"Where were you the whole time?" Jessie asks me once our class meets up in one area outside.

"Um," I look over at Jungkook with his group of friends a little ways behind Jessie, "I was there the whole time, I guess we just didn't cross paths?"

Rebecca looks at me with an untrusting stare, "I thought I saw you with Jungkook."

"Yeah," I admit because there's no point in denying that one. "Our project is together."

She nods but her stare stays the same, "Alright. As long as you didn't do what Mark and Willow did."

"What did they do?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Let's just say the only view they got of the museum was in the janitors' closet."

"Then no, that's not what happened." I tell her honestly and glance to Jessie for help.

"Anyway, let's just go get some food and then get back to our classes." Jess picks up on it right away with a smile.

I go back to my dorm after classes with Jungkook right next to me.

"Did we really get kicked out of a museum?" I ask in astonishment and plop down on my couch.

"Don't forget banned, too." He smiles a little and pulls a soda from my mini fridge.

"I just can't believe it." I put my hands on my temples, "I'm such a good student! What if I lose my scholarship? What if-"

"You'll be fine, El." He sits next to me, "No one saw anything. Not even Jessie saw us come out of the museum together. As long as we keep it to ourselves, we'll be fine."

"How can you be so insouciant?" I suddenly turn my face towards him.

He shrugs, "I have experience with doing less than great things."

"So you've been banned from a museum before?"

"Well, I have now." He smirks and takes a sip of the cold beverage.

I pull out my phone, "At least I got some good pictures."

He scoots over to me to see the pictures I'm bringing up.

The first few are portraits, and then scenes where a Greek god is present, and then one of Aphrodite, "These are so pretty." I gawk at the photos.

I swipe to the next picture and Jungkook's blurry figure is in the frame.

I smile and he laughs at the photo before I swipe to the next, an even blurrier one.

We go through a few more photos until I reach the photo in which he fell directly afterwards.

Aside from it being the photo before disaster struck, it actually turned out pretty well.

The lighting is bright against his playful features, his bunny smile is on full display, his brown eyes are a little squinted and the corners of his eyes wrinkle ever so slightly.

I swipe to go to the next photo after staring at that one for a few seconds. I didn't even realize I had more photos after that one, but I am beyond happy I do.

The next photo shows him mere milliseconds into his fall. I smile and swipe to the next one. His expression changes in this one and he looks slightly more worried.

I giggle at it and swipe to the next where he's blurry and in a quick descent, his arm is out to break his fall.

My smile grows wider with each photo until I full on laugh at the one where his face is somehow clear, making the most terrified expression I've ever seen.
