Jungkook's POV

The beautiful face of the boy from morning continuously flickered in my mind as I made my way towards the Hostel office to get my luggage and key, after class. His teary eyes and nervous looks made me feel vexed. I slapped the poor boy in the face just for staring at me.

I can't get that expression of his out of my mind. His vulnerable state, the way he bit his bottom lip and squeezed his eyes shut. The way he stammered in lose of words. Everything is making me totally reprehensible. This is the first time I am feeling this much guilty for bullying someone.

I have accompanied those monsters in bullying many people, mostly girls. Every time I feel guilty. But that's nothing compared to the guilt I feel today. I was thinking about him the whole afternoon. 

There's of course something special about the boy. I feel like I have some kind of connection with him. Because when I stood so close to him, caging him in between my arms, I could get a sweet smell from his body and that fragrance felt so familiar.

And looking at his attractive brown eyes made me think about my Mom. My mom’s eyes are almost like his. And then when he stammered uncontrollably and breathed heavily not able to say his name, I suddenly thought about Moon. Because my sister has a slight speech disability. She stammers while speaking. Once she cried over a dead rabbit and she couldn't say anything for quite some time. She stammered and breathed heavily just like him. I really suspect the boy has a stammering problem. I don't think he stammered just because he got nervous.

Oh! I didn't mention the important thing yet. Why was he staring at me? Does he have a crush on me? But does anyone suddenly feel interested in a person who comes and throws them out of the seat they were sitting in? That's ridiculous. Then why was he staring? And he wasn't just stealing glances but was directly staring at me the whole second hour.

And all the time he stared, I was praying in my mind for him to turn his head and stop looking at me. Because I clearly knew, I'd have to deal with him. Namra and Donghyuk wouldn't let it slide if I let him go like that after staring at me for a whole hour. And I really didn't want to hurt him.

As expected both of them, especially Namra was furious. She doesn't like anyone looking at me although she sleeps with different guys every single day. And now when it's a boy who is staring at me, she was beyond furious.

I had actually tried a lot to convince them to let it slide for once. But they wouldn't listen. If I don't do anything, they themselves would manhandle the boy. So it's better, I ended it with a slap. I don't understand why those creatures love hurting people so much. Whatever, that's their entertainment. They feed off of others' pain.

I was snapped out of my train of thoughts as I reached in front of the Dorm office. Miss Kim was still sitting there, now sipping on a cup of her special cardamom tea. She smiled looking up from her cup on seeing me. Then she placed the cup down and turned around on the chair, rummaging in a drawer nearby.

“Here's your key,” she handed me the key with a smug smile. I wonder why she is smiling like that now. But I understood the reason once I looked at the key.

Ah Great! 69!

“It's just a number,” Miss Kim chuckled, probably on seeing my expression.

“Hmm..,” I sighed. “Do I have a roommate?”

“Yeah. A senior itself, but a new admission. He arrived yesterday evening,” Miss Kim said and took her teacup back from the table.

“Okay then bye. Let me go find my room. Thanks for keeping my bags safe, whole day,” I chirped and she smiled whilst gulping down her tea. I then took my luggage and walked in direction of my new dorm room.
