《Rivals》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 If only I could be born in another century, away as far as possible from Jeon Jungsoo, that would be great. "hold up." Jungsoo grips my wrist painfully, almost digging into my skin. His eyes were malicious, a certain bloodlust roaring in his re. "Did you just draw a fucking dick on my face?" Entrance exams. First ce, Jeon Jungsoo. Middle Year Exams. First ce, Jeon Jungsoo. End of Year Exams. First ce, Jeon. Fucking. Jungsoo. And there my name was written, right below his. It almost seemed like mockery. I''ve been top in the school since forever - and I intended to stay this way. Until I graduated middle school, and entered one of the most prestigious high schools in Korea. And yet, this annoying scumbag, who doesn''t seem to care about anything at all, managed to beat me in every major exam. It made mypetitive blood boil. ".....nice to know y''all..." Jungsoo stood on stage, behind the podium without a care in the world. The student who topped the entrance exam was selected to deliver the speech for the entrance ceremony. It was such a big honour, but.... "Ah, and those who wanted my number, have to beat me in the next exam." he speaks into the mic, a devilish smug look on his face. "KYAAAAAAA!" all the girls around me screamed until my ears fell off. The other guys had a distasteful look on their faces, and so do I. I rolled my eyes to heaven. I fell a little short on the entrance exam, I''ll top the next major examinations for sure. Was my initial n. There I stood in front of the bulletin board, the exact same result as thest. Jeon Jungsoo, first. Min Soojung, second. "Miss Soojung, let''s work harder next time, shall we?" Jungsoo leans his back against the wall, the annoying smirk stered on his face. I shot him a death re, passing by withrge steps. "So you really want my number." I heard his cocky voice behind my back, and fury sparked in me. And then I swiftly turned my body, my right leg crashing onto the wall next to his hips. Interest piqued in his eyes as he faces me as well, slightly shocked by the situation I''ve made. I folded my arms mockingly. "bitch." I red right at him, with gritted teeth. "Don''t get too ahead of yourself, who wants your number?" "Second ce Soojung?" he replied with a wide grin. "I don''t want your stupid number, I want first ce. I''ll win you, so just watch Jungsoo." I leaned my arm oh-so-gangsterly on my thigh, bending forward. My leg was still up on the wall. His eyes darted to my skirt, and back to my face. "Really? I''m looking forward to it" He leans into my ear closely, whispering those arrogant words with confidence. I rolled my eyes at his attempt to flirt with me. It would never work, I identify as a singr human with arge S. "I''ll wipe that annoying smile off your face soon." I gave myst warning, before letting him go. I smiled to myself victoriously, stuffing both hands into my vest pockets. "Polkadot pattern." He suddenly calls, causing my body to freeze in position. "What did you say?" I nervously turned towards Jungkook, who is looking at my thighs. "Miss Polkadot Panties" he said loudly on purpose, and a panick wave hit me. Immediately I covered my thighs with my hands, not doing much. It felt like his stares pierced though my clothing. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. "Ugh...I hate you" tears were welling in my eyes from the embarrassment. He chuckled slightly at my reaction, clutching his stomach. I wanted to hide in a hole and rot there forever. "you know what? you''re kind of cute" he tousled my hair, in which I pped his hand away. "yeah right, yboy." I said with a sarcastic tone. "How many girls have you said that to?" He frowns a little at my reply, observing my face carefully. "I''m not a yboy." he answers incredulously. As if I''d believe that, number provider. Without hesitation i turned to leave, far away from this jerk. I wanted nothing to do with him at all. But things didn''t exactly go my way. "O..." I face nted on the floor, in the middle of the ssroom filled with students. When I got up from the ground, Jeon Jungsoo stood there with his foot sticking out. "Is this funny to you?!" I kicked him, but he dodges without an effort. His friends gave me a pitiful look, and one of them offered me a handkerchief to wipe my knees. But I couldn''t help but recall how I tripped, how mentally ashamed it made me feel. "You will regret this" I challenged him, right in front of his friends. I''m never going down without a fight, over my dead body. I''ll rather kill myself than to let him embarrass me again. "We''ll see about that" he epts my challenge with a smug look. I watched as his hand travelled from the desk to my wrist, pulling me into an embrace. My facended onto his muscr chest, and his arm snaked around my waist. I looked up rmingly at him, our faces just merely inches apart. He stares into my eyes for a while, before breaking eye contact and moving close to my ear. "...Miss polkadot patterns." Chapter 2 Chapter 2 "next, algebra..." I flipped over the pages of my revision notes, fully focused on the math equations messily written all over with coloured ink. I wasn''t the best at decorating my notes, and everything always seemed disorganised. My butt begins to itch from the grass I was sitting on, so I adjusted my shorts. It''s probably rude to do so, but everyone else was exercising on the track anyway. But why is the gym wear so revealing? My entire bare thigh was exposed to the air. Did some pervert design this... "Aren''t you trying too hard?" I heard a familiar cocky voice from the side. Sure enough, it was Jung-I- got-first-ce-soo. I raised my head, gulping as soon as I caught sight of him. He was wearing his gym shirt and track pants. It was white, and soaked through with his sweat. I didn''t want to admit - but he was hot as fuck. This is from N?velDrama.Org. Jungsoo seems to notice what I was thinking, as his eyes followed the direction of where I stared. He combs his hair back to the side, before sitting down next to me with a smirk. "You''re skipping physical education just so you can study?" he mocks me, lying down on the grass with his eyes fixed on my notes. I groaned in annoyance. "I''m sick, okay?" I lied. "Lovesick? for me?" He grins yfully, propping an elbow on the grass. And he stares into my eyes waiting for an answer. "more like, I''m sick of your bullshit" I shot a disgusted look at him, earning an amused reaction. He sits up, leaning closer towards my body. "If you really wanted my number, you can just ask you know?" he raises my chin so I''m facing him. "Omo! Can I really?" I pretended to be flustered. Jungkook''s eyes lit up at my reply, and he nods with a smile. "my number is- Before he could continue, I pushed him onto the grassy surface, my body hovering over his. Jungkook''s face was shocked, but excitement soon took over when he analysed my facial expression. "Too bad, but I don''t really wanna know." I whispered into his ear, the same way he did to me. As I pulled away, his eyes were fixed on my gym attire, thirst in his intense gaze. I flinched slightly when he intentionally rubs his knee onto my inner thighs for a split second. "Are you wearing those panties underneath?" He questioned. Instantly my hands moved away, standing up in front of him. I pulled the hem of my shirt down to cover whatever thigh that was exposed. "Min Soojung...Just what are you?" He stared at me as if I was some interesting rare disy. There was the same amusement in his voice, a sort of mysteriousness that added to his persona. "Me? I''m a better person than you." I answered, my lips curved into a satisfied smile. And just like that, I left him lying there, walking away as far as possible to avoid catching any of his stupid antics and innuendos. He was making my school life alot harder than it should be, and it made me frustrated beyond my control. _______________________________________ I spent two more hours in the next period with him stealing nces at me. He was seated right behind, asionally trying to gain my attention. "Soojung." He calls me, pushing the leg of my chair with his foot. "Polkadots" he calls again, and I continued ignoring him. "Polkadot pant- "YAH!" I turned around in rm, covering his mouth with my hand. I didn''t realize what situation I''ve gotten myself into until I felt multiple pairs of eyes staring at me. "Two of you, get out!" The teacher exims angrily. - "This is all your fault" I snapped at him, pushing his shoulder. "Yah, you were the one who didn''t respond!" he snaps back, pushing his shoulder against mine. "Enough! Do you want detention?" The teacher''s voice resonated from inside the ssroom. I felt my cheeks flush a crimson red when the entire ss started to hold back theirughter. "I hate you." I whispered to Jungsoo, facing the other way. _______________________________________ "Alright. Remember to study for the test tomorrow, you''re dismissed!" the teacher grabs the duster to erase the chalk on the ckboard. And as she did, I spotted the two people that were selected for morning duty tomorrow. "....fuck." I cursed my bad luck when I saw Jungsoo and my name written together. My mood plummeted, the onlyforting thing is the figure that waited for me outside the ssroom. "Soojung, are you done? Let''s walk home together." my older brother smiled, his eyes dazed and sleepy. "No, you go back first. I need to study more in the library." I assured him. Yoongi nods, his hands ruffling my hair gently. "Your sister?" another boy appeared from behind him, a lovely eye smile on his face. He observes me closely, and pats my head. "Hey," my brother frowns slightly. "only I can do that." He takes his hand away. "Uh¡ªSorry, I have to get going. It was nice meeting you." I nodded politely at Yoongi''s friend, before heading off. _______________________________________ "Again?" I facepalmed as I saw the very familiar figure that upied only table. I wanted to study peacefully, but he seems to be everywhere I go. I approached the table cautiously, not wanting him to notice I was there. But I realized that the boy was sleeping soundly on the table, his head resting atop of his arm. I sat down opposite him, studying his facial features. "Jeon Jungsoo." I called out to him, but he stirs gently in his sleep. I pinched his cheeks in attempts to wake him up, to no avail. And suddenly, a genius idea popped up in my head, causing a devilish grin to form on my lips. "Jungsoo, time for a taste of your own medicine..." I held up my ck permanent marker. