School Days

Chapter 7

Jungkook’s eyelids fluttered open, her vision slowly adjusting to the soft, warm glow of the morning light streaming into her room. She felt disoriented, as though she’d just awoken from a dream. Memories from the night before lingered in her mind, hazy and fragmented—she remembered being at Professor Kim’s house, sipping a sweet drink he’d offered her. But everything after that was a blur.

As she sat up, her fingertips brushed over her smooth, pale skin, her cheeks carrying a natural pink tint that deepened as her thoughts returned to him. Her big, doe-like eyes reflected a trace of lingering confusion as she glanced around, realizing she was back in her familiar bedroom. How had she gotten here?

The door creaked softly, and her mother entered with a gentle smile, though worry was etched into her expression. She moved to Jungkook’s bedside, gently brushing a few stray strands of her dark hair from her face. “How are you feeling, sweetheart?”

“I… I think I’m okay,” Jungkook whispered, her voice still soft and uncertain. “But, Mom… what happened? I remember being with Mr. Kim, and then… I blacked out.”

Her mother’s expression softened as she sat down beside her. “You fainted, dear. Mr. Kim called us and brought you home himself. He waited with us to make sure you were okay before he left.”

A deep blush crept up Jungkook’s cheeks, her skin warming as she imagined Professor Kim standing in her room, watching over her while she slept. There was something both comforting and unsettling about the thought of him being so close to her in such a vulnerable state.

“Oh… I didn’t mean to worry anyone,” she murmured, looking down, her small, delicate hand fidgeting with the hem of her blanket.

Her father’s voice came from the hallway, gentle but firm. “We’re just relieved that you’re safe, Jungkook. Mr. Kim is a good man to have taken such care of you.”

As her parents left the room, closing the door softly behind them, Jungkook let out a shaky breath. She lay back against her pillow, her mind spinning with questions. The fainting spell felt strange, as if it hadn’t been caused by mere exhaustion. No, something felt different, something she couldn’t quite place.

Her phone buzzed on the nightstand, breaking her thoughts. With a small, delicate hand, she reached over to check the message. It was from Professor Kim.

> "I hope you’re feeling better, Jungkook. Rest today, and remember to take care of yourself."

A slight shiver ran down her spine as she read his words. She could almost hear his calm, deep voice, that firm yet gentle tone that always seemed to have a subtle hint of mystery. Why did his words make her heartbeat quicken? And why did she feel drawn to him, even though every instinct told her to be cautious?

Jungkook slipped out of bed and moved to the mirror, her tiny feet making almost no sound on the floor. She gazed at her reflection, noting her soft, doll-like features. Her big, round black eyes seemed wider, as though they held the secrets of the past night within them. Her small button nose and pink lips made her look almost fragile, and yet there was an undeniable resilience in her gaze.

She touched her lips lightly, remembering the slight taste of sweetness from the drink he’d given her. Her thoughts raced—had there been something more in that drink? A hint of something she couldn’t identify?

Another buzz pulled her from her reverie. Her phone lit up with another message from Professor Kim.

> "Remember, if you need anything, I’m only a call away."

Her cheeks flushed a deeper pink, her heart thudding in her chest. There was an intensity to his words that left her breathless, as though he were offering more than just help. Was there a hidden meaning? She shivered, both anxious and oddly excited. She couldn’t shake the feeling that he had some kind of hold over her, one that felt as inescapable as it was thrilling.

Jungkook glanced at herself in the mirror once more, noticing the way her delicate pink lips were slightly parted, as if waiting for an answer she didn’t have. She had always looked innocent, almost naive, with her soft features and petite frame, but standing there, she felt like she was on the verge of discovering something deeper—about herself, and about him.

And for the first time, she felt a strange thrill, a whisper of rebellion. Perhaps she wanted to know more. Perhaps she wanted to understand this pull between them.
