THE LITTLE BRAT'S SWEET AND SASSY 8

Lee So-hee’s smile froze for a moment. Jungkook wanted her to write an apology essay?! Unbelievable!

Jungkook

“Mhmm?”( He raised a brow.)

Jungkook

“I thought you said you’ll help me with everything? Is writing an essay too troublesome for you?”

The class went quiet, so quiet that everyone would be able to hear a needle dropping to the floor. It was then a hand stretched over and took the paper away.

Rowoon

(He said with an attentive smile) “Oh, would you look at that? I’m familiar with writing an essay, so let me do it! Let me do it!”

Lee So-hee had always been a role model student. She had never written an apology essay before.

Min Yoongi

“Yeah, Lee So-hee’s hands are made for painting. She’s not suitable for writing apology essays, am I right?” ( He giggled as he watched from the side)

Rowoon had liked Lee So-hee for two years now, but she never even spared a glance at him. Despite the countless defeats, he never gave up and got even more determined. So-hee tightened her lips.

Lee So-Hee

“Thank you, but this essay is a little…”

Rowoon

(He was taken aback. )“It’s nothing, it’s a piece of cake!”

Based on Rowoon’s reaction, it seemed like he would write anything for Lee So-hee. Jungkook lazily looked away. he had never noticed the contempt and hate behind that smiley face in his past life, and he wondered why. Both Lee So-hee and Lee Cheng viewed Jungkook as an outsider, an invader trying to ruin their home. It was just that Lee Cheng was younger and did not know how to conceal his feelings.

Jungkook

“Is there anything else?” (He looked rather agitated with Lee So-hee beside her.)

Even a blind man knew that he disliked Lee So-hee’s company. Lee So-hee face flushed and she forced herself to shake her head. She turned around and returned to her seat. She lowered her head when she got back and looked rather moody. Grievances covered her face, as though she had been treated unfairly. The other students looked at each other, wondering what really happened. To them, the ‘siblings’ were not as close as they thought. Jung Jong-seo got angry when Lee So-hee was treated poorly.

Jung Jong-seo

“So-hee, you’re simply letting that boy treat you like that!?”

Lee So-Hee

(she held her hand and forced a smile on her face.) “BrotherJungkook is new here. he’s still trying to adapt.”

Jung Jong-seo

(She rolled her eyes at her.) “What’s with the attitude?! he’s living under your roof as an outsider but is behaving like he’s the owner of the house instead!”

Jung Jong-seo was loud, so everyone in the class heard her. A lot of the students turned around to Jungkook, but he only propped his chin on his hand and did not look embarrassed at all. Instead, he slightly grinned while looking at Jung Jong-seo.

Jungkook

“What’s wrong? Did I eat from your bowl?”

Jung Jong-seo was silent after that.

Jungkook

“It’s the Lee family’s matter. Who are you to interfere?”

Jungkook might be an outsider to the Lee family, but he had a complicated relationship with Son Ye-jin. Jung Jong-seo was a nobody. She wanted to argue back, but when she met those clear but cold eyes, she somehow felt awkward and scared. As such, she shut her mouth instead.

Jung Jong-seo

(A moment later, she got to So-hee and said while feeling aggrieved) “Look at him, he’s full of himself! You have to be careful of him! Don’t you get too close to him!”

Lee So-Hee

(she slightly frowned.) “I don’t know what I did wrong, but Brother Jungkook seems to hate me…”

Ever since Jungkook arrived at their door, she had tried her best to be welcoming but… Jungkook looked outside the window. The sun in September was dazzling. His attitude toward So-hee was nothing. It was not even the appetizer to what she wanted to do to the family. he ought to take back what they owed him, including interest.

A day flew by in the blink of an eye. Apart from those who came because of Jungkook’s ‘notoriety’ and looked at him through the window, Jungkook had a rather peaceful day. 6:00 p.m. in the evening, Lee So-hee was brought away by the driver. The final round of the competition was around the corner, so she would spare a couple of hours a day to practice and prepare at the exhibition master’s place. Jungkook studied by himself until 9:00 p.m. at night before leaving. he had told the driver of the Lee family that he would go back by himself. Everyone in the family felt a weight being lifted. As the colorful lights lit up, Jungkook followed the leaving crowd and walked out of the school. Then, a loud engine roar and the screams of girls caught his attention. he looked at the noise and tried to find out what happened. A distance away, a big black heavy bike had stopped in front of the school’s entrance. The young man on the bike was slim but had a big black jacket on him. He had short silver-gray hair and brown eyes that looked sharp. He was emanating a wild and manly aura. His presence made him stand out from the girls and boys in uniforms. He put his long legs on the ground and started to look around. Then, he fixed his gaze on someone. He grinned and whistled loudly. All the girls and boys turned around, curious and surprised to know who he was calling to. The one he whistled at was… Jungkook?! Jungkook walked over with a blank look.

Jungkook

“Why are you here? Didn’t I say I’ll go there later?”

Hwang Hyunjin

(He smiled and looked at him. ) “You said you’re coming, so how can I not fetch you myself, am I right?”

