Voices surrounded him as his head was down on his desk, eyes slowly closing just to be woken up by his name being called causing his head to shoot up.
Ms. Shim the Geometry Teacher told him that he was needed in the counselor's office. He slowly stood up from his seat walking towards the door.
He Felt all of his classmates' eyes on him, their whispers, and giggles until Ms. Shim told them to be quiet. He exited the classroom, the noise going away with each step he took.
As he walked down the hallway, his mind raced with thoughts about why he was being called to the counselor's office. Was something wrong? Had he done something to warrant a visit? He's never been in trouble before and tried to find a reason behind why they'd call him to the counselors office.
He tried to push the anxious thoughts aside and focus on putting one foot in front of the other..
As he turned the corner, he saw the counselor's door up ahead and took a deep breath. He knocked, and after a moment, the door opened. The counselor greeted him warmly telling him to come in and have a seat.
"Jungkook-ssi you're probably wondering why you got called into my office. To start off you're not in trouble, you're in here for a great reason!" Mr. Paek said. "Oh I thought I was in trouble." Jungkook said, fiddling with his fingers.
"Well the reason I called you down here is because I want to talk to you about your college career. Your grades are magnificent and you're the top student in all of your classes. Your GPA is great. I could go on and on about your academics young man, but I know you get the gist." Mr. Paek said with a chuckle.
"Thank you Mr. Paek. I've actually been thinking about this for some time, and I think I want to apply to Princeton." Jungkook explained. "An overseas university is nice. May I ask what you'd want to major in?" Mr. Paek asked.
"I'd like to major in Physics. I've always been interested in Quantum Physics." Jungkook explained. "Well that's why I'm here to help you. I'll teach you how to apply, help find inspiration for your essay, and everything! All you have to do is schedule a time with me and you'll be set." Mr. Paek explained handing Jungkook a schedule sheet.
Jungkook grabbed the sheet and pulled out a pencil from his backpack before writing down a date and handing it back to Mr. Paek. "If you don't mind, I'd like to get started as soon as possible." Jungkook said. "I like your mindset, kid. I'll see you next week on Monday." Mr. Paek said, standing up to shake Jungkook's hand.
Jungkook turned around to leave before Mr. Paek said something else. "Oh and before you leave there's this tour happening at BIO T SCIENCE CORP. And they'll be looking for interns to work for them in the summer at the tour. It's a secret not many people know they'll be scouting while touring so use that big brain of yours to get their attention!" Mr. Paek said cheerfully handing Jungkook with a piece of paper that had all the information about the event.
"Thank you so much Mr.Paek." Jungkook said bowing before leaving the office. As the door shut behind him Jungkook couldn't help but to let out a squeal of excitement. He looked around to see if anyone saw before he began to turn the corner, re-reading the paper again.
Jungkook smiled to himself looking up before he could act he bumped into Kang-Dae, one of the rudest people Jungkook has ever met. "Watch where the fuck you're going nerd." Kyung-Dae spat.
Jungkook stumbled back bowing. "Sorry."
Jungkook hated the fact that he always had to kiss Kyung-Dae's ass for him to leave him alone. He does this to multiple people using the fact that he's rich, and popular to treat people like shit.
