On The Inside [JJK]

"Look whose coming this way..."

Hoseok smirked as he shouldered Jungkook, who turned to see Y/N coming in their direction.

They had not talked much since that one morning. The two did their own thing, occasionally asking one another a question.

Jungkook downed his food and grabbed his stuff as soon as he saw her, the others asking him what he as wrong, looking back sat her and then him.

"It's nothing. I just remembered that-"

While shuffling around and making his way from the table, Jungkook tripped over something on the floor.

Luckily, he was able to twist his body so he would land on his back. But it still hurt.

"Ah...." He held his back, a sharp pain tingling in the center.

"Dang! Are you okay?" Hoseok laughed as he made his way to the fallen boy, reaching out to carry him up, when someone else came into the picture as well.

The others went silent but allowed them to do what they were doing. Hoseok didn't even bother to say a word.

Jungkook was to focused on the pain that he didn't bother to question why everyone wasn't talking at first. The guys stood him up and helped him to sit back at his chair, which proved to be a difficult task in a way.

Despite him being the youngest, Jungkook was much heavier and stronger than the rest of them. He exercised more often and was skilled in almost everything: dancing, singing, rapping, track-and-field.

Two flicks to the head.

"Hey!" Jungkook put his hands on where he was hit and turned around to someone he never expected to see.

"Taehyung...?"

The man's eyes smiled along with his mouth, but mischievously.

"Hello~"

Taehyung waved his hands by his head and flicked Jungkook's again.

"Hey! Stop it! And why are you-"

"Look who's here! Y/N!" Taehyung threw his hands up in the air with exaggeration, Y/N becoming more shy as she drew near.

"Y/N! What's up? You haven't been here in a while!" Namjoon came over to her and ruffled her hair.

"Yeah! Avoiding us maybe?" Yoongi jokingly spoke as he took a bite of his sandwich.

"No!"

Everyone looked at the two voices who spoke.

Jungkook and Y/N stared at each other for a moment and then quickly turned away, avoiding eye contact.

Taehyung and Hoseok looked at each other, smirking at the ideas that came to mind.

"I, um..." Jungkook, still trying to endure the pain in his back, stood and with his things once again. "I'm going... I'm going to go. I have some things to do."

As the other started calling it to him as he was, Jungkook focused on the exit out of the lunch room, counting the steps it took to get there.

Y/N watched as he moved quickly and swiftly past people and tables, watching his lips move slightly. She saw him almost trip a couple of times.

Before she turned around to sit with the others, she remember it.

She looked over to Taehyung, who gave only smiled at her.

She began fidgeting with her hands, before she decided to make an attempt. Running through the room, she caught a glimpse of Jungkook's back leaving through the door. 

"Wait!"

As she exited and turned the next corner, she ran into someone and fell back.

"Oh, I'm sorry-"

When she looked up, she was met the familiar brown eyes that were widened and brown hair that sat around his face.

"Are you following me?" Jungkook smirked as he tried to keep his composure, making sure he looked perfectly fine.

He felt like running though. Because something felt off.
