-JUNGKOOK POV-

Exam week. The most dreaded week in the entire semester. Notes are sold and photocopied at a high rate, cupboards are stocked with instant ramyeon and books are finally taken out of their new packages. I hate this.

Mr. Oh :"Mr. Jeon, if you do not pass this semester's Social Science exam, you will be held back during summer break for remedial classes."

"UGH"

-Y/N POV-

Ms. Yang :"Ms. Lee, if you don't pass this semester's math exam, you will be held back during summer break for remedial classes."

"UGH"

What am I supposed to do now? I don't have anyone to ask for help. I'm screwed. I think as I head for my math class. I take my seat as I see Jungkook approaching and sitting beside me.

"There are so many other seats. Go sit somewhere else."

Jungkook :"I like this seat the most."

"What- I won't even object. Do whatever you want." I said as class started. I began taking notes but still not understanding a thing. I look beside me to see Jungkook snoring. He looked adorable. I smile to myself as I put aside a hair strand from his face.

Ms. Yang :"Mr. Jeon, sleeping, are we? If you have the audacity to sleep during exam week, then I guess you must know everything. Solve this equation for us." she said while throwing a piece of chalk on his head making him groan in annoyance, his veins popping out of his neck, as he went up to the board. It was clear that he did not like being woken up. It didn't even take him 2 minutes to solve it as he slammed the chalk on the nearby table.

Ms. Yang :"T-That is correct!" she said, taken aback.

Jungkook :"Good night." he said while going back to his seat and sleeping again. That was hot-

-JUNGKOOK POV-

Mr. Oh :"So, that's what we had studied about World War 2 yesterday. Now, I'll be asking some questions orally to assess you all. First up is.....Y/n." he said as Y/n stood up. He started asking questions that I've never even heard before and Y/n answered every single one of them without stopping as the teacher also stared at her in awe.

Mr. Oh :"Y-You can sit now. Well done-" he stuttered. Damn, she's good.

-Y/N POV-

Class was finally over as I started packing my bag. I pick up my books when I notice a folded sheet in one of them. I open it and read it.

Meet me at the park at 8. I'll be waiting and wear something warm. It's cold ;) -Hobi

I smile and head back to my dorm to study for the mid semester exams.

I'm gonna flunk this exam. I groaned in annoyance and slammed my head on the table. I look to the other side of the room, to see Jungkook pulling his hair and cursing under his breath with History books scattered on his desk. I don't want to spend my summer break on those stupid remedial lessons. Why do we even do math when we have a calculator?- Suddenly an idea pops up in my head.

"Jungkook-ah!"

Jungkook :"Y/n!" We both say together.

Jungkook :"You first."

"I was wondering if you could help me with Math." I said while pouting.

Jungkook :"And what do I get in return?"

"I can help you with Social-"

Jungkook :"DEAL." he interrupted me as we both started laughing. For the next 2 hours, we just sat and studied our asses off.

"What's the answer to this one? I can't seem to get it right." I say with my head in my hands.

Jungkook :"Lemme see." he said as he came behind me and read the problem. "This one is easy, look." he said and took the pen out of my hand and leaned over me so that his face is beside my nape. It was hard to concentrate with his hot breath hitting my neck as my breath hitched.

Jungkook :"Did you get it?" he said as we both locked eyes. None of us broke it as we kept staring at each other. He leaned towards my lips but stopped in the middle hearing my phone ring. I look at my phone to see Hoseok calling. I glance at the clock and see that it's already 8:10.

"Fuck, I'm late. I'll be back." I said while heading out to the park letting the cold air hit my face.

Hoseok :"You're here? I told you to put on something warm." he said while taking off his jacket and covering me with it making me blush.

"Why did you call me?"

Hoseok :"I wanted to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"It hasn't been long since we met but it seems like I've known you my entire life. You make me smile and laugh and I'm really grateful for you for that. And as we went on dates this entire time, I realized I love having you in my life, Y/n. But as a friend." his last words trailed off as he smiled at me with a glint of sadness visible in his eyes

"Oh. It's okay. I understand." I said as I could feel that my tears would escape my eyes anytime now. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would but it still did. Maybe, he's better as a friend in my life than a boyfriend.

Hoseok :"We can still be friends, right? I don't want to lose you as a friend." he said while looking in my eyes.

"Of course. I have to go study for the exams now. I'll see you tomorrow at school." I said while fighting my tears and going back to my dorm. I close the door behind me and let the tears spill out of my eyes.

Jungkook :"Y/n, did something happen?"

"He said we're just friends." I barely managed to speak while crying as he embraced me in a hug. I sniffled into his chest as we pulled away.

Jungkook :"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine." I said as he grabbed my shoulders and made me sit on the couch and wrapped me in a blanket.

Jungkook :"Wait here." he said as he put on his boots and went out. After 15 minutes, he returned with a huge tub of ice cream, 2 Belgium chocolate cakes and some soju bottles.

"You brought all of this for me?!" I said, stunned but touched.

Jungkook :"No, i-it's for me. I was hungry."

"Really? Then why are their two cakes?" I said while raising my eyebrow playfully.

Jungkook :"I bought both of them for myself but you can take one." he said while turning on the TV, not looking at me.

"Sure." I chuckled. Soon, the TV started playing the first episode of "The Sound of Your Heart". The gloomy atmosphere disappeared into thin air as the room was filled with mine and Jungkook's light hearted laughter. I feel Jungkook's hand on my right shoulder pulling me closer. I don't deny it and snuggle into his chest as I could feel his heartbeat. He smelled like a sweet scent of vanilla. My eyes started to get heavy as I slowly fell asleep in his arms.

-JUNGKOOK POV-

I was about to put on the 3rd episode when I saw Y/n sleeping peacefully. I switched off the TV, took her hand in mine and fell asleep with the same thought lingering in my head like every night.

I wish she knew how I felt about her.
