~ 13:00; Cafeteria ~

I walk through the ocean of people towards the cafeteria because I am hungry. And by hungry, I mean really hungry. I haven't eaten anything since morning. I quickly skim through the menu to decide what I want to eat. To be very honest, I want all. But I adjust my appetite with a regular portion of Bulgogi Japchae and half plate fried rice, topping everything up with classic Kimchi. "Someone is really hungry," My head turns back to see Jungkook standing behind me, towering his tall figure over my smaller one.

"I haven't eaten anything, so yeah," I am feeling very weird. As if I am flipping inside.

"Can I have the same? I'll take both," Jungkook tells the cashier, and I look at him with a frown to just get an innocent shrug. "I just want to pay for my girl," Jungkook whispers in my ear.

My lips quiver up into a small smile with cheeks burning from the sudden flirtatious comment. The food comes, and as Jungkook said, he pays for both of us. "Eat with us?" He asks more like said and tilts his head into the direction of the table, where everyone is sitting and being chaotic. I nod, and we walk to the table. Jungkook sits down, and everyone looks at me.

"Ray, come, come, come," Hoseok gets excited to see me. I gaze at Jungkook, who tilts his head again towards his left. He is gesturing me to sit on the vacant seat next to him on his left. "Come sit," Hoseok says, and I nod at him. I sit next to Jungkook, who is slyly smiling.

"So, how have you been? We haven't met for so long," Jimin says and looks at me. We start to chat loudly, too loudly. "Yeah, we should go out soon," Jimin agrees to Namjoon, who is suggesting a small hangout session this weekend. "Ray, will you join us?"

"Uhm, I can, but I am not sure. My best friend came here from our hometown so, I think I will be with him this weekend," I finish and feel Jungkook's jealousy stares.

"Oh, best friend? How is he? Charming, attractive, hot, or all? Or is he your type?" Chaeryoung coos and Jungkook is ready to launch him.

"He is fine, but for me, he is a total crackhead. Also, he is more like my older brother," Chaeryoung tsks at my last sentence, but Jungkook relaxes at it. "But if he can come with us this weekend, then I have no problem," I suggest while eating my food.

"Sure, we don't have any problem with that," Namjoon naturally agrees, unlike Hoseok and Jimin, who agreed with a loud "Yeah."

Lunch is about to end, and I have free time next, so I am relaxed and eating calmly. But Jungkook is still next to me, and of course, he can't keep his hands to himself. I feel his warm palm flattening on my bare thigh. My breathing hitches, making me choke on the food I am eating. "Are you okay?" Jin asks as he notices me dying from cough.

Jungkook withdraws his hands and grabs the glass in front of my lips, making me drink it. I calm down while breathing deeply and coughing softly. "You okay?" They ask again, and I nod, wiping my teary eyes. "I am okay," I cough one last time before grabbing the glass from Jungkook. I smile, secretly appreciating that he was worried about me.

"Oh, it was so weird," Yoongi starts. "I saw Jungkook being worried for a girl for the first time. Also, that girl is Ray is more shocking," His sentence makes me choke on the water again. I swear to god, in the next five minutes, I will be dead from choking. "Yeah, calm down, or else they'll blame me for killing you," I keep the glass on the table and wipe my chin, looking away while getting my breathing stable.

"Sorry," I excuse myself and silently eat my food. We all start to become a chaotic mess again, whereas I am eating in silence.

"Ray, I never asked before, but what type of guys do you like?" Bae moves all the attention to me. "Like I like bad boys, and Cae is more into lovely and handsome ones," And like this, she goes on giving a brief about what the guys like in a girl. "And Jungkook. Well, he isn't into dating. He thinks all this dating is crap."

I turn to Jungkook, who seems taken back by Bae's words. "When did I say that?" Chaeryoung raises her eyebrows at Jungkook in disbelief.

"Well, for me, types don't matter. If there is love between us, then it doesn't matter how he is," I say, and the girls awe at my information. "But if he breaks my trust once, then I won't be able to believe that person ever again."

"I got it, ma'am. I was stupid enough to get back with my cheater ex," Bae says, but it isn't for her.

"So you mean if you love me, I am pretty sure you do. And I do too, then it won't matter to you how bad I am?" Jimin asks, and Jungkook puts his hands on my thigh again in a protective way. I suppress my smile. I didn't know Jungkook could be this sensitive.

"No, it wouldn't unless you're loyal. Also, I don't love you. That was a turn-off for me," Jungkook and Teahyung break into loud laughter, giving each other a high five.

"Jimin, how many times will you try on Ray?" Taehyung asks, wiping his tears of laughter. All of us laugh, and Jimin sits back down in a grumpy way.

"Sorry, Jimin," I smile apologetically, knowing it would've hurt him, but he is Jimin.

The bell echoes in the whole cafeteria, signaling us to get back to classes, but I am free. "Let's go, Woah," Taehyung says maliciously.

"I wanna skip," Jin nags but still gets up to go back to class. Only Jungkook, Yoongi, and I are the ones left.

"I am going back to the house. I have enough experience to pay taxes and not get someone pregnant," Yoongi says and walks out lazily, leaving Jungkook and me alone.

"Do you have any class now?" I shake my head, and he smiles widely. "Great, let's go then," Before I can ask anything, he pulls me to the second-floor balcony area. It is dead silent and empty. Only our footsteps echo.

"Why are we here?" Jungkook turns around and leans on the railing holding my waist close to his torso.

"Because I couldn't talk to you while others were talking, and Jimin was flirting," He rolls his eyes at the last three words. "So I wanna spend time with you as it's our day 1," I blush to see his lovely side.

"What do you wanna do?" I ask, and he takes my hands, wrapping them around his waist. He wrapped his arms around my waist over my arms.

"I don't know," He answers simply and switches our position. I am trapped between Jungkook and the railing. "You should wear leggings. Winter is coming."

"It's not that cold, and I'm fine with the temperature," He looks at me in disbelief. "What?" I innocently ask, not knowing anything.

"Well, I don't want others to see your legs," I chuckle.

"I didn't know you could be this jealous?" I emphasize this and chuckle again. "And do my legs look so bad that I should cover them?"

"What no! I mean, others can see them, and I don't want to see what's mine," He is so cheesy. He leans in and places his forehead on mine. I am smiling like an idiot. "And you're mine," With that, his lips get in contact with mine. I close my eyes and kiss him back softly.

"JUNGKOOK!" We hear someone screaming his name. He pulls back and looks behind me. "HEY!"

"Fuck, Jin and Taehyung."
