Concentration of the crowd favourably shifted to the coast of the hallway. Everyone were bound to pitch into the murmur that rose up to loud chatters. As the clinking of heels halted, the murmurs did too.
"Hey Kookie!" A perfected pitch voice greeted. It belonged to the beautiful leader of Pink Quad.
"Hi there, Rosa!" Jungkook chimed. "What are you guys upto today?" He asked with a questionable interest. He was genuine. Unlike the others, he did not pretend. There was no reason to, he had not met the reason to, yet.
Rosa took brief glimpses of the three girls standing behind her, a synchronised smile stretched on their lips. "Nothing much. Just the usuals, you know?" She implied.
Oh yes, he knew very well.
Pink Quad. A group of four, the most beautiful and elite class girls. Ku Rosa, the said leader of the group, was one with sweet vocals. Lee Sooyoung, Kim Ara and Lia Wong — the other members of the girl band, equally talented as they could be.
The four middle schoolers were the institution's pride. Representing their school in various competitions and winning all along.
Pink Quad were envied by many and adored by all. Jungkook, like the others wanted to be like them. Accepted. So, it had been no surprise he was well informed about them. Because if walls had ears, they had mouths too.
"You mean, hanging out with the seniors?" The boy emphasized, awaiting a nod from Rosa.
"Kook, there you—"
"What's up, Tae bear? Eating well?" A girl from behind the group leader teased. The newly arrived eyed the girls coldly. "Aw, what have you got there? Carrot cake? Eat up, gotta maintain that winter hide after all." Taehyung stuffed the cake in his hoodie making the other two girls laugh and so Jungkook did the same.
He giggled quietly.
Taehyung noticed it and slouched his shoulders. "Now now girls, it isn't quite nice to make fun of our classmate, hm?" As if on cue, the laughter died down. "Don't hold any grudges against them, Taehyung. They are just trying to be . . . friendly, am I right girls?" Rosa smiled, acting cutesy and all that.
The chubby boy had never really liked those girls responding in chorus. God, that was so annoying. "So, um, Rosa." Taehyung heard his best friend utter. "Is Yeo Won going to be there too?" He swore he saw heart in his friend's eyes.
Aware of his best friend's sexual orientation, it had not been any big of a surprise. Moreover, Taehyung would likewise admit that their senior Bae Yeo Won's facial features were not made for comparison, at least not to his plump face.
"Yep. That's why I have a favour to ask." Rosa pouted, making the saddest expression. "Could you do my project assignment? It's due tomorrow and you know I can't ditch Yeo Won, right?" Her eyebrows raised with a luring furrow.
