surrounded by mean boys ¦ jeon jungkook

One, two, three drops. There goes her tears cascading down her cheeks. Hyemin didn't want to cry and get called a cry baby by others, she really didn't want to. But the rumor hit her like a hurricane and she wasn't able to control her tears that dropped without any warning.

Hyemin wiped her face, hiding her tears from the people in the class. What would they say if they saw her crying in the class? Rumors these days spread like wild fire; most importantly, the bad ones.

"Hyemin?" Jungkook's voice called out upon the fight between herself and her tears.

For a while, Hyemin thought of throwing herself into Jungkook and cried in his arms. And she swore it would be the first and last time that thought hit her mind, because it was just plain ridiculous and random. Jumping on someone who hates you and cry in his arm was just ironic.

"Are you crying?" He asked, cocking a brow.

"No, no I'm not." Hyemin replied, but it was obvious from how shaky her voice was.

"Follow me to the rooftop." Jungkook demanded coldly and strolled out of the class without waiting for Hyemin to even get up from her seat.

Hyemin shrugged and stood up from her seat, just to realize those few drops of hot tears had wet her skirt. Great, now they would think that she had just peed on her skirt.

Jungkook was nowhere to be found the moment she stepped out from the classroom, he had probably arrived at the rooftop by now.

"What now?" Hyemin asked when she found Jungkook leaning against the railing.

The weather was annoyingly windy, and Hyemin totally hated it. The wind just made every strands of her hair flew in every direction, looking like an octopus's tentacles.

"You can stop holding it back now." Jungkook spoke, his back still facing Hyemin.

Confused, Hyemin took a step closer to him, "Hold what?"

Jungkook turned around and let out a small chuckle. He knew what happened, including Hyemin who tried hard to hide her tears from flowing down. He was behind her all the time, pretending like he did not care about the rumors and Hyemin who was suffering from the bully.

"Your tears," his tone became deeper, and his smile was no longer found on his face.

Hyemin felt her feet stuck on the ground, not realizing drops of tears had roll down her cheeks. She couldn't understand the reason why Jungkook was doing this. She thought he hates her, but why was he telling her to stop holding back her tears?

Giving her a last cold stare, he walked pass her and left the rooftop.

Hyemin wiped the tears off her face, turning towards the door that was shut tightly,"Jeon Jungkook... You're impossible."

Hyemin's POV

"What? A group assignment?" I asked, pushing the books into my bag and slammed the locker shut.

Jin nodded; sliding a hand into his pocket as he started to make his way out with me following him from behind.

"During the first two periods, the three of you are missing. By three of you, I mean you, Jungkook and Yoongi. That's how you guys ended up in one team. Mrs. Kim was furious about it." Jin shrugged.

That was my first time skipping classes... Believe it or not. I knew it wasn't a good thing to do, even though I had never enjoy studying nor going to school. Escaping was just not my thing. But today, just for today, I wanted to ignore that rule and stay at the rooftop for the whole day.

"I see, thanks for informing me, Jin." I smiled.

Jin shook his head, "No problem. Oh, I'm going this way. See you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow." I waved at him until he was no longer in sight.

Cold weather, shitty mood. Those were the signs that I had to go home as soon as possible and lay on my bed for the whole day. Listening to playlists of songs, or maybe take a short nap. Anything to make myself feel better.

"Hey, the girl with the blue bag."

I immediately stopped my track. Girl and blue bag, she was definitely calling for me. I slowly turned to where the voice came from, just to see a group of terrifying girls looking at me with fierce glances.

"Come with us."
