Jeon Jungkook, the punk who is only kind to me
* writing Please be aware that there may be some profanity in this content, so please read with caution :)
Maybe it was because of the quiet atmosphere, but I opened my eyes. I was so surprised that I almost screamed because Jungkook was looking at me from the side with a burden. ^^ When I looked out the window, the sun had set and the sky was glowing. I was shocked because I didn't go to class all day and just slept.
“Huh? The ceremony is over..?”
"You wake up so quickly?"
"I'm crazy, I'm crazy..."
“Oh, come on, I’ll take you.”
“Oh yeah.. thank you.”
Jungkook helped me up, grabbed my bag, and left the classroom first. I rubbed my shoulder, which Jungkook had touched, with my hand. I let out a short sigh and followed Jungkook, grabbed my bag, and left the classroom. I locked the door tightly after turning on the lock. Jungkook went ahead and left first, and I confirmed that the lock was locked and was going down the stairs when Jungkook suddenly stopped at the end of the hallway on the first floor and let out a small curse.
“What, why are you like that?”
“What was his name again… Anyway, why is that kid standing there like that?”
“Who is it?”
I turned my head from looking at Jungkook and looked in the direction he was looking. A completely unwelcome person was waiting for us, smiling brightly and waving his hand widely. I thought it was too much to ignore the greeting, so I gave him a small wave back. I glanced at Jungkook, but he was still standing there motionless, with a look on his face that said he would kill Kim Taehyung.
“Did the crazy guy go crazy because he wanted to die?”
"Hey, what's wrong? I think it's because we're happy to see you."
"I'm not happy at all?"
“Hey, why is he running towards us..?”
"what?"
“Look over there..”
Kim Taehyung was running towards us quickly. I quickly lowered my hand that had been greeting Taehyung, grabbed Jungkook's wrist, and suggested that we run out the back door. Jungkook looked my body up and down with his eyes and said, "You? Are you holding me?" I didn't feel bad about it. In fact, the more I did that, the more I held Jungkook's wrist tightly.
“If you want to just jump, jump.. Okay, let’s go?”
“Hey hey Kim Yeo-ju, wait a minute, hey!”
“Hey you guys, where are you going!!! Let’s go together!!!”
I felt really sorry for Taehyung, but I quickly turned around, grabbed Jungkook's wrist, opened the back door, and ran. Jungkook didn't stop me either and followed the path I led him. In the end, Taehyung was the only one left in the first-floor hallway.
“……….”
Taehyung, who was left alone in the hallway, looked at the back door that Jungkook and Yeoju had left through with an unreadable expression on his face, and then followed them out.
I left the school and arrived at the school gates. I was breathing heavily, but Jungkook seemed unfazed. No matter how I looked at it, Jungkook was a monster. I tried to let go, but I had clearly grabbed his wrist, and now he was holding onto his hand tightly. Startled, I quickly pulled my hand away. Jungkook made a regretful expression.
“Why are you holding my hand first?”
"Hey, hey! What's with the hand... it's a wrist!"
"Haha, let's say that's true."
“Oh my, I’m so dumbfounded..”
“Is Kim Yeo-ju upset? She’s totally crazy.”
“What are you talking about.. Please be quiet and go home quickly, okay?”
“Should I take you home? It seemed dangerous back then.”
“But Jungkook, even if I say no, you’ll still take me.”
" of course. "
"Then why are you asking..? You're the one who answered."
“Just lol”
Jungkook told me to hurry and walked ahead. I followed him, telling him to come with me. However, when I heard our names being called, I couldn't help but stop and turn around. The identity was, of course, Kim Taehyung, and Jungkook's sigh was heard loudly.
“Where are you two going that you’re in such a hurry?”
“Ah, Taehyung.”
“Are you two going on a date or something? Hahaha”
"Huh? No no no absolutely..! Right, Jungkook?
(Please say yes, say yes, Jeon Jungkook please•••)
“Is that right? Hahaha”
I sent pleading eyes to Jungkook, and I thought he knew because I had clearly met his gaze, but I was wrong. I had a feeling that maybe Jungkook was just oblivious. Maybe a lot... On the other hand, I thought Kim Taehyung would be flustered, but he wasn't at all. Instead, he smiled with interest, looking back and forth between me and Jungkook. Jungkook, too, looked at Kim Taehyung as if he were shooting lasers. I was fidgeting between the two of them.
