☆22☆ : His secret

Jimin coughed: "Kyungmi... err..." he bit his lip nervously looking around.

"Yaaaaaahh!" J-hope hyung cried out. "You...you...you two what imbecile things did you two do last night?"

"Oppa, calm down!" Jennie urged.

"Seriously guys, let's not talk about it!" I resoluted sighing. "It won't happen again!" I said resolutely when everyone just stared at me. Why was everyone acting as if I had done a crime?

"Why is everyone so loud this earlier?" groaned Yoongi hyung shuffling to our table. He looked as if he was still half asleep in his red track suit, his hair all messy.

"You...you..." stuttered J-hope at Yoongi pointing a finger at me. "Get your acts together man!" groaned Yoongi. He was quite grumpy early in the morning.

"Eat everyone!" he said as if he was the head of the family. Everyone began to eat again. I thanked Yoongi silently. This grandpa can make my family of friends quiet down if needed. Especially J-hope hyung who was really dramatic sometimes.

I sighed in relief. Jennie gave me a look that said we'll need to talk later. I almost rolled my eyes at her when I noticed Jungkook smirking devilishly. I glared at him. If he wasn't sitting here I could've eaten my breakfast in peace! Why was he taking such a devilish delight in pestering me? "I love your 'Hello Kitty'-pyjama." he grinned "suits you." he added. I looked down on my ancient worn out pyjama I was wearing underneath my brown-yellow striped cardigan.

"Kyungmi-ah!" he said innocently. "Don't talk to me!" I snapped at him and stood up before he could utter more nonsense out of his sinful mouth. "Y/N-ah! Don't be mad at me!" he shouted faking a sad undertone before running after me.

I went to my dorm with Jungkook following closely. "Kyungmi-ah!" he shouted again. I heard the amusement in his voice that he had surpressed earlier.

Students on their way to the dining halls looked at us bizarrely but greeted me nevertheless with the same friendliness as usual.

"Kyungmi, I'll see you later in humanity!" a boy waved at me his friends nodded at me acknowledging.

"Hey Kyungmi, today's practise is postponed!" one of Jimin's friend said while walking by.

"Did you get the book we had to read?" a few of my literature class mates asked.

I answered every question sincerely and greeted people back. Soon I was almost at my dorm when I remembered the guy behind me.

"How old are you again? 12?" I said turning around sharply. Jungkook, who was right behind me was caught of guard by my sudden action and stopped abruptly. Damn! Too close! His face was just a few inches away from mine. "I'm not. You should know." he smirked.

Yeaaah... his 19th birthday was not something I could forget so easily. I snorted "Are you not done with annoying me? Because if you haven't figured out you just achieved that goal!"

He stared into my eyes and saying something with the way he looked at me, what I, of course, couldn't comprehend.

"No. I'm not done with anything. Why are you treating me so coldly?" he asked sincerely. Stop pretending, boy.

"I am cold towards you?" I stated the question more to myself than him. I wasn't very warm to him. But the playboy Jeon Jungkook doesn't need someone like me to babysit him. Why would I even bother?

"You always act like you want to throw me in front of a car." he stated as a matter of fact.

"And to everyone else you're nice and friendly. It's not that they are any better than I am. They are mostly more stupid, untruthful-"

"So you're saying that I am discriminating you?" I asked.

Why would someone like Jungkook who was famous and beloved by everyone care whether there was one person who could not give a f#ck about him?

Omo... can it be that...? My gosh, that boy had a low self-esteem. Oh my gosh! That guy has a sense of inferiority!!! Everything made sense now! He was seeking for my attention and praise.

The situation in the archive... all he wanted was a praise. Maybe a pat on the head...

That's probably why he's such a flirt! He seeks for the attention he probably never gets... his parents must have neglected him. Oh, my... I was so prejudiced...

I noticed all my mistakes towards that boy and my distress was seen on my face.

"What are you thinking about? Tell me, what's going on in that pretty head of yours!" he asked worry reflected on his face.

He was probably afraid of me finding out about his secret. Yeah, it must have been a really well hidden secret of his!

The sun was shining brightly. The birds chirped gleeful. I smiled at him.

"I'm sorry. For my actions. I never intended to treat you unfairly. I will reflect on my previous actions. Please accept my apology by now!" I said bowing lightly at him. If I would have known about the condition of his psyche I would not have token his actions to heart!

Haha! And I was taking his actions the wrong way...

Jungkook who now had found out that something was wrong furrowed his brows. "Feisty, tell me, what's up?" he said cautiously.

"Nothing, don't worry. Your secret is well kept by me." I promised putting a hand on my heart.

I might have done mistakes, but I'm willing to make up for them!
