Trouble Next Door

Trouble #3: The Devil

-- yoona's

"This can't be happening." I mutter to myself as I discreetly watch the two guys take a seat beside me. My row happens to be the only one that can occupy two more persons and since I'm a very lucky person, I get to be seated with the person I least expect to be my classmate.

"What an interesting person we have here." His tone is mocking and I'm so close to begging the person seated to my left to switch seats with me. "Oh, you aren't crying? You grew up too fast!" I turn to glare at him and I see Jimin shoot an apologetic look at me.

Why can't they control this devil they call their friend?

"Won't you get over it? You're like a child who keeps on talking about things that happened in the past." He must not have expected me to make a comeback as he looks so shock but his expression turns into an amused one in just a matter of seconds.

"Ooh, feisty. You sure know how to talk back, huh?" I roll my eyes heavenward. Can't this guy keep his mouth shut? I can't believe that he's going to be my seatmate for hours!

I didn't mind him and thanked the Gods present as I see the professor enter. He then looks at my seatmate – probably wondering why there is a new face here. My seatmate seemed to not mind – it's like he's so used to doing this.

"Jeon Jungkook?" The guy beside me raises his hand and the professor chuckles softly. "You do know that attendance is important in my class, right? You've got one strike and four more to go." Surprisingly, Jungkook didn't answer the professor back and when I looked at him, it seems like he has no plans of doing so.

I guess he still has respect for those people who are in higher positions than him.

The lecture starts and I scribble through my notes as he keeps on writing something on the board. His powerpoint presentations seem useless – he rarely uses them and the points on the board are usually more important than those on the screen.

I make a spelling mistake and I reach to my right to get my correction tape – but I found nothing. I look inside my pencil case but it's nowhere to be found. I remember taking it out before the lecture started but where did it go?

I also looked down to see if it is there but to no avail, it wasn't. I sigh – maybe I should go take a visit at the school's bookstore and buy a new one.

"Looking for this?" I look to my right and see Jungkook – with his infamous grin – holding my correction tape. I raise my hand to get it but he wouldn't let me get a grip of it as his hand moves higher and higher –

"Yes, Miss Im. Please answer the problem on the board." I snap my head towards my professor's direction and see that he has a scowl on his face. He probably saw us – but why am I the only who's going to be punished?

I throw daggers at Jungkook before sighing, and making my way towards the board. I study the problem for a second and luckily, I know the answer to it. Perks of studying in advance. My cousin's advices are surely ones that come handy especially now that I'm in my university years as well.