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 "a pair of balls, and we''re done..." I muttered to myself as Ipleted the masterpiece on his forehead. I almost pissed myself thinking of his reaction when he realizes it. Right when I finished the drawing, Jungkook stirs awake, almost giving me a cardiac arrest. I smiled nervously at him, but he seemed unfazed that I was beside him. "...Soojung" he mumbled sleepily, blinking a few times. His hand made their way to mine, holding it firmly. "wha......let go of me!" I whispered aggressively to him as I couldn''t talk loudly. He doesn''t seem to budge, so I hit his head lightly with a book to wake him up. Jungkook squeezes my hand, before jostling to his fully awaken state. "It''s polkadot girl" he grins at me, lying on hand which was still tightly interlocked with mine. He rubbed circles on my palm teasingly. Normally I would''ve been flustered, but seeing the drawing on his forehead, I had to hold back my laughter and put on my best pokerface. "I came to tell you that I''ll ace tomorrow''s test, so watch out." I acted normally, eyeing him with determination. Jungkook ys with my fingers, his eyes staring at them as he did. "It would be the same oue," he looks up at me, his cheeks pressing on his arm. "why bother?" "tsk...let go before I cut your hand off." I shot a murderous re at him. Since the boy didn''t move a muscle yet again, I just forcefully pulled away from his grasp. He immediately follows me as I took my bag and scurried out of the library. "If I top the test tomorrow, I get your number" Jungkook proposes, making my blood boil. It''s as if he was so confident about it, and there''s no way - no way I''m letting that happen. "Sure thing, and what do I get?" I turned towards him, who was slightly bothered by the students who passed by, holding back theirughter. "you get to order me around for 3 days" he replies conceitedly. I beamed in delight at the ingenious idea, how great it would be for me to teach this prick a lesson he won''t forget. "Deal." I nodded with satisfaction, showing him a thumbs down sign to mock him. Jungkook''s lips turn up in amusement, and he starts to approach me until a student suddenly interrupted us. "Oh Jungkook....you look....handsome." the male student chuckled, almost our of breath. This is from N?velDrama.Org. "What''s with you and the others?" He raises his eyebrow in confusion, scanning the area that was full of students that crowded up and were pointing at him. And thats when something clicked in him. Jungkook instantly pulls out his phone, his eyes darting to the reflection on the screen. I felt rising bloodlust as he did so, his re shooting right through my body. "Well....I''ve got to go.." Iughed nervously, turning around to flee the scene of crime. "hold up," Jungkook gripped my wrist, and I could feel his anger when he squeezed it tightly. He eyed me like he wanted to murder me right then and there. "Did you just draw a dick on my face?" he questioned with a menacing voice. "I used permanent marker" I confessed, trying my hardest not to burst out inughter. He runs a hand across his face frustratedly, not knowing what to say. "That''s it, Soojung. I''m dering war." he lets go of my hand, staring into my eyes with fury. "Oh? Try me." I replied back nonchantly, not a single shred of fear found inside me. _______________________________________ "NOOOOOO!" I mmed my head on the table, the test paper flying to the floor. I was beyond frustrated. I was pissed. "99? What a shame." I could hear the jerk beside me, bending down to pick up the test paper. I quickly wiped off my angry tears, swiping the paper out of his hand. "Number?" he smirks, tilting his head to the side cockily. I was filled with despair and agony. He challenged me, and I lost to him. "I''m not even going to respond to you" I reluctantly typed my contact into his phone, pressing a tad bit hard on the screen. "Hey, exert less pressure please. This isn''t Nokia, it''s iPhone." Jungkook reads the number, before spamming the backspace on my contact name. "What did you rewrite as my name?!" I tried to grab his phone back, but as usual, he dodged it efficiently and effortlessly. I was left to wonder about what on earth my contact name on his phone was. "I''ll text you tonight. Make sure to see it, it''s about the uing election campaigns" he leans over closer to me, whispering into my ear. "Election campaigns...." I mumbled to myself, thinking of the top goals I had when I entered this school - to be the president of the student council. "Wait, don''t tell me, you''re...." I frowned at him, doom taking over my senses. "You''repletely right" He leans on the table opposite of me, a smug smirk stered on his face. "I''m running for President." Chapter 4 Chapter 4 "Why didn''t you reply my message yesterday?" I continued to fast walk along the school corridor, with Jungkook following closely behind. Since I didn''t respond at all, Jungkook traps me in a tight embrace, his arms firmly wrapped around me even though I struggled to slip away. The both of us wrestled until I gave up. "Aish! I muted it because you were sending me so many messages" I answered him, pping his biceps so he would let go. "can we just hurry up and do the ss chores already?" I red at him with a murderous intent in my eyes. Jungkook smiles sweetly at me, tucking a hair behind my ear. "okay, Soojung. I''ll let you go when you answer this question?" He proposed, and I just nodded without a choice. "Are you wearing the polkado- I hurriedly covered his mouth so he couldn''t continue. "It''s stripes today." I answered nonchntly. I''m a tad bit surprised how fast I could get used to his bullshit. "Okay, stripes is good too." He replies with a straight face. _______________________________________ "Dear god, please never pair me up with him again" I said my prayers seriously and wiped away our names under morning duty. "Dear god, please keep pairing me up with Soojung" I heard Jungkook behind me who also prayed in front of the ckboard. "Dear god, please let Jeon Jungkook stay away from me within a 2 metre radius" I prayed again. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. "That will never happen, I like being beside you" Jungkook ces a hand over my head, ruffling my hair gently. "So even if I fart alot you''ll still stay close to me?" I took off the hand that rested on the top of my head. "I fart alot too" "Even when I don''t shower for 3 days?" "Then I won''t shower as well so we stink together" "you''re so persistent" "I''m stubborn with the things I like." he smiles. - "Jungkook, have you prepared for the elections?" I coughed slightly at the dust that umted on the duster. "I have half the school''s guaranteed votes already" he leans onto a desk, gazing at me intently. "And I don''t even have a single vote promised." I sighed in defeat, knowing fully the oues of the election. "You do actually." He suddenly says, and I paused my actions. "I voted for you." Chapter 5 Chapter 5 "what are the odds of falling in love with you?" ____________________________________ It''s a week since the elections. "Ugh..." I fiddled with the countless amount of paperwork in front of me, each with their own reports. And unluckily enough for me, the vice president actually does all the work while the president just maintains the image of the student council. And that of course, would be Jeon Juanfuck. "vice prezzie," a pitchy voice called out to me, gaining my undivided attention. It wasn''t as if I gotten myself used to the new nickname , but more like I hated the term so much it snaps me out of focus. "you can call me Soojung instead" I forced a smile at the female student behind me. Even though the position is so infuriating, I still had to uphold my image as part of the student council. "Soojung, I need to ask you for a favour. You''re supposed to help others right?~" her lips curved into a cheeky smile as she tugged my arm. "What is it?" my face fell when I discovered she had a motive. Well, it wasn''t like I expected to befriend anyone, anyway. I''ve set myself a goal to avoid all human interaction so I''ll have a job that pays me like 10 million won. And the elections were supposed to be a stepping stone for my ultimate goal, only to be taken by Juanfuck. "Uhm..." She continues, eyeing at me with a begging expression. "Can you perhaps rece me and go to a blind date?" "Huh? Why would I?" I furrowed my brows at her ridiculous request. Why ask me, of all people. I want to be single forever. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. "Pleasee! I was curious and I stalked the guy I was going to meet, and he''s super ugly in his profile picture" she exined to me, obviously trying to push the consequences onto myself. "No." I said firmly, before turning back to the study materials on my desk. "Look vice prezzie, if you go, I''ll treat you to food for an entire week." She smirks, knowing fully about my family situation. "Why didn''t you say so earlier, I''m in." I immediately epted her bribe when food was mentioned. _______________________________________ "well, fuck it. Not like I''m gonna try to impress them anyway" I mumbled to myself as the reflection on the mirror showed my sweat pants, tousled hair and baggy clothing. It''s literally what I wear to sleep. I head towards the location that the girl had told me about, with a sour look on my face. Hopefully, this "ugly dude" will get turned off by my unruly appearance. When I entered the rustic looking cafe, my eyes spotted the emptiness right away. There were almost no customers inside, and I was the only one. "hory shiet" I smiled to myself in delight when I scanned through the menu items. I made my mind to scoff my face in front of the date. And that''s when I was interrupted by the wind chime, indicating that someone had entered the store. I nced at the stranger briefly. WAIT. I blinked a few times , thinking that I must be dreaming. Actually if I was, it wouldn''t be a dream, but a nightmare. "Soojung? The heck are you doing here?" Jungkook sat on the vacant seat opposite mine, slightly confused. "Why do I have to tell you? Obviously came for food" I rolled my eyes. If he knew I came for a date he would probably tease me until the day I die. "Well...I''m waiting for someone. But i guess they were scared and decided not toe" Jungkook snickers as he scrolled through his phone. And that''s when something clicked in my head. "You couldn''t be....this person right?" I shed the profile picture in his face. Jungkook''s eyes widened when he saw it. "She asked you to meet me instead? That''s pretty shallow, avoiding me just because of appearance" He smiles victoriously. "But why? You''re handsome, so why woul- And right there I paused, registering that I had justplimented my sworn enemy. "you''re cute to me too." He smirks slightly, his knee deliberately hitting on mine under the table because he extended his leg. "What is with you? Suddenly kissing my ass." I folded my arms, ring at him with suspicion. His eyes lit up at my statement. "I''d like that" he answers. "what?" "kissing your ass. I''m willing to do beyond that as well..." he replied again, the smug expression still stered on his face. "I''d like to order a chestnut cake please!" I ignored him and turned to face the person behind the counter. "Since we''re both here already, let''s just go along with the date" Jungkook frowns when I brushed off his words. "No, can''t you see how I''m dressed? It''s to scare you away" I started to tie my hair up into a messy bun. "I think it''s really cute when girls areidback like this, I''m attracted to it" Jungkook stares into my eyes. "bitch there''s a difference betweenidback and looking homeless" I pointed at the holes on my shirt. "Alright, just hang out with me today, okay? Just today." Jungkook pleaded me, yanking the fork away from my hand so I would concentrate on him. "It''s just me and this lovely, seductive looking cake in front of me today. Please go home and watch some dramas if you''re bored" I gestured at him to shoo him away, all while chewing the cake in my mouth. "Why are you so hard to get?" amusement was in his tone of voice. He seemed to be intrigued at whatever I''m saying. "Don''tpare me with those fangirls of yours, I wouldn''t be as stupid to spend my time admiring you" I finished the cake in a sh, wiping my mouth that had leftover crumbs on it. "Now if you would excuse me," I stood up from the chair. "Eggs are especially cheap today, and it''s almost time for the special sale" Jungkook then follows my figure as I disappeared out of the shop, carrying my tote bag for groceries. "fuck...No way. There''s absolutely no way." Jungkook begun denying himself as he came to realize the thundering sound of his heart. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 "Why are you following me? It''s annoying." I clicked my tongue to emphasise the point. Jungkook remains unfazed at my words, silently walking beside me with his hands tucked neatly in the pockets of his fancy jacket. asionally, he would whistle, nce at me secretly, all the while kicking some rocks along to my side to gain my attention. I would realize how much our attires differed. While I adorned my cool ass bohemian sweatpants going grocery shopping with my mom''s slippers, he''s the exact opposite. Jungkook wore expensive clothes, and his shoes looked brand new, even. I just cringed whenever he stepped onto the dirty surface, the soles of his new shoes must be filthy now. Pairs of eyes were fixed onto us. I must look like someme mom bringing her kid to the supermarket. "Can I taste your cookingter?" Jungkook''s face popped up right in front of me, causing me to stop in rm. He was leaning down, his face inches apart from mine. My eyes darted to the lollipop he was sucking , his lips dyed red and glossy. He had taken off his jacket, and it was hung over his shoulders. I absolutely, 100% did not notice the flexed biceps under his white shirt as he stretched his arm. "And why do you think you have the privilege to taste my food?" I retorted, hiding my flusteredness under my pokerface. Jungkook''s reddish lips curved up into a smirk, and he stands upright, eyes still locked intently on mine. He wastes no time intertwining his hands into mine, dragging me along the path. "Let go, you Jungfuck" I struggled under his grasp, but he held on firmly. Eventually I gave up and followed him obediently, his slight chuckles sending a few more butterflies into my stomach. "I haven''t eaten homecooked food in a while," Jungkook shoots me a pleading look. "Please feed me?" "Ugh, okay okay. But promise to never bother me after this!" I agreed reluctantly, storming off with the grocery basket in my hands. Jungkook walked eagerly behind me, all the while with a wide grin. "I''ll help you" he offers, leaning from behind my back and reaching towards my hand. My heart stopped temporarily as he back hugged me, our bodies pressed together for an agonizing second before he takes away the basket of ingredients. "What are you making?" the corners of his lips turned up when he observes the blush on my cheeks. "....pasta." I replied quietly, turning away to avoid his staring. Shit, this is harder than I thought. _______________________________________ "Is anybody at home?" He asks, bending down to take off his sneakers. I kicked off the slippers in a unsightly motion, one of them sent flying to the end of the entrance. "It''s just you and me." I ced the grocery bags on the coffee table. Jungkook''s eyes lit up at my words, and he seemed to be in a very good mood. "Isn''t this like a.....date?" Jungkook approaches me who was standing behind the kitchen counter. He leans forward, elbows propped on the counter and facing me. "Like a date at home, cooking together....those sort of things." "Juanfuck, the people involved have to like each other, and I don''t like you. So no, this is not a date." I answered nonchantly, starting the fire stove. Jungkook remains amused at myebacks. "Would you stop staring?" I red at him, a knife held up in my hand. He was taken aback for a moment, but the yful expression returns again. "You look good in an apron. It''s not my fault" he scans me from top to bottom. "Do me a favour and go y around the house or something, alright? Or else I''ll cook a te of shit for you" I threatened him. Jungkook frowns, but obediently listens. My eyes followed his figure as he disappears out of the kitchen, and the relief calms me. I didn''t want to admit, but this boy has his way with me. Somewhat or another, he is strangely convincing, and he makes me feel emotions I''ve never dealt with before. My mind is now upied with thoughts of Jungkook, while stirring the curry in the pot. He''s not a bad guy....I think. And then it hit me. It was LAUNDRY DAY. "FUCK!" I whispered-screamed to myself in horror, turning off the stove and ripping my apron off. My legs took me as fast as I could and I barged into my bedroom, only to find Jungkook standing there, his back facing me. And scattered on top of my bed, were all my polkadot underwear.Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 "How much did you see?!" I gathered all the underwear in one swoop, hugging them tightly to hide them. Jungkook wore a smug smirk, and I could tell he was immensely delighted to catch my vulnerable side I didn''t show in school. "Don''t bother, I saw all of it." He covers his face as he chuckled, mocking the embarrassed state I was in. I wanted to pack my bags and leave forever, away from this dude where I''ll never see him again. But knowing him, he''ll probably chase me to the ends of the earth. "Get out." I shot him a murderous look, while desperately holding the bunch of underwear in my arms. He raises his hands in defence, slowly backing away and out the door. I stayed in my room, recalling the event and having an existential crisis. I was really thinking of disappearing from the face of earth, for good. By the time I dragged myself out of the room, I spotted the boy sprawled outfortably on the sofa, sleeping soundly with his chest rising up and down. What is he doing, so rxed in his enemy''s quarters? I heaved a long sigh, bringing myself to the kitchen to finish the half cooked pasta. _______________________________________ "I actually.....really like you." the girl in front of him blushes intensely, his fingers resting on the bulk of his chest. Somehow, her face seemed to resemble.....Soojung? Soojung was wearing a tank top and skirt, and her bare arms made their way around his waist seductively. Jungkook couldn''t help but stare at her body, the sheer fabric catching him off guard. She looked absolutely irresistible, enough to make anyone drool over. And in his delight, her rosy lips puckered up and ventured onto his, cing a sweet kiss onto his mouth. He finds himself hugging the girl back, his lips morphing into hers eagerly. Soojung smelt....so good. He pulls her in closer to an embrace, his hand travelling around her back and torso. The self control was slipping like water on rock, he gets even more impaitent by the minute. Unable to handle it any longer, Jungkook pushes the girl down to the floor, hovering over her sexy figure. And that''s when his eyes shot open. When Jungkook came to his senses, he felt something soft pressing onto him. He instantly pulls away, to find a blushing Soojung staring back at him. She was lying below him, on the sofa that he slept on. At the corner of his eye was the te of food ready to be eaten. "Uh, I..." How was he going to exin this? That he had a wet dream of her, right inside her house, and unknowingly grabbed her in his sleep , pulling her into a tight hug? The girl was dumbfounded at the situation, and she didn''t seem to register the scenario in her head. Jungkook and Soojung''s eyes were still tightly locked together in shock, unable