Euphoria Academy✔︎

03: Busan to Seoul

"I need to tell Songmin about this..." Jungkook told himself. Jungkook jumped back downstairs and rushed out the front door. He ran to Songmin's house a few blocks away from his.

Jungkook stopped and entered the entrance to catch his breath. He slowly and weakly started to walk to the front door of his house. Jungkook knocked on the door still catching his breath. Songmin opened the door.

"Songmin—"

Before Jungkook could say anything Songmin immediately slammed the door. Jungkook knocked again, finally standing up straight. Songmin opened again. "What do you want, kook?" Songmin asked, biting his lip angrily.

"I won't be able to come to school..." Says Jungkook. Songmin raised his eyebrow. "I'm attending Euphoria Academy..." Continued Jungkook. Songmin out of jealousy he said, "Did you buy your way in? Huh?"

Jungkook was shocked at his response. "No, I—"

"I don't care Jungkook. Just leave. I'm happy you won't be able to come. I don't want to see your face again. You freak!" Songmin finishes.

Songmin slammed the open. Jungkook was hurt and speechless. Jungkook turned around with his head down and walked home. Once he was there he ignored his parents and tried to go to sleep instead.

The next day came by. Jungkook was snoring and drooling on his pillowcase. It was 7:07 in the morning and everything looked peaceful. Jungkook's mother stepped inside and took off his blanket.

"Mom!" Jungkook whined half-asleep covering himself again with his blanket.

"Wake up! It's today. You're going to Euphoria Academy." Mom says softly but excitedly. Jungkook felt bewildered at first and then remembered. "Your father bought tickets. We need to be at the station by 8:20." She informs as Jungkook jumps out of bed to the restroom.

He went to go shower and brush his teeth. Once out he brushed his brown fluffy coconut hair and got on a black shirt and black pants with black boots.

He adds the stuff he needs to his backpack. Like a toothbrush and shampoo. He puts other things he would want to bring in those 10 months being in Seoul. He grabs his phone and his Apple Earbuds (He doesn't own AirPods) and puts them in his pocket.

He sees his whole family sitting down at the dinner table eating breakfast before going to the station. His mother's eyes slowly start to trail off as he comes in. A smile forms on her face.

"Jungkook, baby, come sit down. You don't want your food to get cold."

Jungkook smiles back and walks up to the table to sit next to his dad. Jungkook looks at his brother. Junghyun looks at him with a glare of jealousy. Junghyun has always been mom's favorite and Jungkook has been a dad. It was weird that mum was focusing on Jungkook more.

"I had a friend go to Euphoria Academy," Jungkook's dad started. Jungkook seemed invested with the first line.

"What happened, dad?"

"My childhood friend told me about the letter a few days before the First day of high school. I never saw him again. Only for the summer. But when we're together he seems more quiet than usual. I swear that there is something that they do to their students that they don't tell us." Dad confessed.

"I wanted to go to Euphoria Academy when I was younger," Mom began, "That school was so popular in those days and it still is! But the school was so strict with outsiders. Some rich parents wanted to buy their kids through but the school would refuse every time." Mom said

Jungkook thought for a second. He's the first one in his family to go to a school like this and he didn't even have to buy his way through. They chose him to go. That's kind of suspicious. That's what Jungkook felt.
