Torn in Two

Part Fourteen: Old Friends Reunite

Zack Young:

Bored, I feel so bored already. I just arrived at school because I left early so I can avoid that woman and my brother. Yesterday I had spend the entire afternoon with N after Jungkook left to chase after Erin. Just in case N had send him a text that we would be at the arcade and after twenty minutes he arrived with a sour facial expressions since he had no idea where Erin was.

I put my hands in my pockets while I stare at the clear blue sky. Somehow I kept thinking about Aria all day, it wasn't healthy anymore. She kept popping into my mind while I was dosing off causing me to wake up again. It was pretty frustrating.

"Hyung".

I look up to see Jungkook staring at me. Why was he looking at me like this.

"Yah what's wrong, since when are you so tall".

Jungkook starts to chuckle softly. "Maybe it's because I'm standing up and you are lying on the ground while staring up at the sky like a dog".

"Once again: what's wrong" I repeat myself.

Jungkook chuckles again before sitting down next to me on the ground. He puts his backpack near my head as he makes himself comfortable on the grass.

"Nothing really. So you and N hyung really do bond quickly, he has text-ed me to ask if you can hang out today. He even calls you big brother" Jungkook says as he grabs something out of his pocket. "So you thought about the Aria noona issue, you want Grey to win".

I give him a look, before he joined me I had some peace and quiet. "Not yet, but Grey will not win from me this time".

Jungkook smiles as he hands over a small package of gum. I thank him softly as I take it from him.

"Thanks".

I sit up so I won't choke in my gum while we watch the parking lot. The only ones that arrived at school this time are the teachers, although my father is still at home being a family with Grey. See? I'm just some bastard in their eyes.

"So what are you doing here so early" I ask Jungkook since I was curious on why he's here at this time.

He let's out a soft sigh. "N hyung text-ed that he saw you walking to school. His mother made his take up a morning shift at the cafe before he has to go to school" he explains. "He told me that you looked bored so he basically forced me to- and I quote 'entertain his brother by singing', so do you want me to sing. I have to ask or else N hyung will go berserk" he says in horror.

I have to admit that it was pretty kind of them to look after me as if I'm their brother. Besides I don't mind being or acting like their big brother. As long as I don't turn into a Grey kind of brother, then you can shoot me.

"No it's okay, don't worry about it".

It was quiet for a little while before I realise that Aria just arrived at school, along with that nosy sister of her. I forgot her name since I don't care about her.

"Hyung look it's Aria noona" Jungkook says as he points at Aria. "Talk to her or else I will hurt you, big brother".

He smiles at me looking innocently but I knew this is a true threat. This guy might look cute but he is everything but cute. With a sigh I stand up, throw my backpack over my shoulders before leaving Jungkook without saying anything. Why would I? He was threatening me.

"Yah Torres wait up" I call out to her.

She turns around slowly with a smile on her features but as soon as she realises it's me, her smile drops. Guess I really hurt her last time. Even though I didn't meant to hurt her the last time I saw her, I sincerely thought that Neo was bugging her so I saved her from the guy.
