Innocence

8] Upset

Jungkook's pov:

" How much ? " Evans, my best friend, asked peeping in my checked answer sheets at which I crumbled the paper shifting myself away in my seat.

" What?! Show me , Jungkook! " He frowned trying to grab them but I shifted further feeling extremely upset.

" No. Don't bother me Evans! Get away! " I retorted frowning at him when my eyes went on his answer sheet laying on the table.

" You got full marks so just stay happy with that. Now go away and don't bother me! " I said and soon the bell rang which meant that college had ended.

Standing up from my seat I grabbed my backpack and walked towards the teacher and placed my sheet in front of him, who unbothered -as usual- gave me a carefree look.

I was about to leave when he stopped me and said , " Have a little shame and study sincerely or else you are going to ruin your husband's name now. Not for yourself but for him and his reputation. Study! " His words rang in my head like a tight slap against my face and even though he hadn't even touched me, I could feel my cheeks heat up so without saying anything and drowned in shame , I rushed out of the class wanting to get out of the college as soon as possible.

" Hey! Jk!! wait na! " Evans ran huffing out a breath , he hissed looking at me. " Chill boy. You did study. You always study like no one else does. You know I won't ever tease you or mock you for your marks because I know how much you try hard. S-"

" But my answer sheets say something else! " I retorted frowning at him halting at my steps before again starting to walk. He became silent moving to the exit with me with a down face.

" Why is everyone so silent today? " he questioned.

I glanced at him and saw him looking around and then I too realized that the college was unexpectedly very silent today and students were looking at me as if I had grown horns on my head.

" You have become quite popular , dude. " He said getting a done face from me.

But suddenly his eyes stopped at a point in front of us. He looked shocked.

My eyes traced the same point and as soon as I saw in front of me, my eyes widened in pure utterance.

What was he doing there?

Taehyung was standing in front of the main entrance of college , supporting himself with it. That grey three piece hugging his figure firmly as if made for him and only him. Those tight biceps flexing out , his arms were wrapped on his chest with a beautiful smile spread on his handsome face.

" Oh my! Your husband looks so hot in person! Fucking cameras show nothing related to reality." he chuckled and I could feel heat rise up my face again. But this time it wasn't because of embarrassment yet shyness.

He nudged me when Taehyung waved at me and whispered. " Bye , dear JK. We will meet tomorrow. " He chirped walking away and even before I could say something I was left alone.

More eyes hovered over me and more sweaty I started to feel. I gulped , sped walking towards him glancing around people smiling at us before I asked him in a whisper. " W-what are you doing here? "

" I came to pick you up. " He stated simply , smiling at me and a question rose in my mind. ' How could he always be this happy? '

" What are you thinking? Oh? I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable by coming without kn-"

" Its alright. I don't feel uncomfortable. Just.....too many eyes to handle. " I said and he gazed around nodding. " Hmmm, but why to care about others? We aren't born to be bothered by what others think, right?" His words made me frown internally.

Easy to say for him.

I hesitantly nodded .

" So lets go. " He said opening the window for me before I sat down.

He jogged to the driving seat and soon we were off the campus.

I was gazing around the streets filled with people and trees. Wind was blowing heavily as grey clouds cascaded above the city showing great possibility of thunderstorms till evening.

I was about to down the window when Taehyung asked, " How was your result?"

I felt a painful churn inside my stomach and the need to throw up increased.

His eyes were still on the road so he could not see that awful face of mine getting red in embarrassment.

" I-It was....fine. " I said. It wasn't a lie anyways. I didn't fail which was somehow a great achievement for me. I didn't fail my exams ever but still there were times when I was saved by just a mark , so even passing was fine to me.

But now after hearing my lecturer say such a thing about Taehyung's reputation I couldn't be relieved of passing my exams because no matter what , what he said was right.

I had to study hard.

" Fine? How much marks come in this category to you? " Couldn't understand whether he was sarcastic or curious but I wasn't really in the state to reveal.

Somehow , his thoughts for me , had become a great deal for me. And I didn't know why?

I didn't know anything about him yet I was feeling too much bothered by what he thought of me and I didn't want my reputation to go down in his eyes but here I was doing something which I hated at the moment.

" F-forty three. " I gasped and pressed my hands on the desk board because of the sudden breaks that were pressed by him. The car was parked aside the road and now he was looking at me with a look that I couldn't decode.

Things happened at such a speed that all I could do was clutch the seat belt with heart beating rapidly.

" Jungkook?...." He called out my name in disbelief. " How much.....*sigh*......out of how much you got forty three? "

We both knew the answer but I had to say it with shame, " out of...hundred."

".............."

He kept on staring at me and I could see disappointment in his eyes and that silence made me drown in humiliation of my own stupidity.

Suddenly his phone started to ring taking my attention at the desk board before he sighed and picked up the phone.

" What the fuck is it?! " He thundered at the call taking me off guard , flinching me lightly. I never knew he could get this angry. A frown formed on his forehead as he spoke. " will meet you tomorrow." He said, " I won't be at office today. " His voice extremely dead serious with face cold and pissed.

And after that I knew that Taehyung could get upset.
