Secret Gamer

Chapter 14

"Jinyeong. What the hell is that?" Hoseok asked, trembling slightly.
Jinyeong could only look down in shock at her desk. First the note and now this? She couldn't believe it.
"Miss Min? Mis- Oh my god! Who did this?" Jinyeong's teacher, Mr. Minho looked at her desk and all but yelled.
"Jinyeong do you know who did this?" Minho said.
"No sir I-I have n-no idea." Jinyeong was starting to get scared. Really scared. Hoseok watched as his best friend's eyes welled up with tears, stuttering her way through her sentences.
"I-I didn't d-do it I'm s-so sor-ry I'll c-clean it up-p" Jinyeong quickly ran to the bathroom and into a stall, locking it and sliding down onto her knees.
The ink was red and dripping like blood, small pieces of something littering the area around it. It looked like something from a movie, not something that should be on her desk. Jinyeong thought that if she just ignored the note she would be okay, but she was obviously mistaken.
"Jinyeong?" Someone called out in the bathroom.
Jinyeong stayed silent, not wanting anyone to see her like this, shaking, sobbing, and in utter disarray.
"Jinyeong I know you're in here. Hoseok told me you were." Jinyeong peered under the stall and saw the beat up converse that she knew to belong to only one person.
All reason fleeing her mind, she burst through the stall door and ran into Jungkook's arms, scared that if she let go, she would be alone all over again.
"Hey hey you're okay. Mr. Minho called the office and they called your parents. One of your dads is coming to get you. They are going to go through the cameras and see who did this. Jinyeong you'll be fine, I promise. I won't let anything happen to you." Jungkook spoke quietly while stroking Jinyeongs' hair.
"I'm sc-scared Kook. What if someone hurts me? Or you? I c-can't, I can't l-let someone hurt-t you!" Jinyeong started to sob harder, scared that it was her fault for the possibility of Jungkook getting hurt.
"Hey. How about I tell you a secret. Only you will know it, and afterwards, maybe your mind will be taken off of this whole situation." Jungkook was terrified of telling Jinyeong the truth, but he knew it needed to happen.
"Kook you d-don't have to make me feel better. It's not like we're actually dating." Jinyeong started to pull away, realizing that Jungkook was probably just there for appearances, that he probably didn't even want to hear her crying or see her red cheeks when she did.
But instead of Jungkook saying a simple "fine" and leaving, he pulled her back into him and sat down, pulling her down too. He made sure that she was in between her legs with her back against his chest and his arms wrapped around her torso, holding her secure in his grasp.
"Jungkook wha-"  Jinyeong was cut off by Jungkook saying,


"I'm in love with you, Jinyeong."
