NOT SO GOOD BOY

Episode 32

"Jimin, could you come to the teacher's office please?" Mrs Han, his advanced math teacher said with her usual kind smile.

Jimin nodded, quickly packing the remainder of his things before throwing his bag over his shoulder and stepping outside of the classroom, the rest of his classmates finishing their conversations behind him.

He walked down the busy hallways, swiftly dodging other students who apparently weren't as aware of their surroundings as he was. For the first time in what felt like forever, his eyes left the ground to stare in front of him.

It was finally lunch break. Students were chatting amongst themselves loudly as they poured through the halls to go hang out at their favourite spot, go to their lockers or purchase a snack from the vending machines.

Instead of going to eat away from everyone in one of the staircases no one really went to during lunch, he decided to look for Yeongsu and Namjoon, who were probably in line at the cafeteria to buy a sandwich or kimbap.

Fortunately, Namjoon stood out like a sore thumb from his 1.80 m stature (6ft), Jimin had no difficulty spotting his head popping above the other students.

He went to tap his shoulder, finding Yeongsu glued to his side, as per usual.

"Jimin-ah!" Namjoon smiled. "Planning to buy something?"

The tall boy moved over slightly, letting Jimin see the variety of lunches the school offered, but he shook his head.

"I just wanted to come eat with you guys." Jimin answered, mumbling his words slightly to make sure no one noticed his piercing.

"Eyy, shorty is here to join us." Yeongsu exclaimed, wrapping an arm around the younger, jolting slightly as he got a flick to the forehead.

They both walked towards an empty table, Jimin smiled when he caught Jaebyul's eyes as she ate with her friends happily.

"Namjoon-hyung, you're good at math right?" Jimin asked, taking out his lunch as Namjoon sat in across from him, next to Yeongsu.

"I guess." He answered, Yeongsu's head snapping to look at him.

"I guess?!" He asked in disbelief. "You're literally first in our grade!"

Jimin chuckled, getting out a math test he had been handed back a few days prior. He had done well, as usual, but had messed up one of the questions and didn't understand his mistake.

The teacher had said the test was a little harder than usual, just to test their limits, which had caused most of the students to score lower than they usually did, including Jimin.

Namjoon read over the sheet of paper as he ate the kimbap he had just bought from the cafeteria. His eyes scanning over Jimin's messy handwriting.

"Your handwriting is so fucking messy." He said, squinting his eyes to understand best. "But, basically here.."

He pointed to the paper, placing the paper on the able to explain JImin's mistake to him, the younger nodding his head as the knots slowly loosened in his head until he fully understood.

"As expected from the best senior." Jimin said with a wide smile as he took his paper. "Thanks hyung."

With that he stood up.

"Leaving us already?" Yeongsu joked.

"I need to go to the teacher's office." Jimin answered, waving at them with a smile before running out of the cafeteria.

"Isn't he so cute." Yeongsu asked, turning to Namjoon.

"I guess?"

"Thanks hyung." Yeongsu teased, imitating Jimin's higher pitched voice.
