Unchained | Yoongi

Library

Sulgi was paired with the guy that asked me out, the one who Jiwoo liked, whose name I had forgotten already.

Today, we were given a few lessons so do some research on the topics we had been given. Yoongi and I received a topic that I found incredibly odd. It was on the history of gang activity in Korea.

We were in the school library along with quite a few other pairs. He just took a seat, leaned back, and stared at me.

"What are you doing?"

"Resting."

"We are supposed to be researching."

"Don't need to," Yoongi said. "I already know about it."

"I know a lot about gangs too," I said. "I mean, my father is in the security business. He's told me all about how he fights the crimes of the gangs. But I still need to do research."

He chuckled, "I'm sure I know more than you."

"How? What do your parents do then? Police chief? Private investigators firm?" There was no way that he would know more than me unless his family does those jobs. My father was the most knowledgeable person on such matters as he had to deal with it every day. He would always tell me since I was little that I should never tolerate these gangs for they do terrible things.

He just shook his head with a mysterious smile. His attitude was seriously getting on my nerve. "Why can't you just tell me instead of having that annoying smirk on your face?" I asked.

"Because I don't want to."

"And you question why I don't like you?"

He chuckled. "I'm not doing very well with the challenge, am I?"

"Nope. But don't worry, I don't expect to succeed anyway."

That session ended with me just doing all the research and him just watch me do it. I found out quite a bit about gangs in Busan, and especially about this powerful one called 'FIRE', and their leader had the surname Kim.

"FIRE? What an odd name for a gang," I mused. "It's like if I made a gang and called it 'WATER'."

Yoongi suddenly burst out laughing so hard that he almost fell off his chair. He did not even care when the other groups told him to shush.

"Oh Eunjung," he had to stop talking to catching his breath, "You are funny."

My brows furrowed. "It's wasn't that funny, was it?"

"Well it was to me," he said, wiping tears out his eyes.

"I heard you got on really well with Min Yoongi," Sulgi said when I was having lunch with her, Jiwoo, and the girls. "You guys were flirting so hard in the cafe and someone told me you made him laugh his head off in the library."

I sighed, "No, it was nothing like that. First of all, I did not flirt with him. Second, I have no idea why he burst out laughing in the library."

"Sure," she said, then discreetly gave me a wink.

"And I heard you got on well with that model guy in your group?" I said.

She nodded. "Yea, I did. We're basically best friends now."

"And remember what you have to do for our Jiwoo," I said.

"Of course," Sulgi said. "I have been casually dropping Jiwoo's name in our conversations."

Jiwoo looked down in sought embarrassment. "Ah ha... thank you."

"Sulgi what about you though?" I asked. "Anyone catching your eyes?"

Her eyes trailed to a table behind me. I did not even have to turn around to know that it was Min Yoongi's group's table. They were so loud the whole dining room could hear them.

"I have to say," Sulgi discreetly gave Yoongi a few more looks, "I am jealous of you, Eunjung."

I shook my head. "It's not good being in a pair with him. I had to do all the work. He doesn't do anything."

"But he's cute." Sulgi started, resting her head on her hand while daydreaming.

I chucked at my cute friend. She loved to watch romantic movies and always imagined herself as the main girl in them. I knew she had a good and innocent heart, and I would do anything for her not to get hurt. A while ago one of Min Yoongi's friends wanted to ask her out. I threatened him to refrain from doing so as I knew he was a player that would only break her heart.

"Min Yoongi is not the type of guy you should go for," I said. "I mean, so many girls throw themselves at him. Even if he is dating you, I'm sure he won't be able to stay loyal."

Sulgi pouted and proceeded to eat her lunch.
