Crush (A Jeon Jungkook Fanfiction)

Your Eyes Tell

This is it. I have officially gone mad. Why in the world did I have to speak up? Now Jisung and his little rich friends are going to bully me for eternity. everybody knew not to cross with him yet I couldn't just sit and watch Jungkook get wrongly accused.

I sigh as I internally scold myself and make my way out of the classroom, ignoring the gazes of the two boys. "you just got us into more trouble you stupid bitch, all you had to do was keep your mouth shut, now look what you've done" Jisung mutters angrily and walks past me and Jungkook. I scoff at his words, offended. But I don't say anything like I usually don't when I'm pissed off. Stupid privileged arrogant jerk. I risk and look at Jungkook next to me, an equally pissed-off expression on his face.

"Thanks for that, you didn't have to do it" he speaks for the first time, almost sternly, sending butterflies to my stomach. "oh yeah, don't thank me yet, we still don't know what the principal will have to say". He doesn't say anything else and we finally seat ourselves in the principal's office, me in the middle and the two boys on each side of me. Mr. Ahn tuts at Jungkook and Jisung and raises his eyebrows at me. " Now I would understand why you both are here, but whatever did you boys do to drag this innocent girl into this mess?"

Jungkook scoffs and looks away in exasperation, "I don't understand why I have to be here when I've done nothing wrong, he started it"

"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that Jeon,"

Mr.Ahn sighs and looks at me fidgeting uncomfortably in my chair. "care to explain whatever happened, Miss Kim?" I take a deep breath and tell everything.

Mr. Ahn looks straight at Jisung and points at him "your parents will definitely hear about this, you can trust me on that young man and as for you," he looks at Jungkook and continues "I'll be letting you off this once, but I expect you to be on your best behavior or else the consequences will be harsh"

"That's not fair, he can't get to walk away from this while i-" Jisung starts but Mr. Ahn quickly shuts him off. "I decide the consequences Mr. Park and I think it's best you don't get yourself into any more trouble"

"And as for you Ms. Kim, I appreciate your courage to step up and speak the truth" I bite my lip to stop myself from smiling and nod. "I suggest you keep up the good work" he smiles goofily, making me smile as I hear Jisung groan. "Yes Mr. Ahn, thank you for understanding" "well off you all go then, shoo"

Jisung grits his teeth and walks out first, shutting the door with a bang harshly as he leaves. I wince at his actions as Jungkook rolls his eyes and walks out. I follow him outside, my heart still thudding fast at the recent events. Even though everything's now settled, Jisung has a grudge against me and I can't imagine what he's gonna do to me, the thought makes me shudder.

Jungkook suddenly turns around making me stop in my tracks. He licks his lips, his gaze trained on the floor as he raises his eyebrows, a classic Jungkook gesture.

"I really am thankful for everything you did, I would've been expelled if it weren't for you''

"don't mention it, I'm glad you didn't get in trouble," I say, chuckling nervously, hating myself for sounding so weak.

"Not just for speaking up to the teacher, if you hadn't held me back, I'm sure Jisung would've had a broken jaw by now and I would've really gotten expelled," he says, jerking his head slightly to the side making his bangs move sideways. The way he looks at me makes me so nervous. He isn't doing anything yet I'm on flames. It's those doe eyes I blame.

"It's alright, don't mention it" I grin and feel my face heat up. Why am I smiling so much? He must think I'm a creep.

"Well" he looks away and raises his eyebrows, "all right then, I'll see you around Nana" he nods his head. "Okay," I say, smiling softly, surprised when his pink lips tip up in a small smile before walking off. Oh god, he smiled at me. I turn around, not able to control the wide grin spreading over my face as I internally squeal and celebrate, feeling my body buzz with excitement.

The rest of the day goes smoothly although I was on edge with the little stunt I pulled today. I just have to avoid Jisung for the rest of the week and then it's summer vacation. He'll probably forget about me then. The bell for the last class rings and everyone rushes out of the classroom. I sling my bag and make my way into the hallways, noticing Jungkook and his friends near the lockers. His doe eyes meet mine, making my breath quicken as he nods his head towards me in acknowledgment, I simply smile shyly in return and walk out of the building. Talk about a crazy day.

6:55 pm

"Wait wait, hold up, of all days, why is it always that something interesting happens right when I'm absent?" Gahyeon whines on the other end of the line.

"Yeah, you missed quite the show today" I chuckle, staring at my ceiling, still feeling the butterflies thinking about my conversation with Jungkook.

"But why would you do that though?"

"Do what?" I ask cluelessly.

"You stood up for Jungkook against Park Jisung, that guy is an asshole and I'm pretty sure he has a nasty grudge against you right now"

"Well, it was kinda like a heat of the moment thing, I wasn't thinking," I say feeling grateful for making up that lie on the spot without being obvious.

"Huh, I see"

I could tell she was not convinced but I did not want her to know about my crush on Jungkook.

Gahyeon can be a lot to handle sometimes. The last time I told her I had a crush on this guy in art class, she didn't like him and told me several times how much of a "weirdo" he is. She took it upon herself to embarrass me in front of him by telling him directly that I had a crush on him. That's an incident I forever want to erase from my memory. Ever since I decided not to tell her about the boys I crushed over.

"I leave you alone for a day and now you're involved with Park Jisung, goddamn," she says, sighing dramatically.
