Jungkook wakes up as soon as his alarm clock goes off, 8:10 am. He dresses up quickly, throwing a black plain t-shirt, black ripped jeans and black boots. He thinks he just finds black amusing. He eats a good breakfast, for a moment he considers the Chinese he left last night but he decides against it, too heavy. His mother always tells him not to eat leftovers in the morning. For a couple of seconds, he misses his mother. But then he doesn't.

He looks outside the window. Clouds. It's going to rain again he's certain. He loves rain, except when he has to go outside. How ironic really, he only loves the rain in the best possible occasion and if that isn't the case he absolutely despises it. He thinks he knows love and he's probably the best hypocrite out all of them. Ironic. He leaves his flat and heads outside, 8:35, he has plenty of time. That's how he likes it, comfortable.

His professor Mrs. Kim is late as usual and Jungkook's checking his emails when he finally arrives expressing his apologies for the delay. Jungkook looks around, 13 students in total. No one ever comes to the morning lessons. He wonders why, it has always been his favorite. He knows, though, they all call him a nerd for not accepting to spend an hour more than he has to in this hole whose name is University and for working hard to achieve it. The class ends effortlessly and Jungkook starts picking up his stuff when the professor thanks for everyone's hard work towards the projects (hard work his ass) and announces a new round of assignments. Jungkook curses.

"This time is special, class. We will be having a collaboration with another department quite closely related to our own." Oh no. "Mr. Lay from Visual Arts department and I thought that a combination of two artistic minds which work differently must be interesting to watch. The pairings are already written outside the amphitheater. All you have to do is cooperate, find a way to connect your knowledge and sense, that is if you have any. The subject is to express your view on a certain feeling, but don't branch off. Don't let me down, kids. Come to me for more information. You have one month, no exceptions. Free to go"

Oh no

It's too damn soon for another project and his life sucks. Furthermore its a collaboration, with that department. As if he didn't put up with students from his own field. He signes and turned to leave but his professor stops him.

"Jeon," he says. "Come here kid I need to talk about something. "

Jungkook shivers.

"I saw your assignment and I must admit that it was extraordinary, it was very passionate". How could it be passionate? At least he's not. "So I'd like to know whether you'd agree if I publish it."

"Really?" Jungkook tries hard to look surprised and excited. "You could do that?"

"Well I'd love to," the professor says and it's genuine. "But, Jungkook this project was all yours, again."

Jungkook looks down, a little bit sad, and it's genuine.

"Why do you let this happen?"

"Unfortunate events" is Jungkook's only answer.

Mr. Kim signs loudly. "Well if I catch you again you will be receiving a decrease in your notes. I warn you."

"Yes, I understand." But he doesn't, why can't the professor let him be? He's better off alone, even when it comes to assignments, especially when it comes to assignments.

He walks away deep in thought when he notices a big crowd in the hall. Collaboration project.

Oh no

He gets closer and immediately finds his name between a hundred.

"Jeon Jungkook-Kim Taehyung."

What does that name remind him? Visual Arts department is just across the street and Jungkook can't seem to find the courage and the will, but he has to get in touch with his partner. He notices Jin.
