The Bad boy's Mistake | kmg

A little gift for you guys 🖤

* * *

     It was the school festival.

     Taehyung and I haven't talked since our small fight over at his part time job at the convenience store so I guess I'm loner Nari all over again. This isn't new to me so who am I to sulk?

     Everyone's out in the field or either in the indoor gym watching the events for today yet here I am sitting alone in our room while I stare blankly out in the open. I'm supposed to enjoy the activities the committee had planned out for the school festival but I wasn't in my right state of mind. How can I force myself to enjoy when I just had a fight with my best friend?

     So, I decided to just read a book in my desk while the faint sounds of cheers and people are heard outside the window. I stop reading when the door opens. I divert my gaze towards the door and there I see Jungkook standing with an amused smile.

     "What's a pretty girl like you doing here all alone?" In his usual playful tone, he walked towards me and sat in front of where I am seated.

     "I'm not interested in watching anything today." I shrug my shoulders.

     He still looks fresh and neat with his blue shirt and the school's official P.E. shorts. In contrast to my red shirt, he's clearly in another team.

     "Well, that's boring." He laughs.

     "Not for me," I roll my eyes and continue to read my book, not minding his presence at all.

     Jungkook's new here and all I know about him is that he's fairly acquainted with Mingyu. However, we're not really that close for me to ask about it in detail.

     "You're the girl he's heads over heels for, huh?"

     I glare at him when I heard him mumble something. "What did you say?"

     He raises both of his hands as a sign of surrender. "Nothing. You're too feisty, chill." He really looks and sounds like he's so amused of this situation we're in but his presence hasn't been any help to me at all. He's just bugging me.

     "Who wouldn't be? I was doing perfectly fine and you came and ruined my mood."

     He looks surprised with my sudden honesty but I just can't stop myself from acting this way because of all the things that happened the past few days. I didn't mean to lash it all out on Jungkook, it's just that he was the first person that talked to me today.

     "I mean no, sorry." I don't want to look mean when he came out of his way to probably accompany me so I decided to apologize.

     "I'm just having a bad day." I ruffle my hair out of frustration. I can't get anything to work properly for me at all!

     "Then, let me help." He kindly said.

     His smile showed his pearl white teeth and his eyes, it was different than Mingyu's. Jungkook's eyes looked soft and gentle. It was so different to how Mingyu's normally looked. But, why am I even comparing the both of them?!

     "W-what do you mean?" I then reply as I escape my thoughts.

     He grabs my hands and he starts dragging me out of my seat. "I'll help you have fun today at the festival. I can't have you sit there all day with a gloomy expression on you. A pretty lady like you needs to smile often."

     I remained silent while he drags me out. Why am I even warming up to him this quickly? I barely know him! All I know is that Mingyu seems to hate him a lot!

     "You should be happy, Nari. It suits you."

     And how did he know my name?

* * *

     I was sitting in one of the bleachers alone because Jungkook suddenly went missing. We were in the line to buy some snacks but guys from his class took him and said something about a relay. Was he part of the relay race we're having this year? Well, who knows..

     I was sitting at the highest end of the bleachers and I could see everyone from up here. I spot Taehyung and takes part in the relay as the first runner. I also could see Wonwoo too as our class's third runner. Who knew my lazy cousin would actually join the race? He's barely skin and bones for all I know!

     Wew, everyone really looks like they're having fun with the festival. Jungkook's probably right about me missing out on a lot of fun stuff this year.

       I was busy talking to myself while I'm weighed down with these sudden realizations when I spot a familiar figure watching two seats down from where I am sitting. It's Mingyu!

     Our eyes met and not only did I met his eyes, I also met the eyes of the one he's with. My eyes went wide to see a smirking Hayoung that has her hand linked to Mingyu's arm.

     Suck it up, Nari. You expected this! Who knew Mingyu would be playing me for a fool too? I guess my decision was right after all!

     After Mingyu, it was Seungcheol and Hansol who spotted me sitting alone. They didn't even mind Mingyu at all and went passed him and up to sit down next me. I was starting to feel tensed but Hansol and Seungcheol are all smiles. They probably know I've been ignoring them. I feel bad that they have to be a part of it but I can't just ignore Mingyu and talk to them.. it would be very disrespectful of me.

     "It's been so long, Nari!" Hansol exclaimed and gave me a tight hug.

     I was surprised with the hug and Seungcheol quickly peeled Hansol away from me. He glared at him afterwards.

     "You wanna get killed by Mingyu?"

     I grew silent upon hearing his name. Mingyu? Why would he care when he's all lovey dovey with Hayoung over there? Who are they kidding anyway?

     "He wouldn't care." I abruptly said. "He never did."
