Feign Affection | j.jk + k.th

three

A few weeks had passed and you were beginning to adapt to the system that the school had. You were somewhat blending in with all those around you and although you knew that you shouldn't have, you found yourself growing close to Taehyung and Jin.

You grew wary of Jungkook and Yoongi, despite Jungkook being quiet at first, he liked to get into disagreements with you even if it had been school related. And Yoongi seemed to enjoy glaring at you. Namjoon had apologized on his behalf, saying that it had been his natural face.

"I swear, if Yoongi isn't glaring at every living being, he's asleep." Jin's voice had distracted you momentarily from your thoughts, you had wondered if he was actually reading them. Taehyung, who sat beside him, nodded in agreement.

"He's really scary." You could see the fear in his eyes as he took a bite of his sandwich. You also had a sandwich of your own, and you were eating it slowly being distracted by your endless torrent of thoughts.

"Hey, (Y/N)," It was Taehyung's turn to earn your attention now.

"Yes?" You cocked your head to the side waiting for him to continue speaking.

"Your sandwich looks good," He said, and you sighed knowing what he had been implying. You handed him the remaining half of the sandwich and he cheered.

Your 'friend' had an endless stomach and would constantly beg for your food, you were rarely hungry so you would give it to him. You saw the disapproving look on Jin's face as he whacked Taehyung's back, causing him to almost choke on his sandwich.

"Ya, Taehyungie, if you keep this up (Y/N)'s gonna end up malnourished." He scolded which merited a whine from the other.

"She gave it to me! You're just jealous that she doesn't give you food." Jin rolled his eyes.

"Because I'm not a greedy bastard." You couldn't help but smirk softly at the way the two bantered. It wasn't the first time that this had happened and still, you found it entertaining.

It was a good distraction from the reality that you were living in. That any moment, someone could attempt to kill you without you knowing. So you tried your best to keep your distance from people.

You knew that it was already a mistake that you were making friends with the two of them.

Your phone had vibrated you in your pocket, you whispered a soft excuse me, you were sure that the two were too busy to actually pay attention. You unlocked it and saw that it had been a text from the Jong Hyun, the man in charge of the competition.

From: Kim Jonghyun (JR)
Message: Kang Jae-sun has successfully identified one of his assassins. The assassin will now serve as his protector.

You silently cursed at the fact that your brother was already ahead of all of you. Even with one protector, it put the rest of you at a disadvantage. You needed to act fast.

"(Y/N)!" Your eyes darted from your phone to the blonde who had called you out.

"Oh, sorry, was I spacing out?" You hadn't realized that you were staring at your phone or that the other had been calling you.

"Are you okay? Now you're making me feel guilty for taking your food." Jin whispered a small, 'serves you right', which Taehyung glared at him for. "Are you ready to go though? It's about time for our next class." You nod and stuffed your phone in your pocket as you stood up.

But you couldn't help but feel wary at the fact that your assassin could be striking soon. No one had made a move yet.
