My Clumsy Giant (KNJ. FF) ✔️[edited]

Part IX

(NAMJOON)

I couldn’t resist glancing at Jenna in our class, who was seated two rows in front of me. I liked how comfortable she is in my shirt.

“Class, for our exam I am giving you a team project. As Literature students, I want you to create a story from places, things or even a person that will pique your interest. I talked to the professor of the Arts Department and we agreed to give both our classes this project”, the professor’s words interrupted my thoughts. “Every team will consists of two students who will be partnered with another two students from the Arts Department, they will be your photographer and videographer”.

That’s interesting, this kind of activity makes me hype up.

“I hope we would be partnered with Taehyung and Jungkook”, I heard one girl said to her seat buddy.

I can’t blame them. Their looks always made girls swoon.

“I will give a privilege to the student with the highest score these past weeks of picking a partner of his choice. Let’s see....”, he looked at the notes on his table. “Well, as expected the one who has the highest score is Namjoon”.

Nice!

“Namjoon?”, he asked.

I didn’t think twice, “I choose Jenna, Sir”.

Jenna turned around and gave me a curious look but I just gave her an innocent smile.

“Now choose from these folded papers. It will be your group number”, the professor came to my seat and gave me a small box with folded papers inside. I picked one and opened it.

“Number 7”, I read.

He glanced at the notes again on his other hand, “Your partner from the Arts department are ........ Taehyung and Jungkook”. He went to the other students to give their assigned team and partners.

What the.....?! Of all the students in their department? Why Tae? , thinking that he might ruin my chances with Jenna. Plus, I really don't want to see him flirt with her.

I heard some girls were disappointed knowing that the duo from the Arts Department were now unavailable.

(JENNA)

“Bye, mom. I love you”, I hang up. I reassured my mom that I brought everything I needed for the trip for a couple of days.

Namjoon suggested we go to a province that have historical value for our project.

I was double checking the things in my bag when the doorbell rang. It was Namjoon.

“Ready?”

I smiled and locked the door of my flat and followed him to his car.

“Hi, Jenna!”, Taehyung greeted me. He was seated beside the driver's seat. They chose Namjoon’s Porsche for the trip.

“Hi, Tae. Oh hello, Jungkook”, I noticed that Jungkook was the driver, when I sat at the back of the car with Namjoon beside me.

Tae noticed my confusion and explained, “We decided to let Jungkook drive for the long trip to avoid any unforeseen circumstances”, and stole a glance to Namjoon’s direction with a teasing grin.

“Yeah, right?! Then why didn’t we use your car instead of mine?”, Namjoon was obviously annoyed.

“Hyung, Jimin-ssi used his car last night without refueling”, Jungkook said and started the long drive.

Tae turned on the radio and chose a song. When the music started it made me smile. It was one of my favorite song by BTS.

‘AND I STILL WANT YOU’, a beautiful vocal. I unknowingly glanced at Namjoon, but was flustered to see that he was watching me.

I instantly looked out of the window, hiding my embarrassed state by admiring the view that we passed by, but I can no longer ignore Namjoon's effect on me.

I don't know what time I had fallen asleep or how many hours I slept but when I opened my eyes, I noticed that Taehyung was also sleeping and Jungkook was driving with chips on his mouth.

I was about to drift off to sleep again when I wondered why I was comfortable in my position. Too late, I didn’t realize that my head was leaning on Namjoon’s shoulder and my left hand was intertwined with his right hand. To make matters worst his head was leaning on mine.

I decided to slowly disengage my hand from him so as not to disturb him but I felt a squeezed in my hand with words he whispered for me to hear, “Don’t”.
