Chapter 39: Bet

A Few Weeks Later
-  Start of a New Term -

Students seated in their homeroom waited nervously for their teachers to pass out the report cards. They had just ended their second term exams two weeks ago. The exams had been extremely hard, harder than the fourth term finals, as they've heard from previous victims of the ten-paged packets.

Tzuyu was sitting next to Yeri today, while Dahyun and Chaeyoung sat a row ahead of them. She held her unnie's hand as Mrs. Young, their homeroom teacher, passed out the students' files. The files were organized in random order so Tzuyu had no idea when her name's going to be called.

Mrs. Young peeked into each file before handing it over to the student in front of her, either smiling or shaking her head. Tzuyu watched as Chaeyoung rose from her seat and walked up to the teacher, hands slightly shaking and fingers fiddling with each other. Well, that was better than the unexpected breakdowns at unexpected places, right?

Accepting her file from the teacher, she sat back down and covered her head with her arms. Tzuyu couldn't tell if she did that was to hide her excitement or her tears. Looking away when Chaeyoung was in the front, she had missed the Mrs. Young's reaction.

Bored as she was, Tzuyu had been guessing everyone's grade by the teacher's expressions and she could tell that not everyone did good, and that made her even more nervous. Last night, she had made a bet with Jungkook that whoever achieves a better result can make the other one do whatever he or she wants. Not wanting to ruin the surprise beforehand, they each had written the task on slips of paper that were under the apples in the fridge. (That was Jungkook's idea.)

Well aware of his nasty intentions, Tzuyu did not want to lose to him. Still fairly new to this boyfriend/ girlfriend thing, she was extremely nervous. Even more nervous than Chaeyoung receiving those higher-than-70%-marks or else her parents would kill her.

"Jeon Jungkook."

Tzuyu snapped out of her thoughts when she heard her boyfriend's name. She watched him as he confidently strided up to the teacher's desk.

She carefully observed Mrs. Young's reaction, fingers crossed. Jungkook stood with his hands behind his back and looked directly at the teacher. Tzuyu knew that when it's her turn to be up there, she would either be fidgeting a lot or sweating really bad though it was the middle of February.

Her eyes followed Mrs. Young's every move. The teacher's hand slowly lifted and Tzuyu's heart stopped as Jungkook was patted on the shoulder.

"Good job, Jungkook," Mrs. Young smiled. "Proud of you."

He quickly whipped around and smirked at Tzuyu. Tzuyu hoped that no one saw him lick his lips because if they did, well, she'll have to say goodbye to her privacy at school.

Jungkook went back to his seat but kept staring at her with that winning smile on his handsome face. She tried her best to ignore the dirty thoughts in the back of her head and focus on the old lady in front. Why was her name taking so long?

Finally, after five long minutes, she was called. She gave her eyes a good look around the room before she went up and that was when she realized that she was the last one left.

Holding out her hand for her file, she stared at her shoes, not wanting to see the teacher giving her a disappointed look and still feeling Jungkook's full-of-lust stare burning the back of her head.
