EIGHT| Rumors

Jungkook was the type who found pleasure in torturing his senses and pushing his body to the limit. So that was why, regardless of the fact that it was summer, he was out jogging; his breath heavy and legs pumping as adrenaline rushed through him.

He had gotten up early to avoid the worst of the heat. The midday sun would have been much too intense for anyone to bear, much less one that was running.

You weren't a big fan of running or waking up early, so when Jungkook told you that he woke up early to run some days, you were pretty disgusted. After seeing your expression he laughed with the knowledge that you probably wouldn't be joining him any time soon.

Jungkook sped past corners with his heart pounding heavily in his chest; sweat dripping down his face as his chest heaved in and out oxygen. Finally he stopped to take a break when he got to the middle of the small town and put his hands on his head to allow air to better enter his lungs.

He lifted the hem of his shirt slightly to wipe off his forehead, but froze when he felt as if someone was watching him. He slowly turned to see a girl from across the street staring intently, and when she found she was caught, smirked slightly and waved.

Jungkook jumped in surprise and quickly pulled his shirt down, turning red and feeling the familiar suffocating like pressure in his chest as panic surged through him under her gaze. He didn't feel comfortable enough with his English and was too shy to confront anyone; especially a girl who had clearly just been checking him out. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to run and felt very self conscious, but found that he couldn't and was rooted into place when she crossed the street and made her way over to him.

She was just a girl, and she didn't look mean or anything... maybe she just wanted to say hi?

"You look familiar," the girl told him the second she was close enough, "Do I know you?"

Jungkook took a step back and hit a trashcan, not sure how to respond and wanting to hide. She didn't look exactly threatening, but she didn't look quite safe either. Her eyes were narrowed as she stared him down, her eyes lingering on his face and abdomen. Jungkook's face flushed hard.

"Uh... Umm..."

Suddenly the girl snapped her fingers as if something had come to mind.

"Oh I know! I saw you at that restaurant with (Y/N)," She spoke, rolling her eyes as she said your name, "I was there with May and some of my other friends."

Jungkook froze when he heard mention of your and May's name.

"May?" He questioned, remembering the pretty girl who had touched him at the restaurant and spilled water on you. She certainly didn't seem pretty on the inside.

"Yeah. She's been looking around for you. What's your name?"

Looking for me?

"Jungkook." He answered without thinking, regretting it immediately. The girl made a confused face as if she had misheard him.

"Uhh... Ok. How do you say that?"

Jungkook got nervous all over again over all her questioning and froze up, opening his mouth but no sound coming out so quickly closing it again.

"Whatever. It doesn't matter. What matters is that I found you. Now come with me, I'm sure May is looking forward to talking to you. My friends all meet up at this cafe some mornings so that's where I'm going now."

She firmly grasped Jungkook's wrist and motioned for him to follow, as if he had a choice. He much rather preferred your touch as he recalled the day you had led him to the store. Although he felt nervous with you touching him, he almost felt unsafe with this girl touching him. He didn't know her and she was extremely demanding. Her grip tightened as he squirmed in anxiety.
