One Month (Lee Jieun & Jeon Jungkook) KOOKU

1 | Just a crush.

I sat in the emptiness of class 2-B, in my usual seat on the side staring out the window.

All my friends have yet to come to school, because I was half an hour early. Not on accident though.

It was Wensday, which meant the girls soccer team was practicing outside. And while most people were staring at the athletic girls running around the field, with high ponytails and toned legs, my eyes drifted aloft, to the side of our building. Lee Jieun.

By far the prettiest girl in our school. And though she doesn't really associate with the popular kids, she is definitely envied by everyone. How could you not love someone as cute as her?

Lee Jieun is mostly known around our school for her incredible artistic skills, and her intelligence.

It's no secret I have a crush on her. Who doesn't? Well, it's not a secret to my friends. I honestly don't know how many people around our school know.

But here I was, 7:36 in the morning, 24 minutes before school even starts, staring at Lee Jieun reading her book, alone at the side of the school, sitting against a wall.

I actually asked her out in grade 2. She was in grade 3 at the time. But, like, what does that even mean to someone? Only my friends bring it up, like, everyday.

So, I've had a crush on her for 8 years now, and she definitely knows who I am. Everyone in school does, because of social rankings at our school. To make a long story shorter, I'm pretty popular.

And a grade 10 liking a grade 11 is just kind of weird at our school.

~♧~♧~♧~

"Still staring at her huh?" Jimin popped up beside me, following my gaze to Jieun. He laughed. Into the class followed Taehyung. They were my only friends in my grade, and we were put in the same class. Hallelujah.

Hoseok on the other hand fell lucky, and is in the same class as Jieun, in grade eleven.

In the highest grade, grade 12 was Namjoon, Yoongi and Jin.

"Shut up Jimin" I said while still looking at her.

"Hey! How dare you say that to your elder!" he said jokingly, pushing the back of my head

"Ok Jimin" I said emotionless, not looking at him. He sat in the seat beside me, leaving Taehyung sitting behind us. Well, that is how the teacher put us to sit.

People started rolling in about 5 minutes before class started, and I watched as Jieun got up and left into the school. I sighed, and turned my head to the front of the class.

"Finally she is gone! Can I actually talk to you now?" Jimin asked in my ear, sarcastically.

Then, 2 people, girls, walked over to my desk giggling. Sorry Jimin.

"And this is Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook! Aren't they the cutest?" She said, mumbling the last part into the other girls ear. I look at her confused. My classmate, Jihye was with some girl who I've never seen in my life.

"Hi! I'm Kim Jiyi! Nice to meet you! I'm new!" She bowed, and I slightly bowed back, not really paying attention.

"If you liking Jieun doesn't kill me, then the girls who like you will." Jimin whispered in my ear while pretending to stretch.

"Hello" I said. They giggled back into their desks, as Mr. Shin came in to teach us. (Like a teacher is supposed to do).

After literature, is math. Dumb math.

~♧~♧~♧~

"And that's how linear equations can be more complexly formed. It's harder then grade 9 you see. So do the questions 1 through 56, only doing the odd numbers, and-"

BRINGGG

"Wait, Jeon Jungkook, please come here, everyone else, enjoy lunch. Jimin smirked at me. Ms Nam turned to me. "You seem to be doing fine in everything but math. Why? And didn't you say you wanted to go to Sejong university? You need good grades all 4 years for that, Jungkook. And math is important"

"Yes ma'am" hurry up! I need to go to lunch!

"So do you agree with me when I say you need a tutor for maths? Just for a bit. Why do you want to go to Sejong University anyways?"

That's where Jieun plans on going."oh, just to carry out my dream job"

"Which is?"

"A doctor?"

"Very inspiring. Well, I already asked, and there is a grade 11 willing to help.
Lee-"

Yes!

"Mingyi"

No!

"Lee Mingyi?" I repeated.

"Yep! You can start on... Friday I guess! I really hope you will apply for Sejong in the future Jungkook! You're a good student" Fuck me. I am? Well, if it improves my chances of being with Jieun in the future... though she is applying for arts, while apparently I'm going to be a doctor... I don't even know.

I can finally go to lunch though.

"Thank you Ms Nam. Have a good lunch" I said bowing. And rushing out.

"Why thank you, Jeon Jungkook. I'll see you later."

~♧~♧~♧~

In the lunchroom at last.

"Aren't you going to eat Junkook?"

"I'm not hungry"

A girl, I think in grade 9 came up to me.

"Hiii, Jungkookie, Taehyung, I got you guys chocolate! Don't go on a diet! And I made scarfs!"

"Ah, thank you, but keep your chocolate" Tae said, in my opinion, fakely, but the girl just turned to me, and I didnt care enough to waste my time with her.

"No thanks." I said brushing her off. She left, giving a final wave to Tae, and sat with her friends. I looked over. Jieun was sitting with a few girls, listening to music and sketching. I caught myself staring, and didn't care.

"Jungkookie!" Seokjin squealed, imitating chocolate girl "bro, just ask her out. It won't be like grade 2. Its already a no if you don't ask, but if you ask, there is a chance of it being a yes! I mean, a very slim chance, because it's you we are talking about, but still!"

"You know, that was almost inspiring Jin."

"Wow ok, well thanks for ruining my chances of becoming the next Ted Talker. Do you hate my dreams that much?" he said sarcastically.

"No I hate you guys" I said smiling, but not talking my eyes off Jieun.
