My Innocent Boy || pjm x reader [Hiatus]

4 - As if I care

I plopped myself on my seat and planted my face on my table. I didn't get enough sleep last night because I watched too many films. I lost track of time. And I can't even skip class today because my mom dropped me off. She doesn't like it when I skip class, especially if she found out that it's because I stayed up late. She'll definitely keep my electronics away.

"Good morning everyone!" Mrs. Song's voice echoed through the room, making me groan and groggily sit up.

"Its so early and she's this excited?" I mumbled to myself. I looked at the front to 'pay' attention to her.

I felt someome staring at me, and indeed, I saw Jimin looking. He immediately turn his gaze away when he realized that I caught him.

What does he need?

-----

"Hey you promised to pay for my lunch today!" Hyori shook my shoulders as I lay my head on the cafeteria's table.

"Stop it!" I just gave her 5 bucks, enough for her food so she won't mess with me anymore. I'm too sleepy to deal with her.

I was almost off to dreamland when she came back and hit my head with a bread "Hey eat this" she said but I ignored her and slept.

She put a cold can of coke against my cheeks making me jolt up. "Yah! I already gave you money! Let me sleep"

"You should eat! We have PE today and you know how our teacher hates students who doesn't have energy for his activities. You want to get home early or stay at detention?" She said as if she's my mom. Well, she has a point.

I took the bread and ate it. I didn't even realize that I'm hungry. I skipped breakfast because my mom was rushing me since I'm late already.

"No one's asking for your help today huh, cupid?" She teased as she devour her bibimbap. She wasn't even looking at me as she say that.

"I'm actually glad about it. Im too sleepy to deal with any of them today. I just want to get home already" Munching on my bread, my gaze travelled somewhere. And there, I saw Jimin looking at me again, as he sat a few tables away. He's with Jihoon's group. And just like before, he turn his gaze away.

"What a weird one" I mumbled. Hyori looked up at me "Me? weird?" She looked shocked

"I wasn't talking about you" I stood up "I'm gonna buy some ice cream"

"Don't waste your time. They don't have some today" she mumbled. So I just sat down, feeling a little sad. I really want those.

My gaze return to Jimin's table and saw him looking again. Does he need something? Does he have a problem with me?

-----

"Yeah, Yeah! Goodbye!" I waved at Hyori as we part ways. I've been craving for some ice cream for a while now so I dropped by the ice cream stall on the way to get my favorite.

"Thank you!" I enjoyed my cone and started walking home. I took my time and enjoyed the walk. My mom won't be home till 7 so I still have a lot of time to spare outside.

Suddenly someone from behind me called making me jump "Y/N?"

I turned around and cursed at the person who almost made me drop my ice cream

"Wait--Jimin? What is it?" Is he following me?

"Can you help me?" His eyes looks like he has a huge problem, making me panic.

"Uh..with what?" He pulled me to a bench nearby so we can talk. Did I agree to this?

"I've been dying to approach you and to ask for your help ever since I found out about that cupid thing. And I thought you can help me" he started, he looks hesitant, so I gestured for him to continue.

"Well if it's about that cupid thing, then I might be able to help you" I said.

"Its a little complicated..." he trailed off.

Complicated? Is he referring to his feelings for Jihoon? Are the gay rumors true?

Don't you dare ask me to help you with Jihoon, pabo. I can't even help myself to be with him!

"I'm actually asking you to help me be just like the other kids out there" he looked shy as he stare at his fingers.

"Ohh.. so you're not gay?" I blurted out without even thinking about it. "No, don't mind that. Im sorry"

He ignored my question and just continued "I wanted to be just like any normal guy out there. I want to know how to ask someone out, how to interact with girls, how I should act, and all those things I need to learn as a grown up man"

Wow. That's a lot of things.

I stood up, making him look at me "Im sorry but I can't help you with that. That's a little complicated for me. I can only help those people who feel attraction towards others, but not help someone build his character up" I started to walk away.

"Help me or i'll inform our teachers about what you do and what you get from it. They won't be happy when they find out" he said, making me stop in my track.

"As if I care" I said, and without looking back, I walked home.

You're asking for something that I don't have any idea about. I only got my advices from books, and I don't think it'll be easy to find a book that is perfect for you. That's too much work, and I'm lazy.
