"Good morning, Jungkook, where's your brother?" Mom asks me when I take a sit on the table and start eating my breakfast.

"Don't know. Don't care." I speak, not even looking at her. Dad keeps with his newspaper and mom sighs.

"When will you two get along? It's already been a year since your dad and I got married." I have accepted mom's husband as my dad but I can't accept him as my brother. I hate that guy!

"Mom, please! Don't get at it again. I have football practice first thing in school and I'm gonna let Namjoon ruin that for me." I reply as I come to the end of my breakfast.

Dad and her exchange a look and I leave. Not giving a shit.

NJ pov-

I take a deep breath as I shut the book in front of me. Fuck, I shouldn't have pulled another all nighters. It's becoming a habit of me to study or read all night and have an instant regret the next morning.

I shower, get dressed and head downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning, Namjoonah." Mom smiles.

"Morning, mom." I reply as politely as I can and start brewing coffee for myself.

"Studied all night again?" She asks while making toast for me.

"Can't help it." I shrug and start eating.

After a casual conversation, I leave. I know Jungkook left already, just as I like it. Seeing his face first thing in the morning, ruins my entire day.

Just as I walk a couple steps, a car pulls up beside me and I smile at the driver. My best friend, Jin.

"Namjoonah, my bro!" He yells out, turning down the glass. I chuckle and get in.

"Hey, Yoongi." I wave at my second best friend, sitting on the back seat, with headphones on. He just shows me his middle finger, without looking up from his phone and I smile. This is just how he is.

Jin pulls up in the parking and we get out, heading straight to our shared class. Jin keeps blabbering about some computer game he discovered last night, Yoongi listening uninterestedly and me, still focused on the last chapter I studied in the morning.

When we get to out seats and I yawn, Yoongi hands me a gum. "Saving you from sleeping." He tells and I thank him.

I don't waste a second and take out my book.

"Oh, come on, Namjoon! Take a break!" Jin sighs but I just shrug. "Jesus! You and this addiction of yours. Why are you such a nerd?"

"I don't like labeling myself. So, rather than calling me nerd, I'd rather you say that my interest lies in books or my first priority is studying." I explain to Jin.

"Alright, NERD." He speaks and shrugs, making me shake my head."

The class start and teacher enters and starts taking attendance. But stops when she comes on, "Jeon Jungkook? Jeon Jungkook?" She looks at his empty seat and sighs, turning towards me. "Your brother isn't in the class. Again."

I shrug. What can I do with that? He must be playing soccer with his squad or dying somewhere for all I care.

Teacher continues, "Why are you two so different? Why don't you teach your brother some manners, Namjoon? He's the total opposite of you."

"I'm aware of that miss, but I'm afraid teaching a pig to hate mud is out of my league." I reply. The entire class laugh and it soon die down when he finally enters. Jeon Jungkook.

Jk pov-

Just as I step inside the class, all eyes lock with mine. Including the one I'd rather snatch off their sockets and play football with. Kim Namjoon.

"Oh, look who showed up." Teacher spits sarcasm.

I roll my eyes and walk towards my seat, followed by my two best friends, Kim Taehyung and Park Jimin.

"Just thank god that the practice postponed and y'all are able to see this pretty face. It's a blessing." I speak and Jimin and Tae laugh, followed by others.

"Huh. More like a curse." Comes a familiar voice behind me. I clench my jaws and turn around to face Namjoon. He stares back at me.

"Okay, enough. Attention here, everyone." Miss calls out and I sit back straight.

"What's his problem, man?" Jimin whispers to me.

"Oh, I wish I knew." I reply.

"Ignore him. He's just a nerd, a nobody craving for attention." Tae speaks and we continue with the class.

The day passes by like usual. Our squad ignoring Namjoon's squad and vice-versa. We six are like swear enemies.

Finally, when I head home, I find everyone in a serious mood, sitting on the couch.

"Everything okay?" I ask mom.

Namjoon glances at me for a second then looks away. I lock eyes with mom and she sighs.

"Kookie, your father and I have decided to take a break." She starts.

"Okay...?" I frown with confusion.

"We've decided to go on a vacation. To jeju island." Dad continues.

"Alright. That's great. But I don't see where you're getting at." I speak.

"They mean they're leaving us alone in this house for the time being, genius." Namjoon tells me in frustration and I frown.

"What? No way!" I yell at my parents.

"I'm sorry kids, but that's the only possible idea we can think of to unite the two of you. And also, I guess we deserve a little trip to refresh ourselves." Dad tells the both of us. Namjoon stays silent but looks irritated.

"No, dad! Mom! How could you?" I yell again.

"We're leaving tonight." Mom says, completely ignoring me.

"But mom-"

"You don't have to worry about the money. Ask me anytime and I'll transfer the amount here, alright?" Dad speaks, cutting me off.

Then they both get up and head to their bedroom. I furiously turn towards Namjoon.

"Why didn't you say anything!?"

"I'd be useless."

"You didn't even try!"

"I don't try useless things. They're all set. They booked the tickets and made up their minds. If you still think I can change it all, then hats off to you."

I groan and run upstairs to my bedroom, locking the door!

The nightmare has begun!
