Jungkook stepped out of the cab, paying the driver before taking a deep breath. Today was supposed to be a day off for him to relax and unwind from his hectic life. Yet, instead of enjoying some well-deserved free time, here he was standing outside his sister's school.
He wasn't supposed to be here. Normally, his father would have come to pick up his sister but Jungkook had other plans.
For nearly a week and a half, that mysterious woman had been calling him almost daily. She seemed to enjoy talking, always rambling on and on about various things. What bothered him most was the fact that he had no idea who she was.
She'd never told him her name. Every time he'd asked, her cryptic response was, "Find out." Her voice was the only real clue he had. And that she worked as a teacher at his sister's school.
That wasn't much to go on.
Jungkook rubbed the back of his neck. The woman was like a puzzle and Jungkook wasn't sure whether he was curious to solve it or simply annoyed by her little games. If she was a teacher, maybe he could figure it out by observing the school staff.
He stepped onto the campus. The noise of children in the yard drifted over to him but he paid it little attention. His sharp gaze scanned the area. Soohee wasn't out yet.
Jungkook waited for sometimes. He leaned against the wall, hands shoved in his pockets, eyes scanning the schoolyard. It had been ten minutes, then fifteen but still his sister hadn't come out. A frown tugged at the corner of his lips. The school grounds were slowly emptying, students and staff trickling out as the day drew to a close.
His patience waned and he pushed off the wall, quickening his steps as he entered the building. The school was now eerily quiet. On his way inside, he passed by a few students and some staff but no sign of his sister.
He turned down one of the halls and a voice caught his attention. A familiar high-pitched voice that instantly triggered his instincts. "I'm sorry, I'll never repeat it." the voice pleaded.
Jungkook's head snapped to the side. There in another hallway, Bong was standing with her head bowed. An old woman, most likely a teacher stood in front of her, glaring at Bong with a strict almost explosive expression. Behind Bong, Soohee watched Bong endure the scolding with sympathy.
Jungkook exhaled, relieved to see his sister safe. He had been worried something might have happened but now it was clear she was in trouble for something else. He shook his head slightly before making his way toward them, stepping into the corridor where Bong stood.
"You always say the same thing and then go and do it again. How many times have you been warned already?" the old woman looked as though she was on the verge of losing her temper entirely while Bong shuffled nervously, avoiding eye contact. Her face was flushed with embarrassment.
Jungkook approached them and cleared his throat slightly which immediately drawing their attention. Soohee and Bong's eyes widened when she saw him.
Soohee blinked in surprise, clearly not expecting him to be there. "Jungkook-shi. You're here?"
"Yes." His reply was brief as it always was.
Bong glanced at him, blinking with embarrassment. He had seen her being scolded and she felt her face heat up even more. She couldn't help but wish she could just disappear.
The old woman squinted at Jungkook, adjusting her glasses. Her eyes roamed over him suspiciously before asking in a sharp tone, "Can I know who you are?"
Jungkook straightened up, his expression was polite. "Oh, I'm Soohee's elder brother." he said, bowing respectfully.
"Soohee's elder brother?"
"Yes, ma'am. I'm here to pick up my sister."
The teacher's gaze shifted between Jungkook and the two girls, and then she frowned. "Elder brother? Then why does she refer to you by your name? These kids have no manners these days." the criticism was sharp and laced with disapproval.
Jungkook was taken aback by her remark. He wasn't one to get rattled easily but the teacher's scolding tone felt misplaced. He glanced over at Soohee whose head hung even low now.
Jungkook tried to defuse the situation. "It's fine," he said calmly. "I asked her to call me by my name. I don't mind at all."
But the old woman remained unimpressed, her frown deepening as she looked Jungkook up and down. "Still, no manners," she muttered, shaking her head in disapproval. "And you shouldn't spoil the kids by letting them behave like this. It reflects poorly on their upbringing."
Jungkook could feel a spark of irritation flare in his chest but he kept his expression neutral. He had a deep respect for elders but respect was a two-way street. If someone didn't respect his boundaries or his choices, he had no qualms about standing up for himself or his sister.
"I know what I'm doing. Thank you for your advice but I'm not going to take it."
The teacher looked taken back, clearly not expecting the retort. Bong's eyes widened in surprise as well.
Jungkook was usually calm, composed and rarely showed any signs of confrontation but when pushed, he could be as sharp as a blade.
The old woman muttered something under her breath, too low for him to catch before turning her attention back to Bong. "You will be cleaning your classroom today." she said sternly.
"What?!" She looked up at the teacher, wide-eyed with disbelief. "But that's not my duty today!"
The teacher crossed her arms, glaring at Bong with a look that could freeze water. "Are you deaf? I said you will be cleaning your classroom today."
Bong was about to argue further but the teacher cut her off. "I will speak to your homeroom teacher and have the duty changed. This is part of your punishment, young lady. Next time, maybe you'll think twice before mimicking me."