“Jungkook, do you think it’s okay for a kid like you to go on a date with the female lead alone? Let’s just keep our mouths shut, lol.”
"That kid's been crawling around since morning. Hey, I don't even want to see that face, so get out of my sight and in front of Yeoju."
“It looks like these guys are going to fight again.. ”
I spoke quietly so they couldn't hear. The distance between us grew closer, and if things continued this way, I felt like someone might throw a punch. All I could think about was the need to separate them. Fortunately, we were the only ones on the playground, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. I took a deep breath and screamed.
“You two get out of here right now!!!”
” …? “
” ? “
"These guys keep fighting whenever they make eye contact? Are you kids? You growl and swear whenever you make eye contact... Your fights are really childish! Do you realize that!?"
" ah.. "
“ ……… ”
“For now, Kim Taehyung, you go your own way, and Jeon Jungkook, you go your own way. Got it?”
" huh.. "
“ ………. ”
Kim Taehyung quickly agreed with what I said, but Jungkook was not like that at all. Instead, he made an annoyed expression and got out of the situation. He just stood there quietly on the playground for a while. Seeing Jungkook's expression, my heart weakened a little, but I grabbed him again and said goodbye to Kim Taehyung, apologizing for getting angry at him, and I headed home. I thought about grabbing Jeon Jungkook, but there was no trace of him. I thought about leaving a text, but I knew I wouldn't get a reply, so I didn't. Unable to bear the frustration, I headed to a nearby cafe to empty my stuffy stomach.
“Please give me a cafe mocha and vanilla latte to go.”
“Yes, it’s a Cafe Mocha Vanilla Latte, right? It’s 7,000 won total~”
Hoping I'd run into Jungkook on my way home, I chose coffee. But not knowing what Jungkook might like, I settled for the cafe's most popular drink, a vanilla latte. I handed my card to the staff member and sat down to wait for my drink. I pulled out my phone to check if I'd received a reply from Jungkook. Truthfully, I was so worried about him that I left a message.
“Ugh.. Are you really not going to come?”
It was hard to hide my disappointment. The black screen of my phone, with my lips pouting, showed my expression as it was. I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I was disappointed because I liked Jeon Jungkook or as a friend. In that short time, I concluded that, of course, I was disappointed as a friend. When I heard the news that my coffees had arrived, I got up from my seat and headed to the counter to get them.
“Would you like me to put it in your cup carrier?”
“Ah.. yes!”
"Yes, here it is!"
" thank you. "
I left the cafe, holding a carrier cup filled with coffee in one hand. The weather was quite chilly, perhaps because it was getting late. My hands, holding the carrier cups, were cold, but I endured it and walked home quickly. It was partly because my hands were cold, but also because I had hopes of meeting Jungkook sooner. A smile spread across my face without me realizing it.
“Not here yet?”
I exhaled with a heavy breath as I climbed the hill. As expected, Jeongguk wasn't at the playground. Hoping he'd read the message, I took my phone out of my pocket and checked, but there was still one unread message left. I sighed and went into the playground slide, waiting for Jeongguk to come. I brought my cold hand close to my mouth and warmed it for a moment with my breath.
It worked, but only for a short time.
Before I knew it, it was almost 7 o'clock. I was hungry because I hadn't had lunch, so I filled my stomach with coffee. I felt pathetic waiting for Jeongguk in the cramped space of the playground slide. I was hungry and cold and wanted to go home, but my longing to see Jeongguk was stronger than my desire to go home, so I waited quietly. Adding to the stress, I was also feeling sleepy. I had been sleeping all day at school, but I must have been tired because I fell asleep again.
“Does this kid not want to see me?”
“I really hate Jeon Jungkook..”
Tears were already welling up in my eyes. I didn't know what was on my mind. No, I didn't know at all. I was afraid of what Jungkook would say or what expression he would make when he saw me like this.
I wiped the tears streaming down my cheeks with my hand, leaned against the wall, and closed my eyes. The tears didn't stop, and I felt like I'd just cried myself to sleep in the playground, waiting for Jeon Jungkook to arrive.
Behind

“Fuck”
Jungkook quickly put on his hat, grabbed his phone and wallet, and ran out of the house.
Hahaha I'll end it here -8-
Have a fun and happy weekend everyone ❤️🍀
