Just Go (BOBBY X JISOO)

4. I won't let you walk alone

linga ling, ringa linga ling, ringa linga," sang Jisoo in the morning whilst trying her best to also do Teayang's choreography.

"You're going to end up pulling a muscle if you carry on," teased I.M causing Jisoo to pause dancing. She hadn't realised he'd been laughing at her for the past one minute and thirty seconds.

Once again, Jisoo internally cursed the architectural positioning of her house. She hadn't realised it was a problem until she realised that her bedroom window was only an arms length and a half to I.M's window next door.

"Why are you looking through my window," shrieked Jisoo.

"It's not my fault someone decided to play Ringa Linga at half seven in the morning."

"I'm getting ready for school, shouldn't you be doing that too?"

"I don't need to get ready, I get home schooled, so I'd appreciate it if you let me sleep in the mornings."

"Well I'm going now anyway, so you can go back to sleep."

"How are you going? Are you taking the bus?"

"No, I'm walking," replied Jisoo before she closed her blinds and went downstairs to leave through the front door but not before eating breakfast and taking a bottle of water outside with her.

As soon as she stepped out of her front door, she found I.M stood outside her garden.

"Why are you here," she asked quzzically.

"To walk you to school," he replied.

"Walk me to school? I.M, I'm not twelve."

"Well," said I.M as he looked at what Jisoo's school uniform, "in those clothes you do. And plus, I won't let you walk alone.

"When did you become so caring?"

"If something happens to you, I'm going to have to give a statement, that's a messy business. It's better to be safe than sorry."

"What's going to happen to me, it's daylight," I.M was genuinely making Jisoo laugh, something she hadn't done for a long time.

"Let's go then," she grinned.

First lesson; Biology.

Today, Biology was the lesson that Jisoo had been dreading the most because this was the one lesson of her day that Rosé wasn't in, meaning she was alone with Bobby.

"Class, today we'll be investigating mitosis in garlic root cells. You'll be working in pairs which I will decide according to the order of my register," said the teacher causing Jisoo to groan internally. That meant that there was a 99.9% chance that Jisoo would end up working alongside Bobby as his surname was also Kim and his forename Jiwon also began with the letter 'J'.

As the teacher began assigning partners to each person, Jisoo's stomach began to churn more and more the closer her name came.

"Jisoo, you'll be working with..."

Please anybody but Bobby, anybody but Bobby.

"...you'll be working with Bobby."

*****

An awkward silence blared between Jisoo and Bobby.

A million conversation starters sprinted through Bobby's head, but he wasn't sure how to initiate a conversation. It made it more awkward that both of them tried to keep a distance between each other, despite their elbows sometimes hitting each other.
