Prequel: Making the Black Cross | BTS GANG AU

For majority of the day Clary received many stares from her classmates in regard to her temporary uniform situation. She wasn't sure if the stares were positive or negative, perhaps a bit of both. She decided to ignore the gossip that was going on about her, some people speculated her and Namjoon had done the deed in a empty classroom and that he forced her to wear those shorts as some sort of possession over her, others speculated they were simply showing their relationship off, and then the people whom actually knew the truth twisted the story of course. Clary overheard people at one point create a rumour that she'd urinated herself and Namjoon provided her with his gym shorts out of sheer embarrassment.

Realistically as each made up version became more twisted, Clary grew more amused. She could not care less what was being said about her because she knew that the opinions of these people didn't matter to her and would never matter once highschool commenced.

Clary was desperate to shake off Namjoon as the end of the day grew near because she had planned to do more light stalking. She felt bad but he had yet to leave her side the entire day - she felt like he was trying to be her guard dog even though she clearly did not require one. It was sweet how he seemed protective of her wearing his shorts but he needed to back down a little. Clary sighed deeply. She couldn't wait for final class of the day to finish, the teacher was speaking in English about a novel Clary had forgotten to read. The class had felt like it was going on forever.

During her short time being around the boys, Clary observed that they were incredibly swift in keeping their business a secret. She thought that she ought to have walked into a room and caught them discussing it at least once but it had yet to occur. She wondered if perhaps they didn't talk about business at all during school hours in case somebody did walk into a room at the wrong time or overhear a conversation. It was weird. Clary knew how infatuated she was becoming with Kim Namjoon from school, but she couldn't help but worry that the boys were almost living a life like Hannah Montana - she did not know the business version of Namjoon.

"Earth to Clary?"

She looked up and into his chocolate brown eyes, he smiled warmly. "I was thinking, do you want to maybe hang out after school today?"  He smiled.

Clary knew that she would need to be careful upon her answer. "Ah I wish I could but I already have plans today, I have an assignment to start and I'm going to the gym after school."

Namjoon frowned at her response but was equally understanding."Ah nevermimd I understand."

Clary began to feel bad, she knew she had killed the mood entirely but did not know how to resolve the situation so she engrossed herself with the last twenty minutes of the school day in order to finish the essay she had been writing on the set novel which she had watched a YouTube video summarising it instead of reading.

Once the bell sounded Clary got up to pack her things and noticed that Namjoon immediately took off without waiting on her. She had guessed that she hurt his feelings which had not been her intention. She frowned, and looked up to see Kim SeokJin. "So what is your plan now?" He smiled. Seok Jin looked like he was one of those people that you could talk to easily. He was a very approachable person yet Clary got the impression that he would be able to get information out of somebody in seconds but simply just asking kindly. Clary reckoned it was his eyes, they were so soft and doe-like making him appear even more welcoming.

Clary hesitated. She had not thought of an answer which would allow her to have some alone time. "Lućia and I are going to get a manicure and then I'm going home to hit the gym like I said to Namjoon."

Jin nodded, her answer appeared feasible and she knew for a fact that by using a manicure as an excuse she could ensure none of the boys would be able to tag along. "Do you think I perhaps hurt Namjoon's feelings? I really didn't mean to do that."
