Waking up this morning wasn't the easiest thing to do, I knew breakfast would be awful with my host family...plus the rest of the day didn't look too appealing either.

But alas, I must eat!

Mr and Mrs Ghim provided cereal for breakfast, to be honest I was glad it was more than just an apple. It was too awkwardly quite at the table, so I was happy when I finally left for school.

Walking to school had turned out to be pretty nice, all the buildings made me feel like I was somewhere important, somewhere where things actually happen. I felt like a young independent working woman (well... more like learning). Especially since I was also carrying books, making myself look especially busy. I couldn't fit these ones in my bag as it was currently filled to the brim with my sports clothes. As I had characteristically forgotten to bring a second travelling device with me. I always forget something, its like an unspoken law of my life, something has to of been left.... WAAAAAA *splat*

Yes.... you did just fall off the sidewalk Y/N, yes.... it did hurt. But its okay, no one saw, just get back up and keep going. My papers were flying everywhere, Nooo, why did my teachers even make me do homework! It was my first day! Its unfai...

"Hello, are you okay?"

I look up to see a young boy with black hair and big doe-like eyes. He was super cute, like he was a baby still, I wonder how old he is, maybe a bit younger than I am...

"ah, yes. It's okay, I'm okay. Thankyou"

He bent down to help me with my papers and held them out to me as we stood up.

"oh, you speak Korean"

"I'm still learning, but yes, a little bit"

"wow...."

It got a little awkward.... I don't really know what to say... he looks super nervous right now, his eyes are super wide. I decided to break the silence...

"how old are you? ..."

Why on earth did I ask that?! I should have just said thankyou and walked on. He probably thinks you're talking too much.

"15...how old are you"

"14 still, I wish my birthday was sooner"

I could tell he was jittery with his hands and eyes, maybe he wasn't good around strangers. I'm surprised at myself for being able to talk this confidently in another language. As we talked, we started walking along, I guess he was going the same way I was. As soon as we took our first step his eyes instantly met the floor... and there they stayed for a while, until he talked...

"Actually, it was my birthday a few days ago"

"Really!!, when was it?"

"September 1st"

"woooow that was yesterday!!, Happy birthday!!"

I said with the biggest smile I could muster, he smiled up at me for a second before lowering his gaze back down to his feet. 

"did you celebrate?"

"A little, my friends and I had dinner out"

"WAIT! ..I have a present for you"

He looked shocked at me for a second, while I pushed my books under my arms and searched desperately in my bag for something. When I found it, I pulled it out and handed it to him, he took it hesitatively.

"What is it?"

I had handed him a little wrapped sweet called 'warhead' and tried to hold back my evil smile.

"It's candy, reallllllly extreme, so be careful"

He looked at me for a second with no expression, then a smile.

"thankyou"

He unwrapped it

"be careful"

His smile changed into something resembling a challenging smirk... 

This smirk though quickly changed into one of disgust and cringe once the sweet started to dissolve. I couldn't help the laugh that erupted from my throat.

"ahhh ewww"

His face slowly made its way into a bright smile as the sour taste slowly faded. His big eyes crinkled as he looked up at me while I was still laughing hysterically.

"I'm so sorry, I couldn't stop myself"

He started giggling along with me.

"that was mean"

He whined a little at the end.

"I'm sorry that was mean, but at least you won't forget it"

He smiled sweetly at me this time and I smiled back. I really liked this guy; he had an amazing aura that made me just want to smile. But he didn't have any uniform on so I guess I wouldn't see him at school.

"you don't have a uniform on, do you not go to school?"

"I do, but not a lot, only occasionally since in busy working"

"omg you have a job! But you're only 15!"

He giggled at my dramatic arm movements.

"It's okay, it's what I want to do"

As he said this he stopped moving and changed positions to the left side of me, this time facing me. His eyes though still avoided mine.

"This is where I work"

I looked up to the building seeing a big sign that read 'BIGHIT'.... what's that

"I've got to go; I'll see you later?"

"yeah sure, of course, bye bye!"

I waved back at him as I started walking forward towards school.

"Wait!" he suddenly yelled "What's your name?"

I didn't even realize I didn't ask for his name or even told him mine.

"I'm Y/N"

He smiled again

"I'm Jungkook"

We smiled once more and waved a little awkwardly before turning and walking our separate ways.

He was really nice; I hope I see him again.... I can't believe he doesn't have to go to school... UNFAIR!!

Oh wait... what time is it? ....oh no...I'M LATE!!
