Jungkook's POV:

I walk my way to English, taking slower steps. I hate Ms.Kim and I hate what we learn. It isn't useful. Namjoon is amazing at English. I must learn his secret. I look over to my right and see someone going towards the languages corridor, dragging along Min-Ji. It must be none other than Ji-Young.

"Jungkook-ah, look that Ji-Young girl you tease. What happened to her?" Jimin asks.

"Yeah Jungkook, she got... well, thin. You can't tease her anymore. She's even kinda cute." Namjoon points out.

"Trust me hyungs, I can still tease her. It still annoys her and I still think it's funny so I will carry on" I laugh. She is cute when she is angry. Ji-Young is different from other girls. She is straight up with me and doesn't act all stupid around me. I like that. Kinda sexy.

The class starts to make their way through the door into Ms.Kim's classroom. The boys and I walk in just as the bell rings again. I take a seat just in front of Ji-Young, this time unintentionally. I look back at her. She is looking down at her notebook, her dark brown fringe falling into her eyes. She has tied her long hair into a messy bun on the top of her head. She never wears makeup, maybe CC cream but that is it. Her face is small and proportional with big eyes, and a small upturned nose. She was known for being fat with a cute face, but over today, I have heard guys calling her the new cute girl, some even saying she was hot and their type. Some people didn't even recognise her. I'd say she lost at least 20kg, perhaps more. She used to look so squish-able but now she is not so much. She still has curves unlike the other twigs in here, but she isn't chubby anymore. It will be harder to tease her, but instead, I could be more flirty. She has some prudish tendencies so I can tell it will easily piss her off. 

The teacher starts the lesson and I am forced to look back at the teacher instead of plotting how to annoy her.

I take out my plain black notebook, pencil, highlighter but no pen. Ugh I left it in Maths. There is no chance any of my hyungs have spares so this is the perfect time to talk to her.

"Ji-Young-ah, lend me a pen." Without looking up, she hands me a pen. It's very girly but nice. I wait for a second, look down at her colourful notes in French and take the pen. "Thanks". God, she is talented. Fluent in two languages and learning another. Aigoo. Just thinking about that all hurts my head.

For once in my life, I pay attention to the lesson, unlike Yoongi who is fast asleep on his desk. It makes me laugh. I hear whispers behind me from Mina and Ji-Young. Mina seems to be talking about Chen, Baekhyun, and Kai once again. I hear whispering from next to me towards Mina and Ji-Young. "Ji-Young-ah, do you have a sharpener?"

"Ah, why does everyone want my stationary" she fiddles through her pencil case " Seriously, I thought better of you Taehyung Oppa" she giggles. TAEHYUNG OPPA! This is unacceptable... oh my God I need to stop.

Ji-Young's POV:

I laugh as Taehyung Oppa takes my sharpener. He should be more organised. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Jungkook tense up. Hmmm.. I wonder what's wrong? Wait. Why should I care?

"Now class, as you know we have looked at some Shakespeare. In pairs, you are going to do some acting work, speaking in English and presenting a scene from your pre-chosen play." Everyone sighs. Jungkook's hand goes straight up. " Yes, Jungkook?"

"Can we at least choose our pairs." he says, I can hear his smile forming. I roll my eyes, questioning why he even showed up to class this once. Usually he skips lessons such as English, Korean and Science to go and smoke on the roof with some of his friends, who also happened to be in this class. 

This is the odd thing about our school; they mix this class with people of different ages. Other schools kept it completely fixed around age, yet our school focused on ability. Though this one lesson, Foreign Langauge-English, was completely mixed, not based upon age nor ability. This was done so we could receive help from everyone, learning new things from our elders and passing it down to the younger ones. It was confusing and I hoped that soon they would change the system. Yet that would mean being away from Taehyung Oppa. I don't want that!

((I did this whole class being mixed on ability thing so we could have some older characters in scenes that they wouldn't be able to be in if classes were fixed upon age. It may be confusing but just go along with it. ))

"I already thought of that, and for the reason of 1) getting the work done as some of you struggle in this lesson and 2) to bring some change, I have decided the pairs too" everyone groans, including myself. "They will be mostly opposite gender pairs but we do have more boys than girls so there may be some only boy groups. Now the pairs are...".

"Please, can we choose Miss?" Taehyung says. Ms. Kim loves Taehyung so he is our best chance.

"Ani Taehyung. Anyway Chae-Young and Baekhyun. Twelfth Night. Gyeong Ji and Woozi. Macbeth. Min-Ji and Chen. A Midsummer Nights Dream." Min-Ji let out a small squeal and smiled at Chen who smiled back. Ms.Kim rolled her eyes "Jackson and Namjoon. Hamlet. Yoongi and Hoseok. Macbeth. " she paused and looked around. Choosing the last few pairs.

"Ji-Young and..." Please be Taehyung oppa, please. "Ji-Young and Jungkook" I slid down my chair and pouted. Jungkook turned to face me.

"You're stuck with me, baby" Jungkook turned and raised an eyebrow while clicking his tongue. Taehyung elbowed him in the rib making Jungkook flinch. "Yah, Hyung stop abusing me!"

"Ms. Kim please don't..." I protested. Ms.Kim cut me off.

" Well Jungkook and Ji-Young, since you two seem very friendly and also want to interrupt me how about you two do... Romeo and Juliet." Oh, my God, it's my worst nightmare. "Yes, you should do the balcony scene." The whole class burst into laughter. Hoseok and Yoongi laughed over all the others. "Well, Mr.Min and Mr.Jung, you seem to want to do Romeo and Juliet as well. Yoongi you will play Juliet in the balcony scene." This made the class laugh even more. Yoongi slipped down his chair covering his face. Hoseok was just paused in place, utterly shocked. She carried on cheerily.

"Jimin and Sun Bi. Twelfth Night. And finally Taehyung and Ji-Eun. Midsummer Nights Dream." Why did my Taehyung end up with beautiful Ji-Eun? Jungkook and Ji-Eun are great friends, they would do well.

Could this day get any worse!