to move or say anything. Eventually it sunk into their minds, both their faces now tinted red. Jungkook was the first to let go, sitting up in the couch and letting some distance between them. "Sorry..." he blushes slightly, averting eye contact with her. His hands rubbed the back of his neck, obviously flustered. Soojung sat up as well, her hair tousled from the way Jungkook had hugged her. She stared silently on the ground for a while, trying to think of a topic to say. "The pasta," she nces at Jungkook, whose white shirt was soaked slightly from the nervous perspiration. "Do you want to eat it?" Jungkook nods, his attention diverting to her change of clothes before looking away again. Soojung was wearing a tank top and shorts, simr to his dream. Jungkook could feel his heart beat uncontrobly when he felt the stare from behind his back as he sat on the floor. He begins to eat the pasta, watched by the girl who sat on the couch behind him. He wanted to test how far he could tease the girl - he found her interesting , sometimes weirdly cute. She was nothing like the girls that fawned over him, and his mind was constantly upied with thoughts of seeing her. Soojung slips off the couch quietly, walking to the opposite end of the coffee table. She props both elbows up, her eyes intently staring at Jungkook. "Is it good?" She asks shyly, pressing both cheeks into her palms. Jungkook nces up at her, his heart skipping a beat at her rare smile. It was so.....Cute. He nods with a mouth full of the pasta, chewing slowly and savouring the taste. As a result, the corners of his mouth was stained with the sauce. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. And it was like second instinct to the girl. She reaches for a tissue to wipe the sauce off his lip, only to lock eyes with him one more time. This time, she couldn''t deny the sound of her thundering heart. Chapter 8 Chapter 8 "WHALE!" Jimin yelled as soon as Taehyung pretends to sprout water. He turns to him, shaking his head vigorously to indicate a no. After several tries, Jimin was finally able to get it after Taehyung pinched the area on his arm between two moles. "Aish...so it was an elephant" Jimin runs a hand across his hair in frustration. It was now Jimin''s turn. Hoseok shes the phone screen at his direction, showing a porcupine. And almost immediately the group begun to make their assumptions when Jimin curled up into a ball. "A CABBAGE!" Jin held up his shopping list. "A BALL!" Taehyung held up his blue bouncy ball. "A TESTICLE!" Namjoon held up the biology textbook. "Porcupine..." Yoongi, who was asleep, suddenly raised his hand. "Correct!" An eyesmile formed on Jimin''s face as he made a victory pose directed to Yoongi. "Speaking of which, where is that kid?" Jin nudges Namjoon that was fumbling with his broken earpiece. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. "He mentioned that he wanted to bring someone else to join us for lunch" he replies. _______________________________________ "You don''t have any friends?" I could hear Jungfuck''s mocking voice behind my ear, his arm leaning onto my desk from the back. As I flipped the pages of my textbook, his shadow overcasts the words, rendering me unable to read them. "I don''t need any. They''re pointless" I pushed against his chest to indicate him to move. The muscle kook stays perfectly in position, inching closer to my body as I tried to resist him. "I can be your friend, you know..." he drags his voice, eyes darkening as he stared at me. I felt myself swallow a huge gulp of air from the way he gazed at me suggestively, probably expecting something from me. But as usual, I decided to give him my dose of torture. "I don''t need you as my friend," the corners of my mouth curved into a smug smirk. I raised my leg up to rest on the other, the skirt rising slightly up my thigh. As a result, Jungkook''s attention diverted to my bottom half for that split second. "...because I don''t befriend perverts." I pulled down my skirt drastically, snapping him out of focus. Jungkook realizes what I''ve pulled on him, and he runs a hand across his face frustratedly. "You can''t just give me a boner and leave" he leans back on my desk, eyes following my hands that packed up the books. I raised an eyebrow at him, registering the words in my head. Did he just said what I think he said? "Hey, let me ask you something," his frowns changes quickly to a smile. Jungkook grabs my wrist gently, pulling me forward so i stumbled clumsily onto his chest. When I struggled to get away, he wraps an arm around my waist and leads me out of the ssroom to avoid the gaping stares of the other students. "Jeon Ju- When I tried to p his hand away, the boy corners me onto the wall, perfectly hidden at an empty corridor. I stood frozen in his trap, unable to push away or even look away from his piercing stare. Jungkook''s hair was tousled into a hot mess, his top button loosened so it exposes his cor. The tension in the air took away all feelings in my nerves. "Answer me honestly," I watched his lips move as he whispers, the breath hitting my ear and sending tingles down my skin. "Do you have a boyfriend?" "You dragged me all the way here to ask me that?" I replied incredulously. Jungkook nods slowly with a serious expression, the sincererity in his eyes made me doubt myself a little. Just at that moment, the voices of what seemed to be a group of female students echoed closer towards our direction. I could recognise those annoying pitchy voices as - "Jungkook oppa!~" they called. That''s right, Juancock fangirl club. Jungkook and I exchanged anxious looks, their footsteps indicating that they were just about to turn the corner and witness the two of us alone, and mind that we want to spare our lives for an important test next week. Without any hesitation, I pulled Jungkook with me into the nearby locker, closing it right before the girls appeared at the area. Naturally our bodies cramped up in the small and dark space, pressing against each other as if our lives depended on it. And it didn''t help that the person I chose to be stuck with is a bulky muscr boy. "Jungkook, your bicep is squeezing me..." I whispered into his chest, both my arms wrapped around his torso to save space. One of his arm is holding my waist, the other pressed on the side of the locker next to my face. I could feel our warm breaths mixing together at the close approximaty. "Soojung, uhm." I looked up at Jungkook, whose face was painfully close to mine to the point that our noses touched. I noticed the scarlet red that flushed across his cheeks, and the sound of heartbeat thundering loudly. Is it my heart or his? I couldn''t tell. I had drowned out the voices of the girls outside at this point, because I just realized that his leg was in between my thighs while my knee was pressed against his....thing. Oh my god. I mentally cursed myself for leading the both of us into this sort of situation. I tried my best not to move at all, but human bodies apparently don''t work that way. I buried my face into his chest so he couldn''t observe the rising blush that overtook my entire face. "Are you okay?" Jungkook whispers to me in a tone of concern, embracing me back gently and attempting to remove his leg. I closed my eyes tightly when I felt him move away, his hand adjusting my thigh ordingly. Now in a much better position, I just cuddled quietly with him until the voices outside seem to vanish. I peeked out of the little slits on the locker, and to my relief there were no signs of them. "I need to catch my breath" I bended over as soon as the both of us separated. I thought my heart would explode the entire time we were inside. "Soojung," Jungkook calls my name in a softer tone, slipping his zer off as he did. "Sorry about just now." He approaches me cautiously and wraps it around my waist, covering the skirt that had ridden up when we squeezed together in the locker. "Im sorry too, Jungkook." I smiled slightly at him, earning a surprised look on his face. "for calling you a pervert." Unfortunately for Jungkook, the lunch bell rang when he was just about to answer. Panick rose in me as I realized the next period was located at the opposite building. "Have to run!" I patted his back, turning away to leave. Before I could, he grabs my hand and held it firmly. "I want to hear the answer to my question." Jungkook circles his thumb on the back of my hand, his eyes full of anticipation. "I don''t have a boyfriend." I answered, and his eyes lit up. "But...." "I''M GAY" I whispered aggressively to him. The shock on Jungkook''s face was priceless. I left him there trying to make sense of my lie, running back with a fit ofughter. A/N: Thank you so much for reading omg. *tears falling* I hope it''s engaging so far. Chapter 9 Chapter 9 "hyung, what do you do if you''re interested in someone, and they tell you they''re gay?" Jungkook breaks the silence among the group. As a result, he finds six pairs of eyes gazing at him intently. "Then change your gender?" Jimin suggests , stretching out the tensed muscles of his arm. "Cross dress?" Taehyung followed with another idea. "You guys are not even making sense!" Jungkook responded with a frustrated whine. The rest of them exchanged mutual nces as he ruffled his hair aggressively. "First of all, who is this mysterious person?" Hoseokforts the maknae, rubbing circles around his back. "I won''t tell you, you''ll steal her away from me." Jungkook refuses, eyeing his hyungs that were famous amongst the girls. "She''s super cute." _______________________________________ "Based on the scores in the previous physical ss, Jeon Jungkook is ced the highest." The gym teacher announces to the students, and the girls in front begun to nce admiringly at the muscle pig. My response was contradictory to them in fact, I red intensely at him as he purposely passed by with a smug smirk. "Show-off" I stuck my tongue out at him who chose to sit beside me. He ignores my provoking, and just shifts closer to me so both our shoulders touched. I raised my eyebrows as he did, but Jungkook remains unfazed. Why is he so casuallyfortable with