"Is this Jeon Jungkook? Is he here?"
"Ah... No, he's in class 1."
"Ah, thanks."
I moved toward class 1.
Screech—
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Jeon Jungkook leaning against the wall.
"...So, our disciplinary committee member came to find me on his own?"
"...You still haven’t taken off those earrings? Take off that hoodie too."
"I was told not to wear the hoodie, but you didn’t say anything about taking it off."
What is he even saying...
"Same thing... I told you not to wear it."
"Who made that rule?"
Is he crazy?
"Who do you think?"
"Probably the teachers, damn it."
"What’s with the way you’re talking about the teachers?"
"What? Do you like the principal?"
"What??!"
"Yeah, it’s obvious."
Jungkook sneered.
He’s messing with me.
"Come to the disciplinary office after this."
"Can you give me three reasons why I should go?"
Ugh... This sly guy. He never comes to the point easily.
"First, discipline. Second, discipline. Third, discipline."
"Disciplinary committee, huh?"
"...Even though I look like this, I’m the head of the disciplinary committee. The teachers are busy, so they asked me to handle things for a while."
Jungkook, emphasizing the "disciplinary committee" part, pushed my patience to the limit.
"If I run away, won’t that be the end of it?"
Look at this...
"...Then I’ll have to catch you."
"Really? I’ll go?"
Is he messing with me right now?
"Alright, try to run. I’ll chase you to the ends of the Earth."
"Whatever. You’re too slow anyway. Even if you tried to run, you’d barely make it."
He's really poking at my pride as a track athlete... If he keeps this up...
I’ll drag him to the counseling office for any excuse.
For a moment, Jungkook stayed silent, maybe realizing something.
"...So, I told you to take off your hoodie. Please. If you don’t want to get caught by my friend who’s even worse than me."
Jungkook sneered once more.
"If you really want it..."
"While you're at it, take off your earrings too."
"Fine, I’ll take them off."
He's suddenly so cooperative? What is he?
I don’t know why, but it feels so bad, even though he’s just listening to me.
"If you’re going to wear a hoodie, bring a jacket next time."
"Yeah, yeah."
Jungkook threw his hoodie off casually as he answered.
"Is that enough?"
"Yeah... that's good now."
"Did you really come all the way here just for this, Disciplinary Committee?"
"Yeah, something like that."
"Ah, I see. I was wondering what this was about... and it was just this?"
"What did you expect?"
"I didn’t expect anything from you. You just suddenly showed up, and I thought it was something grand."
"Alright, I’m leaving now. Pay attention in class."
I left those words behind and headed back to the classroom.
"You're cute, Disciplinary Committee."
"Are we going to see each other often from now on?"
