Alone

Alone: Part 2

It was lunch break and I decided to eat in the cafeteria for once. Sadly, I chose the table right next to Jimin's and had to listen to his conversations, that lacked any type of intelligence or meaning. I tried to ignore him and his friends for the most part, but one thing caught my attention.
"...that was so sick, bro. Hey, Kook. Aside from the usual hickeys, I completely forgot to ask what happened to your back this morning? If I didn't know better, I would say you got into a fight with a tiger.", Taehyung chuckled and fist bumped Jungkook's arm.
"Exactly! Which naughty, little kitten got punished for that afterwards?", Jimin joined in and I couldn't help but glance over to see Jungkook's reaction.
I was surprised to see him already looking at me while biting his lip, which made me blush. He smirked when he noticed my tinted cheeks and turned to answer his friends.
"Good question. What was her name again? I don't even know anymore. I can't keep track at this point. I'm happy if I still know where I parked my car the next morning."
"Where do you find all these chicks, huh? It seems like you wake up in a different bed every day. When was the last time you slept at home?", Yoongi laughed and the others joined in while Jungkook shrugged.
"You should get a notebook and make a list. I'm sure Jimin would love to get his back abused like yours for once. I don't even remember the last time you looked even vaguely like that.", Hoseok teased and earned himself an eye roll from Jimin.
"My back doesn't look all messed up because my girls are tied up while I make them scream for me.", he smirked back and I had to huff in disbelief.
He couldn't be serious right now.
"Why are you staring, bookworm? Would you like to become one of them?"
My eyes squinted when he addressed me.
"Not in this life - or ever, actually. I'm sure that crusty, little bean of yours is only making girls scream in disgust, Chim. Of course that's only if they spot it at all.", I retorted with a sweet smile.
I was bickering loud enough for the other people in the cafeteria to hear and therefore caused quite some laughter.
"When will you ever stop messing with her? Y/N roasts like no other.", Yoongi commented and shook his head.
"Shut it! At least I don't have to sleep alone at night when I don't want to.", Jimin scoffed and this time, I couldn't hold myself back.
"Neither do I, but unlike you I don't have complexes that force me to brag about it all the time."
I meant to simply focus back on my lunch, but found myself clicking my tongue.
"Actually, let me boast just this once; I don't even remember the last time I slept on my own!", I blurted out and noticed how Jungkook's eyes widened before he pressed his lips together to hold back a smile.
Dammit.
I didn't want him to think that was a good thing.
"So you're saying you're a nerd in school, but a freak in the sheets? Prove it! Name one guy you've slept with.", Jimin challenged as he walked over to my table, making me get up.
"As I said, I don't have the need to brag or defend myself in front of you."
"I bet your love life is just as imaginary as your friends.", he chuckled darkly.
"Think whatever you want, Chim. But don't overwork yourself. I think I can already see smoke coming out of your ears.", I hissed and grabbed my things before I headed to my locker.
I still heard how people gasped in surprise and laughed, but I really didn't care. Being their entertainment truly wasn't the point of this. The crowd actually just made me want to leave Jimin standing there without saying anything at all. If only he didn't have this arrogant smirk on his face, that practically begged for someone to get rid of it with an insult. I sighed and shook my head, as I changed my mind and headed to the library instead of my locker. Looking at the floor, I bumped into someone when I walked around the next corner and groaned.
"My bad. I wasn't looking where I was going."
"Maybe we should both get glasses. We keep running into each other.", Jungkook chuckled.
I furrowed my eyebrows as I wondered why he was talking to me in the middle of the hallway.
"What? Cat got your tongue? You were very talkative just two minutes ago, where did that attitude go?", he asked and tilted his head in confusion.
"What are you doing? Why are you talking to me?", I asked back and took a step away from him.
"Because I had to tell you how hot that was.", he replied, quickly checked if anyone could see us and leaned forward to press his lips on mine.
My eyes widened in surprise, but the way he rolled his mouth against mine made them close soon after. I sighed, took ahold of his sweater and let him press me against the lockers while he deepened the kiss. How could a simple kiss feel so incredibly good? I unconsciously pulled him closer and closer until there was barely any space between us. Jungkook cupped my cheek and gently caressed it with his thumb, thing that made me feel all fuzzy inside. As soon as I got back to my senses for a moment, I pushed him away from me and looked around.
"Nobody's here. Everything's alright.", he assured and took ahold of my hands.
"No offense, but this affection free pass is already getting on my nerves."
Jungkook frowned at me and made me sigh in defeat.
"Stop it already. Come here, idiot.", I said and pulled him in for another kiss.
I could tell that he was smiling and he quickly wrapped his arms around me to get even closer to me. I don't know how long we stayed like this, but when I felt his other hand moving further and further down my body, I knew it was time to stop.
"Okay. Enough for now. Bad things will happen if we don't get away from each other now.", I remarked.
"Bad? Never. Inappropriate is the proper adjective.", he corrected, but I objected. "That too, but more bad things will happen to your back if we don't stop here. Sorry about that by the way.", I mumbled the last part.
"My back doesn't hurt or anything and I'm actually quite proud because those scratches prove that I did something right. If people were to see what your neck looks like under that scarf, I'd be the one apologizing.", he smiled and kissed me again.
"Class will be starting soon. You should go back to your...friends.", I gasped after we parted again. He brushed his nose against mine and hummed.
"I guess so... You're still coming to watch me practice, right?", he asked and I nodded. "Perfect. Then I'll see you later, my little tiger."
I scrunched my nose and shook my head after his statement.
"I don't like that nickname. First of all, I don't want to be a tiger and second of all, Taehyung came up with it first."
"That's fine with me. I'll stick to kitten and princess then.", Jungkook smiled warmly and pecked my nose before he left.
I leaned back against the lockers and slid down until I was sat on the floor, but Jungkook suddenly peaked around the corner again.
"Hey, uhm... I have a question-"
"No, I will not let you tie me up next time.", I cut him off and watched how he pressed his lips together.
"Good talk", he said and disappeared again.
What an idiot.
