Y/n walked through the convenient store's sections to get some vegetables for the dinner. It had exactly been a week since Seonghwa left for Japan, and there was no one to treat her with dinner or even cook it for her. So, she had to put all her strength in making it. Also, not to mention, for her it felt like it was a huge load to carry. Cooking just wasn't her cup of tea, and she doubted if it'd ever be.

Her eyes scanned the store for bacon as she needed them for dinner. But, she found it on the top shelf where her height probably wouldn't reach. She cursed underneath her, going to the place where the bacon was placed and attempted to get it while standing on her tippy toes. 

However, it was just all in vain. Pouting and looking at bacon and giving it puppy eyes that were urging it to walk down by itself, Y/n mumbled some sweet Shakespeare curses to the store owner.

Just as she was about to leave, a hand made its way up to the box and got it down for her. She astonishingly looked up at the owner of hands only to find someone she wasn't expecting at all. Her mouth parted when her eyes landed on him. He looked so handsome even after so many years. But, a little fear knocked on the door of her heart.

Her step-brother's smile, made her insides crawl with repulsion. How could she even call that man her step-brother? He deserved to be called as a killer. The only thing that guy had done was to hurt people. He knew nothing expect that.

"What're you doing here? It's been a long time since I saw you baby sister." Jiyong patted her head that only made the disgust in her surge. She couldn't believe this horrible man was even her brother.

However. She couldn't just disrespect her elder brother like this. She needed to respect him. "I- I am fine, Jiyong. W- why are you here?? I thought you're in LA."

"Ah, yes! I was, but I came here for a mission so..."

Y/n murmured an 'O', and she went silent. It didn't surprise her that her mafia brother was here for mission, coz that's what mafias do, right?

"So, are you here alone?"

She couldn't say she was alone. Jiyong would probably like to have a brother-sister talk with her, and she did not want it. She needed to get out of there before it was too late. But, swear her mind that seemed to have a blockage. Ideas just didn't seem to come in her head.

It's not that Jiyong would do something to his sister, but then again Y/n didn't like him. To her, he was just a monster who liked having people's blood. Just as she opened her mouth to tell the very first thing that came to her mind, a voice called her out from behind him, making them both look at the source.

As soon as Jiyong got out of the view, her eyes fell on Jungkook who stood there, flashing them a moderate face. "Y/n, are you done with buying the bacon?"

She didn't know why Jungkook was helping her, but right now, she didn't even want to know. If there was opportunity for her to get out of this mess, she'd gladly accept it.

"Uh... Y- yea... I am done, Jungkook."

"Good, let's got then, Seonghwa must be waiting in the dorm.

"You both know each other??" Jiyoung questioned, looking betwen the pair, and Y/n hesitated. What was she supposed to say now? 

 "Yea, she is my friend." Y/n's heart fell at Jungkook's response. Why didn't he call her as his girlfriend? Nevertheless, Y/n was Y/n, and she gets what she wants.

Soon a grin appeared on her lips, while she held Jungkook's arms, making him go all stunned yet, not showing it out on his face. "oh, Jungkookie! My brother won't kill you if you say your real identity."

Sweat coated Jungkook's forehead, hearing her. His mind ran with all ponders. Jiyong would definitely do that if he knew Jungkook's real identity. He'd hurt him until and unless there was no single ounce of blood or bone left within Jungkook's body, "w- what?"

"What identity?" Jiyoung sharpened his stare at Jungkook, while Y/n chuckled. 

"he is my boyfriend!" Y/n cheekily smirked at Jungkook to which he only made a poker face. He couldn't put belief into this girl. How could someone be so unafraid?

"Y- yea..." Jungkook flashed an uneasy smile to Jiyong to which he only laughed. Jungkook wanted to kill Y/n for making him her boyfriend however, a death could wait.

"Ok, I'll leave y'all. Have fun." Jiyong kindly spoke, and went away. He didn't want to interrupt the love birds. Only if he actually knew they weren't loved birds, but angry birds.

As soon as Jiyong left, Jungkook glared at Y/n, making her gulp in fear. She knew she messed up a big time and was even up for the punishment Jungkook would give her. "What the hell was that, Miss. Y/n?"

"Uh... Uh... I-"

"Stay away!" He sneered and turned his back to her, walking off like an arrogant man he is. Whereas, Y/n puckered her lips at his behavior.

Whom was she even expecting to be loving for once? Putting all the groceries in the cart, she made her way towards the billing section. When she was done with the required procedure, she left the store to go home and cook herself a nice meal.

Though, her mind seemed to have a question. Did Jungkook like it when she called him her boyfriend? The answer to this was of course 'no' yet, she still hoped he'd like it. Y/n had started seeing that guy differently.

She attempted to find the good in his bad behavior, kind in his arrogant words, and love in his hateful eyes. She didn't know how much of that she had found, but one thing she knew that was she had fallen in love with him. Despite being a classmate to him for so many months, she was just a stranger. He had possibly helped her coz he pitied her. There was no other reason he'd even do that, right?

Jungkook's hard mantle covering his heart was being broken minute by minute by Y/n, and he still was oblivious to it. The iridescent girl seemed to make his heart pump with some weird sort of feeling which he thought was hate but wasn't really hate.

Hadn't I said it already? That excessiveness in anything isn't good, and that was what exactly happening to Jungkook's heart. However, Jungkook still hated her. So much that, he always wanted to choke her, not literally, when she walked past him.

If Jungkook was allowed to do anything he desired, he'd make Y/n wear a donkey costume and tell her tell her to dance on the 'Ponytail', the cartoon theme song. Now, who'd tell these two individuals how irrational they were being.
