Complicated World

3.

Jeon Jungkook? Who? I looked around the classroom. The guy who I think was Jungkook waved at me. I went to his desk and asked about the project.

"Woah... Shouldn't we exchange numbers first?" He asked.

"My phone doesn't have a-" I was interrupted by the ringing of my phone, indicating that someone was calling me. I quickly declined the call without checking who it was from.

"Better come up with a more believable excuse than that." I heard him say.

I rolled my eyes and continued to talk about the project. Surprisingly, he listened and was paying attention to what I was saying.

Honestly, he was very good looking. I didn't think someone could be that handsome. Every single girl must have been drooling over him in middle school.

I hovered my eyes to Namjoon and Ji Ah. I chuckled as soon as I saw their eyes. They were glaring at each other so intensely. That's expected of the two top kids in this grade for high school.

"Why are you laughing? Is there something wrong?" Jungkook said.

"No, I'm just laughing at- Look at Namjoon and Ji Ah." I told him

After a second, he burst out laughing. How are they possibly going to have work done like that?

"What are you guys looking at?" Ji Ah confronted us.

"You and Namjoon's stupidity, duh. Imagine you too heading into the classroom with no project. Wait, since your so good at it, make your project about glaring at each other." I told her.

"Okay, we'll get to work... I don't want to get a bad grade." Ji Ah looked defeated.

"We should too," I advised Jungkook.

"Can you just give me your number? It isn't that hard." He said to me.

I sighed and gestured for him to give me his phone. Once he did, I took it and started typing in my phone number.

"You actually... saved your name as 'local therapist'... Are you serious?" He laughed.

"What? Do you want it as 'drug dealer' instead?" I said.

He shook his head and started typing on his phone. When he was done, he showed me his screen.

"You saved me as 'Noodle'...Really? How do you know I like ramen? Are you obsessed with me or something?" I started questioning him.

"Geez. You're so naive. Let me explain, I always see you on the bench in the park. You always eat ramen and talk to your friends." I heard him say.

"Pssh... Stalker." I muttered.

Okay, back to our project. The assignment is about how to make the world a better place.

I asked Jungkook for ideas. All the ones he listed though, were very simple and I felt like they were common and not unique.

Just as we were beginning to get close to a brilliant idea, we heard the class dismissed. I waved goodbye at Jungkook and gestured for Ji Ah to come with me. She gave Namjoon a scary look and followed me to the next class.

Choi Hanbyeol's P.o.v

I don't even get why Ji Ah and Eunbi are mad at us for making them late to class. Eun Chae and I got LOST. And who could ever get mad at an angel like me?

I walked into the classroom with Eun Chae. We sat next to each other and immediately noticed all of the handsome guys in our class. They were all so good looking, but the only one I'm focused on is that one guy.

I was about to turn to Eun Chae to start talking to her about the guy, but I was interrupted by the teacher who came into the classroom.

"Hello, class! You will be doing a project today that every class in this grade has to finish. I already have the pairs written down."

All of the students were shouting and begging to be partners with me. "Be quiet please!" The teacher said.

She looked at her clipboard and flipped through the pages while announcing the pairs. I heard all of the groans from the guys who didn't get partnered with me.

It was time for our partners."Choi Hanbyeol and Kim Taehyung..."

Wait, if I'm with Taehyung, and Eun Chae's the only one left that means- "Jung Hoseok and Sang Eun Chae." The teacher announced the last pair.

That guy I have my eyes on, Jung Hoseok... WHY DOES HE GET PARTNERED WITH MY BEST FRIEND??

I looked at Taehyung. Yeah, he was handsome too, but I wish I was partnered with Hoseok. Life is so unfair! I'm so envious of Eun Chae.

I smiled sweetly at Taehyung and hugged him. "I'm so glad you're my partner!" I lied. Eunbi once told me Eun Chae had feelings for Taehyung, she literally knows everything. It's weird. I could probably make Eun Chae jealous, and she would switch partners with me.

Eun Chae looked towards my area. I could see the upset look on her face. This is what I want, but I feel so bad for her.

"Eun Chae... Is there something wrong?" I heard Hoseok say.

"No... Let's begin the project. I'm sorry." She apologized.
