The Bet

Chapter Uno

Nobody ever knows or cares about the kid in the back. He's a nobody, somebody that just doesn't seem to bother making friends or caring about others. He only cares about himself, a selfish bastard. That's what people think.

But that isn't Jeon Jeongguk. If anyone personally knew Jeongguk well, he would be the most selfless person they would know. He cares too much about others that are close to him and would give them anything they desire before thinking of himself. He's a fragile boy but no one knows about that, no one but his friends.

Jeongguk nods his head along to the beat of the music playing in his ears as he writes down random thoughts going through his head in his purple notebook. The black hoodie covering his hair and face hangs low only revealing his pink chapped lips. He doesn't like being seen by others. The thought of having attention on him makes him shiver knowing his anxiety will rise and he'll have a panic attack.

Jeongguk likes to be invisible. Hidden from the crowds of people that will judge him for his looks and for how quiet he is. He rather be a nobody than be judged by strangers.

The brunette hair that's way overdue for a haircut covers Jeongguk's eyes as he continues to scribble words down in his book. He glances up for a second to check his surroundings, relieved that it is still only three other kids with him inside the classroom minding their own business. The pages filled with words inside his notebook are for his eyes only and he would like to keep it that way. All the words he wouldn't like to share with others are written in that notebook. From his thoughts on the few crushes, he gained to his thoughts on himself. All those crude thoughts should never be expressed to others, otherwise, he'll be called an attention-seeker.

Jeongguk continues to scribble about his thoughts that occupied his head in the morning until he was finished. He sighs with a satisfied smile growing on his face as he looks down at the paper with content. It's only 7am and his paper is already full. Usually, when he has an interesting morning or his dreams are crazy from last night then he fills the paper up before his day even starts. So really, the journal is his personal diary.

A content smile forms on his face as he closes his book and looks out the window at his classmates fooling around and walking up to the school outside. He sighs wondering why he couldn't be normal like the other students. He's an introvert so he's too shy to talk to others, he's a geek who loves playing Dungeons and Dragons with his friends, and enjoys avoiding any and all human interaction. He wonders why he's like this yet it makes him happy.

Jeongguk turns his head to look out the classroom windows that give a clear view of the hallways. He rolls his eyes once the sound of squeals and girls screaming their favorite names fill the whole hallway. He becomes even more annoyed and agitated once the view of the girls running down the hall holding gifts and food comes across his vision. Then, the boys walked by.

The six boys who ruin every other guy's chance in school to get a girlfriend because they possess some kind of chick magnet stealing everyone's girl. Even if the girl said she will be with you forever, she'll still somehow end up in one of the six boys' arms. They gave their little clique a name but Jeongguk could care less of what they call themselves. He just knows there's a giant sign hanging above them that screams 'DANGER' because if he's ever caught with any of them, his invisibility will deteriorate.

Jeongguk sighs and lowers his head as he watches the boys stop in front of the middle giant window giving everyone in the classroom a clear picture of the normal morning routine for the boys. The girls crowd around them hoping they get a chance to deliver and share their gifts or home-baked meals with their favorite boy. They treat them like they're celebrities or something.

Of course though, the most popular amongst the six of them is none other than Kim Taehyung... That bastard. He's like some sort of perfect angel that's been possessed by the devil. His looks are out of this world with his curly blonde hair that's almost the same length as Jeongguk's and blue eyes that are obviously contacts. His lips are a nice and glossy rosy pink, kissable.
