18| an endless banter

Jungkook trudges into his chem class, pulling open the door with one hand while the other holds his textbook; his black backpack hanging over his broad shoulders. Monday was never his favourite day of the week, appearance looking rushed and lazy. He was dressed in an oversized gray pullover that looks like he found it on the ground. It was crumpled.

His hair was tousled, not even looking like he atleast tried to tame it with a hairbrush. Yet somehow, he still manages to look roguishly handsome; gaining the attention of a few girls who blushed at the sight of him. He doesn't really pay any mind, passing by with a grunt and taking his seat beside you who had gotten there an hour ago.

You were occupied by the chemistry notes infront of you and kept nibbling on the tip of a pencil. You were dressed in a black and white long sleeve shirt, skinny black jeans on your legs, white high top converse on the feet, and your hair styled with a top notch on your head; black rimmed glassed sitting on the top of your nose.

Upon noticing Jungkook's presence, you removed the pencil from your mouth before placing it inside the textbook and turning towards him. After taking in his appearance, you scrunched your nose in distaste. "Yo, why do you look like you were being chased by street dogs?"

The latter opened his tired eyes and turned to look at you, presenting you with a lazy smile.

"Good morning to you too." He sarcastically greeted before closing his eyes again and resting his head on the table on his folded arms.

You frowned at his odd behaviour. Not to mention he looked homeless, completely opposite to who he actually is. Placing your textbook aside, you too folded your arms on the table and rested your head on it.

"Kook." You softly called him. You wanted to know why there was a sudden change in his demeanour whereas until yesterday he was doing just fine.

Not getting any response in return, you slowly poked his arm. "Jungkook." He let out a quiet hum. You sighed.

"Look at me." You said him in a low voice, trying not to disturb him. He softly sighed before slowly turning his head to your side. You lightly gasp at his state; his eyes and nose were red, he could barely open his eyes to look at you. You immediately placed your hand on his forehead and let out another gasp. "Jungkook, you're burning!"

He just responded with a slight nod. You wonder how he even managed to wake up and come here in this state. You couldn't help but worry.

"What happened to you?" You whispered before trailing your hand down to his cheek and softly caressing it. He unconsciously leaned into your warm hand making you smile.

He opened his eyes as much as he could to look at you. "I was practicing for my upcoming match till midnight in the stadium..."

"And...?" You raised your brow.

He sighed, "I may or may not have forgotten to take my jacket with me?" He let out sheepishly.

You gasped before lightly hitting his head. "Idiot! How can you forget to wear a jacket in this weather?"

"Ow, that hurt!" He groaned, faking.

"I didn't hit you with a stone or something." You scoffed, playfully.

"Still!" He pouted, making you chuckle.

Boots tapping against the concrete, Yoongi entered the backstage of the arena.

"Hello there." His manager, Mr. Bang greeted him with a bright smile.

"Hi, Mr. Bang." Yoongi bowed to him before starting to get ready for his match.
