THE LITTLE BRAT'S SWEET AND SASSY 13

Song Kang could not understand this. What was Jungkook thinking to be revising those basic-level questions? Anyhow, he had to help this boy out.

Sun Namkoong

(He spoke in a low voice) “Miss Ha, seeing as Jungkook is a new transfer student… Can you let this go?”

Ha Ji Won was an experienced and quality teacher. On the other hand, Jungkook was a one-of-a-kind student with great potential. How did things end up like this? A stern look took over Ha Ji Won face.

Ha Ji Won

“He said it himself that he doesn’t want to attend my lessons anymore.”

Hoping she would give in to a student? Impossible! Song Kang was getting frustrated at her stubbornness.

Song Kang

(He raised an eyebrow and chuckled.) “Well, it requires a lot of time and energy to prepare for the physics competition. Since Miss Ha is willing to volunteer this time, then… Jungkook can come to my physics lesson during your mathematics period. Thanks, Miss Ha!”

A flurry of emotions chased across Ha Ji Won face like a storm. She was about to retaliate but suppressed herself upon remembering Song Kang background.

Ha Ji Won

“I can’t turn down Sir Song suggestion. That settles it, then. Dean Sun, I’ll leave first for my upcoming lesson.” (Then, she left the office, keeping her eyes straight.)

After making sure she was far into the distance, Sun Namkoong threw a disapproving glance at SongKang.

Sun Namkoong

“Come on, Kang, your decision was rather...”

Song Kang

(He raised both arms to surrender.) “I didn’t start this war. Is it my fault to do as she wishes?”

Sun Namkoong seemed frustrated.

Sun Namkoong

“I didn’t hear anything about Jungkook participating in the physics competition prior to this?”

Song Kang

“Because I made the decision on the spot,” (He replied matter-of-factly.)

The corners of Sun Namkoong lips twitched. Jungkook quickly glanced at the man. Indeed, it took someone with great strength to become the dean of students. He could actually refrain himself from shouting aloud in this situation.

Sun Namkoong

(He took a long inhale.) “Then, Jungkook mathematics studies from now on...”

He scored full marks in the general science test, but what about his mathematics? If he were to stop attending the lessons… Song Kang did not seem bothered by it.

Song Kang

“Senior-level mathematics are peanuts. I’ll help him with that sometime.”

Sun Namkoong

(He rubbed his temples.) “Alright, you can leave now.”

Both Jungkook and Song Kang walked out of the office together.

Jungkook

“Thanks, Sir Song.”

He said after walking a short distance. His tone was soft but sincere. he knew when people were being genuinely nice to him. song Kang looked at him quietly with both hands in his pockets.

Song Kang

“If you really want to thank me, then throw out those silly reference books you have back home.”

One Thousand Best High School Physics Questions? Seriously?! Jungkook considered briefly before shaking her head.

Jungkook

“I really can’t do that.”

Jungkook

💭It was a gift from Taehyung, after all. If he threw that out…

Song Kang

(He was not serious about it anyway). “It’s fine if you want to keep it, but there’s no need to revise that. I’ll lend you better ones later. Oh, right, the lesson for senior physics is arranged in the evening slot. You can just head over there during your night self-learning sessions. It takes place in that block in front, the left classroom on the second floor.”

In actuality, Jungkook had signed up for this competition in his previous life as well. So-hee too. To be honest, So-hee was not any good at physics. She managed to acquire good grades in the exams after studying diligently. However, her knowledge was not outstanding when compared to the others who had signed up for the competition as well. One time, Jungkook overheard her sobbing while clutching the test paper. It turned out the latter had failed to solve the questions again. After that incident, he started tutoring So-hee on the subject. However, during the semi-finals, she was reported to have cheated. All the effort spent was wasted and a bad reputation was all he gained. On the other hand, So-hee won the first runner-up prize and was heavily praised because of it. The corners of Jungkook lips curled into a smile.

Jungkook

“Sure.”

Jungkook

“Don’t worry. I’ll do my best to get good results.”

Yoongi took back the test paper when Jungkook returned to the classroom. Sunghoon was heading out of the room. The two of them bumped into each other.

Jungkook

“Thanks for earlier,” (he said.)

Yoongi realized the new student might be friendlier than expected. He cupped his chin in one hand while fidgeting with a ballpen in the other in a practiced manner. A smile spread across his face.

Min Yoongi

“Hey, Jungkook, I was the one who helped you just now. Why are you thanking him?”

Sunghoon zipped his jacket all the way up to his neck. He had the tall build of a fit young man. The eyes behind those glasses remained distant.

Cho sunghoon

“Alright.”

He had not offered to help in the first place. Not to mention he was not of much help anyway. Jungkook walked past him toward Yoongi.

