Euphoria (SBJK)

chapter 2

"Yah! You scared me! I thought everyone left!" Sinb shouted as she saw jungkook with his hood on at the back of the classroom.

"And...I didn't know you're in my class" she mumbled her last words.

"Ofcourse you wouldn't know I'm in your class. You barely know everyone here. Ssaem didn't call my name during lessons as well so that's another reason why you wouldn't know I'm part of your class" he rolled his eyes.

She kept quiet, nibbling on her lower lip. Not knowing what to say, she just sat down and continue eating silently.

"i meant what I've said though" jungkook proudly stood up and approached sinb.

Her cheeks flushed.

"What are you eating? Why are you not sharing with your sunbae?" Jungkook jokingly asked.

"Hmph. None for you. Sowon eonnie made this for me only." She hugged her lunchbox to protect it from jungkook.

Gwiyo he thought with a smile.

"well...one compliment for you today. You look really ugly today hoobae-ya" he lied and gave a fake smile before heading back to his seat.

She got up and glared at him before leaving the classroom. She wanted to meet umji and buy a bottle of water together. But she remembered that umji has consultation for Mathematics. So she went alone. She keep her head low and walked through the crowd which gave way to her.

What she didn't know was, jungkook was suffering. He was shivering in the classroom alone, having cold sweats. He wasn't feeling too good at that time. He has to got for Music Bank for his group's promotion tomorrow morning and had to skip school. But in this condition, he won't be able to go. He just took out his bottle and drank plenty of it and started resting his head on the table.

SinB pov

Aish! I got a scratch out of no where on my hand. It's been months since I've got this type of scratches. Whenever this scratch come out of nowhere, this had to do with jungkook. Something happened to him. Once, he fell down while doing a choreography. I got a small scratch on my arm even though nothing happened to it in the first place. And i straightaway knew i was the one being picked by the Almighty to share pain and burdens with my love.

I was halfway through the queue to buy the mineral water and i straight away rushed back to class.

"I swear if this time it's a false alarm, then who scratched me for goodness sake." I facepalmed.

I opened the classroom door and saw one student with hoodie on, resting his head on his table. I knew it was jungkook.

"sunbae.." i tapped him.

"Ne..." he replied weakly and looked at me.

He looks weak, pale and tired.

"J-jungkook..." i gasped.

"let me....*coughs* see you hand...did you get a scratch because of me again.." he took my hand checked it.

"no jungkook...you're in more pain" i knelt to meet his level. "I'll call manager oppa to bring you home" i took out my phone.

"aniya...I don't want to go home.. i want to go to school and see you.." he told me.

"Asshole." I rolled my eyes and dialled the phone number of manager oppa.

"bi-ya..ireonnaaaaa" umji shook my whole body to wake me up.

"what?!" I furrowed my eyebrows as i sat down on my bed. "It's just 5am. Do we have practice again before the performance later?"

"Sowon wants all of us in the living room right now." She told me.

I just lazily got up and followed umji out of the room.

"Great, everyone's here. Now here's the thing." She said and took a deep breath.

"eunha lost her lucky charm." Sowon uttered.

"the little bunny furball keychain?" Yerin asked.

Eunha nodded.

"It is very precious to her and someone important gave it to her. Without it, she won't be able to perform well later at the event." sowon told us sternly while consoling eunha who is crying. "Anybody took it by accident? Or on purpose?"

"I don't know where it is..why bother waking us up at 5am. It's more important that we get enough rest, eonnie." I told her.

"well then, i'll check yours and umji's room first." sowon stood up and head to the room with eunha.

"Seriously." I rolled my eyes.

-10 minutes later-

"Yah Hwang Eunbi!" i heard sowon shouting for me.

We all rushed to the room. Sowon held my school bag up, showing the same bunny keychain as eunha's. Similar but slightly different coloured from hers.

"what do you have to do now?" She asked me.

"eonnie...that's mine..haven't you see me everytime going to school with that schoolbag and that keychain?" I asked.

"it's mine sinb-ya." Eunha glared at me.

"w-what? That's mine eonnie..." i muttered. "Oppa gave it to me.."

"well Jungkook sunbae gave me this same exact keychain!" She flared.

I am so officially confused right now. She and Jungkook?

"oppa gave it to me eonnie..please..i assure you that i will never steal any of your personal belongings eonnie..." i begged her.

That was a gift from my older brother when i started becoming and debuting as an idol. He says, 'even when i'm not there, pretend i am this bunny. I will be right by your side wherever you're going and i will always support you no matter what.'

"take it back eunha" yerin told her.

"Ani..aniya!" I grabbed my school bag. "it's really mine eonnie...i will never steal anything from any of you guys." Tears started flowing down my cheeks.

Yerin and yuju walked over to me and took my school bag away from me and removed the keychain. They then passed it over to eunha.

"yewon..." i looked at her.

"i'm sorry sinb-ya.." she told me. The five of them left the room, leaving me alone.
