"That's all for today's class. Remember to submit your essays by tomorrow," The professor concludes the class. I pack my bag, getting all the pages into the binder. I get up and take the binder in my hand before the bag, but Jungkook takes the chance and swings my bag over his shoulder.

"You know that God has gifted me the strength to do that," He just shrugs and takes my hand. We make our way out of the English class. "I am already tired," I whine. Jungkook put his arm around my waist, pulling me to his side.

"Me too, wish we could just skip," He discreetly glances at me, but I directly glare at him. "No, I can't, I got classes," He contradicts his statement and looks straight, ignoring my daggers.

I chuckle after seeing his actions, and we make it to my Math class. "Bye, and don't you dare skip," I warn him, and he nods confidently. I wave at him, but he abruptly kisses me in front of many classmates. I am standing there frozen, whereas he is smiling widely.

Jungkook jogs away, leaving a shy smile on my lips. I quickly walk to my seat to see Jessie smirking at me. "Cute couple," She squeals in excitement to tease me. I just chuckle and ignore her tease. "Cuties," She coos and nudges me.

"Shut up," I chuckle before the professor finally enters the class to save me from all the tease. I am dying from shyness inside me. The lesson goes on as well as Jessie.

"Jungkook is so into you. You know, you both look like the perfect couple. I heard he was a playboy, but people and rumor," She rolls her eyes after finishing.

"Rumor?"

"Yeah, girls go around saying he is a playboy. I don't believe them. I mean, c'mon, he loves you so much. Anyone can tell just by looking at him when he looks at you. I saw it when we were in the canteen together," I chuckle at that day. Jungkook was annoyed by Jessie, but he is adoring us only. But, somehow, I also find myself questioning one thing.

Why is Jungkook so into me?

I am not that special or anything. I am just an ordinary, mediocre girl. He keeps saying I love you and pamper me till the end of the day, but what is it that is making him do it? How come he is so willing to leave his old lifestyle for me. I was so into my thoughts that I skipped half the class, questioning myself only. I shrug all my thoughts and focus back on the lesson.

~ 12:30; Lunch ~

I walk away from my locker after settling my stuff. "Hey," I hear a monotonous greeting which made me turn to two girls, maybe my seniors. "So, as a fresher, you are really famous around the campus," They look up and down at me, making me uncomfortable. "Also Jungkook's girlfriend, so we have decided to take in our sorority," They fold their arms over their chest, buffing their big breast.

"Uhm, sorry, but not interested," I politely bow and walk away. The girls stand in front of me, making me halt in my path again.

"You know we are inviting you personally," The other girl speaks up, pressuring on each and every word, or more like pressurizing on me. "Are you crazy? Or the fame from being Jungkook's so-called girlfriend is making you think you are someone really superior or what?" I roll my eyes at their rudeness.

"Hey," We turn to the manly voice. "Get lost," It is Yoongi. He stands beside me lazily. "If you don't want to get kicked out of your sorority," He smirks at the two girls who straighten their posture with the effect of Yoongi's dark presence.

"You can't do that."

"Don't test me," The girls just leave after hearing him. "You okay?" I sigh and nod at him. Both of us walk to the cafeteria, where everyone is being a mess, of course, Jimin, Taehyung, and Hoseok are there. "God, why?" Yoongi groans, seeing the guys being chaotic, making me chuckle.

We walk to them, "Hey guys," I sit beside Bae.

"Hey," Bae says. I look around, and Jungkook, Jin, and Chaeryoung are missing. "There are here," Bae takes everyone's attention to the trio, walking to us like they just fought a war or something.

"I just wanna become an isolated person now, away from studies," Chaeryoung drops herself down next to Jimin and lays her upper body on the table.

Jungkook pushes Hoseok away and sits beside me. "Rude," Hoseok says, but Jungkook just smiles at him innocently. He wraps his arm around my waist and buries his chin in the crook of my neck. "Damn, they are cute," Hoseok speaks again, making me chuckle softly.

He sits next to Jungkook, who is trying hard to not sleep on me. "Seeing Jungkook like this just makes me feel goosebumps," Taehyung shivers at his words, but Jungkook doesn't go back. He just looks at Taehyung while hugging me.

"Just say it, y'all are jealous of us," Taehyung laughs in disbelief. He is left speechless by Jungkook so are others. I smile to myself, seeing them ruffled by Jungkook.

"I will get something to eat," I try to get up, but Jungkook pulls me down on my seat again. I frown at him, and he just hugs me. "I'm hungry," He just sighs and gets up with me. We walk to the queue.

"What do you want?" I hum while looking at the menu. The queue goes ahead while I am still deciding on what to eat. "Say," He back hugs me, putting his chin on my shoulder.

"I will have Bulgogi Kimchi Pasta," I finally decide as I am craving meat badly. We move slowly to the front. "Bulgogi Kimchi Pasta," I repeat my order and turn to Jungkook. "You?"

"Making it two," The person nods and places two trays in front of us. We had to wait for five minutes for the order. Finally, the food comes, and Jungkook stops teasing me in front of the students standing with us. "I will pay," He quickly gives the person his card for the payment. I was about to protest. "What? You are my priority," I blush and walk away from him with my tray. He chases after me just to see my flatter self.

We sat at the table peacefully, which was not for long. "Ray, help, emergency," Joe comes running to me. I thought he was absent today. "I hate my bitchy brother from the depth of my heart," He pants heavily.

I chuckle and get up to face him. "Calm down. I thought you were absent today."

"Yeah, I had the best English class today," Jungkook says from behind. "Keep it like this, I love it," Joe glares at Jungkook, but he just shrugs innocently.

"I wasn't in the class, but I can tell that all you did was staring at her," Joe starts and points at me in the middle of the conversation. "The whole class," Finishing it with a snap at Jungkook. Jungkook snaps back and nods in agreement, making Joe roll his eyes at him. "Anyways, My brother was running late, so he didn't wake me up properly and let me sleep the whole time. I don't know what happened in English class, but I heard that we got an essay to write."

"Yeah, we have to write an essay. The topic is easy. One should judge a man not by what he has, but what he is," I say, and Joe stares at me blankly. "What?"

"Easy? Where is that?"

"Dude, it is so easy," I fire back.

"Whatever, what else happened?" He asks, and I tell him everything. Namjoon was also there telling him. Joe sits with us, and I notice Bae staring at him furtively. I smirk at it.

Joe is a decent, funny, and kind guy, but he once told me he isn't into dating because, for him, love will happen once and for all. He might like someone, but he knows she will be temporary, so he never looks at any girl more than a friend. For Bae, she might have the image of a rebellious girl, but deep inside, she is just a soft, fragile, and good girl. The saying "Never judge a book by its cover" is for her and the others. "Thanks for the information. Bye everyone, and I'll catch up with you later, Ray."

Joe walks away, having Bae's eyes attached to him.

I clear my throat and look away, slurping the noodles, trying to bite back my wide smile. "Is it just me, or the whole time Bae was staring at Joe? Just like I did in English class?" Jungkook whispers to me.

"You noticed too?" He quickly nods. "Do we set them up or what?"

"Nah, leave it to them. It is all fate," I turn to him, having a smile on my lips. "Like us," He smiles widely at me, bopping his nose on mine.

We are fate.
