Thursday

Cloe's POV

"I can't believe you convinced me to do this."

A whine left my lips while I lied my head on Ley's shoulder.

"Shut up, you'll thank me afterward."

And with that, I felt the sadly familiar pain in my ribs caused by my best friend's lovely elbow caressing my side.

I was so tired, I could barely keep my eyes open. I barely slept and the bag on my back dragged me down with its weight.

"When does this damn bus arrive?"

Jimin whined next to Ley and did the same as I on Taehyung's shoulder but the purplish orange haired boy was busy annoying the shit out of Jungkook with some stick he had found at the bus station.

Fifteen minutes later the bus finally arrived and the students squeezed in, everyone excited about the trip.

"I already regret this."

Ley pushed me inside the bus, making me scoff as I walked down the aisle.

"Where do you want to sit?-"

turning around, I saw Jimin already pulling Ley down to sit next to some students from their philosophy class. She gave me an apologizing look as I shrugged it off.

I was about to head for Taehyung but he was already sitting next to Jungkook. There was an empty seat on the opposite of them but I'd rather sit alone than seeing Jungkook. I wasn't really mad at him anymore but still his presence bothered me in some way.

I decided to seat alone next to the window at the beginning of the bus since everybody wanted to sit at the back, like the cool kids they were.

I took my phone out to listen to some music to ignore my surroundings. I set the volume at the highest and slipped my hood over my messy hair so it would cover me as much as possible.

Since we were trying to avoid getting stuck in the center of Seul, the bus took a route around the city. Beautiful landscapes were passing by, contrasting to Seoul's gray jungle of cement.

After some time I noticed someone sitting in front of me. Pulling up my hood for a little I recognized the person as Jungkook.

I let my eyes scan him from head to toe. He wore gray sweatpants and a black puma hoodie. His timberlands had some dirt on them and his black earrings matched perfectly with his dark eyes. His brown hair just fell lazily onto his forehead.

I could see his lips moving, probably saying something to me but I couldn't find myself caring and continued to listen to the music through my earphones.

However, my harmony was destroyed by a finger tapping my thigh, causing my hand to stretch out and push it away.

"What?"

He cocked his head tot he side, staring at me with his deep brown eyes, causing me to lower the volume on my phone.

"I just wanted to ask you how you feel."

"Like you care"

As soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted them, knowing Jungkook wouldn't let go of it.

"What?"

He now leaned closer to me which annoyed me even more.

Stop acting like you care.

"I'm perfectly fine."

I answered now a bit louder and looked back out of the window.

"Are you sure?"
