Cigarettes and Tattoos | Jikook

Chapter eleven

• NOT PROOFREAD.

I didn't really noticed how time passed by fast. Lunch wasn't much interesting. I was just hearing gossips about me and Jungkook. It was funny. People really believed that I was Jungkook's little slave and that bag was his.

It was already Afternoon, And our last subject for today since the next class is cancelled so we can watch the game. "Have you seen Jungkook play baseball before?" Asked Tae who leaned close to whisper in my ear.

"No." I simply answered, eyes focused on our professor.

"He's good. Bet they'll win in the finals"

"Jungkook playing... Is that really a big deal?" I asked, a little annoyed. Everyone was talking about Jungkook all day.

"..I guess?" I just rolled my eyes at Taehyung, trying to listen to what the professor is saying. I didn't really care much back then if Jungkook was always the topic of this school. Somehow, I care a little bit now. I wanted to avoid the guy, and even avoid hearing his name because it always reminds me of that drunken night. This is hard.

It wasn't long when Professor finally dismissed and everyone rushed to fix their things. Suddenly, I feel queasy. I don't really wanna see him. The memories keeps coming back. And I feel embarrassed. But what's weird is that, I'm not mad... Not anymore.

"Jimin!" I hear someone call so I avert my gaze to that person by the room door and raised my eyebrows. He just signed me to hurry and pointed at someone I couldn't see. So I did fix my things fast and went outside only to see Jungkook. Already on his Baseball uniform. The guy who called me quickly left with a curious look.

"Wha— why are you here? Shouldn't you be with your teammates by now?" I asked, looking around but avoiding the stares from the other students.

"I forgot to ask something." Is what he said.

I looked up to him and frown, "what is it?"

"After the practice, are you gonna tutor me again?"

Oh right. The tutoring. Just f*ck my life! "I don't know. You're probably tired after so no need." I said, trying to convince him.

"I won't be. So wait for me after this game." I opened my mouth to say another reason but I couldn't come up with anything... "Watch the game." And he left.

"... So you're close now?" I flinched when Taehyung's voice was suddenly behind me.

"I tutor him." I simply answered Tae who looked at me weirdly.

"That still doesn't explain why he came all the way here just to ask you that! That guy doesn't just go up and talk to anyone. Ever. So why the hell is he so casual with you??" Taehyung asked in disbelief making me sigh

"I don't know Tae. Maybe he decided to change or so whatever. And whatever it is, I have nothing to do with it. So stop dropping into some weird conclusions" I told him and started walking. I honestly don't know why he'd talk to me. I mean, is it because we had sex?

Taehyung walked beside me and sigh, "Just don't.. befriend with him much. He's a bad influence" my best friend says giving me a concerned look.

"I know Tae"

Do I really?

"Let's go straight to the feild or buy snacks first?" He asked as we walk down the stairs

"Snacks first" I answered and we headed to the Canteen

We didn't take long to buy snacks. Others are already excited for the game, Students almost squealing while talking about it. Mostly, they were talking about Jungkook and how hot he is in a Baseball uniform. I shrugged that off and return my attention to Tae who was talking about this Art gallery he went in with Jin Hyung. We reached the seats soon. It was so crowdy. And I don't like it.

"Should we find a higher spot?" Taehyung asked, holding the snacks carefully

"Let's sit here, the view is clearer" I say, sitting down and pulling Tae to sit beside me. It's crowdy here but same as the other seats. I'm not much a sports person but I would want to watch this game with a clear view.

"When will your Dad return?"

"I don't know. Next week or maybe earlier." I answered Tae who nodded and continued to eat Chips. Speaking of Dad, He told me that he's going home with his Sister and her son. It's fine. Auntie is nice and so is her Son. We got along well when we were Young.

"They're here" Tae whispered near my ear as the crowd began cheering loudly, almost hurting my ears. I quickly spotted Jungkook's familiar figure. He was holding a bat and was even wearing a cap. Unusual but it looks good on him.

[A/N: I forgot, I'm clueless about baseball so -.-]

———

It ended well actually. Jungkook's team won. I didn't really know if they won if I hadn't asked Tae. I was clueless bout this game after all. Students then began Making their way to the feild, congratulating the players. Most girls headed for Jungkook, offering towels, waters, and foods. But Jungkook only ignored them as he looks around. Searching for something?

My breath almost hitched when our eyes met. It was fast and so sudden but I saw how his lips quirk into a smile before returning to his usual expression. He raised his hand and signed me to come near?

I looked at Taehyung who was looking at the other players then back to Jungkook. I pointed a finger at myself and made a questioning look. Jungkook nods.

"Hey Tae, I'll be going now" I bid him good bye and quickly walked away from my seat.

Pushing past every crowd, I finally reached the crowd of girls surrounding Jungkook. My nose scrunched up as I smell different strong perfumes, that obviously belongs to these girls. How can Jungkook remain calm?

Wait. Why did I even come here? This is stupi—

"Hey" I flinched as I look up. Jungkook was already in front of me, and girls were now surrounding us, ignoring my presence.

"What is it?" I instantly asked, not liking the crowd.

"Do you have water with you?"

I guess? I checked my bag and saw the water bottle Taehyung and I bought earlier. I handed it to Jungkook who took it and started drinking

"Can we go home already? This place is so loud!" I had to yell to make him hear it. Jungkook nods and grab my wrist and started pulling me away there. Girls still followed. Annoying.

As we reached Jungkook's car, Girls were finally nowhere. I sighed in relief.

"They were offering you drinks. Why didn't you take it?" I asked him as I put my bag inside his car

"Might be poisoned. Who knows." I snort at his response.

"Why would they poison you? They're head over heals for you." I say, watching him wipe his sweat

"What do you think?"

Jungkook suddenly asked, Making me frown in confusion. "About what?"

"The game. Was I good?"

"...I guess? Yeah, you played well. You were great." I answered truthfully. There was that again. The small smile.
