Jungkook looks down at his watch... 7:50 am, he is still ten minutes early for his lectures. He could feel eyes on him, he must really look out of place. He was dressed in a black t-shirt and black jeans. It was his first day at Uni, but he did not feel like dressing up so he put on the first things that came in his hand. He looks through his time table and then his schedule for today to kill the time.

"Hi" Jungkook is startled by a girl's voice next to him.

"Hi..." he replies not knowing what to say next.

"I am Park Jihyo" she extends her hand to him.

Jungkook stares at it a bit before shaking, "I am Jeon Jungkook".

"Are you new around?" She asks.

Jungkook feels weird. He does not like talking to new people much. He usually prefers to keep his distance and not get too attached. But at the moment he does not know how to react, in the last few months he stayed here he had only interacted with his Gym trainer and his hyungs.

"I am here since three months" he answers bluntly, three months and he has roamed streets like crazy.

"Ok. I will see you around then?" She asks, somewhat disappointment hinting in her tone from lack of response she expected.

"Sure" Jungkook says. He takes a deep breath as soon as she walks away. It is not like she is not pretty. Jihyo is cute if he must describe but he... he dare not even think about it. He has been approached many times in last month to know why she even cared to talk to him. But he just... he was broken out of his thoughts as professor approached the class. The lectures went on until the bell rang, it is lunch break. He gathers his stuff and leaves the class. He does not feel like eating but his phone beeps, a text message from Namjoon hyung. 'I am in cafeteria, where are you?' it reads. He forgot he had to meet Namjoon. He and Yoongi hyung are really close friends and Yoongi has asked Namjoon to keep Jungkook company, it was more of a 'keep an eye on him and look after him for a while'. He heads towards where cafeteria is supposed to be. But after taking few turns he know he is lost. He calls Namjoon asking for direction but still he can not find it. Jungkook finds himself on a empty floor now. There is no one around. He looks around to make sure that he is still on the ground floor, but hell this uni is huge. It has so many departments. In last ten minutes he knows where is the science department, which way to go for common library and that it has two entrances and they are not two different libraries. It is just huge. Finding classroom was much easier, how could they have so many turns? He calls Namjoin again, the phone rings and Namjoon quickly pics up.

"Hey kid, where are you?" Namjoon asks.

"I am lost!" Jungkook says annoyedly

"Just tell me what you see around or ask someone for where you are" he instructs again.

"Hyung its an empty corridor and kinda secluded. There are only classrooms and no one around." he says. This part is unlike any other departments. This place has view of trees and a bit of open space. Its like a beautiful backyard.
