Bad At Love | JJK 18+ ✔

Chapter Twenty Seven

The clock ticked annoyingly as I stared down at the multiple choice questions glaring back up at me from the stapled packet on my desk. I stayed inside all Saturday afternoon doing nothing but studying once we came home from the hotel I don't even remember sleeping at. According to Jungkook, I had a bit too much to drink Friday night at the club which was all too apparent by the throbbing headache I powered through in order to cram as much last minute information for this exam I knew I'd have.

Reluctantly, I draw a circle around option C. My nose scrunched up with uncertainty at what the correct answer could be, but C always seemed like a logical go-to when every choice available didn't scream pick me. I knew that this semester would be tougher than the last, but I don't think I was quite mentally prepared for what was really in store.

The ticking on the circular clock continues at what seems to be an even louder volume as the end of the class crept up on me more and more. Two familiar sets of eyes are felt burning through me and I peek up to see Cassie staring at me for a moment from her seat across adjacent from mine. Bugging my eyes out at her to silently ask her what her problem was without getting into trouble by the professor, she rolls her eyes back at me before she quickly circles the last two answers. Making enough of a scene to make sure the attention was solely on her, she does little to stay quiet as she turns in the completed exam to the bin in the front of the classroom.

"Thank you, Cassie. Please remain quiet until the rest of the class is also done." Professor Jones states as he keeps his eyes glued to his computer, pushing his glasses up as he stares intently at whatever he's doing.

Glancing up at the clock, I see I have ten minutes left and still a whole page of questions to go. Pushing down my nerves, I re-read the question I had just guessed the answer on and erased the circle around the C, changing it to a B instead as the information I obtained last night comes back into my memory. I'm not quite sure what clicked or if it was just a stroke of luck, but I was able to power through the last page of questions with a bit more confidence and even had a few minutes to spare before I turned in my exam once the professor called time.

Cassie inaudibly mumbles with a snicker of a laugh as I walk by to grab my backpack, but I choose not to entertain her foolery once again. She's not worth my time and she knows that just as well as I do.

Walking out of the classroom and towards the staircase, I see Namjoon and his group of friends goofing off together. I hadn't seen him since Friday when he made an unnecessary show in front of Jungkook in the common area and the irritation of the memory burned in the back of my mind as I refused to make eye contact with him while I walked by.

"I'll catch up, later." I hear him say as I start to descend down the flight of stairs and I roll my eyes knowing he'll be coming up to me soon, "Des- Destiny...wait up!"

Continuing along as if I'm suddenly deaf, I make no movements to give him a clue that I've even noticed him.

"Miss Davis, may I please have a moment of your time, ma'am?" He smirks as he reaches out for my hand, making me stop in my tracks and turn to face him once I've reached the bottom floor.

"What do you want?" I breathe out, letting a groan rumble towards the end.

"I just needed to apologize." Namjoon grimaces, stepping back as a group of students walk in between us.

"You sure need to do that a lot." I quirk my eyebrow as I stare at him blankly from a few feet away.

"I'm nothing but a fuck up, I know. I shouldn't have acted like an immature child with your new guy. You're not mine to claim anymore, but can you blame a man for being jealous with the girl he still loves?" He questions with puppy dog like eyes gazing at me from under a black baseball hat. His hands were tucked in his hoodie pocket and a dimple appears as he continued to look at me, taking a few steps closer to try to close the gap.
