The Blind Date Vkook/Taekook

Chapter Six

(Jungkook's POV)

So far my day is just "great". I mean wow how lucky I am to get assigned to the one person I didn't want to deal with right now...or ever.

I can feel his eyes on me. I know he's staring at me. I really can't deal with this right now.

I wish he would stop.

How am I supposed to deal with someone who's staring at my face like a predator stalking its prey.

A drop of sweat rolls down my face from my forehead to my cheek. I wipe it off.

I need to do something about this.

"Look, I really don't want to be here so if you leave me alone and just do the assignment that'd be great." I say. He looks disappointed. I suddenly feel a pang of guilt in my chest.

No I didn't mean it. I take it back. Don't look so sad.

I don't have the guts to tell him that I want him to continue making me feel like his whole world with his stare. Okay, I seriously need to calm down we have an assignment that needs to get done.

I take a deep breath and mentally calm myself. Snap out of it! I repeat in my head as some sort of mantra.

"The partners I have assigned to you will be the people you will be writing a research paper about a certain country with." Namjoon says.

He continues "You can pick any country but you will need to collaborate and if I notice that a partner has done more work than the other partner. You'll get an F, got it. It needs to be a minimum of 10 pages and it's due in 3 weeks. I'll give you the outline when you leave, but for now talk about what country you'll pick, GOOD LUCK!"

Everyone groans as expected.

Oh this is gonna be hell.

"What country do you wanna pick?"I say as politely as I can, Taehyung stays silent.

"Hey you alright?" I ask. Still nothing. Hmmm weird.

" Answer me." I almost yell.

"I thought you wanted me to leave you alone." he says looking sullen.

"That's not what I meant, come on it's a partnership for a reason." His eyes light up and I blush.

"Okay so can we do our paper on South Korea then?" he asks excited.

"Sure."

I can't hide the blush forming on my face. Luckily, he's too focused on the paper to notice my tomato of a face. How embarrassing.

We spent the rest of the period talking about the research paper and I actually had a lot of fun just talking to him. Our conversation flowed perfectly even though we're not that close. There were no awkward pauses or rushing for things to say. Did I mention that I love his laugh. It's a wholehearted rich laugh that tickles my eardrums and makes me feel all warm inside like the idiot I am. Smiling ear to ear over some guy's laugh. There must be something wrong with me.

Next period is Chemistry with Jin. I hope we don't do any work, I'm not in the mood to do work. But when am I ever in the mood to do any work?

Jin's at his desk working on something so I decide to leave him alone and just quickly sit at my desk and wait for his instructions. Taehyung sits at the back and stares out the window. Does he just stare at everything? Like seriously. It's like he doesn't know the power of his gaze. It's frightening honestly.

"Today is a free period so do whatever you want but don't get up or make too much noise I'm very busy." Jin says tiredly. He has deep bags under his eyes and I can tell he hasn't slept in a while. I know I shouldn't bother him but I really want to know what's wrong.
I get up and walk to his desk.

"You okay Jin you look tired?"

"Huh." he looks up at me confused.

"Oh I'm fine I just have a lot of work to do and I didn't have time yesterday to do it, don't worry about me."

"Okay." I say unsure and walk back to my desk. It's so loud in here, typical high schoolers. Can't they give Jin a break?

I look over to Taehyung and see that his friends have scooted over to him and have begun talking to him. He looks happy. Jimin comes up to me with a big smile.

"Hi Jungkook."

We began talking and by the end of the period I realized just how much Jimin liked to talk about his boyfriend Suga. I yawned after the 20th time of Jimin telling me how much of the blanket Suga steals. Why am I friends with Jimin again?

Ring! Which signaled the end of 2nd period. I Walked to my next class in the hopes of a more eventful period. Maybe one where Jimin isn't talking about Suga. But to no avail.

School ended and while walking to my dorm I realized that I was out of face wash and needed to buy some at the pharmacy.

I rushed home, grabbed some money and went to the pharmacy near the school. I walked in and went to the face wash section. I heard footsteps enter the store and I looked over to see Taehyung walk in. He notices me and starts to walk up to me.

Can I just die right now please?