Jungkook

(He sized him up from top to bottom.) “Even so, you don’t have to…”

Hwang Hyunjin

(He knew what she wanted to say and did not mind. He gave him a helmet and said) “Hop on, I’ll drive you there.”

Meanwhile, in a bookstore opposite the street, Kim Taehyung was standing in front of a shelf filled with supplement books for third-years in high school. He was talking on the phone while browsing the books.

Kim Taehyung

“Mhmm, just got into third year this year. Scores… Average, I guess. A little weak in Physics.

Kim Taehyung

“Mockup Tests Compilation is over.

Kim Taehyung

“30 volumes of Yungang Scrolls? This one? Isn’t it a little difficult?”

He was browsing carefully and driving Song Kang mad.

Song Kang

“Second Master Kim, what are you doing? You didn’t even pay attention to picking books when you were in high school. Oh wait, you didn’t even select books at all!”

Kim Taehyung

(He was not moved.) “This, this, and this. That’s it.”

Song Kang

(He clenched his teeth and said,) “Enough!”

Kim Taehyung

He was getting on Song Kang nerves. “he should be studying by himself at night. I’ll send the books to him. Talk to you later.”

Song Kang

(He was shocked. ) “Huh?! Studying by himself? Hold on, a student in my school?! You!”

Taehyung did not care what Song Kang said. He hung up the phone and paid for the books.

cashier

(she looked at him and asked with a polite smile, ) “Sir, are you buying revision books for your children?

He looked like a nobleman in his early 20s, so the possible reasons for him to buy these books were either for his brother, sister, or nephews and nieces. Taehyung thought for a moment before he answered with a smile.

Kim Taehyung

“Mhm.”

cashier

(She tied the books together and said with an impressed tone,) “You’re really kind.”

If she had a handsome man sending her books during her high school days, she would have gotten into Xijing University. Kim Taehyung took the bag of books and walked out. He looked up and slightly squinted his peach blossom eyes.

Jungkook looked at the helmet handed to him, quickly frowning. In his past life, Hwang Hyunjin knew he got into trouble and was killed on the way to her in a traffic accident. He was the only son of the Hwang family, and after his death, his parents were devastated. It was followed by the fall of their family’s business. The Lee family took the opportunity and devoured the Hwang family’s business together with the other families. The Hwang family was forced out of the scene after that. Jungkook had drowned herself in guilt and self-blame for a long time. he could barely sleep at night.

Jungkook

“Get a car instead,” (he said.)

Hwang Hyunjinwas a little startled, but before he could say a word, a lazy and cold voice sounded beside them.was a little startled, but before he could say a word, a lazy and cold voice sounded beside them.

Kim Taehyung

“Why is a boy like you running around at night instead of doing his homework at home?”

The voice was as pleasant as a cello, and when it entered Jungkook’s ears, it felt rather numbing. he turned around and saw a delicate face. he blinked.

Jungkook

“Second Master Kim?”

Kim Taehyung

(He slightly squinted his eyes and sized up the boy. He then looked at Hwang Hyunjin with a raised brow.) “Where are you going?”

For whatever reason, Jungkook suddenly felt as if he had been caught red-handed doing something wrong. Hwang Hyunjin realized it a moment later and had an inkling of who the man was. He was handsome and his family name was Kim.

Hwang Hyunjin

💭 ‘KimTaehyung? Why is he here? Wait, why does he look like he knows Jungkook? He sounds like they’re close too?! I never heard about him from Jungkook before!”

Jungkook

(He froze for a moment before saying, ) “We have some matters to deal with.”

Kim Taehyung

(He squinted his eyes.) Matters? What kind of matters could a boy in his third year possibly have and must deal with at night?

Kim Taehyung

(He stuffed the bag of books into his arms.) “Take this.”

Jungkook

(He took the bag curiously. “What in the…”

Jungkook

When he got a clear look at the mock test papers and studying materials, the words that got stuck in his throat were swallowed back into his stomach.

Kim Taehyung

“You’re already a third-year high school student. Pay more attention to your studies,” (He said nonchalantly.)

Jungkook did not know what to feel when he saw the brand new books in his arms. ‘What is Taehyung thinking?!’

Jungkook

“Second Master Kim, to what do I owe this visit? Don’t tell me you came all the way here just to give me this,”

Kim Taehyung

“I have an appointment with Jhope here. He’s late, so I wandered around.”

Jungkook was not completely convinced by what he said. The two rich young masters could meet up anywhere yet they decided to meet in front of Busan Second Senior High School?! If he remembered correctly, Kim Taehyung only studied high school for a year and was in university for one and a half years. He got a double degree upon graduating. How would he know what kind of books a third-year student needed? However, it was rather far-fetched to claim that he came all the way here just to give him the books. Taehyung looked at him. Jungkook sighed helplessly and put the books into his bag. The empty bag was stuffed after he loaded the books inside. It had been a long while since he had a bag full of books. he could barely remember when the last time was.

Hwang Hyunjin

He finally reacted to the situation. He smiled and greeted Kim Taehyung, “Second Master Kim? I’m Hwang Hyunjin”

Hwang Hyunjin had a valiant look. His wild and untamed aura could not be contained. He looked energetic and sharp. He was one of those young men who would turn heads wherever he went.

