4- Unstoppable Surprises

Jaykee

Thanks to this guy's hard work, it's almost time for Maths class. If I choose to lead Jungkook out safely, I will be late. As I'm still considering my next move, Jungkook's suggestion breaks the silences and eventually leads me out of my train of thoughts. "What if I study Maths with you," he must have heard me muttering, or else he won't know.

"Are you kidding?" I tilt my head to the side while he does the same with one of his eyebrows cocked. "I will get myself killed." Upon hearing the reason I've stated, Jungkook bursts into laughter as he hugs his abdomen and opens the washroom door. "Even since when I walk with you right now!" I don't mind whisper-shouting to him to emphasize the great consequences not for him, but me.

"I'm expected to attend classes in here. So why not?" Jungkook shrugs when I shoot him a speechless glare. "If you don't mind, I can lend you my mask." He says, handing me his black mask after turning it over to the other side. Without saying thank you, I snatch the mask away and quickly place it on my face before anyone manages to notice me. In the meantime, I also ignore Jungkook's snigger when I lead him the way towards the classroom.

In the end, my Math lecturer - Mr Heng welcomes him anyway. Indeed if Jungkook is not welcomed by the public, I will start to suspect about the originality of his career. Not only that, this young celebrity is also welcomed by the whole Foundation in Science students in the class while some of them eye me in jealousy.

Quickly, I take a seat which is reserved by Rose while Jungkook chooses a seat at the last row because he doesn't wish to become a distraction for students to focus on the lectures. But then, his phone rings, leading all visions towards him as he waves at all of us awkwardly. "Yoboseyo," after exiting the classroom through the back door, his distant voice is still audible as my ears betray me. Although I can hear murmuring Korean words spoken by him, his voice vanishes after he has walked away quite a far distance from where I am. Heaving out a sigh, I turn back to the lecturer and try to concentrate.

Not long after, Jungkook enters through the front door while he apologises at the same time. "I'm really sorry, my director called me just now." Seeing Jungkook standing in front of us and beside the lecturer is extremely hilarious in some point due to the height. However, most of us manage to hold back our laughs miraculously.

"It's alright." Mr Heng replies, his smile is as cordial as an old man's. Finally it is the moment which all of the students have officially listened to Mr Heng's lecture. As we are having two hours for today's class, drowsiness starts to accumulate bit by bit in my mind, mesmerizing me to sleep.

Besides, even Jungkook couldn't hold back a short snore before banging himself on the table and wakes up again. "Jusong hamnida(Sorry)," says Jungkook in his 'shook' face when all of our eyes are on him again. Some of the students can't help but titter under their breaths upon Jungkook's cuteness just now. He looks so adorable.

Unluckily, Mr Heng is not a K-popper. "I'm sorry?"

"He's telling you that he's sorry." One of my classmates corrects before winking at Jungkook and makes me mad unconsciously. Ironically, Jungkook winks back at the girl too, turning on my jealousy even more.

"Alright then, apology accepted. Remember not to do it again next time." Mr Heng says before the class is dismissed. Right now, the classroom is filled with busy noises which when students are packing their stuffs up before exiting the place. Yes, we will be having our lovely recess after these two hours of nightmare.

While following my pace towards the restaurant in the campus, Jungkook's phone rings once again. As we are almost reaching our destination, there are men and crews who are dressed casually walking in through the main entrance of the campus, where there are sets of glass doors lining up the place. His expression is as cold as stone when his gaze shoots towards us strongly. Jungkook, on the other hand, faces down while fiddling with his own fingers to avoid eye-contact with the pissed-off director.

"Jungkook," I call while looking up at him.

"Nei (Yes)?" He queries, waiting for me to answer.

"I wanna get your manager's signature, would he mind?" I ask as Jungkook starts bracing his chin to consider. Not long after, he nods but I can feel that he's pushing himself to say 'yes' to me, even though what he thinks is a 'no'. Similarly for me, Jungkook's own signature is the most wanted stuff I want right now, but in order to wipe off his director's anger, I have to disobey my own wish. As soon as we have met with a conclusion, we have reached Jungkook's director and the others who are in charge of this channel. The director narrows his eyes at the sight of me before turning his gaze back to the actor, asking him the reason of my appearance in Korean, which means that I won't understand them.

Jungkook's director glances at me occasionally when the teenager mentions me to him. Slowly, I notice the changes in his expression as the director seems to feel relaxed after hearing to Jungkook's explanation and sorries. In the end, he smiles at me and says, "Please wait." Then, he returns to the van parked outside. After a short while, he runs back towards us a pack of postcards. "This is a present from BigHit to you. Please take it." Happiness starts to overwhelm me as I suppress the urge to scream in joy before receiving the gifts with both hands. Simultaneously, my mouth shapes the simplest Korean words – 'kamsa hamnida' which means 'thank you' in a more polite way in Korean.

"Can I open it?" I ask excitedly as the director nods with another smile. Opening the envelope which is printed with BTS's group photos, I take out the postcards inside and have a quick look onto them. I'm so surprised that those cards are also illustrated with the all BTS member's handwritten signatures, indicating that my wish has come true without me noticing it happening.

"We will have our first shoot for the next episode for Jungkook's Reading Tour later. If you don't mind, I wish that you can be Jungkook's tour guide. In fact, you will be extremely well-paid," says the director confidently which will gain my trust upon his words. Nevertheless, being the one chosen to be Jungkook's tour guide is really an honour to me. Right now, I can't even control the bubbling happiness and surprises which make my heart skips a beat every time. Looking into the aspects of this case, I wish that I won't make mistakes in front of cameras or else it will be embarrassing.

"Well," I grab my fingers and feel the sweat getting my palms wet. "Can I ask for help from one of my friends in case I show you all the wrong way?" I ask sheepishly though I know that it is impossible for me to request in this circumstance.

"No problem. As long as your action leads us all around the place, you will be rewarded largely not only for your willingness to help but taking care of our little celebrity outside our watch." The director says, casting Jungkook an 'of course this is you' look in a somewhat funny way. Indeed, it's dangerous for him to roam the campus all by himself without being protected. Chaos might happen, even death sometimes when all the fans squeezes with each other in large crowds just to get to that only guy they fond of.

"Kamsa hamnida (Thank you), Mr Director," I bow politely and chuckle embarrassedly in the meantime. As the director hopes to have perfect shoots later, he has required us to have our lunch first before performing. So leaving Jungkook to deal with his own lunch, which is freshly prepared by the crews themselves, I run towards the awaiting restaurant – Grandma's Recipes, which is where I can meet my friend, Rose and discuss the issue with her. While having my tasty lunch there, I won't give up the opportunity to achieve acceptance together with that girl.
