Double Trouble | JJK

Five

I indeed met Suzy. She was bubbly and sweet, just like Ji-Eun, (no wonder why they are best friends), and is very kind. I really started to like them both, they have been the kindest to me in the senior year, (Well, including Eun Woo).

"Are you ready, Hyun?" Suzy's voice rang through my ears. Apparently, we were getting ready for P.E (Physical Education) class. I hummed as I put my shoes on.

I exited the stall and Suzy gasped as she saw me, which made me worry. "What's wrong?"

"You. Are. So. Beautiful!" Suzy exclaimed as she walked over to me and took my hand. The hand which she took, made me twirl around, and I giggled at her actions.

"I'm really not." I said, feeling shy. Suzy did a 'tsk' sound and shook her head, eyeing me.

"Look at you, girl." Suzy said. "You are literally perfection! Can you see yourself in the mirror, please? You'd be shocked with yourself."

I didn't look at the mirror as I exited the stall, not wanting to see myself, and I slowly turn around to face the mirror. The swimsuit which I was wearing hugged my body, which showed my curves and hidden features.

"See." Suzy smiled. "Beautiful."

I blushed as I collected my things, along with my swimming cap and goggles and walked out of the bathroom with Suzy. We were wearing our rubber shoes since we left our slippers in the court already.

Suzy and I dropped our bags inside the room, and started making our way towards the covered court. On the way, Suzy couldn't stop talking about how excited she was about swimming class. I was excited too, just a bit nervous. Like always.

We eventually made it to the covered court, and there was chit chat everywhere. Some of the girls were glaring at me and scoffing whenever I would walk past them, which made me feel insecure inside.

Am I too big? Insecurity was eating me up inside, and Suzy seemed to notice. Her eyes softened as she gently took my hands into hers as she smiled gently to calm me down.

"Hey." She whispered. "Don't mind them, you are you, and if they don't accept you, then you should accept yourself. You don't have to please everyone, Hyun."

You don't have to please anyone.

"Okay." I answered after a while. Suzy gave me a supportive smile before she tossed me my slippers, which made a loud sound that echoed in the covered court, some students even jumped by the sound.

I covered my mouth to stifle a giggle that left my lips. I placed my slippers on, and saw Jungkook looking at me. My heart started beating faster as I turned away, nervousness eating me up inside.

I never really knew why I felt so nervous, insecure and anxious at times. I was never like this when I was young, all of these emotions have been happening ever since I was in sixth grade.

I sighed quietly before I sat down beside Suzy on the tiled floor. We were all waiting for our P.E teacher, Mr. Yang, to arrive since he had to collect some files or sort. I was always used to teachers being late, and to be honest, it's a relief that not all teachers have punctuality.

"Okay, okay. Good afternoon, class." Mr. Yang greeted. "And welcome to our Physical Education class. I am your teacher, Mr. Yang, and I will be your teacher for the whole senior year.

For today's activity, we will be doing swimming, also why you all are wearing your respective swimsuits. It will be a fifty-meter race, start to the end, and end to the start. Cheating and standing in the pool will be strictly prohibited. Any act of cheating will not only be disqualified, but will also receive a failing grade for unfairness of play. Are there any questions? None? Great. Please proceed with your stretching and warm-ups."
