CHAPTER 36:

park chaeyoung's point of view

arts exhibit for the school festival is once again approaching, that's why i decided to help president jimin oppa in the arts club.

so here i am, carrying boxes oif paint, along with jungkook who's carrying canvasses, walking towards the arts club from the store.

jungkook and i were talking to eachother, when we suddenly heard a 'baaam' followed by the canvas he's holding falling to the ground and a female student along with it.

it turns out, he collided with her and now she's on the ground with the canvasses.

"i'm so sorry!" jungkook panicked and stretched his hand to help her.

the girl raised her head--oh, she's pretty--and accepted his hand. he helped her up, but failed because her leg couldn't stand up. maybe she sprained her ankle during the fall.

"kookie, i think you should bring her to the nurse's office." i told him.

"but she can't even stand up."

"aniyo, it's okay. uhm, i can manage." the girl tried smiling but it only come out as forced. looks like she's hurting. i looked at her name tag; tzuyu, her name is tzuyu.

"uh, is it okay if i just carry you?" jungkook asked.

"mwo?!" mwo?! tzuyu and i reacted the same. only that i reacted in my head.

but hey, it's jungkook we're talking about here. he's maybe just guilty for hitting her that's why he's doing his best to help.

"aniyo, sunbaenim. i'm really okay." tzuyu politely declined.

"tzuyu-ssi, you need help. please just let him help." i smiled at her.

"but..."

i crouched and got the canvas from the floor and placed it on top of the box of paint i'm carrying. "kookie, go bring her to the infirmary. i'll be bringing this to oppa." i said and walked away.

after a few seconds, i looked back.

i saw him carrying her like some knight in shining armor who helped a princess. he was dashing through the halls and everyone who could see them would stop and turn.

i smiled bitterly to myself.

stop feeling that, rosie. jealousy is an ugly feeling.

"uhm, excuse me." a person asked. i had to tilt my head to look at who that was. oh. i don't know them. but i do know that they're younger than me. one boy and one girl.

"why?" i asked, trying to smile.

"do you need some help, eonnie?" asked the girl.

i haven't answered yet, but the boy already got the canvasses from the top of the box i'm holding. he smiled at me. what a cutie!

"juyeon, eonnie still haven't answered, you shouldn't just get it from her like that." the girl said and 'juyeon' looked at her innocently.

"but noona looks like he's having troubles carrying them. if i could help, i should." juyeon said, and upon hearing his words, i smiled. those were the words i always tell myself too. it's good to know that other people thinks like that as well.

"it's okay. thank you guys." i smiled at them. i'm really doing great in this socializing thing.

"you're welcome!" the girl smiled. she's pretty. she was still smiling as she got one canvas to carry from juyeon.
