Standing right in front of the principal's office, I stare at the plain wooden door that was perfectly ordinary. Not gonna lie, is a bit disappointing as the principal's office is probably the most dominant room in the school. At least it had a shiny glossy handle that shines brightly whenever I look at it. Grabbing onto the door handle, I push it down to push the door open.

Walking in and closing the door behind me, I closed my eyes and sniff the air, expecting something. As always, the air wasn't fresh but suffocating. Man, I really need some fresh air.

Opening my eyes, I was suddenly met with Jungkook's doe eyes, who I think was seated on the Lawson chair but stood up once he saw me. There were prominent lines between his eyebrows and he passed me a hard glance.

Am I in the wrong room?

I wrinkled my forehead and raised my eyebrows as I avoided looking at him. What was he doing in here? I'm sure I wasn't in the wrong room as I already had multiple glances towards the back of the door which clearly stated 'Principal's office'.

"Y/N..." He started, speaking in a brittle voice and I immediately raised a hand to stop him.

"Don't apologise or say anything. Please." I begged, my eyes still on the floor as I didn't know where else to look. Slow footsteps were walking towards me and I knew it was worthless to stop him.

Grabbing my raised hand, he pull me towards his robust body and wrapped his arms around me. Struggling to escape, I placed my hands onto his chest to push him away but he stayed put, ignoring my weak protests and slaps.

"Listen to me, please." He pleaded and I grimaced as I stop. I wasn't ready to acquiesce, but I'm going to find a way to get out of his arms. "Y/N, I'm really-"

"I told you, I don't want to hear you apologising!" I yelled, throwing several punches on his chest and he finally remove his arms around me, giving me a vacant stare as he back away. Looking up at him, there were dark circles under his eyes. For once, those eyes look tired and sad, but they suddenly widen as though he was fully awake, realising something.

"Y/N, who slapped you?" He questions, reaching my face to touch my cheek but I slapped it away like hitting a baseball with a bat.

"Jeon Jungkook." I pronounces his name, to get his attention which wasn't needed as I was the only person in the room. "It is inappropriate to touch me. We are in the principal's office and there are cameras in here!" I shouted, pointing over above to the corner of the room.

The room went into silence as Jungkook look at me, pushing his inner cheek with his tongue as he bit his lip. Giving me his dimpled smile, he started laughing out loud as though I said something wrong. I frowned at him, willing to slap him. "You're still the same- I'm glad to see that."

The door behind me was suddenly pushed open and I quickly move out the way and looked over my shoulder. Nari and the principal were at the door, looking from me to Jungkook with raised eyebrows.

"You two are early." The principal replied, gesturing Nari to go in and she did. Both of us passed each other an awkward nod and the principal walked over to his table. He sat on the cosy chair that was made from leather and smiled at us. Raising his hand, he motioned Jungkook to move to the side and asked me and Nari to come forward.

Simultaneously, we both walk over towards him. Each of us sat on each one of the Lawson chairs and I sink into it in comfort.

"The reason I have gathered you two into my office is that there's a project I want you two to work together on. Jungkook here will accompany you." The principal explained and I scoffed. No wonder he was here. "Don't worry, the project is specific and self-explanatory so you'll two will do fine."

"If is specific and self-explanatory like you said, why do we need someone to accompany us?" I questioned him, can't even bother saying his name. The principal focus his gaze on me to study me as though he knew what had happened yesterday.

"Y/N, yesterday's situation between you and him got nothing to do with anything today." He told me calmly and I scowled.

"I got nothing to do with him though." Nari piped up and I side glance at her. "Just like Y/N had said, I'm pretty sure we'll be fine. We're nearly adults after all." She reassured the principal but he stayed adamant, as he places two of his hands onto the table, turning his attention on Nari.

"Nari, I don't know what grudges you hold against my son, but please cooperate. Even if you don't think you need him, he's going to be staying here."

"Those excuses are lame," I muttered, folding my arms as I look away. The principal passed me an annoyed look but decided to ignore my statement.

"If you're annoyed with Jungkook staying here, just act like he's not there alright? Now let's move on, I don't want to keep you, kids, in here for any longer." He shakes his head, sighing heavily as though he was already fed up with us.

"So basically, what I'm going to have you guys doing today is a project. Is more like a quiz, to test your knowledge so far. After, there will be questions base on how you think about the school etcetera." He explained and I really want to argue about how we needed Jungkook here because it sounds so simple. But I don't think is a good idea so I shut up.

"Interesting... but why did you pick us two? Specifically?" Nari questioned curiously and I nodded to agree. He looked at me and then at Nari.

"Because you two are the newest students we have so far, so we're looking forward to improvements we can make for this school to be better." He responded, and I yawned out loud, bored out of my mind as I merely glance over at Jungkook over my shoulder.

My ears immediately turned red and I looked away, biting my lip as I accidentally made eye contact with him. Swallowing hard, I place a hand on the back of my head, caressing it.

Great... my feelings for him still existed.

Yesterday at night, I predicted that my feelings for him would be pulverised in particles but no. I know how I am when I'm around people I like, and it has been very long since having those feelings. Scratching my right cheek as it starts itching, I exhaled loudly.

"One of you needs to take your laptop for this and Jungkook will guide you through the website." He said, drifting his gaze from me to her. "So, who's going to take their laptop?"

"I will." Nari quickly said before letting me, volunteer. Scowling at her, I folded my arms. No fair... I wanted to go out for a walk, away from this place.

"Off you go." The principal said, smiling warmly at her. For some reason, I felt like I was getting mistreated as I watch Nari standing up and jogging happily towards the door, as though she was escaping from prison.

Welp, it is what it is.
