"Okay Jinyoung, please go round and collect the English assignments.", Ms. Park said to the cute yet sharp tongued class president.
Jinyoung got up and started moving from desk to desk collecting the assignments, not forgetting to smack Jackson's head.
Jungkook silently prayed for something to come up so he would be excused from class. With all the drama that happened over the weekend, he totally forgot about the assignment.
Jinyoung arrived at his desk, looking at him expectantly.
"Dude...", Jungkook said, his face explaining his story.
"Dude...", Jinyoung shook his head before moving on.
After collecting all the assignments, Jinyoung placed them on the teacher's desk, flashing her a cute smile. Of course, every teacher loved the cute Jinyoung, if only they knew the not so cute tongue behind his cute smile.
Ms. Park began going through the papers, checking of everyone had submitted theirs.
"Hmm, that's strange. I can't seem to find your assignment Jungkook.", Ms. Park looked up from the papers to Jungkook.
"I was busy so it kinda slipped my mind. I'll make sure to do it and bring it to you first thing tomorrow morning.", Jungkook scratched his nape.
"You must've been really busy seeing as you have never failed to submit your assignments ever since..., when did I start teaching you all again?", Ms. Park trailed off, trying to remember if it was two or three years. One could never really tell when teaching the A2 class.
"Uh...yeah.", Jungkook smiled nervously.
That was when Jungkook remembered that the reason he always never failed to submit an assignment for the past five years was because Lalisa always made sure to do his, whether he was aware or not, whether he approved of it or not.
Jungkook looked back two seats behind him on the next column. He expected to see her looking at him, smiling at him, but...no.
Lalisa was conversing with Jisoo and Mingyu who was on the same row as her but the next column, Jungkook's column.
She seemed okay. In fact she looked perfectly fine, giggling at Jisoo's silliness and Mingyu's jokes.
He couldn't help but feel slightly irritated. Jisoo was her seatmate so it wouldn't be that hard to chat discreetly but Mingyu? Was she trying to get them both called out for talking in class?
Jungkook hadn't realised he was still staring until he felt Taehyung tap his arm, signalling him to concentrate on what Ms. Park was explaining.
That was when he realised she was looking back as well. But he realised that her eyes seemed distant, like they weren't looking at him, like he wasn't even present there at the moment.
Jungkook didn't know why but be felt a slight pang in his chest.
