"So where do you live Ms.Lee?"

She look at him nothing but with piercing eyes. Thinking that he was kidding, jieun never thought she would be with jungkook again for the nth time.

Now sitting on the passenger seat of his luxurious car, she was wearing her uninterested look, murderous eyes casted to the oblivious guy beside her.

"Are you serious?" Not amused by the scene a while ago when jungkook honked his car multiple times outside the school's gate, calling her name out loud that draw some of the students' attention.

"Serious in what?" he replied feigning innocence.

"You're nuts, we're not even friends, I barely know you". her tone was mixed with madness and amusement.

"consider yourself lucky then" looking at her as he fixed his safety belt. Jieun wanted to talk back but decided to shut her mouth and put on hers too. There's no point on talking anymore especially with this guy. Jungkook on the other hand isn't insensitive, he knows he's getting on her nerves but still goes on teasing her. He was turning on the gps on his phone, pursing his lips trying hard not to smile when she went silent. It's a mystery to him why it felt good to see her annoyed but never bothered to know.

"Care to tell me your address, newly found friend whom I barely know?" Putting a little tease on the last line, his tone still sounds casual overall.

Jieun didn't say anything as she took his phone and type the address herself shoving it back afterwards. The guy had to hold his laughter on the act. After checking the address, he proceeded on placing his phone in front. Taking a quick glance on the mirror that reflects the girl beside him, he switched the key to turn on his car's gears. A smile forming on his lips.

The road seems pretty long that day as the skies turned a little warmer and gloomier. The usual 40 minutes or less ride that jieun often have, had become seemingly endless as they were stucked in a heavy traffic.

Jungkook decided to break the silence by asking her when his car stopped in the middle of the road.

"Say ,jieun what makes you join the music club?" he wanted to at least enjoy himself thru talking despite the agonizing waiting game.

Jungkook thought it might be also a good time to know each other better as he noticed jieun rarely talks at class and only do so when asked. Even when the time they occasionally bump into each other, he was always the first one to talk and that triggers his curiousity. He feels like she was somewhere between the line of being a loner innately and someone who refused attachment to people and it bothers him to know that if it's the latter, she must be lonely, she must be constantly afraid because he's been there and that the only difference they had was on how he was able to overcome it ,thanks to his two goofy friends and how she was stucked at the moment.

"It's what you asked" she replied nonchalantly as she busied herself looking outside the window watching the cars and people on the roadside doing their thing. It's always her hobby to observe little happenings because that's when usually her ideas popped up. To write a better music she has to put herself to other people's shoe and maybe just maybe that's the reason why her lyrics sounds real and home at least to her because only through music she could attached herself to people without the tendency of getting hurt.

He took the time to glance at her. So you like music, huh?" He added as he resumed his attention back on the traffic light.

"Everybody does, people relate to music"

"Hmm...so what do you do? Sing ? Play instruments? Dance?" he asked.

"None of the stuff you've mention.."
