"How's my favourite little fire bender and her loser friends doing?" The obnoxious intruder spoke smugly as he sat down between me and Baekhyun, receiving questioning eyebrows from the latter.

"Jungkook." I attempted to scold him off, but was quickly silenced by his lips on mine.

The table all burst out into the same, loud groans, making Jungkook grin even wider. 

"I know that you guys have been dating for like two months already, but I don't think I'll ever get used to it." Krystal  mumbled as Yuta shot daggers into Jungkook's direction, his nostrils flaring.

"I agree it wouldn't hurt if you'd... Refrain from touching Gabrielle in every kind of way. It's slightly unsettling." Baekhyun sighed as he put his book down. "Besides, it's obvious Gabrielle doesn't appreciate it. I mean, look at her," He paused to gesture at my slightly uncomfortable expression. "She looks like she'd like nothing more than to disappear through the floor and disappear from the canteen."

To be honest, he wasn't far off. Ever since coming back to Lantford - almost two months ago - Jungkook wouldn't leave me alone. He'd press a kiss on my lips any chance he got, placing his needy hands on any curve he could get them on. It was safe to say he was definitely the more clingy and affectionate one in the relationship. Unsurprisingly, this came as a huge shock for the students at Lantford, who had always seen Jungkook as the academy's player. His 'girlfriends' would never last longer than a week, but here he was, never leaving my side and showing everyone we were a couple. 

The attention, glares and stares I received from the students kind of unsettled me. I had wanted to keep a low profile, but this didn't really help with achieving that. Luckily, they did keep their distance, which probably had to do with the fact there'd always be a member from BTS around me. Especially Yoongi had adopted the new habit of walking me to dinner after our tutorials for some reason, and Hoseok loved to join our table during lunch - which I assumed was because of Krystal's presence. And even on the rare occasion this wasn't the case, Yuta made sure no one would pester me. Not even Hyuna had dared to do anything other than glare at me and talk nasty things behind my back. For that, I was thankful.

Still, it worried me that everyone now knew who I was, my name, where I was from, everything. Well, so they thought, but I wasn't that low-profile anymore. It would only be a matter of time before someone could find out.

"That's why I love doing it." Jungkook shrugged nonchalantly before taking a spoon of my cereal and working it away.

"Jungkook." I sighed again, hopeless with the situation.

"Yeah, babe?" He asked with his mouth full, earning a roll of Yuta's eyes.

"Never mind." I sighed, shoving my untouched bowl of cereal towards him.

I couldn't help but smile as I watched Jungkook finish the sloppy coco-pops while Yuta continued to call him out for a pig, earning giggles from Krystal. Baekhyun merely shrugged at the familiar scenario before averting his attention to his book. 

I was honestly happy with this life.

The past two months had been busy, but enjoyable, nevertheless. 

I had been spending much hours at the BTS mansion, training and developing my skills. I now knew how to control my lightening, was able to fly higher than Taehyung the other day, successfully build a small shed in their backyard using earth bending, explored the spirit world together with Hoseok, and often overthrew Jungkook with my kicks and punches.

If I wasn't busy training, I'd either be studying for exams, writing reports, or hanging out with Yuta, Krystal and Baekhyun. 

The past two months flew by because of that.
