The Crown That Stands Between Us || JJK

8

You sigh in relief, gathering your books as you began to develop a headache from your teacher's previous lecture. 

You took a glance at your phone, noticing the messages that Jungkook had sent you around an hour ago, reminding you to stay focused and to eat. Smiling to yourself, you walked down the hall, replying to his messages. 

You slipped your phone into your bag, tilting your head back up to look ahead of you. There were several students that crowded the university halls, some talking to their friends while others visited their lockers alone or studied themselves along the sides. 

Many were excited for the upcoming summer break, while others were complaining about the summer school they had signed up for. They were topics that you constantly heard as you passed by. 

You weren't one to have many friends. You generally like to spend your time alone at school, and it helped you to remain focused. Of course, you had friends, but no one you could tell all your problems to. No one who would sit and listen and try to make you laugh when you were down. There was no one like Jungkook, and it made him all the more one of a kind. He was your best friend, your crush, and the person who was always ready to catch you when you fall. 

Just the thought of him made a smile slowly tug at your lips, making you look like an idiot as you smiled to yourself while you walked alone. But that's the effect he had on you. He made you insides twist, turn and flutter just with a single glance from his galaxy like eyes. His accidental touches caused your skin tingle, but in a way that made you want him to hold your forever and never let go. His unique laughter as his face lit up left you in awe and led you to laugh along with him. 

He did many things to you. Many things that he had no clue about, and it would remain that way. 

I really need to stop thinking about him.

You sighed to yourself, struggling to push the thought of him away. 

The event of last night still lingered at the back of your mind, the scene replaying over and over again. It was almost unstoppable as you kept returning to it. Did he actually try to kiss you? Or were you just misinterpreting everything. It all felt so confusing, and you yearned to ask him, but knew that doing so would be too difficult and make things awkward. 

As you continued to think of the night before, your mind wandered to the three girls that you had met. 

Shoot I have to meet up with them

But, do I have too?

Feeling bad that they might be offended if you ditched them, you turned into the next hall which led to the library doors at the end. You searched for the familiar blonde hair from last night, considering you had no idea how their faces looked like from their masks. 

Your gaze finally landed on a trio standing in at a corner, only a few meters away from the large library doors of the university, one’s hair a nice golden, while the other two’s brunette. 

Taking in a deep breath, and attempting to gather your courage, you finally began walking in their direction, plastering a friendly smile. 

“Hey” you spoke out, grabbing their attention in an instant. They blinked at you in surprise before they all returned their own smiles. 

“Are you Y/n?” the girl who you assumed was Choonhei asked. You nodded your head in return.

“Omg you're so beautiful!” Chanmi exclaimed, making your cheeks fill with colour. 

“I ah- thank you.” you grew shy at the compliment. 

“She isn’t lying though, no wonder the Prince chose you.” Lisa added in, a friendly smile dancing along her lips.
