Jeon Jungkook, the punk who is only kind to me
The first time I met Jeon Jungkook was in my third year of middle school. At the time, Jungkook was handsome, but he was shorter and smaller than the other boys his age, so he was often teased. Fortunately, I was his deskmate and friend, so I helped him and took care of him. Then one day, the class heard from the teacher that Jeon Jungkook had suddenly transferred schools. The teacher didn't tell us why, so we all thought that he had used the transfer to run away because he couldn't stand the bullying.
When I got home from school, I cried all my tears in my room that day. I felt resentful and disappointed that he left without saying a word to me, his friend. No, to be honest, I was the one who had been hurt by Jeon Jungkook.I liked it.Although Jeon Jungkook was always teased by the kids, he was always kind to everyone.
Jeon Jungkook might think of me as a friend, but I liked him. Crying, I tried to send him a KakaoTalk message, but it said the user had already deleted their account and that the number didn't exist. I cried myself to sleep until dawn, exhausted. I prayed that Jungkook would appear in my dreams.
'...........'
"Okay kids, be quiet!! Starting today, I will be in charge of your senior year of high school."
It's already been a year since I forgot about Jungkook. To be honest, I haven't forgotten everything, I just have forgotten the memories little by little. I still don't know where Jeon Jungkook is, what he's doing, or how he's doing.
"Student behind you? You should be listening to the teacher. What are you doing blankly?"
"Oh... I'm sorry."
"Anyway, everyone, take care. High school seniors have to prepare for the college entrance exam, so don't play around and just study, okay?"
"yes..."
"And we have a new student transferring in on our first day. He transferred for personal reasons, so don't ask. I'll introduce him during first period today, so I'll introduce him then."
"yes!!"
Everyone answered vigorously. The teacher covered his ears and left the classroom. As soon as the teacher left, the kids formed a group and started talking noisily. No one sat next to me, so I was the only one who was quiet. There was nothing to do, so I tried to sleep on my desk, but a transfer student opened the back door loudly and came in, making me straighten my back and look.
"......"
"..to?"
I felt strange. It was a face I'd seen somewhere before. I tried to deny the reality, telling myself it couldn't be true. Unlike the innocent Jeongguk I knew, that person looked scary and sharp. He glanced around the classroom and strode in. His aura made everyone in my class quiet, and he walked over to the seat next to me and sat down. All the classmates' eyes were on me and him. I cried inside, thinking to myself that this school year was ruined.
"...Kim Yeo-ju?"
"Huh, huh? You called me??"
"......."
"..why?"
I looked at him up close and the name written on his name tag was definitely Jeon Jungkook. The Jeon Jungkook I know. Jeon Jungkook didn't say anything, but just looked me up and down with his eyes and snorted. Goosebumps ran down my arms. He didn't look like the gentle Jungkook I knew, but a scary student. It was scary.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
"..No, sorry."
In the past, I told you that I didn't like students who wore hair dye and dazzling earrings to school, but now you're the student I used to hate. In an instant, the class atmosphere turned into an ice rink. Jeon Jungkook was used to this situation, lying face down on his desk, playing with his phone. As luck would have it, the seat next to me was empty... Ha
"Don't dwell on the past."
"..Huh? Are you talking to me?"
"Think about it yourself."
"Oh, okay. Thank you."
What the hell is this? Something went wrong in my head. If I interpret that again, it means that Jeon Jungkook also knows me. Jeon Jungkook is the type of person who would read emotional words out of the blue and say them out loud. It's not like he's the type of person who reads emotional words in the first place...
The bell rang for class and the students in the class sat down in their seats. Especially the students around Jeon Jungkook sat down nervously.
"There's a transfer student, and you guys don't want to go to Jindo on the first day, right? At least spend the first period quietly hanging out with your friends."
The classmates thanked the teacher and took turns whispering to each other as they swapped seats. Of course, I, who had no friends, just sat there blankly, and Jeon Jungkook was the same. However, unlike me who looked bored, Jeon Jungkook didn't show any expression. I thought about taking this opportunity to talk to Jeon Jungkook.
"Hey, Jungkook..."
"?"
He didn't answer when I called him, but simply turned his head to look at me. When on earth had he grown so much? He used to be about the same size as me, but now he seemed twice or three times my size. His face had become even prettier. From now on, I was determined to pretend not to notice him.
"Why are you calling?"
"Which school did you transfer from?"
"In the countryside."
"The countryside? What was it like there? The countryside I know is incredibly quiet."
"Well, I don't know either."
"..Hmm, I see."
I didn't ask any more questions because of the lukewarm answer. I also didn't ask Jungkook anything after that and just lay down on the desk. Everyone was talking noisily, but Jungkook and I were quiet. I quietly sighed to myself about what was to come.
Will I be able to get along well with Jungkook?
*Finally, the clumsy one starts to struggle.*
