iv: the boy in love

After the signal baying sound had ended, a voice with an autocratic tone came through the intercom speaker. "Attention to Miss Steinfield of class three B."

There the young teen lad stood in froze but rather, she looked appropriately confused upon hearing her name. She waited until she heard the aged man's familiar utterance behind the drop-in announcement, correctly guessing to whom it belonged to. It was Mister Franklin, the foreign language professor who was known with high dedication throughout his whole life at the academy for almost fifteen years and counting perhaps. Then he continued, "The principal is looking for you. She needs you in her office. Kindly report at your utmost availability. Thank you."

The short notice had finally ended and possible protest wasn't of need at the moment. It was of little importance, she thought.

"Boo!"

Reese flinched. That damn distinct tone without indiscriminately of whatever kind prior-hand warning woke her sleeping nerves. The sarcasm of the unlooked-for voice was impossible to miss and was then greeted by her audacious lover. Jungkook himself

"What was that for?" The teenage kid queried. A smile forming at his handsome features when her expression had changed and she began to feel lighter than air.

"Nothing important, I guess." She gave the golden-hazel head a remote shrug as though she was really not interested of the said matter and Jungkook being his usual self, strode up alongside her. "The principal just want me to report in her office."

"Oh? That is quite a very rare called in for you." The seventeen year old boy added and almost seemed to want to smirk, were as his eyes only gleamed in amusement. "Or did you actually turn yourself into a naughty paw while I was gone?" He teases more which only cause an annoyance to her. "Babe, cat got your tongue?"

Unable to summon the energy to crawl back up a remark, Reese only raised her head up, facing the sleazy boy and sent him a death glare. But Jungkook just goofed further, grinning as if he were an innocent kid. And out of habit, his hand went up to the drastically shortened locks of hers which was in layers. Reaching down to just below her chin and softly tucked the pressed strands behind her ear. "You looked hotter. Better even. Damn baby, I'm getting a hard on."

Jerk?

Rather than filling the knots in her gut with butterflies, the wavy-haired teen ignored his cringe-worthy blabs. Rolling her eyes and quicken her pace. But the young man was quick enough to pull her tracks back, ceasing her from running away.

"Did I make you mad, baby? Or do you perhaps prefer the sexier version?" He bit his lower lip, pushing his golden-hazel colored locks in sexy backwards. "So, I'll take that as a yes?"

She rolled her eyes. His motives sometimes caused nuisance in her. Or maybe it was just a clever humor or notably an idiocy.

"Whatever that runs through your head, hun." The teen lady replied, her voice coated with sarcasm.

A frown then creased on Jungkook's brows, glancing back at her as he cupped her face. Tilting her chin until she was forced to meet his gaze. "Well, cheer for me later baby. I know you wouldn't missed my game."

"I-I know. I don't need a reminder."

With a hint of satisfaction, the joyous young man only chuckled in response when he noticed how her body responded to his. Her stammering, making it even more obvious.

"What? Will you stop staring like..."

And her eyes widened when he suddenly shut her off, crashing his lips into hers. But before he could dove himself deeper into her taste, intrusions do come as handy.

"What the fuck? So damn gross man!" V, who popped out of nowhere made a puking sound as he inched himself closer into the couple's feverish mood. His timings are perfect-almost, enough to burn the golden-hazel head boy's bum. "You know that very well, Jungkook Louis Matthew the-Se-ve-nth." He mouthed each of his best friend's last initials as if it were made of sentence, galling him even more. "Your inapt actions are strictly prohibited inside the campus premises."

He did not just... someone isn't gonna like this.

"Fuck away, Val Valentine!" He growled. The blonde teen should know better whenever Jungkook would address him by his full name. The five and ten feet tall young man would only mean, run or you die. But V only brushed all his hesitations away, retreating himself in a snap.

This never ends.

"I'm sorry about this, baby. You can have me all later. But I need to get rid of that dumb blonde."

Reese sighed, her shoulders slumping as she gave the crackbrained pair a quick glance. Jerks as usual. "Don't overdo it. I mean, just don't do anything stupid."

"Of course, baby. I won't." Jungkook assured before he ran into the chase and hunt the cunning half Asian rare male specie, known as his brother like quoted as best friend. "See you at the gymnasium hall." He saluted, covering his face with a winning bunny smile. "Know you love me, girl."

"Know you love me, boy."

•••••••

As the young teen woman walked through her way to the principal's office, she saw some other living existence other than her. An unbeknownst male presence who was seated at the leathery jet-black couch with his other leg half crossed. He too was probably waiting for something or someone.

Familiar.