Jungkook

“I’ve already thanked you with the answer for the third sub-question, haven’t I?”

Yoongi was a mathematics fanatic. Undoubtedly, he had been elated to discover the correct answer. He found out this new student was exceptionally smart.

Min Yoongi

(He leaned forward.) “Then you can’t say no when I ask you for help with mathematics in the future.”

Rowoon

(He could not resist himself.) “Are you out of your mind? You’ve been friends with Brother Sunghoon for so long. Don’t you care about his feelings?!”

Min Yoongi

“Ah, good point.”

Min Yoongi

(He clapped his hands together.) “You’ll tutor Brother Sunghoon too, right?”

Rowoon

(He almost flipped the table.) “What the heck is wrong with you?!”

Sunghoon had always been the top student for his year since entering Busan Second Senior High School. No one had been able to challenge his position in all these years. Would there be any questions he could not solve? Jungkook nodded casually. he probably would not get pestered by these two too often anyway, given their outstanding academic results. Rowoon crossed his legs together as if waiting for something exciting to happen.

Rowoon

“Brother Sunghoon, this joker here is asking for death! He’s looking down on you!”

Given Sunghoon personality, Yoongi would probably suffer for the next few days. Unexpectedly, Sunghoon grabbed his cup and left the room without commenting further

Rowoon

(He scratched his head.) “Has he always been this good-tempered?”

Yoongi kicked the leg of the boy’s chair. What an idiot. … Jungkook went to the canteen alone in the afternoon. Many eyes were on him when he arrived. he had long grown accustomed to the attention, but something felt wrong today. Some people were staring at him while whispering quietly. A few of them even took out their phones to take pictures of him. Something was definitely up. His phone started ringing in her pocket. he reached out for it to have a quick look.

Other side

[Brother Kook! Is this you?]

Jungkook

(There was a link to the Weibo site on the top. he clicked it without hesitation.)

[@CampusGossip: A bullying case in Busan Second Senior High School! Pushing a fellow student down the stairs in broad daylight. Horrifying!] The contents of that post was a clip about ten seconds long. The person behind the camera had probably stood on the bottom floor at a close distance. The clip clearly showed a boy pressing a girl against the railing, as if threatening to push the latter. From the bottom floor, the bully’s pretty profile was captured by the screen. Anyone who knew Jungkook’s could definitely tell that it was him. The post was flooded with comments. [DecemberWithoutSnow: Cancel school bullying!] [Summerxyz: How could a person like that be accepted into Busan Second Senior High School, a school with over a hundred years of history? She’s so arrogant.] [Tay-y: This happened in Yunzhou Second Senior High School. The new transfer senior student is named Jungkook. I heard he was mixing with the wrong group in the past. Munchingpopcorn.jpg] [Jujubets: Jungkook should come forward to apologize! Expel him from the school! Now!]

Jungkook was scrolling through the comments for a while, and the number of comments just kept increasing. Even the number of shares surged rapidly. The comments were furious and there were a lot of nasty vulgarities. Some of them were even starting to lynch her through the internet. Since school bullying was involved and there was video ‘evidence’, a few related keywords quickly climbed up the search trend. #BusanSecondHigh #BusanSecondHighSchoolBullying #Jungkook Jungkook stared at the hashtag with his name for a few seconds. A cold glint flashed across his eyes. Pop. Another message appeared.

Other side

[Brother kook, something is not right. Is someone buying out your name in the search trend?]

Something was indeed not right. The video was released half an hour ago and the uploader only had a little more than 300,000 fans. However, when several verified accounts shared the video, the video had garnered more than 10,000 comments in a very short time. Then, his name appeared in the search trend. The snippet only revealed half of his face and it was shot from a lower angle a distance away. Besides those who knew him that could tell it was him, the others would not be able to. Even if someone mentioned his name in the comments, his name should not top the search trend so quickly.

Other side

[Brother kook, who did this to you?]

Who could it be? Second High was a big school, so it was possible that someone coincidentally caught hi. in the act and took the video. However, only a handful of them could afford to spend money to put his name on the search trend. The video was short as it only captured the moment when Jungkook was trying to scare the girl. Since it was shot from afar, the video did not capture any sound at all. Anyone who saw the video without knowing the context would assume that it was a violent case of school bullying

Other side

[These people know nothing! Brotherkook, stop watching! I’ll get someone to hack the account!]

Jungkook

(He finally replied.) [Leave it.]

After a moment of silence, Jungkook was replied with a bunch of question marks and exclamation marks.

Other side

[Leave it?! Brother kook, are you serious? These people’s comments are nasty!]

The people knew nothing of the truth. Instead, they jumped to a conclusion, judging and convicting him based on one short video. It felt like if they were any later, they would not be able to get justice for the poor girl.

