My Delinquent Teacher: BOOK 2 || Jungkook [COMPLETED]

Chapter 3

I patiently waited for Jungkook's drowsiness to take over. A peaceful expression was plastered on his face and I couldn't help but smile. To even be in this situation will forever be a mystery to me, I thought. His grip around me loosened and I was able to wiggle free.

I stared down at his sleeping face. As much as I want to stay, this doesn't feel right, I thought. I fixed his messy hair before carefully climbing out of the bed. "Thank you.", I whispered.

I walked over to my folded uniform in the bathroom and proceeded to change back. Before exiting, I grabbed my notebook and ripped out a strip of paper. I should at least write a thank you note or something, I thought.

Thanks again for letting me stay here but I need to get back home. See you at school.

"I never asked him about missing school...", I said finishing the note. That's not important right now, I thought. I tucked the note underneath a water bottle sitting on the kitchen counter and slipped my shoes on. I looked back at Jungkook one last time and smiled. Maybe liking him won't be a bad thing..., I thought.

I creeped by the front door and carefully pulled a spare key from under the mat. I slowly inserted the key and turned the knob as quietly as I could. To my surprise, Naeun was still up. She paused her movie and motioned for me to sit down.

I quietly set my bag on the counter and sat beside her. "What're you doing here? I thought you were spending the night at Jungkook's?" I didn't want to tell her the details so I just shrugged. "It just felt wrong for me to be there." Naeun nudged me in the shoulder. "Did you two do something? Is that why?"

My face started burning. "Don't get any ideas! Of course we didn't do anything..."
"Why are you getting so red? I just asked a question."
"Naeun, please."
"Alright. I'm sorry."
"...Did mom and dad say anything?"
"I didn't tell them."
"You WHAT?"
"You know they'd freak out if I told them."
"So you lied about me being out so late?"
"I just said you were sleeping at Mina's... But now that you're here..."
"...I'm fine. As long as they never find out I was at Jungkook's place."

"YOU WERE AT JUNGKOOK'S PLACE!?" My dad rushed down the stairs followed by my mom. Of course!, I thought. Both of them were fuming with anger and I was frozen with fear. I glanced at Naeun who was surprisingly calm. She patted my back for comfort and stood up. "Calm down. It's not a big deal."

"YOU don't get to tell us to calm down." My dad pointed at the kitchen table. "I want both of you here, RIGHT NOW." My older sister sighed and I had no choice but to follow. My dad was never one to show anger, but at times like this, I never risked it.

We all silently sat across from each other and my mom broke the silence. "Somin, explain. Why are you coming home from a boys place at this time?" What was I supposed to say? That I passed out in front of a downtown apartment and slept in my supposed enemy's bed for five hours? They would never believe me so my only defense was silence.

"There's no reason for you to be out this late. NEED I REMIND YOU, your curfew is 9 pm." My dad's foot tapping increased in speed. "You're getting too involved with boys and it had to be one that's known for fighting. He's a dangerous boy and I forbid you from meeting him." Is he being serious?, I thought.

I was about to respond but Naeun beat me to it. "You're NOT ruining Somin's first chance at a relationship." My dad raised an eyebrow. "And you're the supposed expert in relationships now? Miss Naeun, 24, unemployed, AND divorced." Naeun's eye twitched and she slammed a fist on the table. "You stay out of my personal life, dad. I know I disappointed you, but don't take this out on Somin."
"Somin should know better than to fall for a bad influence."

I couldn't just and do nothing. Naeun's voice quivered and my dad's face grew redder by the minute. "That's enough..." I looked at my dad. "Dad, I'm sorry to disappoint you..." He clenched his jaw and my mom sighed. "Somin, you know things won't end up like you hope. Why are you doing this?"

I knew the reason why. I realized Jungkook wasn't the ill mannered delinquent I made him out to be. He was kind, lovable, and managed to break down all the walls I continuously built between us. I liked Jungkook. I liked him so much, and my parent's opinion wasn't enough to deter me from liking him.

But when it comes to love, there are always dangers ahead. I didn't realize giving your all to someone after becoming so vulnerable would have its repercussions. Needless to say, heartbreak was on its way.
