Chapter 33

Jungkook woke up to the blaring sound of his phone and saw it was Jimin. He groggily swiped his thumb on the screen and put the phone to his ear. What could Jimin want in the middle of night?

"WAKE UP! YOU ARE LATE!" Jimin screamed through the device making Jungkook flinch.

"Late? Late for what?" Jungkook mumbled to himself as he pulled the phone away and rubbed his eyes to see the time displayed on his phone, clearly.

8.30 am

"It's only 8.30, Jiminie~. Let me sleep." Jungkook whined on the phone and was almost falling asleep again.

"SCHOOL STARTS AT 8, JEON! NOW GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP!"

"School? SCHOOL! SHIT!"

Jungkook bolted right up and threw his phone aside not caring if it fell down on the floor or not. He flipped the covers over him and jumped off the bed. He was not made to function in emergency so he couldn't decide what to do first. There was so much to do. He paced around in random movements unsure of where to start.

"Bathroom!"

He straightened up and rushed to the bathroom.

He had overslept since he was awake till late last night with everyone and now he was already half an hour late for his first class. It wasn't his habit of staying up late but still, he had been doing that a lot lately and now he was paying the price. Why didn't his mother wake him up as she usually did, was to be thought about later. He came out with toothbrush still in his mouth as he ran around his room grabbing stuff and shoving them in his bag and some under his arms. He quickly put on the necessary pieces of clothing and fixed them just enough so that they don't fall off. When he was done picking up stuff he stepped in the bathroom again to drop his toothbrush.

When he came out of his room in a disheveled state his mother only laughed at him. He had one arm of his shirt on, while the other hung on his back. His pants were buttoned but not zipped and the belt was swiped in the buckles but not closed up from the front. His socks were in his hands on top of his books. His bag was on his shoulder with things flowing out of them since it wasn't closed. His hair were messed up and toothpaste was tattooed on his face, graciously. This was to be expected since Jungkook never faced a situation of this sort before so he didn't know how to manage things when he's running late. This was the best he could do.

She wasn't mad at him for being late which was also something Jungkook would have found weird but right now he didn't have even a second to spare. He grabbed two toasts from the kitchen and held them in his mouth as he ran out after mumbling a 'vye vom' through his occupied mouth, on his way out.

Jungkook ran to his school and was just in time to reach to his second class. He was able to stuff his things in his bag on the way and free his hands so he fixed his dressing and was combing his hair with his fingers when he arrived. He had missed his first class already and that was a huge loss. He couldn't afford to miss the second one as well. When he reached the school, he saw Jimin standing outside for him. He approached him and stopped to catch his breath first.

Jimin smirked when he saw Jungkook running towards him and pushed himself away from the wall he was leaning on. Jungkook was, at the moment, bent slightly holding his knees in his hand as he panted. He took a moment before he straightened up only to see Jimin smirking at him.

"Why are you out here?" Jimin didn't answer.

It was then, that Jungkook noticed the school gate was closed. That could only mean one thing. Jimin was late as well and he was probably waiting for him to go in together.

"So, you were late too, I see! But why are the gates closed?"

Jimin burst out laughing at the question and was already doubling over as he held onto his stomach for his dear life.

Jungkook couldn't understand why was the gate closed and why was Jimin laughing? He just stood there hoping his brain could help him out somewhat but it seemed like his mind was still not fully functioning. So, he stood there waiting for his kind friend to end his craziness and enlighten him about the situation.

"Oh Kookie.." Jimin wiped his tears from his eyes and stood up straight to address the clueless boy in front of him.

"It's SATURDAY, you dolt!" And Jimin was laughing again.

Jungkook just blinked at Jimin unable to grasp the words until they sank in and finally Jungkook realized what was going on. He looked around and, surely, no one was there in school uniform except for the great Jeon Jungkook. Even Jimin was in his casual dress which Jungkook had not noticed since he was out of it at the moment.

Now that it was clear that Jimin had successfully made a fool of Jungkook, the younger one was able to guess the answers to his questions about his mother's behaviour this morning.

Jungkook took a glance at Jimin, who was still enjoying the moment, and narrowed his eyes as he took a deep breath and called his name.

"Jimin?" Said male stopped for a second to look at Jungkook and his breath hitched. Jimin could tell what was the meaning of the look on Jungkook's face. So, he didn't waste another second and zoomed away before he could be caught. In a blink of an eye, Jimin was on the run followed by Jungkook on his tail.

"Come back here you son of Satan!"

Jimin looked behind and poked his tongue out to his pursuer. Jungkook only picked up his speed and was almost able to catch Jimin but he was dodged very skillfully when the shorter boy took a sudden turn. Jungkook was not prepared for that so he missed his chance.

Since they both had a pretty good stamina, they played cat and mouse for a very long time. They still weren't tired when they stopped. Only slightly panting but not exhausted. They ran around for nearly twenty five minutes and felt very refreshed once they stopped. It had been a few weeks since they last worked out and it surely was amazing to feel the blood rushing through their veins, once again.

"Even though you were a total dick for doing that but I must say. It feels so good to burn some calories after two weeks of laying back." Jungkook said and Jimin grinned at that.

"You bet it does! So, what do you say? Wanna hit the gym, again?" Jimin asked as he sat down on the step of the house they were in front of.

"Yeah. I was thinking about that, too. Once we come back from the trip, let's do it." Jungkook said as he placed the bag aside and sat next to Jimin.

"Okay, cool!"

Jungkook's phone vibrated and when he pulled out to see who it was he paused for a moment. Jimin was looking far ahead but turned around when he saw Jungkook taking out his phone. Seeing Jungkook silently staring at his phone, Jimin snatched the device and opened the text only to give it back dejectedly.

"I thought it was something interesting."

"It is, actually. You just don't know." Jungkook said as he typed the reply and turned to Jimin who had an eyebrow raised.

"And what is it that I don't know?"

Jungkook smirked at that, knowing full well how Jimin was going to react when he would find out about Namjoon.

Jungkook told him everything thing he had known up until now and to say that Jimin was shocked would be the understatement of the century.

Jimin was holding his head in his right hand while the other was dangling over his pulled up knees. His eyes were wide open and plastered on the ground near his feet. He was searching for something he could say but he couldn't find any.

"You've got to be kidding me! That's just.. I can't even.. *sigh* Holy mother of Chinese dolls!"

Jungkook laughed at Jimin's reaction. The boy was out of words to describe what he felt about the shocking news. He had yet to see the video and Jungkook was sure that Jimin would be bestowing upon him his very beautiful vocabulary once he saw it. Just the thought of it made him giggle uncontrollably.
