One Month (Lee Jieun & Jeon Jungkook) KOOKU

3 | Last Try

Am I really that bad though?

Yeah. I am.

Even now, I can't give it up. Whenever I see her, I'm bound to ask her, and keep trying, as if maybe one of those times, she'll say yes for a change.

Spoiler alert, it hasn't worked.

Today is also my first dumb tutoring session. Ms Nam must really think I want to get into Sejong University, because all in all, my grades arn't that bad.

But fuck math, and life. Everything sucks.

"What do you suppose he is thinking about?" I heard from beside me.

"Either Jieun, or how to kill us"

"Probably both"

I snap out of my thoughts, and see Yoongi and Jin looking at me.

"Bro, go to class already. The bell is about to ring" I walked away from Jin, heading to my class, not responding. Not because I hated him or something, but because I was mostly contemplating my life decisions.

I walked in to the already very full room. Today I didn't glance out the window at Jieun as always. Instead, I hung out with my oldest friends, debating whether to tell them about my failed confession or not. I mean, they would give me advice, but at the same time say things like 'I told you so' and whatever. You know, friends?

Jimin sat beside me.

"Late again" he said, tapping his nonexistent watch.

"Sorry mom" I scoffed.

"Where were you Jungkook? You're never late to class" Taehyung said, tilting his head very slightly from behind us.

"Explosive diarrhea" Jimin responded.

"Ya! Jimin! That's not it... I was just late..." I stammered.

"I've known you since you learned how to read, and your skills of lying have never changed" Tae said, while moving his seat closer to his desk.

"I'm not late. Class starts in 3" I said, pretending to dig through my very interesting bag.

The bell rang, class started, and ended in a moment.

My lunch moments were still filled with staring at her. Her beautiful hand gracefully moving her pencil across the page gently, as her friends talked about something inaudible.

I tilted my head sadly. If only these moments could be spent with her... not staring at her halfway across the lunch room like a stalker.

Jimin is right. I'm a douchebag. But at least a good looking one... and this isn't how I want to act... but teenage boy hormones make you do things...

In grade school, I'd imagine holding a girls hand... those thoughts have much changed since.

And I love Jieun for her personality too. Her sweet, yet confident figure makes me melt.

~♧~♧~♧~

My last class ended, and I set to Ms Nam's room once more.

"Oh hey Jungkook, I was just about to head out. Lee Mingyi caught a cold. But I found a sub, so... study hard" she said, in a rushed tone, while walking out of the doorway.

I walked into the class. None other then Lee Jieun was sitting in a spot at an empty desk, nose in a grade 10 math textbook.

"Jieun?" I asked. It's fate!
