3 | He Strikes Again

"You're not very easy to forget."

•••

"You're that boy."

Why do I feel kind of happy to see him?

"Looks like I found you faster than I had hoped." He smiled.

"Huh?"

"Ah, nothing. Y/N, right?"

Wait. What?

"How do you know my name?" I raised my eyebrow at him, a little concerned. I was oblivious to the fact that the bus driver had scolded everyone out loud, telling everyone not to press the bell if you're not getting off.

He chuckled and shook his head. "When we were at the restaurant that day, your friend called you by what I assumed was your name. Oh, I'm also very sorry for what happened that day. I was really late for meeting up with my brothers so I was in a rush and I happened to bump into you." He scratched the back of his head. "I'm kind of clumsy sometimes."

He's so cute, what the FU-

"I hope you can forgive me."

I blinked a couple of times before responding.

"O-oh. Don't worry about it, seriously. It could have been much worse." I tried my best to smile but honestly, it didn't feel as if I was pulling it off at all.

"Very true. I'm glad it wasn't worse. Who knows what your friend would have done to me." He chuckled causing me to do the same.

He then extended his hand out. "Where are my manners? I'm Jungkook."

I hesitated a bit before reaching my hand out to shake his. "Nice to meet you Jungkook. As you already know, I'm Y/N."

"Pleasure to finally formally meet you too, Y/N." He took his hand back and began to converse with me. "Where are you headed anyways?"

"Oh I'm actually headed to sch-" My eyes shot open as I came to a realization that I had missed my stop. I started muttering to myself. "No no no no. This can't be happening right now." I groaned out of annoyance. I pressed the bell again to get off the next stop.

"What's wrong?" Jungkook asked before giving me a concerned look.

"I'll tell you what's wrong. I missed my stop. I'm gonna be late to school now for sure." I crossed my arms and looked out the window.

"Well, it never hurts to be late once and a while." He responded nonchalantly.

"Uh. It does if you've never been late in your life. I have a perfect attendance."

He stuck both his hands up in the air as if he were caught doing something wrong.

"Well, sorry Ms. I have a perfect attendance. How was I supposed to know that?"

I rolled my eyes and shook my head before standing up. "Do you mind if I get through? I have to get off soon." He slowly got up from his seat, allowing me to pass by before sitting back down and turned in his seat to look towards me as I held onto a pole. "I know this sounds very straightforward but uh, can we keep in touch somehow?"
