Be With You | Seokjin

huit : please don't

Jin's POV

I glanced at the clock and realized that it's 6am in the morning. I wonder why am I up so early today but I just hopped down from my bed and grabbed the towel.

I noticed that a small light bulb next to Namjoon's and Donghoon's bed are still on. I saw tons of math exercises on his desk so I figured that he was doing these the entire night.

I walked to Namjoon's bed and saw many pieces of paper next to him and a pencil. As I took out one paper from him, he opened his eyes to meet mines.

  "Oh, Jin. Why are you up so early today? Wait, what time is it?" He mumbled, scrubbing his eyes for a better view.

I just ignored his question and looked through the paper. He was composing lyrics. Oh god, why did he take this too seriously? I just told them another day that our group will be called BTS and we'll be practicing on the songs, dance choreographies and lyrics.

  "Namjoon ah, why did you force yourself to do this? I was just-" I couldn't find any more words to say. "I mean, what about your study? Won't your parents scold you? You know this school cared so much about grades right?"

  "It's fine, Jin. I got so excited that I couldn't review anything at all so I gave it a try by composing the songs and then I ended up doing it the entire night." He said, facing me.

  "Okay okay, now go back to sleep. You're overworking yourself." I told him to sleep and he nodded. I placed the papers on the desk and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After I finished, I told Namjoon to wake up then I headed downstairs without checking the schedule for the class today. I mean, I don't study so what's the point of bringing the right books for those subjects?

I went inside the classroom and saw Class Prep was wiping the whiteboard. She looked at me in surprised as I slid the door open.

  "Who are you?" She asked me, blinking many times.

  "The almighty Kim Seok Jin, of course." I replied back as I noticed her small laugh.

  "Jin? Are you really Jin? Why is the troublemaker Kim Seok Jin coming to class so early today?" She stopped erasing the board and walked up to me.

  "I don't know. Maybe I want to see the Class Prep?" I looked at her, smirking. Then she placed her hand on my forehead, as if checking my temperature.

  "You don't have a fever or anything, do you?" She examined my face and I giggled.

  "Do you even have time to worry about me? Shouldn't you be preparing for these chairs?" I asked her, averting my eyes to the messy chairs and desks.

She rolled her sleeves up and looked at those chairs. "Alright, I'm doing this again." She sighed, walking to prepare the chairs and desks.

I dropped my bag on a table and I helped her preparing. I noticed her looking at me but I didn't look at her back. I kept focusing on arranging these. It wasn't long before the students started to fill in the classroom.

  "Aren't you going to eat lunch?" I woke up from my desk to see Namjoon standing in front of me with Yoongi and Hoseok.

Just as I was about to stand up from my chair, a voice yelled and stopped all of the students in the class from going outside.

  "Ssam!" Soojung shouted then we all looked at her.

  "What is it, Soojung?" Our teacher asked then I saw Red Hulk standing in front of our class as well but he didn't go inside.

  "I lost my wallet!" She continued which made everyone whispered, sighed and muttered.

  "Class, don't go anywhere yet. Bring your bags up to your desk and stay still." Our teacher informed the class then everyone went back to their seats, sighing.

Red Hulk went inside and checked our bags as well. I brought my bag up to my desk then I noticed the cigarettes and the papers that identified where the cigarettes and white flowers are bought from are all in my bag.

How?

I remembered that I brought them out already. So, how? My face panicked then I looked at Hyerin who was looking at me with a worried face. We both wore a pale expression and widened eyes.

Before I could do anything, Red Hulk arrived my place and grabbed my bag abruptly from my fingers. He stared at me and reached his hand inside my backpack.

I figured he might have already touched them because his big eyes met mines and I looked away. He took out the pack of cigarettes out. The class attention is all on me.

  "What is this?" He asked, sounding very annoyed and angry. I did not respond. "I asked you, what is this!?" He yelled and looked at me.

  "It's cigarettes." I replied, staring at him.

  "Ssam, I found my wallet back now!Guys, I'm sorry I disturbed your lunch break." Soojung yelled then Red Hulk looked at her. Everyone sighed in relief and walked outside the room except Hyerin, Namjoon, Hoseok, Yoongi and Soojung.

  "Come with me now." Red Hulk commanded and I stood up, using my
foot to kick the chair in order to make a way for myself to walk.

I saw the three guys in BTS wore worried expressions, Soojung smirking as Hyerin glared at her without blinking.

I walked pass Hyerin's table and tapped her shoulder twice to let her get a hold of herself and to express that I'm actually okay. I'm a born troublemaker so it's fine for me to have this kind of thing in my backpack.

Hyerin looked at me with her eyes brimmed with unfallen tears. Those are the tears of anger and guilt. Her nose and her ears are red. She bit her bottom lip in exasperation.

I smiled at her as if reassuring her then walked out from the classroom.

  "You're going to meet the principal. I have no idea how to stop you now." He said firmly. I sighed loudly to indicate that I don't want to meet that old man.

***

The room's door closed and there are only me, Red Hulk and my dad inside. Red Hulk announced the news to my dad then he swirled his chair to look at both of us.

He's still the same. His black hair with streaks of gray running through, his dark brown eyes, his wrinkles and his same expression whenever he sees me.

He gestured something to Red Hulk then he nodded, putting the cigarettes on my father's table and went outside.

  "You can't do anything you want just because this is your own dad's school." He said firmly with a small smile forming between his lips.

I rolled my eyes. "Don't act like you even care about me." I said, looking at him in annoyance.

He stood up from his chair and took the pack of cigarettes to his hand. He observed it and stifled a small laugh.

  "Is this some kind of joke you're playing with me again?" He looked at me and I didn't respond. He threw the pack of cigarettes away on the ground.

  "Son, why are you doing this to my prestigious school?" He asked me firmly.

  "School, school, school. You only care about this fucking school!" I yelled back. "You even forget about your fucking son," I swallowed hard. "And even your own wife."

He looked furious, extremely furious then he walked from his desk with clenched fists but got stopped by a door slammed open.

  "I said you're not allowed to go inside!"

  "Principal, I want to meet the principal! Let me meet him, please!" I turned my head to see Hyerin struggling to come in with Red Hulk stopping her.

She finally stopped her shouting and faced my dad properly with tears lingered in her eyes.

She bowed down to my dad then looked at me.

  "Annyeonghaseyo principal, I am here to tell you the truth behind this smoking thing." Her face looked determined to do this and I just looked at her with open-mouthed.

Please don't. I'm okay with this. I'm really okay with this so please don't.
