Chapter 7



This boy was new as you had never seen him before. You were so dazed by his charming smile that you only came back to reality when the boy waved his hand. You blinked and got up with the boy following the same suit.

"Are you okay?" He asked again.

"I-I am fine." You sounded like you were nervous. The scene with Jimin was still fresh in your mind.

"I am Cha Eunwoo. I am new here and you know I am very lost. Can you help me find the maths class?" He raised his hand for a handshake. You hesitated at first but shook it gently and pulled away quickly. Eunwoo had already toured the school the last time he came for admission. He was simply using the pretext to get closer to this girl he had only seen and met now for the first time.

He genuinely did not have any friends here and he didn't want to feel lonely either. He knew that other students of the school were not the friendliest from what he had heard from rumors. But he could tell that you were a decent person. If it was any other girl, she would have clung to him.

"I am Lee Y/n. I am actually on m-my way. You can follow me." Damn, your nervousness.

The entire class's attention was on the new boy who had entered the class behind you. As usual, you went to the back to take your seat. What you did not know was that the new boy was following you and took the empty seat next to her.

The classroom was filled with gasps and murmured talks. Nobody has ever sat next to the 'virus'.

You were just as surprised as your face flushed with red and this boy simply sat there and shot the sweetest smile ever.
Your eyes flickered towards Jungkook who was seated two rows ahead of you. He had a blank expression but she could feel that he sure did not like this. Before she could tell the boy the offense he has committed, Mr. Namjoon entered.

"Good morning folks." He greeted endearingly placing his books on his desk. His eyes landed where you were seated. "Ah. Everyone, this is Cha Eunwoo. He is new so please be kind to him. Welcome Eunwoo." Mr. Namjoon was quick with the introduction with no flattering words. Eunwoo nodded in acknowledgment as all the gazes wandered towards him.

All the girls were already swooning over his visuals and were now looking for his ig ID, sneaking their phones under the table.
Once, Mr. Namjoon caught a student using his phone in class. The usually calm, Mr. Namjoon snatched it and smashed it into pieces. He then smiled at the boy and walked away. Everyone had learned to never mess with the once-rumored ex-underground rappers.

That was not all. The boy had followed you like a puppy to every class during the day. You were not used to this at all. The other girls already hated you but this handsome boy innocently trying to befriend you was making it worse. So many questions he had. So talkative and .... just so annoying.

Luckily he could not find you during lunch as you sat at the usual spot in the backyard of the school where nobody could bother you. Poor Eunwoo in the meantime could not even eat properly as the other girls kept pestering him with questions.

The whole basketball team was glaring at the new boy who was also now a member. Eunwoo was unbothered. He had already prepared himself for such a reception by others.

"Coach. We can't just let this dude in our team without knowing if he has any skills or not." One of them protested.

"Listen Haru. I am the coach and as far as his skills are concerned, we will see that after the practice match. Got that." Nobody dared to answer Joong Ki. They didn't want stiff muscles from running extra laps.

The boys did everything to make Eunwoo feel like an outcast. They hurdled and cheered like they do every day leaving him out. Eunwoo was not hurt at all. He was rather amused and rolled his eyes at their childishness.

The first half went with Jungkook scoring goals for his team. Jungkook gave the boy a smirk telling him indirectly that he was not a threat to him. But boy was he wrong. In the second half, Eunwoo took everyone by surprise as he smoothly took the ball away from the golden boy to never give it back again.

The boys who were once appalled by him now patted him impressed by his performance. Humans are twisted beings after all.

"Well done Eunwoo. You should know that Jungkook is the best of the best and to tackle him is not easy." Joong Ki did not give compliments but he had to give this boy who had made an impression on the very first day. Jungkook watched while gulping his water as his teammates were talking to the boy like he was an old friend.

Eunwoo walked to his car whistling. He was about to open the driver's seat when he felt a hand on his shoulders.

He turned to face the person. Jungkook tilted his head and looked him in the eyes.

"Hyung."

Jungkook broke into a smile.

The two men pulled each other into a tight hug.
