Under The Cherry Blossoms | Jeon Jungkook

"Mi-ne, if I may ask...who did you have a fight with? Do you perhaps want me to talk with them and sort things out?" Reo asked me while we were walking back to class.

"It's alright, I had a fight with Jungkook. Also it's fine, I'll deal with this on my own." I told Reo and shot him a small awkward smile.

"Jungkook? As in Jeon Jungkook?" Reo suddenly said and stopped walking. He turned to look at me and gave me a scared, yet somewhat mad look.

"Yes, that Jungkook. Is there something wrong Reo?" I was starting to get worried. Reo's face turned red from anger and he started to mutter things under his breath.

"That damned Jungkook, always messing with my people." Reo murmured and didn't even glance at me.

"Reo!" I yelled at Reo's face and that seemed to make him snap out of it. I gave him a concerned look.

"Oh, s-sorry. I got a bit distracted, don't mind what just happened." He said awkwardly and tried to walk away.

I grabbed his arm roughly, causing him to stop, and forced him to look at my infuriated face.

"Stop it! Everyone is always hiding things from me and then wondering why I get hurt in the end. Don't be like Jungkook, please tell me what's wrong with you and Jungkook. I don't always want to be left in the dark, Reo." I told Reo and looked away from him, hurt.

He sighed and pushed his hair back frustratedly.

"Alright fine, stop your whining. I'll tell you, but after school. I'll be waiting for you by the school gate so hurry up with your business or whatever and don't make me wait." Reo said in a dull tone and pushed his hands into his pockets.

"Thank you Reo, and I always knew that you had a delinquent-like side to you. You just happened to be soft like a boiled egg earlier." I grinned at him and watched him get mad again.

"Why you-"

"It's a compliment, relax. I prefer this side to you more than the other to be perfectly honest." I giggled and patted Reo on the back.

"Whatever, see you later okay?" He asked me and a small tint of red appeared on his cheeks.

"Yeah." I said and smiled at him. He nodded, waved to me and walked off.

After school, eh? I'll be looking forward to that.

"You're late."

"I'm sorry, it was only by a few minutes though." I said and sighed quietly.

"Time's money Mi-ne." Reo said and suddenly walked off while sipping on a box juice.

"What do you mean by that?" I ran after him and aimed him a mad look for leaving me behind.

Reo didn't answer me, instead he kept walking.

"Um, Reo? Are you ignoring me?" I asked, worried that I might've upset him.

Reo still didn't answer me, he just kept walking. I was really starting to feel bad now.

"I'm sorry for being late, if that's why you're mad-"

"We're here." Reo suddenly said and cut me off. I turned around and saw that we had arrived in front of an apartment complex. Wait...is this where Reo lives?

"Where is "here"?" I asked him and looked around. It was a very small apartment complex with apartments fit for a single person to live in. It was a neat place though.

"This is where I live, come on in." Reo said and led me inside the apartment complex and then into his flat.

"Excuse me." I said as I stepped into the house and sat down on Reo's couch.

His place is so neat and tidy, it would need more furniture in my opinion though but it's his house...I'm not here to design it for him.

Wait a minute, right now I'm alone with a guy at his place. It's just the two of us...

Oh my god, what was I thinking?! I mentally slapped myself in the face.

Granny, I'm so sorry for being so stupid. I-

"Mi-ne? Are you alright?" Reo asked and sat down next to me.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." I said nervously and twiddled my thumbs.

Suddenly Reo laughed out of no where, it caught me off-guard and made me jump.

"I know what you're thinking and don't worry. We're not here for anything like that, I just need to discuss something with you without anyone else around." Reo said the latter seriously, which made me stiffen up.

"Alright then, is this about Jungkook?" I asked him and waited for his answer.

"Yes, you need to prepare for what you're about to hear though." Reo said sternly and looked at me.

"Okay, shoot." I said and tried to show that I was serious about this conversation too.

"Jungkook and I are in a special club that organizes fights every week with bets. Basically both sides have to bet money on the fight and the person who wins the fight gets to keep the money. Also, if you last longer in the fight than the person who had fought with that person before, you'll get double the money. It's a give and take kind of thing, unless you're really good at fighting like Jungkook. He's been in the club for 3 years now. This is top secret though, I'm not supposed to tell you this. I told you about this here, at my house, since well you know... walls have ears everywhere. Anyway keep this a secret, alright?" Reo said and sighed as if he already regretted telling me.

Now it all makes sense! The reason why Jungkook was so good while fighting Asahi and the creepy guy at the mall, was because he's always fighting at that club. That gives him a lot of fighting experience.

But there's still something that I don't understand, why is Jungkook still with Mako after what she did? It doesn't seem like he's really head over heels for her either so...there must be something in this picture that I'm just not seeing.

I'll have to ask Jungkook about it though, Reo wouldn't know about that.

"Reo, thank you for telling me all of this. I promise that I won't tell anyone, but there's still something that you haven't explained to me yet." I looked at Reo with a firm and determined look.

"And what might that be?" Reo asked me amused.

"What do you have against Jungkook?"
