"And why so much book?"

"She has final exams."

"I rephrase: Why so many books if those exams don't matter?" Jin sits down next to Namkyung. Jeonggoo pays no attention to him, focused on her math exercise. Her hair is pinned up and full of barrettes to keep strands out of her face. Namkyung snorting.

"Because those hormones know, if she passes the year, she has a chance of ending up in the same classroom as her honey girl." Jin laughs through his nose.

Truth be told, Jimin causes real miracles.

It's no secret to anyone in the gang that Jeonggoo got what wanted. She didn't give details of anything, either good or bad because Jimin asked to. Jeonggoo merely said it was mind-blowing and the best intercourse she has ever had. Since then Jimin hasn't been able to talk to her much. Genuinely busy: final exams start tomorrow Monday and she has barely had a chance to practice dance, eat and sleep. The occasional photo with Taehyung and Hosook for studying together.

Why not Jeonggoo? Jimin knows she's not going to let her study. Knows Jeonggoo will want to do anything but study. So pushes Jeonggoo away. The studies come first. Anyway, helps Jeonggoo with whatever she needs through video calls or messages. The girl rubs her face. She has five hours here and wants to get some rest.

"I saw your dad near my work yesterday," Namkyung informs and Jeonggoo scrunches up her face. "He was with a woman."

"Son of a fucking bitch." closes the book in disgust.

"By the way," Namkyung sounds her lips. "I got a discount on piercings. Do you want it? Tattoos are expensive and I don't think I've convinced any of you to get it done, but getting pierced is other thing."

"Finally! Something well in this gray world of equations!" Dramatizes Jeonggoo with raised arms. Namkyung and Jin guffaw. The man pats Namkyung on the thigh to invite her to follow him. Jeonggoo plays on her cell phone for a while before continuing to study.

"What spell did you cast on her? I've never seen her so focused."

"I didn't do anything."

Taehyung doesn't believe her. Jimin must have cast a spell on Jeonggoo to be this focused on studying. Taehyung steps aside to answer Hosook's incoming call. Jimin was about to enter the classroom to hug Jeonggoo, interrupted by noticing the principal enter through the other door. It catches her attention that he talks to her and behaves a bit aggressive, Jeonggoo seems about to hit him and when Jimin notices him raise his hand, opens the door forcefully:

"Googie!" The director over jumps and lowers his hand. "Are we leaving already? We're going for ice cream."

"Yes, I'm coming." Jeonggoo grabs her bag and walks away.

"Jeonggoo, come back here now-"

"SHUT UP AND GET THE FUCK OUT! ASSHOLE!"

Jimin is dumbfounded, What's wrong? Also, Jeonggoo speaks a bit strangely, as if has something on the tongue.

"A-ay, that hurt-"

"Jeonggoo come back- Come back here! You can't keep pretending that- JEONGGOO!" Jeonggoo keeps walking away with Jimin clutching her arms.

"Jeonggoo it hurts me, w-wait." Jimin can't get Jeonggoo to let go of her. The gang member hurts her from how tightly she grabs her.

Taehyung chases after them, thinking they were leaving without him and only when they are outside the school does Jeonggoo let go. Jimin hisses in pain, her arm soon turns purple and Taehyung gives the gang member a bad look for that.
