BEHIND THE DOOR

while you took a seat, you could sense eyes on you including Jungkook's. you were 20 minutes late for his lecture.

jungkook may be a jovial man around you but he's labeled as the most rigid professor in your university.

even though he has never behaved awry with you, a strange restlessness was still swallowing you inside. you didn't dare to raise your head and meet his eyes.

fortunately, after two minutes of intense staring, he finally got back to start his lecture. that was a low-key obvious move and the whispers around you began reaching your ear making you feel more discomfort.

you were writing down the lectures you missed and noticed someone putting a book on your desk. looking up, you found jungkook with a sharp face. it was your book which you had left last night at his place.

your breath hitched as he suddenly smiled at you.

how am I supposed to ignore him?

as you walked out of the university to return home, you found someone catching up with your pace beside you. looking up you saw jungkook already looking at you as you both walked. he wiggled his eyebrows at you while smiling.

you looked away trying to suppress your smile making him chuckle. your grip on your bag strap tightened as you attempted to walk faster but he again catch up with you.

"let me give you a ride, you'll reach home faster," he said stopping in his track as you faced him. "actually I have to go somewhere right now. thanks for the offer though." you forced a smile at him before walking away making his smile fade away.

he stood there still. he has been finding your behavior bizarre since you've come to the university this morning. you didn't talk to him like you used to instead you chose to avoid him and that's the reason he decided to return home early.

he planned to go home with you and talk out things. he was longing for your attention which he didn't get for four hours even though you were with him.

his fist tightly balled up in frustration as he glared at the way you went by. he harshly gulped before getting in his car.

you walked to the bus stop with your thumping heart. it was hard for you to reject his offer to his face. you were too nervous which was fortunately not visible. you were feeling extremely bad but for your own good, you needed to be tough.

you got on the bus as it arrived. you were going home btw.

jungkook clenched his steering wheel in rage while staring at the bus you got in with his blank eyes. after a while he drove off.

"you came back pretty quick." you flinched hard while unlocking your door at the sudden voice. you turned back and there was jungkook grinning at you. you chuckled to ease the tension.

"Well, the person I was about meet couldn't come," you stated. "hm." he shortly hummed taking you off guard. it became intense and awkward as he said nothing for a while and you couldn't find any words to say.

suddenly he waved while walking away. you sighed in relief but that was surely too unusual of him.

after you came out of the shower, you looked at your phone as you heard it ringing earlier. you were about to walk go to the kitchen when your phone again rang. it was an unknown number. you hesitantly answered the call.

"Hello." you greeted but got nothing but silence in return from the other line. "hello? can you hear me?" you asked thinking there might be some network issues. but as the silence grew your eyes widened.
