Jeon Jungkook, the punk who is only kind to me
*Please note that there may be profanity in this article, so please read with caution. Thank you :)
It's already been nearly three months since Jeon Jungkook transferred into our class. During those three months, two things have changed in our class. First, several classmates have become couples or friends who are flirting with each other. And the most crucial change is Jeon Jungkook. While he hadn't missed class for any reason the week he transferred, he's now routinely skipping classes and leaving early without permission. And another thing...
"Kim Yeo-ju oppa is here."
"Oh, what are you talking about? Hurry up and sit down. Class will start soon!"
"Yeah, I will. Didn't you miss me?"
"I don't want to see you!"
It means that Jeon Jungkook and I have become close.
Jungkook tossed his messenger bag roughly onto the seat in front of me, which had been assigned to him last month, and sat down. I was hoping he'd sit down properly this time, but he immediately turned around, looked at me, and slumped forward. On my desk, of course. I sighed again and spoke first. I knew he wouldn't say anything if I didn't speak first, so I did.
"...What is it? Why are you doing this again?"
"Do you enjoy studying? You work really hard."
"Jungkook... Of course you have to work hard now. We're taking the CSAT soon..."
"Is it me studying?"
"yes???"
Ding ding ding ding-The bell rang, signaling the start of class, just in time. I smiled slightly and nudged Jungkook's arm, telling him to look ahead. But Jungkook just snorted, got up, walked over to sit next to me, and sat down. Then I remembered the teacher saying my deskmate hadn't been coming to school for a while.
'It's fucked up..'
"Huh? So studying is more important than me?"
Yes, of course...I wanted to say that butBecause I didn't have the confidence to take responsibilityI couldn't bring myself to say anything. I turned my head towards Jeongguk as a signal for help and tried to look at Jeongguk's partner for help, but Jeongguk's partner was already lying face down on the desk.
"Kim Yeo-ju. Why do you keep avoiding answering?"
"Huh? No.."
"..What are you doing after school?"
I was taken aback by the sudden questions that kept being asked, but I was glad that they didn't ask me those questions anymore.
"I'll just go straight home later."
"That's good."
"Huh? What?"
"Come with me somewhere."
"..????????????"
"Oh, that's exactly the reaction I expected."
"Oh, no, that's not important. Where are we going?"
"You'll find out if you go with me later, right?"
"....."
'Have you ever seen such a crazy bastard?'
"Then I understand we'll go together."
"Yeah, yeah.."
Jungkook gently stroked the back of Yeoju's head and lay down on the desk. Yeoju, who knew that Jungkook was only doing this to her, blushed bright red. Yeoju fiddled with her mechanical pencil for no reason. And another thought must have crossed her mind. She wondered why Jungkook only smiled and acted excitedly towards her.
"You can see that Kim Yeo-ju's ears are red lol"
..Should I kill that?
Before I knew it, all the classes at school were over. I felt a little resentful of how quickly time had passed. I looked at Jeongguk with a relieved expression, but he was expressionless. Well, since it was a situation that happened all the time, I just ignored it. After the teacher said goodbye to everyone, the class ran towards the back and front doors.
"Aren't Yeoju and Jeongguk going out?"
"Ah, I'm going out now."
"I'll be there in a bit."
"Okay. Then make sure to lock the door before you go."
The teacher left through the front door. Jungkook confirmed that the teacher had left and turned his head towards me to look at me. I avoided Jungkook's eyes, which were looking at me with discomfort. Suddenly, he chuckled to himself and called my name.
"Kim Yeo-ju."
"Why, why!!"
"Did your ears turn red because you were excited earlier?"
"Who?! Me? Oh my, I'm so dumbfounded... When did I!"
"Cute, grab your bag and get up quickly. Let's go."
"Yeah.."
Jungkook left the class first, his bag slung over his shoulder. I quickly grabbed my bag and locked the back door, intending to go to the front, but it was already locked. Without thinking much, I turned back toward the front door and headed there.
I looked at the back of Jeongguk, who was waiting in the hallway first.
"Yes, brother. I'm not going today. Thank you for telling my brothers and sisters."
I kept comparing Jungkook's shoulders as a high school senior to those of Jungkook in his middle school years. I wondered when he had grown so much. In that short time, I wondered if he had been bullied at other schools, too. Jungkook's voice calling my name brought me back to my senses and I walked towards him. Jungkook also walked down the hallway, slowly keeping pace with my pace.
"Didn't you have a prior engagement?"
"Did you hear what I said on the phone? It wasn't really important, and it's always like this, so it's okay."
"Hmm, that's good. So where are we going?"
"Let's eat together. You haven't had lunch."
"Huh? How do you know that..?"
"How would you know? You don't have any friends, so you always eat at the store, but I never see you there."
"Thank you so much for noticing, but you don't have any friends?? Hey, I do have friends!!"
"You're the only one who has me."
"Hey, that's...!"
After being bombarded with facts by Jungkook, I was left speechless. No, to say I was left speechless, the conclusion was, 'Jungkook is my only friend.' I was at a loss for words.
"Haha ...
"Oh, what did you say.."
"Let's go eat something delicious quickly lol"
"..stupid idiot shit break!!!"
"what?"
"Didn't you hear? Should I say it again? You idiot, you fool, Jeon Jungkook!!"
"suddenly..?"
"uh!!"
I changed my pace from walking slowly to walking quickly. I heard Jungkook calling me from behind, but I didn't look back and just kept walking forward. Soon, I heard Jungkook calling me from behind and walking quickly, but I didn't stop.
Actually, I wasn't upset with Jeongguk.
There's nothing I hate...but there isn't
The only reason I walked quickly was because I didn't want people to see my red face, so I blurted out something and ran away.
Still boring today