me... I thought to myself, shifting my butt to the other end, only to realise that Jungkook had moved closer to me. I was stuck between the corner and him who sat crossed legged next to me. The rest of the ss at the front listened intently to the teacher''s instructions, but I had already drowned out his voice. All my attention was diverted to Jungkook''s piercing gaze at my side profile - although I tried not to be stiff and facing the front, the more conscious I got. "Soojung." He calls softly, nudging me by the side. I nced at him briefly since I couldn''t look at him directly from the way his shoulders rubbed against mine. "Can we hang out after school today?" He leans over so he could see my face. Our eyes locked for an agonizing minute, before I could process the question in my head. "I need to buy groceriester" I answered him, the tone of my voice slightly down. For some reason, I didn''t want to reject his offer.....Wait, what? Since he was still staring at me with our faces mere inches apart, I found myself facing down to avoid his eye contact. Jungkook notices my ufortable state and backs off, his cheeks also slightly tinted red. "I''ll go with you" he rests his head on his arm, knees propped up against his chest. A sweet smile was stered on his lips as he stared curiously into my eyes. Our conversation was cut when the teacher dismisses the students to form groups. I was assigned to a different one from Jungkook, and it felt....strange. Then I realized why. Jungkook had always been by my side ever since I''ve enrolled in this school - he''s be a presence that I could reach out for whenever I need, and he''s always there. But what exactly is he to me? Friends? That seems like what people thought of us, but I wouldn''t feel like it described our connection. If I were to put a title on him, I would assume he''s my rival. "What are you thinking about?" a taller male taps on my shoulder lightly, handing me a basketball. He had a decently built figure, and a godly face to match. I couldn''t help but stare, because of how attractive his features were. But why does he look so familiar? "I was thinking if it''s possible that rivals could be on friendly terms..." I answered nkly, my eyes fixed on his beautiful face. He was so ethereal, even his foot probably looked better inparison to my face. Amusement piqued in his eyes at my reaction, and heughs slightly at me, the sides of his eyes crinkling as he did so. "I''ve never thought of that. You''re interesting," he smiles, hand wrapping around my wrist. I was dragged along gently to the side of the court, where my assigned group was setting up the equipment. "What''s your name?" I stole a nce at him. "Ah...you don''t remember me?" the boy points at his face, a saddened look in his eyes. I tilted my head in confusion, wondering what he was talking about. "My name is Park Jimin." _______________________________________ "Hey, are you listening?" Jungkook ys with my hair, but I was already in aplete trance. My head had drifted off far into dreand, where rabbits lived on the moon and yboys weren''t international. "He''s SOOOO hot." I twirled around the food aisles with the shopping basket, an obvious joy in my step. Jungkook looked at me with disbelief, his eyebrows knotted from the words that escaped my mouth. "Park Jimin~" I pressed my flushed cheeks onto my hands, closing my eyes tightly to imagine his face. Jungkook observed me closely, a sour look in his expression. "He won''t ever notice you." Jungkook leans on the shelves, hands tucked in his zer pockets. He was sulking because I had ignored him the whole trip to the supermarket, and all I could think about was Jimin. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. I snapped out of my trance and red at him, sending him a threatening look. Jungkook smirks victoriously in response after knowing that I''m back to reality with him. "Oh look, I remend this drink to you." I said as I pointed at the bottle of bleach ced neatly on the shelf. "I found a good ce to store your heart" he pointed at the freezer. The two of us returned to how were were usually, bickering non stop about childish things and squabbling with each other. At this point, it had be our way of bonding, and the more time I spent with Jungkook, the more I realized how much I enjoyed it. And then I thought to myself - was he really just a rival to me?... _______________________________________ A/N: Soojung is actually my favourite OC that I''ve created throughout my books lol. Also, my books are probably torture devices to those who have Jungkook and Jimin as their bias and biaswreckers. Chapter 10 Chapter 10 "Good morning, oppa." I smiled brightly at the sleepy figure that trudged out of the room, whilst I fired the blender in the kitchen. "Soojung..." my older brother reaches in for a sibling hug, leaning his body onto my back for support. I struggled a little under his weight as he nuzzled his face on my head. "Yoongi, you''re smelly" I stuck out my tongue at him after I finished with the blender. He frowns slightly at my remark, but cherishes me too much to make aeback like he usually does to others. It would probably be a shocker to those around him that the cold and distant Min Yoongi - is protective over his little sister. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. "Soojung, do you have timeter?" Yoongi plops himself on the couch, staring nkly into space. I nced over at his appearance, and snickered at the sight of his tousled bed hair and loosened buttons. "I did the chores yesterday, so I have alot of free time," I responded, pouring the juice from the blender into a cup. "Why do you ask?" "I''m going to meet my friends. You shoulde along and make bad life decisions with me." He quoted casually, lying down in afortable position while scrolling through his phone. _______________________________________ "Is Yoongi hyunging soon?" I peeked over at the lounge, where the rest of them were bickering about the difference between a peck and a kiss. "He''sing over in a minute!" Taehyung calls over in a giggly voice as Jimin begun to tickle him on the floor. After seeing them sprawled out sofortably, I decided to just act the same. I pulled the tight shirt off and threw it onto my bed, proceeding to change into my grey sweatpants. Since my hair was still damp from a shower, I hung a towel over my neck. I strolled around the house in a carefree motion, ruffling my hair asionally with the towel. I watched questionably as Namjoon sted porn on my tscreen tv, the younger ones giggling at the scenes while they hid under the covers. "Aish, hyung! Please tone down the volume!" Iined over the moaning sounds that resonated through the walls and the entire building. I made up my mind to start Overwatch, in attempts to ignore the noises polluting my virgin ears. Right then, a loud knock sounded over themotion. It must be Yoongi hyung. _______________________________________ I watched intently as Yoongi punched the password on the device. While the tune sounded as he did, it was impossible to not notice the weird noises emitting from the other side of the door. The automated door opens, revealing a sight that made me want to wash my eyes in holy water and perhaps enlighten myself for the next ten years to be a monk. My eyesnded on a big screen that was disying uncensored scenes of body parts I didn''t want to witness. As any other normal virgin would do, I closed my eyes tightly in fear of being scarred for life. "Close it now!" I heard a familiar voice yelling to the direction of the noise, and I perked up. There''s no way... However, I couldn''t open my eyes to check because there was a bare chest pressed against my face, and an arm around my neck. I noticed a sweet scent of soap that hit me as soon as I was pulled into the embrace. "Soojung?" He calls my name with a soft voice, burying my head further into his chest in a protective stance, and preventing me from seeing whatever that was around us. There was scuffling and yelling from the other direction as he did so. "...You can open your eyes now." I pulled away to lock eyes with the man opposite of me, his arm still firmly wrapped around my torso. It was a sight much more pleasurablepared to what I''ve seen seconds ago, to be fair. Jungkook was shirtless, the locks of his damp hair stuck onto his forehead. My vision then travelled down to his neck where a towel hung loosely, and further down where his chiseled abdomen was wlessly disyed in full view altogether with a pair of grey sweatpants that adorned the below. "I...uh." my mouth opened and closed like a goldfish, trying to make sense of his presence here. Or more like, his strikingly attractive appearance that makes me want to jump off the nearest window. I turned my head over to nce at my brother, standing near a couch with a bunch of boys crowded on it. It was hard not to scream when I recognised one of them being Park Jimin. He was wearing a ck turtleneck and ripped jeans, his hair pulled to the back. The slim jaw was prominent against the clothing, apanied by a half opened stare and parted lips. Holy cow, busan men are dangerous. "She''s my little sister." Yoongi exins, cing the bottles of alcohol onto the table by the side. My ears flushed a scarlet red when I scanned some familiar faces amongst them, aside from Jimin. "Wait...what?" Jungkook stared in shock at my side profile, observing me closely. His grip around me loosened as realization hit him like a truck. "Anneong~" a head pops up from behind the couch, greeting me with a wide smile. His features were prominent and ethereal, almost like a character from a drawing. His mouth was shaped like a rectangle as he smiled. "He''s Kim Taehyung." Jimin walks over to me, the sides of his eyes crinkling into a smile. "you met the hyungs before right?" I nodded shyly in response, my muscles tensing up as he approached me. Holy shit, eye candy for days. Jungkook''s expression turns sour as Jimin separated me from him, pulling me gently along to the other boys. Inparison, I was totally distracted by the way he held my hand. "Anneong..." I bowed respectfully to the older