As a result, rumors spread that Kim Yeo-ju had transformed the legendary Jeon Jungkook.
“Kim Yeo-ju, I wore my uniform properly today, wasn’t late, and didn’t sleep in class.”
“That’s only natural.”
"good job?"
“Well… you did well. Keep doing that in the future.”
“Then you praise me every day. I will continue to do so.”
Jeon Jungkook let out a small laugh at Kim Yeoju's single word, "Well done." Of course, Kim Yeoju simply praised him because he did a good job, without any real intention. Kim Yeoju was surprised by Jeon Jungkook's reaction, which was surprisingly more enthusiastic than expected. Kim Yeoju stared blankly at Jeon Jungkook for a moment before nodding her head when Jeon Jungkook immediately asked her to praise him every day. Jeon Jungkook was overcome with excitement, while Kim Yeoju simply blinked.

It's only been a month, so some people might remember me and some might be waiting for me, but I'm going to upload something I wrote after a long time!