He looked like he was almost her age. But there was something about him that seemed noxious. Even the signals her body gave put her into raging denial and it took her a few glances to figure who it was.

It can't be him.

A smug grin was then formed at the corner of the young man's thinned lips when he felt her coming up close. Should he continue provoking her? If he did, she would ran away. This time, he won't let her. "You're two fucking minutes and forty-two seconds late." He looked up, scrutinizing her stunned expression. Still, she looked beautiful and even more beautiful to him.

"What?" She bounced him with another baffled look as suspicion made all the thin hairs on her skin stood up on alert. "I wasn't expecting you..."

The raven head finally moved out to where he was seated and cocksurely stalked towards her before she could say anything else. "No, sweetheart." He protested, towering over her as he suppressed a groan. Wondering how long will he be able to resist her closeness to his body. A day? An hour? A minute? "I was expecting you."

"No, you don't"

"Yes, I do, sweetheart." He retorted back. "No tricks play."

"Will you please stop calling me that." She demanded. God help her before anything comes worse. "Spill. Why are you here?"

"I fuck the principal."

"You w-what?" Now the dumbfounded teen looked red as a tomato and she stuttered. "I mean s-stop, I wanna hear no more." She admonished and darted a disgust look at him. "You're disgusting."

"Every man is." Jimin whispered through her ear, only for her to hear. "You actually believed that, did you not? But nothing happened. I'm still a decent man as far as what you think I truly am." His smug croaky voice did nothing but to make her feel more pissed off with his presence. "Your mind is too green just when I thought you were a saint being worshipped by my brother."

What?

Reese jaw tightened shut as her fist were clenching on her sides. She felt insulted. One more and she won't tolerate anymore of his shady schemes. "This conversation isn't going anywhere. I'm leaving."

"If you leave." He studied her up and down as the warning tingles creeped down to her spine. "Mrs. Holland would be disappointed in you. You wouldn't want that, would you?" The young man who brimmed with full confidence continued and his gaze held a challenge. "Whether you like it or not. You are going to be with me." He stated, fully confident as he bent over close to her face. "Still not convince?"

A sly smirk etched onto his lips as he flashed the paper note, evidently signed by the principal.

"Here."

"That's it?" She asked for more emphasis and he quickly responded a nod. "You're asking me to give you a stroll around the school? You could've simply ask."

"You think I'm stupid?" The raven head snorted and let out a heavy sharp breath. "My brother would kill me if I ask you." And more stupid, he thought. A lame mere excuse by using the campus head authority in getting involved to his selfish favors just to make her stay on his side. Even for a short while. That way it would ended clean. He respected her just as he respected his only half blood brother.

"Was option not in your vocabulary? Go and ask someone else."

Jimin clearly had the point a minute earlier and knowing his younger half brother, Jungkook didn't like the thought of her hanging close to anyone else other than him. Though there was an exception made to the female group.

"What I mean is, tons of girls would love to bring you around school." She said in clipped tones, rolling her eyes. "All you have to do is ask. Simple. If that's what you truly want."

No, you're wrong. I wanted you. "So you want other girls to sexually harass me?" The dark haired young man snapped back. Was sex the only thing he could think of? "But at least not you. I feel safer around you."

Against her will, she begrudgingly decided of what come hell or high waters was gonna happen. Her voice full of regret. "Fine. Under one condition."

"That phrase, I hated it." The young teenage boy lifted his chin in defiance but she glared back at him and could do nothing more. Defeated at once. "Alright. Keep going."

"Distance," Reese declared, pointing up her finger down to the concrete-tile floor. "Around two feet away."

"That far?"

"You want me to take you around or not?" The average tall young lady argued and he shook his head deliberately like a good pup obeying his master. "Then stop complaining and let's get this thing over with."

"Whatever goes to your liking, babe."

She turned on her heels, silently fuming her anger out. "Oh please, stop with the name calling."

Jimin just beamed a half smile at her, refraining himself from releasing a defeated sigh. Hands fished at the pocket of his skin tight black jeans, following the lead behind her back. And for an instant, a spark was ignited through his beating organ, lay almost frozen. The next minute, his heart race faster than originally it was before. Believe him, no man had so much luck to have her.

Enjoy the pain you can endure. Fall deeper.

Why was his only happiness were all too cruel? A love unknown? He knew nothing of such. It was unknown to himself not until he met the living earth-angel like existence that same day he left the country two years back. Yet still, it made him confuse and left his mind with train series of thoughts.

"If that's the case, will you give Jimin Gabriels Alexander Park do the honors of calling your name?"

And with him running ahead of her, he said the last thing she wasn't expecting him to say.

"Then it's my greatest pleasure, Reese was it?"