boys, fixing up my clothes as well. It wasn''t long before they invited me to watch Dora The Explorer together with them on the couch, probably to make up for the R21 I saw earlier. "The map~" Taehyung sung along cluelessly to the English lyrics, moving with the rhythm. He reminded me of a small child. Meanwhile, I had let down my guard when Jungkook suddenly squeezes beside me, so I was sandwiched in between Jimin and him. He was now fully dressed, d in a thin white shirt and his earlier grey sweatpants. His hair was now tousled and messy, presumably the product of a hairdrying session. "we match." Jungkook smiles teasingly at me, shifting closer so our shoulders touched. I looked down and realized that our attires were simr, since I wore out myfy ck sweatpants. "more importantly," I came close to Jungkook so it was a whisper. "why are you here?" "Min Soojung, you don''t know?" Jungkook leans closer to my ear in response, a smile creeping up his face as I shot a confused look at him. "I own this penthouse." Chapter 11 Chapter 11 "Ugh..." I stared at the mess that was the boys, sprawled around the table full of empty beer bottles. The lovely interior of the penthouse has turned into what looks like a kid''s party, except - the attendants were a bunch of drunk, hot men. And the owner, Jungkook was dead drunk on the floor, his arms stuffed into his shirt, so his naked torso was peeking out. It didn''t seem to be bothering him however, it did to me. It was real distracting. I just let myself drool at the sight of his parted lips and half naked body, the sounds that rolled off his tongue almost like a sensual moan meant for the bedroom. He''s so much cuter when he isn''t bbing about how he''s won me in thest exam. Just sleeping peacefully with his arm clutched around the pillow. Talking about the pillow, can I be the pillow? Wait Soojung, you''re supposed to loathe him. "Oppa." I turned to my brother first, who was my priority. I dragged him painstakingly onto the couch, and covered him with a nket I found in one of the rooms. One by one, I slowly created makeshift beds for the boys. When it came to Park Jimin''s turn, I was a nervous wreck. Half of them were shirtless and a mess, and he had to be one of the few. I approached the boy cautiously, asionally stealing nces at his lower body. Hot. I mentally convinced myself I''m not a pervert, but my actions speak otherwise - I kept staring at the delicious abdomen that ran down his body, his sharp jaw apanied by the dirty blonde hair that emphasised his otherworldly features. Oh, he was such a looker. I gently wiped the sweat off his neck and body with a towel, and he groans a little in his deep slumber. I may or may not have interpreted it in a dirty manner. Can I mention that his raspy voice sent me dangerous signals. After a while of helping him getfortable, I realized that Jimin was awake. He had watched me the whole time, taking care of him - and he just pretended to be asleep. "You haven''t wiped an area yet..." He sits up, a yful glint in his eyes. My attention was all focused on how he gazed at me like I was tempting him, enough to not notice that he had slid his arm around my waist. "Here," he says, pointing at his abs. "You haven''t wiped me here." Jimin was drunk, and it switched something in him. It was as if his seductive side has came to full bloom, and his testosterone filled the atmosphere. I''m not sure if I can survive this ordeal. Oh god. I blinked a few times innocently at him, processing his words in my nk head. Jimin observes my expression, lets out a low chuckle, and presses his full lips on my cheek, before passing out again. "What are you doing with him?" I heard a voice close behind me, and it somehow gave me the chills. And I was right, there stood Jungkook, except he wore an expression I haven''t seen before. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. "I....was..." I answered in a stuttering manner, as if I was put in an interrogation room. Jungkook, now a little more sober, had a darkened look on his face. His bottom lip reddened from how much he was biting it. "Soojung." He calls me softly, pulling me towards him and away from Jimin''s body. I could smell his musky cologne, and it drived me crazy. His grip was strong on my wrist, Jungkook was holding onto me as if I''m going to disappear from his side. "You should stay away from Jimin hyung." I raised my brows at him, and he stared at me with worry in his eyes. Maybe it was the alcohol, but Jungkook seemed vulnerable, and honest, even more than usual. I followed silently as he takes me to a room. "Sleep here." He instructs me, throwing me some clothes from his closet. He rubs the back of his neck, his cheeks a little flushed from his drunken state. And so I pulled off my hoodie, changing out into his clothes. Jungkook stood frozen as I did so, his face slightly awakened from the sight. "What? Im wearing a tanktop, it''s not like I''m in my underwear." I stared back weirdly. Jungkook''s eyes darted back and forth from the straps of my bra and my face. His face had turned beetroot, and he begun to stammer a little from flusteredness. "Yeah, but still. You shouldn''t do that in front of a man." He says, looking sinfully at my bare shoulders and taking a huge gulp. I examined his shy reactions and chuckled a little. How could he be the same person who teases me about my panties? Shaking the thought off, I just continued changing until he decided to leave the room for air. "Jungkook!" I called him, and he came rushing for me. "How do you tighten this?" I held up his sweatpants on my waist to prevent it from falling. It was my turn to be embarrassed, because his arms were now all around me, fastening the strings together. I endured a full minute of him half hugging me and fumbling with the waistband until he tied it tight enough so it wouldn''t fall. Breathe Soojung, breathe. When we parted, both our heartbeats were so loud and thundering I couldn''t even tell if it belonged to me or him. The more I tried to fight away the flutter in my heart, the more flustered it made me feel. "Uhm." Jungkook nodded at me, realizing the awkwardly romantic tension in the air. "Goodnight." But before he could leave, I found myself clutching onto the hem of his shirt. A surprised expression took over his face, and Jungkook locked eyes with me. "Jungkook, um.." I averted his eyes, trying my best to think of what to say. I didn''t feel like I''m acting like myself, and Jungkook seemed different tonight too. It was as if the alcohol had gotten to us, but we were probably sober at that point. So what part of me wants him to stay longer? "What''s the matter, munchkin? Afraid of the dark?" Jungkook smiles slightly, probably reading my thoughts. "I....uhm...yes?" I answered before it processed in my non-existant brain. I did it. I lied that I have a ridiculous phobia, in order to convince my sworn enemy to stay with me. "I''ll be here till you fall asleep." Jungkook carries me effortlessly in his arms, plopping me onto the bed. He interlocks his hands with mine, holding it tightly. And all night long, I felt the warmth of his hand as he stayed by my side, the both of us bound by an excuse that wasn''t true, but was still afraid to be honest about. That we wanted to stay together longer. That the both of us knew, something gradually growing between us. A tiny, tiny sprout of love. Chapter 12 Chapter 12 "piss off, I''m feeling warm." I aggressively pushed Jungkook off my body, in which he responded by pulling me back further into a tighter embrace. Junglecock has taken advantage of my situation, insisting he''ll leave me in the dark alone if I didn''t sacrifice myself as a makeshift pillow for him. Although I clearly didn''t have a phobia, I am a woman. And thest thing a girl would do is to reject the offer of a hot man''s touch, regardless the situation. He smells so fucking good. I tried to fight off my blush as his arms made their way around my torso, his parted lips releasing soft breaths that hit my skin and sending tingles down my spine. Jungkook was sound asleep,fortably in my arms. Tonight was way too crazy. We''ve all gotten dead drunk, and now we''re cuddling like a newlywed on bed. What''s next, a honeymoon scene? I''ve clearly been influenced by the R-21 that sted on the screen earlier. Get your holy water, Soojung. My thoughts were fully interrupted when Jungkook suddenly shifts me, so his face was buried deep in the nape of my neck. I felt a soft texture pressing against my skin - his lips. He seems to be nibbling softly, down towards my chest. Fuck. "J-jungkook." I pleaded softly, shaking his arms to wake him up. But he seems to still be in a trance, his mouth travelling around my skin like it''s a seeker for lust. I gasped when he started sucking lightly on the area below my ear, and I was sensitive. I gripped his sleeves in shock, my senses sending me dangerous signals. "Stop, or I''ll kick you where the sun doesn''t shine." I red at him, and his eyes twinkled with amusement. He chuckles softly, running a thumb over my bottom lip. "soon, I''ll ce my lips somewhere else." Jungkook deres, all the while eyeing intensely at my lips. The rest of the night was spent cuddling into his huge chest, and for whatever feelings that possessed us that night, I didn''t question it. It just felt so right. And we exchanged no words. When I awoke, Jungkook had already left my side, the bed unusually emptier than before. I rubbed my eyes and straightened my tousled hair , trying to make sense of the daylight that shrouded my vision. In the corner of my eyes I spotted Jungkook''s shirt from the previous night, thrown onto the bed. He must''ve changed in the room while I was sleeping. Scandalous, but we literally did nothing except hugging. And it was when I looked closely further into the room that I noticed a figure, making it''s way towards me. "you were all wrapped up like a burrito, that''s cute." He lets out a small chuckle, his bunny teeth showing clearly. I felt my heart being pierced by the sudden adorableness. But it wasn''t long before I was attacked again, for another reason. Jungkook