It might be a little confusing in this chapter, so I'll make it clear.

Jung Hyun-ae = Ms Jung = Mina's older sister

Enjoy!

P.S: The gif above shows IU, who is how I imagine Mina to look like. The character of Mina is not based on IU whatsoever. (we all know the ultimate IU fanboy is Jeon Jungkook) However, this "innocent" image of IU is similar to Mina, and how she's portrayed in this fanfiction. But let's just pretend her exact lookalike is in high school with life ruiner Kim Taehyung because that's how fanfics work, right? 


Mina POV

Taehyung and I have been spending more time together throughout these few weeks. We've been talking a lot more at school, but he also has formed a habit to walk me home. Actually, it was my sister (and homeroom teacher) who suggested so, because I tend to get myself in trouble a lot. Hyun-ae (Ms Jung) worries about me a lot. I guess she thought Taehyung would be reliable enough to drop me off at home. I don't really know how he feels about it, but he does it everyday with no complaints. It gives us some time to chat outside of school, and to be very honest, I enjoy having someone to talk to.


Taehyung POV

- One Morning -

I walk to the classroom, listening to music, with my hands in my pockets. People kind of move away from me when I walk, which is weird, but a little cool, I guess.

When I reach the classroom door, I use my foot to open the door. I walk to my seat, not making eye contact with anyone.

"Good morning, er, Mina." I say, sitting next to her. I don't make eye contact with her either, in fact, I'm looking the other direction. She doesn't reply.

I steal a quick glance, only to find out that she was listening to music and sleeping with her arms on the desk, face half hidden in her arms but slightly facing towards my desk, enough for me to see her face.

I sigh, and smile at her sleeping face. She looks so innocent...

"KIM TAEHYUNG."

I jump at someone suddenly calling my name, and look around to see who it was. Near the door, I see Ms Jung by the classroom door, signaling her hand to show me that she wants to talk to me. I obediently walk towards her a little nervous, wondering what in the world she wants.

"Are you two dating?" Ms Jung whispers.

"Who?"

"You two."

"Me and who?"

"You. And Jung Mina."

"Mina?"

Ms Jung tries to hide it but I see her smile, which kind of looks like my little sister's when she reads her little girly mangas.

"Yes, Mina." she replies.

"No, we're not dating." I sigh.


. . .


Mina POV

The bell rings, and I wake up. I stretch a little, but I can feel someone staring at me, and it makes me uncomfortable. I face the front, ignoring the stares from the male classmates who claim they're in my "fan club".

"Next week, as you all know, is midterms. I expect you all to be studying your hardest. Some of you, I know, has already started studying, which is great. However, for another assessment, you will all be partnered up with someone and will have to write a poem about that person. The partners will have to meet up and write this poem in their own time. Nobody will see it but me, and so you don't have to worry about presenting or it being presented. I will assign the partners." Ms Jung announces.

I swear she winked at me when she said the last sentence.

I usually get partnered up with Athena Chan, who is an exchange student from China. She doesn't know how to speak English or Korean, and so I always have to help her do her work. This, my sister has explained to me, is in hopes of me bringing her grades up. It would've been fine if I was just helping her, but she does not do any work at all. I expected Ms Jung to say, "Jung Mina with Athena Chan" any moment. It was worse.

"And the partners are going to be the people who you sit next to."

It takes me a few moments to process. The person I sit next to...to my left it's Park Chanwoo, but he's already talking to the person beside him. I look to my right...

"So I'm partners with you?" We both blurt out at the same time.

I catch Hyun-ae (Ms Jung) evilly snickering while fangirling, which doesn't seem possible but she manages to. Nobody seems to notice, though, because the whispering has begun.

"Who is he?"

"I think his name is Kim Taehyung? Or something like that."

"Kim Taehyung? Who's he?"

"Isn't it that cute boy?"

"Ah, he is a good match with Ms Perfect though. They both are really good looking."

"But Ms Perfect belongs to all of us. It's not fair."

The whispering gets really loud and uncontrollable, up until the point where Ms Jung cannot do anything. I start to get flustered because of the loudness, and I can feel myself beginning to panic. I cover my ears and close my eyes, wishing for everyone to be quiet. My head hurts and I can feel myself getting dizzy, even though my eyes are shut tight.

"SHUT UP."

Silence takes over the classroom as Taehyung sighs and sits down, looking angry.

"Thank you, er, Mr Kim."

I look over to Taehyung, who still looks angry, and as soon as our eyes meet, he gives me a smirk and looks away, and I sigh and smile at him, grateful that he stopped the ruckus. I don't even know how he knew I felt uncomfortable, because nobody else seemed to notice. Was he looking at me the whole time? Was he...worried?

No, Mina. He was just angry about the loudness. Yes, he was just angry about the loudness.