Kim Taehyung

(He nodded like a blue blood he was and said) “I’m KimTaehyung.”

A car drove over from the corner and stopped in front of the few of them. Jhope popped his head out of the window.

Jhope

“Hey, Little Jungkook! What a coincidence running into you here.”

Jungkook

(He went quiet for a moment.) “Master Jung, I’m a student of Busan Second Senior High School now.”

How could it be a coincidence if Jhope saw Jungkook at his own school?

Kim Taehyung

(He looked asquint at him.) “You’re five minutes late.”

Jhope was baffled by what Taehyung said. He had been at dinner when Taehyung called him. He came as fast as he could. Before he could find out why, Taehyung hung up the phone on him. He had to ditch the guests who he was having dinner with, but when he arrived, Kim Taehyung told him he was late?! Unfortunately, it was not appropriate for him to diss Taehyung in front of Jungkook, but he marked it down in his heart.

Jhope

💭‘Brothers? More like someone who gets the plot moving… I’m just a tool guy…’

Kim Taehyung

(He looked at Jungkook.) “It’s getting late. You can do whatever you want to do tomorrow. I’ll take you home.”

Jungkook

(He shook his head.) “No.”

Jungkook stared at him and saw the determination as well as stubbornness in his eyes, which caused him to furrow his brows slightly. A moment later, he decided to take a step back.

Kim Taehyung

“Get in the car. I’ll drive you.”

Jungkook originally did not want to trouble them, but when he looked at Hwang Hyunjin and remembered what happened in her past life, the best way out of the situation would be getting into Jhope’s car.

Jungkook

“Thank you.”

Jungkook

(He then looked at Hwang Hyunjin and said) “Put your bike here. Call someone to drive it back and get into the car with me.”

Hwang Hyunjin frowned. It was not that he could not accept the arrangement, but the original plan was for the two of them to go to the promised location. It was supposed to be the two of them only. If he got into the car, Jhope would surely tag along. The Hwang family and Jung family knew each other. Hwang Hyunjin might not be close to Jhope, but he knew the guy, let alone Second Master Kim who came from the capital. Jungkook really did not want Hyunjin on the bike, but ever since they knew each other, he knew Hwang Hyunjin loved his bike. he really had no say in this. Now, they were in Busan, so…

Jhope

(He looked at everyone and said with a smile) “Hyunjin, since Little Jungkook has made it clear, stop standing there and get in the car. Not anyone can make me their personal driver.”.”

Since he was older than Hwang Hyunjin, his words were able to convince him.

Hwang Hyunjin

(He was a cool guy, after all. He smiled, shook his silver hair, and said) “Of course!”

He got off his bike and made a call. Someone would come over and pick up the bike later. The group wanted to get into the car. Taehyung opened the rear door and signaled at Jungkook with his chin. Jungkook got closer, and when he wanted to get into the car by bending over, the burden on her shoulders was lifted. he turned around and saw Taehyung holding his bag for him. The heavy bag felt like feathers in his hand. Taehyung sensed the boy staring at him. He looked down at her and grinned softly.

Kim Taehyung

“It’s heavy, it might squash you.

Jungkook was 168cm tall, yet he could not find the words to talk back to him.

Jungkook

‘Fine. As long as you’re happy.”

Hyunjin wanted to get into the backseat with Jungkook, but before he could make a move, he felt chills running down his back. He stiffly turned around and saw an abysmal, cold gaze directed right at him He suddenly felt immense pressure on his shoulder.

Jhope

(He smiled and said) “ Hyunjin, it has been a while since we met. Come sit in front, let’s have a chat.”

Hyunjin felt immediate salvation and quickly ran to the front passenger seat. Taehyung then got into the car. Jhope’s car was spacious, but for whatever reason, Jungkook felt that the atmosphere was tense and tight with Taehyung beside him. A faint scent came from him. It was as refreshing as cedar leaves.

Jhope

(He started the car and asked,) “Where to, Little Jungkook?”

Jungkook

(He said calmly) “Xiaosong Hill.”

Jhope was shocked. He stared at Jungkook through the rear-view mirror. Taehyung was closing his eyes to get some rest, but when he heard the location, he slowly opened his eyes.

Jhope

“Xiaosong Hill?” (He frowned for a bit and then looked at Taehyung with a worried expression.)

Taehyung leaned back on the seat, hiding his face in the shadow. However, his abysmal eyes could still be seen. No one could see what kind of expression he was wearing. Xiaosong Hill was a sightseeing spot in Busan’s suburbs. The view was great up on the hill. However, it was known not because of its magnificent view but because it was an underground racing track in Busan. A race would be held every month in Xiaosong Hill, and all the participants were either blue blood or wealthy people. The reward for winning the race was high, hence it had always been competitive. He did not expect Jungkook and Hyunjin to be heading to Xiaosong Hill.

Jhope

(He showed a flattering smile. He held onto the thinning hope in his mind and asked) “Little Jungkook, are you going there to… watch the race?”

Jungkook

(He shook his head and said with a serious tone) “No, I’m going there to earn money.”