had showered. I couldn''t take my thirsty eyes off his dampened hair and the towel that was slung over his shoulders. For some reason, he just looked so unbearably sexy. And as if it wasn''t bad enough, he climbs onto the bed, next to me with a smirk. I averted his eyes when he started rubbing the back of his neck, the fabric of his tight white shirt stretching over his prominent biceps. Rude, rude, rude. "I swear to god, I''m never drinking again." I ruffled my hair in frustration, the thoughts of yesterday flowing through my mind. When I want it all to be a dream, I was painfully reminded that it was reality. "Didn''t know you liked me that much. Shocking." he teased, propping an elbow on the bed and staring at me with a smug smirk. I rolled my eyes at him, indicating that the regr Soojung is back. With that I gathered myself together and kicked the nkets off, making my way casually to his bathroom to wash up. _______________________________________ "babe, pass me the bucket please?" Jimin shoots me a smirk,bing his hair back as he did. Me and Jimin was assigned to clean Jungkook''s posh-looking sports car. Since we crashed at his house, we couldn''t reject the favour. This is from N?velDrama.Org. I hesitantly handed him the bucket full of water, trying my best to fight off the blush that made their way to my cheeks. God, thank you for your reward today. When I said reward, I literally meant, reward. For my eyes. Jimin was d in one of Jungkook''s button down white shirts, the sleeves rolled up his arms. He had loosened the top few buttons so his bare corbone showed through nicely. Not to mention, his delicious torso in full view with the wet shirt sticking close to his skin. I stared - or drooled, at the sight, his hair also damp andbed back messily from his habit. If this is heaven, then I''m not afraid to die. Jimin, on the other hand, would asionally steal nces at me. The both of us was dressed in lesser fabric than usual, so the exchanging of stares wasmon. Especially when I remembered that he kissed my cheek yesterday, my heart was sent into a pounding mess. Jimin looks like he realized my inner thoughts as well, thus he begun to purposefully do rude gestures in order to gain my attention. It did, alright. "Soojung, where did you sleepst night?" he asks, dumping some water on his body to clean off the soap thatthered onto his shirt. "I-um..." I answered, obviously distracted by the water running down his abdomen. "It''s alright if you don''t answer. I know where you slept, anyway." he smirks slightly, leaning onto the bo of the car. His eyes were half shut and his gaze was fixed onto me. Jimin lifted his shirt, rolling it up and squeezing the excess water out of it. I gulped at his actions, if this isn''t sexy I didn''t know what to describe it. Is he trying to seduce me? "I want to ask you something, though...." he trailed off, and I snapped out of my trance. The both of us stood silently, staring down each other. I was frozen in position, since I was too shy to even open my mouth to say anything at all. "Soojung.." his expression changes into seriousness, drops of water trickling down his face and dropping off at the jaw. "Are you perhaps dating Jungkook?" Chapter 13 Chapter 13 "..really? did you know that Jungkook told us not toy our hands on you?" Jimin''s voice repeated in my head like a continuous drum, and I''m unable to let go. There was so much behind those words that he revealed to me, I just didn''t know what to feel about it. I''ve answered his question with a no. However, his expression seemed mildly surprised, as if it was already obvious that me and Jungkook were a thing. The truth is, however, we despised each other - or I thought we were supposed to. I am left confused and lost by those very words since that day, avoiding Jungkook as much as I could. But it proved to be difficult, especially when he''s especially good at manipting the situation to his side. "Will the vice president and president please set up theboratory for the next ss?" the teacher eyed me and Jungkook, a pleading look on her face. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. "great..." I mumbled curse words to myself as I made my way outside the ss, hisrger figure following closely behind. I could even feel my back tense up against his presence. "Hey," Jungkook started, pushing me against the wall of theboratory. "What''s with the avoiding?" I could tell he was madly frustrated , his bottom lip twitching with emotion. His eyes pierced through me like a cier, and I couldn''t look away. Before I could muster up an answer, he leans his head onto my shoulder, limping onto my body closely. I feel his breath against my neck, and it sent me tingles. "As i thought, I''ve made you hate me." There was a tone of sadness in his voice. And due to that, I felt my heart go weak. "That''s not-....I don''t hate you, I really don''t." "then why did you avoid me?" "because I was suddenly conscious of you-" I paused immediately after realizing what I''ve blurted out. Jungkook slowly parted from me, a cheeky smile sneaking up the corner of his lips. He was acting all along. "You-" I said with a pitch higher than normal, feeling tricked by what he pulled on me. Jungkook wanted to get a honest answer out of me, and he had attacked my vulnerable side. "So, you have the hots for me now?" Jungkook stated with a victorious look on his face. He seemed overjoyed and satisfied by my answer. "Shut up." At this point, I''ve lost my normal sense ofposure, feeling my face heat up. If I was a target, he''s hit the bullseye. Nothing less expected from Jeon Jungfuck. Jungkook observes my flushed face carefully, taking in every expression I was making. The look in his eyes softened as I stared at my reflection on his irises. Slowly, he snakes a hand behind my back and pushed me against him. I closed my eyes and welped when he nts a soft kiss on my cheek, his hand firmly holding onto my hips. When he finally let go, I was left in a confused but flustered mess. "It''s now my territory. I left a mark." He states with a smirk, loosening his necktie as he leans onto one of the tables. He had kissed over the area where Jimin onceid his lips on. "You can''t just....im me as yours, you imbecile nugget." I kicked him lightly, causing him to break out in soft chuckles. He was probably driven by jealousy that I was all over Jimin - but I didn''t want to say for sure, thest thing I wanted to assume was Jungkook having any sort of feelings for me. "What?" I shot him a re when he wrapped his legs around my waist as he sat on the table, trying to catch my attention. He pulls me against him again, and I stumbled onto his broad chest. Since my hands held onto his thighs for support, I couldn''t help but notice his bulky muscles twitching underneath my hand. Damn, daddy thighs. I shook off my thoughts when Jungkook starts to wrap his arms around me, trapping me into an embrace, he enjoys my reactions as he rests his forehead on mine. "Can you stop hugging me for no absolute reason?" I pushed his chest away, but hees even closer and nuzzles me. "Can''t help it, I just really want to hold you all the damn time." He whispers into my neck, his lips pressed firmly on my exposed corbone. I gave up resisting and the two of us stayed in this position for a few more minutes , held in each other''s arms. I witnessed his ear turning scarlet red as he hugged me softly. "Soojung." he calls me. "yeah?" "Actually, I wanted to ask you something for a while now, but I don''t know if you''d do it for me..." he pulls away to face me, a tint of blush on his cheeks. I felt his hand rubbing my arm, and his shaky voice indicating how nervous he was. "The truth is, my mother wants me to attend a marriage party." "what?" I''m not sure the words that left his mouth processedpletely in my head. He''s going to have a fianc¨¦. "So, I was thinking." Jungkook caressed the side of my face gently, his eyes twinkling with hope. He examines my disappointed reaction and smiles a little. "Can you attend as my pretend girlfriend?" A/N: honestly I was really unsatisfied by this chapter. I''m apologetic to the eyes who had to read this. I hope the next one is better. Because I nned alot of scandalous scenes. ? Chapter 14 Chapter 14 part one "your love is like a deadly drug, I need it badly, and yet it kills my soul." _____________________________________ "you''re wearing a hoodie?..." Jungkook leans in slowly, buckling the seatbelt for me in a painfully slow motion. He pulls away, his blueish hue contacts staring right into my eyes, giving me his undivided attention. "....cute" a smile creeped up the corners of his lips, threatening me to break out in a blush. Normally, I would''ve responded with a no shit sherlock, but somehow, I was trapped in this tense atmosphere again, where his presence was intimidatingly seductive. When I sneaked a nce at him, Jungkook looked breathtaking. The way his suit nicely shaped his built body, it probably made girls faint and ovaries pop. Why the hell am in a car with a guy like this? Oh right. I agreed. He had cornered me with a temptation too unresistable to bare, especially when I don''t have the financial ability to afford luxuries. He''s mentioned how the party will include extravagant catering, and homegirl here needs her food. So here we are, seated in his way too overpriced vehicle. Just how many uggets can I afford with this car? Whilst I was distracted in thend of the uggets and everything happy, Jungkook snaps me into focus. He is leaning against the steering wheel, looking wless and ethereal. My eyes immediately darted to his arms where the sleeves were rolled up, showing off the curves of his biceps. His bare corbone glistened with slight sweat, and it made me feel things. "I hate to say, as much as I love how adorable you look in your sweatpants, the socialites expect a more dressed-up attire..." He trails off, a smirk forming on his face. "I don''t care about those rich scumbags, I''m going to stuff my face when I get there anyway" I answered, smiling back. "I''m sure..." Jungkook twinkled with amusement, his hands travelling to tuck a