35 | pair work

J U N G K O O K

History lesson had begun ten minutes ago when I entered the classroom, panting like crazy. Fortunately, Professor Kim was kind enough to allow me in as I had never been late before.

I walked towards my seat and plumped down on the chair, trying to collect myself after running so much.

The morning was going to be long... Or so I thought, before Mr.Kim announced we would work in pairs. Almost immediately,  Y/n turned her face to look at me, much to my amusement. Of course we'd pair up.

"You will use the remaining thirty minutes to think of a two parts plan for your presentation. I'll check on each pair, make sure to write your ideas so that I can help you." the teacher explained as he handed out detailed instructions "After that, you will be able to work on your presentation. I want it done by the end of the month."

The topics were all related to the Japanese occupation in Korea, offering various angles to work on. Once Y/n and I were seated together, we picked a topic.

"World War II?" Professor Kim nodded "Great choice, there are a lot of books on the matter in the school library."

"Sure, we'll go check. But I have enough ressources at home. My sister read a lot about it, I think she kept everything."

Eventually, the teacher left to help other students. I, on the other hand, felt like teasing rather than helping. I wasn't sure why, but I wanted to fluster Y/n.

"So, your home?"

"Huh?" the girl frowned

"To work on the presentation. Your home sounds good."

A small smile crept up her face, causing my heart to skip a beat for whatever fucking reason.

"Sure, my mom would be happy to see you! She's always like—why don't you invite Jungkook over? He's such a nice boy, handsome and blablabla." as she mimicked her mother, I couldn't help but laugh "You're the missing son she needs at home. Too much."

"Come on, that's really kind!" I smiled proudly "What about her son-in-law?"

All of the sudden, Y/n paused. "What?"

Wow, I really enjoyed that.

"You heard me."

She bit her lip, looking away. "Shut up."

"Ohhhh," I pinched her cheek, only to gain an adorable insult "you're shy!"

"Whatever, dumbass."

"Ouch." I brought my hand to my heart "Why don't you love me?"

But this time, she didn't fall for it. "Oh, but I do!" she smiled, wiggling her eyebrows "Wanna kiss?"

"Gross." I pushed her face away, only for her to bite my hand "Fuck off!"

As she giggled next to me, I rubbed my hand to cool the pain down.

"Alright, you can leave! Make sure to share the amount of work with your partner. See you next week."

During lunch, I went to the council's room where my brother and some of his friends were eating. More than anything, I was curious about Jimin's situation with a girl he was supposed to go on a date with. Also, Y/n and her friends had been busy watching and commenting a dating show lately, which bored the shit out of me.

When I entered the office, I noticed most of the boys sitting around the coffee table with several lunchboxes on it.

Yoongi nodded to acknowledge my presence, whereas Jimin and Hoseok yelled my name. Namjoon, on the other hand, was sitting at the desk, slurping noodles with his gaze set on the computer screen, probably studying for Suneung.

I sat with the boys, chuckling as Yoongi laughed at Hoseok. As they kept bickering, I leaned towards Jimin who was sitting right next to me.

"So, Bo?" I said, addressing him an amused look

The junior student rolled his eyes. "I'm not interested."

I frowned. "But I thought you had a date?"

"We did, against my will."

"What do you mean?"

Jimin sighed, suddenly more interested by his chopsticks than our conversation. It was obvious he wasn't comfortable, but he answered anyway. "I agreed to go out with her, just once." I nodded, extremely curious "I thought it might help our situation, however..." he didn't finish his sentence, glaring strongly

"Did she clearly ask you out or did she unclearly imply it, trapping you in the process?" I asked, confused by his reaction

"She implied it, but I'm not stupid." I nodded, not necessarily okay with that but whatever "I gave her a chance, and guess what? She spent the whole date teasing and making fun of me."

I cracked a smile, picturing the scene. "Maybe it's the way she flirts?"

Jimin facepalmed, obviously disagreeing. "Teasing could be fun, but this—she kept comparing me to her autistic friend, which by the way is very disrespectful to the latter, and she called me a tight-ass tyrant."

Now, what did I say about that girl?

"Told you, she's a bully."

The vice-president let out a heavy sigh, bringing the boys' attention on him. "She's so mean, I should've listened to all of you."

Hoseok addressed him a small smile, pain  apparent in his usually bright eyes. "It's fine, you're just a good person. You wanted to give her a chance."

"And now I hate her even more."

I shrugged. "Fair enough."

After that, Yoongi managed to shift the conversation towards a happier subject. I, on the other hand, just sat there, thoughtful. Though I felt sorry for Jimin, I couldn't help but compare his situation to mine. Despite the conflicts he shared with Bo, he took the time to know her better so that his opinion of her moght change or stay the same.

This made me realize how much of a coward I was. I felt a special connection with Y/n, but even as her friend, I couldn't bring myself to ask her out. Not that I didn't want to, because God knows how much I hated being too scared to do so, but how would she react? It was a mystery to me. However, I wouldn't know until I tried.

Overthinking was pointless. I had to shut up my thoughts and go for it. I can do that. I have to.

As if expressing these thoughts outloud would help, I cut the boys' conversation to announce my resolution. "I'll ask Y/n out." I blurted out "Maybe." they were all staring, mouth agape "Or not."

For the first time since lunchtime, I heard my brother's voice. "Finally!" he exclaimed rather loudly "Go get her."

I cringed, but of course I would.
