Jeon Jungkook

I opened the door and was greeted by my mom and dad. "Hi son." my dad patted my back. My mom kissed my cheek. 

"There's some curry left for you. You're mother told me that you walked someone home, who is it?" my dad asked. 

"I walked Kim Taehyung home." I said.

"Kim Taehyung? You mean that prodigy?" His eyes lit up. 

I nodded, "Yes, the prodigy." I sighed, and took out a bowl of curry. 

"That's wonderful! You're friends with a prodigy!" my dad cheered. 

I sighed. "Do you think he can help you inflate your grades?" my dad asked. 

"I'm not sure..." I said quietly. 

"Come on~ Surely he can help you, right?" my dad pressed on the topic. 

My grades in school weren't the best. It was a B+ to C+ average, while Taehyung's grades were a A++ average (an exaggeration, but I heard that he had a 4.5 GPA average). 

"I'll ask him. I'm not just not sure if he is willing to help me though, since he has extracurricular stuff." I said. At least I was smart enough to know what the hell those are. My little brother came into the room and flopped onto the table.  

"How's project coming along, lil bro?" I ask him through mouthful of curry. 

"Chew chew swallow. Don't talk with your mouth full Jeon Jungkook." My mom scolded. 

I swallowed my curry and waited for my lil bro to answer. He was doing a project on WWII, more specifically, he was doing a timeline project about the major battles and attacks. 

"It's going pretty well, I only need to print out a picture of Pearl Harbor, then I'm done." He said while his face was squished onto the table. 

"Want me to print it out for you?" I asked. 

"Sure, thanks. I haven't glued anything down yet... I'm still debating on whether or not I need more specific info and time about the attacks." he sighed. 

"Can't you find out about that in books and online?" My mom asked. 

"I could if the books and internet didn't stray away from the topic and throw something else at my face. I tried to scan and search for that info in biographies, encyclopedias, and the freaking internet, but nothing came up." He whined. I finished my curry and placed the bowl in the sink. 

"Do you want me to call someone over who might know the topic?" I asked. 

"If he's a WWII soldier, I don't think that he can help." my lil bro mashed his face into the table. 

"Don't do that, you'll break your nose." I scolded. 

"Sorry." He lifted his head and had an imprint of the marble surface on his cheek. 

"He isn't a soldier, but he is a big nerd." I said.

"Jungkook." My dad scolded before leaving the kitchen to go into his office. 

"Sorry, he's a prodigy at my school." I rolled my eyes as my mother left to follow my father, leaving me and lil bro in the kitchen. 

"You mean Kim Taehyung?! The Kim Taehyung?!" My lil brother perked up and bounced in his seat. 

"Yes... him... you know him?" I raised an eyebrow. 

"Heck yea! He's the student that invented that device to test the water to see if there was any toxins in it, has a 5.0 GPA, wrote an entire article in a magazine about how the religious point of view of how the universe was created was related to the scientific point of view, and performed at a concert as a stand-in for one of the band's members!" he bounced. 

"Hey, you're gonna break the chair if you keep doing that." I scolded. 

"Still!!! HE'S REALLY SMART!!!" He shouted. 

I winced and rubbed my ears. If Kim Taehyung did all of that... why would he be living in the countryside instead of a rich neighborhood like mine? Did he do something with the money? Or is he living there because of his grandma? As I thought about Taehyung's living arrangement, my lil bro was dancing around the room chanting, "Please bring him here!" 

I rolled my eyes, "Fine. I'll bring him over. Just don't do anything stupid ok?" I said. 

"I promise!" He smiled before running up to his room. I sighed. I headed up to my own bedroom and took out my homework. My phone was buzzing with messages from Jimin-hyung. 

"Jungkook! I need help!"

I typed back, "What is it?"

"I need you help to woo someone!"

"Woo?" 

"Yes! I need your help to make someone like me back! I really like this one person and he's the coolest and I really adore him! He's always sleepy though, so I'm never able to go up to him and talk since he's always sleeping somewhere, but when he is awake he's always with Taehyung and talking about some crap that my poor brain can't comprehend!"

"Is it Suga?"

"Yes."

"Just talk to him."

"I can't! He's always sleeping or talking about some weird nerd stuff I can't understand!" 

"Study it."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Too creepy, Jungcock."

"Oi."

"Oi shmoi... listen... please help me, I really like him!!!"

"*sigh* fine"

"Yay!"

"I'm gonna study."

"o-O (⊙_⊙) WhO aRe YoU aNd WhAt HaVe yOu dOnE tO JuNgKoOk?!" 

"I'm still me, I just want to study."

"y?"

"Cuz"

"( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )"

"Wat?"

"Does Jungkookie like someone smart?"

"... None of your business."

"Awwww.... Jungkookie likes someone!!! (♡ >ω< ♡)"

"Shut up hoe"

"RUDEEE!!! (○口○ )"

"Go away"

"(ΦωΦ^)"

"Stop, i won't help you win Suga's heart."

"Ah sorry! I'll leave you alone! Promise to help me?! ๑•́ㅿ•̀๑) ᔆᵒʳʳᵞ"

"fine"

"YASS!"

"good night, hyung"

"night Jungkookie" 

I shut off my phone and went to work deciphering the chemical compounds and molecular bonds. This is going to be a long night.
