KISS ME, JUNGKOOK + JK

Chapter Fifteen

Kiss Me, Jungkook:

D-Day

The day of exams, in my definition- my death. I spent my night sleeping and waking up in the middle of the thinking whether I should study or just predict what will happen to me when I wake up the following day. Of course, I just cried myself to sleep last night.

"Sora! Wake up!" My mom pulled me out of my bed, determined that I would actually pass my exams today.

"Your exams start at 8!" She yelled at me and I woke up, sitting on my bed as she quickly folded my blankets and arranged my pillows.

"Don't wash your hair!" She said leaving me alone in my room. For my mom, she thought that washing your hair could wash all the knowledge out. What? She's Chinese.

My mom has a tradition that she does every time someone has an important day or even to take place and when she does, nobody stops her. My mom is so Chinese.

"Eat this." She cooked me some noodles, having noodles for breakfast on exam day is an important element since noodles mean "everything goes smooth" in Chinese.

She also gave me slices of apples beside the noodles which pronunciation of apple in Chinese is "ping guo" which also means "safety" so it's considered that you will safely pass the exam

She made me drink chicken essence it's supposed to help your concentration, I don't even know why.

"Also, change your underwear to this." She took out a blazing red underwear. Red is widely believed to be a lucky colour in China. So many believe that it's a good idea to wear some red clothing, or more specifically red underwear, during an exam.

"What's this?"

"Good luck, of course. Hurry up!"

I was trying to scan my notes on the bus but I eventually gave up because it was hard to read notes on a very crowded bus. Just as I was putting back my notes in my bag I felt my phone buzz in my pocket.

Breathe in and breathe out. My anxiety for exams grew bigger when I entered high school. Everything was to be done with pressure and if you don't add in pressure you're doing it wrong. I sometimes think why I need to be pressured in doing things I don't want to do, just because this is high school it doesn't mean I have to be a completely different person.

I vent a lot I'm sorry.

"Relax, Sora. Relax." I said to myself as I slowly walk to my classroom.

"Peanuts!" I turned around and saw Jungkook running towards me.

"Don't you have exams too? What are you doing here?"

"Yeah, I just wanted to see you first. Good luck." He gave me a big smile and laughed.

"You too." I said. He leaned closer to my face, biting his lips and pushed my hair behind my ear. What is he doing? Is he trying to make me fail on purpose?
