☆14☆ : Trust

Since it must be something related to CA there must be something recorded in the school's archive.
That's where I am now.
The dusty small room noone knows about is on the basement of the library.
Only the librarian Mr Sanchez has access to it, so I asked him beforehand. He gave me the key willingly. One of the perks of being the school's president is that the staff doesn't question anything I do.

I looked around the shelves. In the middle were many of them but the walls of the room were not visible since they were plastered with bookshelves.
Well, it would most likely take 10 years to go through all of them...

I took my phone out and looked for the only person that would be able to help me real quick.
I dialed.
"Kyungmi-ah?"
"Hyung, I need your help!"
"What do you need me to help you with?" Jin asked.
"I've thought about the new message."
"Oh, yes I know! Jennie and Yoongi are working to track that guy down. So, what do you need this old man with? I feel like I am no use when it comes to hacking and stuff."
"I feel the same, hyung." I laughed.
"I want you to check your paper's archive about something that happened 10 years ago at CA. Something outrageous, maybe spicy... I honestly don't know what I am looking for, but you get what I mean?"
"Aaah, yes! That's something I can help you with! I don't know how long this will take me though..."
"We'll need to be patient then. I am looking through the school's archive, maybe I'll find something here."
"Alright, alright! Take care, I'll look through our archive then!"
"Thanks, hyung! You're such a great help!" I smiled.
"Aahh, quit that formal speech!"
I laughed and hung up.

Okay, that was solved. I have Jin looking through the public newspaper, he will surely provide me with necessary information!

I started with going through the bookshelve on my right. Our library was open 24/7 which was great for bookworms and these kids that like to have 'late night projects' in the library, if you know what I mean...
Gosh, who in their right mind has s#x in the library?!
I got through the first shelve that pretty much got nothing of the year I was looking for.
That's when I got a new message.

At the library
Studying
Don't you have a girlfriend to bother?

Coming!

Why?

Btw no I don't
Are you interested? ;)

Definitely not!!!

I am here. Where exactly are you?

Uurggh, why did you come?

Well... let me just shout your name!

No!

So?

Ggrrr! Archive.
Ask the librarian.
Tell him that you're a student councillor!

Yes, Miss President!

I kneeled to look through some files, when the librarian Mr Sanchez bursted in.
"Aaah, here you are!" Jeonkook smiled his signature smile.
The librarian threatened "You better don't make a mess here!"
"Of course, we won't, sir!" Jungkook smiled the most fake smile I've ever seen.
But the librarian was obviously flashed just like me by the way Jungkook adressed him.
"Uuh? Ah, yes! Go on! Go on! You have work." he gestured quickly to the bookshelves before disappearing again.

"Really? 'Sir'?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
Jungkook looked at the files before giving his attention to me. "Sometimes you need to tell people what they'd like to hear so that you'll get what you want." he said in a serious manner looking a little distant.
What was he talking about?
But before I could even think about his weird answer anymore he smiled at me again - but in a flirtatious manner.
"So what are you doing here in this dusty room all by yourself?" he smirked.

Here we go again!

"Jungkook, the question is: Why did you come here?" I snapped back. I don't really intend to sound that rude but something in my blood is triggered just by his existence.
"Just felt like seeing you." he smiled. This time it was an honest smile. I could tell by the warmness in his eyes.
"What?"
"You know I am checking on our precious little baby President! Something wrong with that?"
"Yupp, definitely, 'cause you sound like a pedophile." I said turning back to my file.
"You actually do consider that you're legally an adult, don't you?"
"Mhm - wait! How do you know I am 18?"
I looked up to that snoppy rich ass that was still standing there like it was the most normal conversation you could have in an archive.
He rolled his eyes "Come on, your school profile is not top secret..."

You hacked our schools's server?" I asked my mouth wide open.
"Really? Woman, you should think simpler. There are a lot of people in this school that know stuff about you. So don't act surprised when people do know your age." he rolled his eyes.
"But you actually could?"
"What?"
"Hacking. School's server?" I eyed him suspiciously.
"Why not? If some attention seeker can do, then why should I not be able to?"

Cocky much.

"So you're saying that you ARE able to do it?" I narrowed my eyes on him.
He watched my face frown "Are you suspecting me to be this anonymious clown?"
"Are you?" I crossed my arms in front of my chest.
"You know that I can say 'no' and you'd believe me?"
"I can tell when people lie!" I argued.
Jungkook's mouth was twitching "Alright, my answer to your question is 'no'."
"You are not lying." I stated as a matter of facts and concentrated on that file again.
Jungkook coudn't be that hacker.
Or could he?
He doesn't seem like someone who would threaten the school. He's rich, beloved, famous and talented. And, well a little handsome. He was that kind of person, who got a lot of attention. Probably since he was a kid, regarding his excellant resume.
There is no way he'd do something like that!
But well, how does a blackmailer look like?
I could met her or him every day and I wouldn't know...

"Really, Kyungmi?"
Huh? I looked up again. Jungkook wasn't using my real name often, so it must mean that he is flustered now.
"That's it? All you do is look in my eyes and tell me 'you are not lying.' !"
"What?" I sighed "Are you implying that you are the blackmailer?"

"What are you doing here anyway?" Jungkook sighed. Why was he acting like I was the weird one here?
"Looking into the files of 10 years ago." I mumbled. I was looking through the list of teachers that taught at CA ten years ago.
I noticed a few familiar names...

Jungkook was now bending down to take a file of the lowest shelve.
"What are you looking for?" he asked while turning a few pages.
"I don't know."
And that was neither the thruth not a lie. Actually I had no clue what I was looking for. It was merely the feeling of doing something even if that means doing something useless like sitting in this dusty room with a player like Jungkook.
On the other hand I got the feeling that our blackmailer was playing with us...

"Come on! You don't really think I believe that someone as smart as you would do something without having anything on her mind?" he asked calmly. It was not a teasing tone. Why was I paying so much attention to his behaviour?
Oh, right! Responsibility! Exchange student!

"Hey!" Jungkook had taken my file of my hands.
"What do I need to do to gain your trust, Kyungmi?"
Jungkook's warm eyes met my wide opened goldfish eyes.