stray hair behind my ear. "but I want to show off my girlfriend to them, so spare me." "Um." was the only word I could fathom, as I couldn''t process the situation that I was in at the moment. Jungkook had been referring to me as his lover the entire evening, and I''m not too sure if it was on purpose. ______________________________________ "How about this one?" the store assistant held up a bunch of gorgeous and shy dresses, causing me to break out in nervous stutters. I had taken one look at the pricetag, and let''s just say it wasn''t as pretty as the gown. "Wear this," Jungkook hands me a gown he picked, which was aced, bodycon dress. It was a stunning off-white, paired with the unique cutting that showed off the curves of the person who adorned it. "It looks like something I''d pick." I responded, staring at the dress and back at him. A smirk materialised on his lips, and he adjusted the sleeves on his shirt. "It looks like something I''d love to see you in too." he stares at me with half opened eyes and parted lips. If there''s a right time to have a cardiac arrest, then it''s now. I fought off my flusteredness and went away to change, escaping his sexy res. He''s just a friend. That''s right, Jungkook. Juancock. Jungfuck. Junglecock. aihdjejdNdkdk When I hurriedly put on the dress and slide the curtains to the side, I had locked eyes with the man waiting for me. Jungkook stares at me from tip to toe, his eyes widening slightly as minutes passed by. There was an obvious shock in his expression, and I caught a nce of his adam''s apple bobbing when he took small gulps. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. "Why? Is it weird? I''ll chang-" I was cut off when he softly snakes a hand across my waist, pulling me closer to him. I feel his tempting gaze pierced into me as I stumbled slightly into his chest. "somehow, I find it annoying that there might be men swooning all over youter" Jungkook bites his bottom lip, reddening it as he released it slowly. I was too taken aback to make a statement at this point. Jungkook pulls me along, making sure I stuck close to him. It took us another hour to get me makeup and hair ready. During the whole process, his gaze never left my side. "woooAH" my voice belted when I tripped a little in my high heels. Fortunately, I had grasped onto Jungkook just in time before I made myself an embarrassing mess. "lean on me, babe." he says nonchantly, his voice slightly deeper than usual. Jungkook wraps an arm firmly around my back, our bodies pressed together. So far, none of this had been what I predicted it to be. I had envisioned myselffortably wolfing down some fancy crusine, all the while uncaring about my image. But this. How did I end up trying to get used to my rival treating me so lovingly? And the strangest thing was, I didn''t hate it. On the road towards our destination, I fiddled nervously in my seat, thinking about the other life I was going to enter. The party - it must be full of rich and gorgeousdies, if the sole purpose was for Jungkook to pick one of them. I hadn''t notice my trembling hands until Jungkook slides his hand onto mine, entertwining our fingers together. "It''s fine. I''m here." His assuring words had an affect on me. It gave me some sort of ease, and I rxed in my seat a little. "I''m not sure if I can do anything to convince your parents, Jungkook...." I said with a shaky voice, staring intently at our hands held together. "I''m not sure if I can do anything at all." As the car stops at a red light, Jungkook''s eyes glistened when he turns to look at me. A sickly sweet smile made its way onto his lips. "Soojung.." he calls me softly, sensually, and gazes at me as if I was his, and at that moment, I felt like I belonged to him. "All I ask for you is to love me for tonight." Chapter 15 Chapter 15 part two "love begun to hurt in the wildest ways possible, ever since I''ve given you my heart." ______________________________________ The clinking of wine sses sent shivers down my spine. Being ced in an ufortable setting surrounded by people of a different status - it wasn''t fun, to say the least. Jungkook''s hands had never left the side of my waist, his broad chest turning into a ce of unexpectedfort. He clings onto me closely, the light touches of his fingers too intimate to be labelled a ''friend''. But a few minutes into the party, he had to leave hurriedly for a reason I wasn''t told about. Thus, I was now left alone, roaming the floor like a lost child. So imagine my relief when my eyesnded on a familiar looking figure, leaning at the edge of the balcony. He seemed to be enjoying his solitude. "Jimin.." I called him, approaching with small steps. He turns to face me, the strands of his silver hair glowing under the moonlight. It framed his equally ethereal facial structures. "Soojung." he replies, the corner of his parted lips curving into a slight smirk. I stared at the way his body appeared leaning on the side of the balcony. And before I knew it, I was checking him out. "...if you stare anymore, I''ll feel embarrassed." his voice broke me into reality, and I felt a blush spread across my cheeks. It wasn''t my fault, anyway. It was a different side of Jimin from his casual wear, the way the white sleeves were tucked tightly against the curves of his arms, and the zer thatid neatly on his shoulder. "Sorry." I nced shyly at him, and then back to the moon. Jimin chuckles softly, before licking his dry lips and begun checking me out. "you look beautiful." heplimented, running a hand slowly across his hair. Both pairs of eyes locked and it sucked the air out of my lungs. I was too distracted by how he gazed at me that my ears tuned out the noises inside the building, leaving my senses all focused on him. And he seemed to give me his undivided attention as well. The smirk on his lips grew wider, the atmosphere heightened with tension. Jimin loosened his tie, adjusted his cor and started to walk closer to me. "Do you know..." he trails off, his body inching closer to mine. I stepped back in response, eventually feeling my back hit the cold surface of the railings. "...that as the night draws in, we be animals of sin?" He leans close to my body, both his hands firmly gripping the rails on my sides. I studied his expression that darkened gradually, my heart beating out of ce. "Soojung, you walked right into a tiger''s den - and do you not expect me to devour my prey?" he whispers to me, and I could feel his warm breath against my ear. My skin tingled at every little touch, turning sensitive and hot. I shut my eyes tightly whilst he tilts his head, our lips barely touching. I couldn''t tell how long I''ve held my breath, but I could hear the screams in my head when his arm wraps itself around my waist. It was then I felt a distance between us, and i opened my eyes in shock. "Let go." Jungkook grips my wrist tightly, pulling me away from Jimin. I observed the burning rage in his eyes as his line of sight focused on Jimin''s arms that were around my waist. "Jungkook," I intertwined my fingers with his, in attempts to calm him down. The look in his eyes softened as he felt my grip, and he leads me away from the balcony and into the hallway. He brings me into a room with a beautiful cityline view behind a transparent ss window. It was too late to resist when he locks the door behind him, the two of us fully alone together with an entirety of possibilities running through my mind. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Without a moment''s notice, my wildest imaginations indeed , begin toe alive. His eyes burned with hunger, an insatiable appetite surrounding his being. Jungkook carries me in his arms, cing me onto the bed and hovers over my body. The two of us was stuck in a trance, in a storm that seemed too irresistible to bear. All barriers between us broke that moment, and I felt my feelings connect with his. "you''re driving me insane, and it''s killing me, you know that?" Jungkook stares at me sensually, his eyes half closed and lips parted. I watched as he unbuckles his watch, before throwing his zer to the floor. Hees down onto me in an instant, my muscles tense against his touches. He kisses me, morphing his lips passionately against mine. I could feel my lipstick smear onto his mouth, and the hand that run down my waist to my hips. It felt hot - yet cold at the same time. My mind was driven into a blissful madness. I couldn''t get a grip of the situation, only reacting to the irresistible touches of his hands. It was as if he had converted electric shocks into my system, leaving me numb and breathless. I let out a small whimper when his hand slides over my thighs, pinning it down with a force I''ve never felt before. When we parted our bodies, Jungkook stares down at me guiltily, the redness of his ears bing even more obvious by the second. He caresses my cheek gently, trying to find something in my eyes that he''s seeking for. "I was..." he tries to exin his immense jealousy that struck him earlier, only to stutter at my presence. My eyes darted to his neck that glistened with sweat, and his lips that were now coated with the remnants of my lipstick. "I''m sorry, Soojung. My parents told me upsetting things, that they refused to meet you. It frustrated me. And when I looked around, I saw Jimin hyung with you......" I listened closely to him, letting my thumb run across his bottom lip to wipe away the residue. "It kills me, it hurts to be caged in someone else''s expectations. I want to love freely, I want to finally be able to earn my own happiness..." Jungkook buries his face into my neck, his arms trapping me in a tight embrace. And I realized from his words, that his outstanding abilities weren''t just derived from rare talent, it was countless hardwork he puts in to sustain his parents'' expectations. It made my heart break when his vulnerable side was revealed to me. "...you have me." I said, caressing the soft strands of his hair. His hand tightened its grip on my body, unable to let go. "and I''ll be there for you, until the day you truly smile." The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
