Alone (KookieMonster fanfic)

Before school

What was Sehun doing here? Someone like him, in a huge house like this...wait, does he live here? "Jungkook, what're you doing here?" He asks once again, sounding even more confused asking it the second time around. 

"I live here now" I say bluntly, not explaining much before walking past him to go inside the washroom. Like expected, it was huge just like the rest of the house. 

Sehun turned around and continued looking at me as he repeats "you're living here now?!" 

"Yeah..." I say, observing the washroom, looking everywhere around the room before staring Sehun dead in the eyes and saying "I didn't know you were a rich kid, Sehun" with a smirk on my face. 

"I-" Sehun stopped himself from talking by only letting out one word. He looked down, trying to figure out what he was going to say before looking up at me and asking "why're you here, I thought you were living underneath the diner?" 

I sighed, turning my head away from Sehun to stare at my reflection in the mirror in front of me. "I was, but shit happened. I would be there right now if I could, you know that." I say, my tone of voice starting to get lower by every word. Even I was embarrassed that I got myself caught. 

At the same time, someone else had entered the conversation, wrapping their arm around Sehun's shoulders while saying "wah, the famous Jungkook finally got caught." 

As I turned my head to see who was talking now, it was Tao. "What the hell, Tao lives here as well?!" I question, I could hear in my voice, it sounded more surprised then I intended to. 

"Well I guess all three of us are living together now." Tao replies to my surprise with a cheeky smile on his face. 

"I have no problem with you Tao, you're not in any gang, it's your boyfriend there who is." I say to him, referring to Sehun. 

"What's happening, are we having a party in the washroom?!" A voice called out from outside the washroom. I couldn't see who was talking, and I didn't recognize the voice either. 

Once the person had come into sight, and I could put a face to the voice who had called out, it was definitely no one I knew. It was weird enough I knew two people here, it would get more weirder if I started to recognize more. 

When the person looked inside the washroom to see who Tao and Sehun were looking at, he stared me up and down, I doing the same back at him. "Who's he?" He questions, looking at me with one eyebrow raised, but generally seemed pretty welcoming. 

I continued to stare at the boy in a glare, but it didn't seem like he cared about my glare as much as the Minseok boy from before did. 

"Oh, hey Chen. This is Jungkook, he'll apparently be living with us for a while." Sehun answers to Chen's curiosity. 

"A new person is living with us?" I heard another different voice call out who I couldn't see. How many people live in this house?! It's like every second a new person is trying to introduce themselves to me. 

"On second thought I'm just going to go to my room and 'unpack.'" I say,  making that as my excuse as I pushed past the three boys to get into the hallway. 

"Unpack what, knowing you, you probably have nothing to unpack, Jungkook." Tao teases as I walked away. I rolled my eyes to what he had said, but it's not like he was wrong. When I got back into the room I was assigned to, I closed the door behind me and leaned my back against it, staring into the empty room. 

My own...room...I actually have my own room. I looked up, seeing a ceiling above me, and it didn't have any holes in it so water couldn't drip on me at night when it rains! The room smelt fresh and clean. I took a deep breath in and out. This was definitely better than underneath the diner. 

While sitting down on the edge of the bed that I could now call 'my own' I heard a knock coming from the door. My head instantly turned in that direction and I say "yes?" 

Once I had answered, Suho poked his head inside my room with a big smile on his face, asking "can I come in?" 

I stared at him for a second before looking down into my lap and nodding lightly. 

I heard Suho enter the room and close the door behind him. As he entered the room, I saw from the corner of my eye he was now sitting down next to me on the edge of the bed. "Are you feeling well, do you want something to eat first or do you want to take a shower? I saw you didn't eat any of Minseok's cookies downstairs, do you not like sweets? I can give you leftovers from yesterday's dinner, or I can start making dinner right now if you would like?" Suho asks, drilling me with questions, one by one. 

"It's fine, I'm not hungry" I answer in a blunt tone, not saying much else. If anything, I could probably last on a couple slices of bread a day and I would be good. When you live on the streets your whole life, you learn to make due with whatever you have, even if that means going to bed hungry sometimes. So I just adjusted to not eating most of the time. 

Suho didn't say anything for another second or so before telling me "you're going to be starting school tomorrow, with the other boys in this house. Considering you stopped going to school when you were in elementary school, we would have to assume your education level is of an elementary schooler." Suho says, I could tell by the way he was speaking, he was trying to say that in the nicest way possible. 

I let out a faint chuckle before saying "just because I haven't been going to school, doesn't mean I'm stupid." 

"No, no, we're....I'm not saying that" Suho says, trying to clarify things to me. "The education system has no record of you developing anything higher than a third grade education level. We can't put you in grade eleven right away, but we can put you in a special ed class in the school, where they will test you, if you can be in the same class like everyone else who is your age." Suho explains which I rolled my eyes to. 

"I don't care..." I say, now staring at the wall instead of into my lap. 

Suho put his hand gently on my shoulder as he says in a faint tone "I'm really sorry you're going through this Jungkook..." 

"Don't touch me!" I spat, instantly wiggling my shoulder to get him to let go, and moving myself further from him so we weren't sitting directly next to each other. 

"Sorry" Suho says, I could feel the bed getting lighter as he stood up to get off. "If you need anything...or anyone to talk to, I'm always here." Suho says to me before walking out of the room, closing the door behind him. 

Once I knew I was alone once again, I clenched my fists tightly. Why do I have to go to school?! I don't need to go to school, I know everything that I need to know. Street smarts is all I need to know, I don't need to know that education type of stuff. 

I flung myself to lay down onto the bed, staring up at the white ceiling. 

What have I gotten myself into? 

~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey guys, next chapter will be Jungkook's first day at school, and it will be his first day at the same school Namjoon goes to, so they will be having an actual proper conversation now. Thank you so much for being so patient with me and these updates. I'll try my best to keep updating this book as fast as I can.
