03 - "lady."

Namjoon, Jimin and I were currently sitting in class; getting taught a lesson that honestly seemed absolutely pointless and utterly life sucking...

"How about... Jungkook?"

The teacher suddenly called on me, irrupting my thoughts while holding a piece of chalk in his hand, definitely gesturing for me to answer the question on the board.

I didn't bother sassing back, he already got enough of that from all of the other rebellious jerks in the room I might as well give him a break...

I stood up from my seat and approached the board, taking the piece of chalk from Mr. Charleston's hand before writing down the answer without a word.

Once I was finished I headed back to my seat.

"That is... Correct, Jungkook."

"I told you." Jimin nudged Namjoon, Jimin earning an eye roll from Namjoon as he changed his answer.

Hoseok and I take the same engineering class, he was always working beside me as we tinkered with broken machines...

"So,"

Hoseok began over the loud sounds of drills and metal work, ignoring the emotionless expression I sported while working.

"I overheard a conversation with Luke and Dax."

"...Oh, yeah? What about?"

"Well, as you know, Dax works with reporting the weather conditions outside to Toby before he heads out."

"Uh-huh." I pulled down my mask helmet before drilling into a part of a machine, the neon orange sparks flying into the air before disappearing onto the ground.

"As it turns out, the weather seems to be getting hotter by a little everyday by the looks of it."

"That so?" Each response to Hoseok was plain, as if I wasn't interested in the conversation at all; it wasn't a lie, I wasn't that into it...

"Yeah, they're gonna start sending two people at a time now if the weather keeps up to next month..." I suddenly perked up at the information, pushing my helmet up.

"What?"

"Yeah. Crazy, right? The weather is too dangerous for one person to go alone. They also mentioned something else... what was it? Something about... uh. Oh! Yeah, a bear!"

My eyebrows furrowed, the interest turning to 'what-the-hell-does-this-have-anything-to-do-with-a-bear' look.

"It was apparently different from what the pictures showed, said it had some sort of deformity." Hoseok then pulled his helmet down, going to work on his piece.

"Huh..."

I thought for a second, then disregarded it for it was seriously such a useless topic to think about.

"Hey! Jungkook, right?" Some male student to my right suddenly yelled over the noise. Having blonde hair, brown eyes and an eyebrow piercing; his looks definitely standing out.

"Yeah?"

"Aren't you the son of the Overseer?"

Jungkook stayed silent, looking to his project then back to the guy, not knowing what to do.

"... Who wants to know?"

"... You just- you just look f-familiar is all. Sorry." The guy suddenly seemed nervous, looking back to his work and acting as if he didn't engage in the conversation in the first place...