Jungkook

(He thought it through before he added. ) [Just find out who took the video and leave the rest.]

After sending that message, he put his phone away and left the canteen under everyone’s judgmental gaze.

What you all think who is behind this mess?

The classroom was usually quiet during the afternoon break. Yet today, it was unusually lively and noisy. The students sat in groups and stared at their respective smartphones, gossiping in excitement. When Jungkook returned to the classroom, the lively atmosphere immediately plunged into silence. The class all knew about Jungkook beating up the girl, but most of them had never seen it with their own eyes. Moreover, since Sun Namkoong had intentionally shoved it under the rug, the incident was left idle and everyone eventually moved from the topic. Unfortunately, this was not the case now. The video online clearly showed Jungkook beating the girl. Even though it was just a video, anyone who saw it could feel his coldness and ruthlessness. It looked like Jungkook was really going to push the girl off the rail. It was unlike any common school fights. The slightest mistake and someone could have died from the incident. Jungkook seemed immune to the gazes. he simply returned to his seat, pulled the chair out to sit, and tidied his uniform before he laid down on his arms for a nap.

Jung Jong-seo

“Is he afraid?”

Jung Jong-seo

(She looked at Jungkook in reverence. Her eyes were filled with disgust and contempt.) “Soso, he’s really going to stay in your house from now on? That’s too dangerous! Who knows what she would do to you if he’s having a bad day? Why don’t you talk to Uncle Lee? Tell him to move out from your house.”

Lee So-Hee

(She shook her head. ) “he’s my mother’s son as well.”

Jung Jong-seo

(She widened her eyes in disbelief.) “Are you not scared? Look at him, this is definitely not the first time he has engaged in such a violent act!”

Lee So-Hee

(She tugged Jong-seo hand and shook her head gently, indicating for her to keep it down.) “Brother Jungkook has a rough past, so don’t say that about him.”

Everyone around her heard what she said, and they looked at each other in silence. Jungkook background was not news anymore. They understood that a kid who grew up in such harsh conditions would be different. If he were not fierce enough, he would not be where he was now, unharmed.

Jung Jong-seo

<She grunted. > “You defend him and treat him so well, but I don’t think he’ll appreciate your effort.”

Jung Jong-seo

(A slight pause later, she covered her mouth and chuckled.) “Anyhow, this incident is getting bigger on the internet. Even if Uncle Lee doesn’t do anything, the school would certainly do something. Second High would never tolerate a stain in their reputation.”

Yunding Fenghua, Taehyung luxurious mansion. Jhope was sitting in his car when he glanced at his watch. It had been half an hour, yet the young master had not shown up. He rubbed the center of his brows and accepted defeat. He got out of the car and walked into the mansion. Yunding Fenghua was a three-story mansion with a minimalistic design concept, so it was rather plain at first glance. Jhope headed straight to the master bedroom on the third floor. Under normal circumstances, he would never visit the mansion at this hour, considering Taehyung condition. However, he had made an appointment with Dr. choi yesterday and it was almost time, yet Taehyung was still a no-show. He could only force himself up there. Right before he could knock on the door, he realized the door was not closed.

Jhope

“Second Master Kim?”

He walked after he opened the door and looked around. Only then did he see a vague figure sitting at the study room’s balcony that was connected to the bedroom. He walked over. Taehyung was leaning on the rattan chair with his legs extended comfortably. He had a book in his hand. He must have just woken up because his black hair was still messy. The sunset painted the sky with a rosy-red color and outlined his silhouette as though he had a layer of glow around him. His brows were sharp, his nose was tall, and his lower jaw was prominent. His cold and noble presence made him admirable yet distant enough to keep others away. When he noticed Jhope presence, Taehyung shut the book and looked around. Jhope had a vague feeling that Taehyung had slipped something between the pages when he shut it. However, because he did not get a clear look at it, he assumed that it was just a bookmark and was not overly concerned.

Jhope

(He tapped his watch and said) “Second Master Kim, we’re going to be late. Can you please do me a favor and meet the doctor for once?”

Taehyung was in a decent mood, so after some thought, he stood up. He put the book back on the top of the rack

Kim Taehyung

“Half an hour.”

Jhope sighed a breath of relief and followed him downstairs. The two of them got into the car and the car sped out of Yunding Fenghua. Taehyung took his phone out to reply to some messages. After sending some texts, he did not keep it away. Instead, he played with it, spinning it around as if he was waiting for something. A while later, when he realized that it was a Tuesday, he rubbed his brows and wanted to keep his phone away. A news notification suddenly popped up.

[Round up for the school bullying incident at Busan Second High! Exposing the fake rich darling in the bully!] Taehyung stared at his phone for a second before tapping on the notification.

Kim Taehyung

Kim Taehyung

“Turn around. We’re going to Second High.”
