Ephemeral BTS

29 ~ I Don't Like Him

I was uncomfortable for the last few minutes of the class but I was still trying my best to pay attention. I start to rub my arms in efforts to stay a bit warm, this class is freezing.

"Are you cold?" Taehyung asks me. I give him a small nod. Kai quickly shrugs off his jacket.

"Take this," he smirks at me as he hands me his jacket. Before I could say anything back, Jungkook lightly pushes Kai's hand away from me.

"That won't be necessary." Jungkook places his jacket around my shoulders. I'm tempted to throw his damn jacket back at him because he's only doing this to establish some sort of claim. However, I'm pretty cold so I take the jacket instead.

"Thank you," I mumble while sliding my arms through. As mad as I am, I take in a deep breath and close my eyes. His scent alone warms me up. I squeeze the jacket around me, almost pretending it's him. When I open my eyes, Jungkook is looking at me with soft eyes. He places an arm over my shoulders and pulls me close to him.

"I'm sorry," he whispers in my ear. He gives me a small and gentle kiss on my cheek. I rest my head on his shoulder. Taehyung and Jimin both relax and smile at us. I guess they can sense the tension slowly disappearing.

"It's okay," I say. Jungkook squeezes me tighter before letting me go and grabbing my hand.

"It's not, let me make it up to you tonight." I look at him but don't say a word. "Can I take you somewhere?" he asks.

"I kind of have to do laundry, that's why I'm wearing a skirt today. I'm completely out of pants and shorts," I admit a bit embarrassed. His eyes go to my skirt and a pervertive smile flashes across his face. I feel myself go warm.

"I mean if the skirt is the problem I could always help you take it off," he whispers in my ear. My eyes go wide and I elbow his side. He jolts in his seat making a few people stare at us.

"You're crazy," I shake my head. I'm trying to act mad but honestly that comment did not bother me at all. Maybe I do want him to help....so what? My mind starts to wander to a place it shouldn't. We kissed last night and I've never felt whatever it was that I felt, with anyone else. I felt like I needed him more than I needed the air to breathe. A huge part of myself wanted to cry out when our lips finally parted. I wanted more of him...maybe I still do.

I wonder what his hands would feel like if they weren't holding my face. What if he was holding my waist instead, pulling me closer to him? Has he ever been with anyone before? He seemed like he knew what he was doing. How far would he have gone if we were alone? How far would I have LET him go if we were alone?

"What are you thinking about?" I feel Jungkook whisper in my ear. I clear my throat and sit up a little straighter.

"Nothing." I flip through my notebook for no reason and pretend to read something. I can't tell him I'm thinking about us. At least not while we're in class.

"When can we talk?" he asks. I look up at him.

"After class?" I question, a bit unsure.

"I mean alone." I like that he doesn't make me uncomfortable at all. When it comes to other people, I can be scared to be alone with them. With Jungkook I'm not scared at all. I sometimes look forward to our alone time, such as our walks to school or our time at the park. I get to be myself around him.

"I'm not sure," I admit. Before he replies, the professor dismisses the class. Everyone gets up from their seats and starts packing their things. I swing my bag on my back and let out a yawn.

"So, I was trying to text you this morning. In fact, everyone called you at lease three times," Jimin says. "Is your phone okay?" I roll my eyes and sigh.

"My phone is perfectly fine......in my room," I force a smile. Taehyung and Jimin let out a groan.

"Everytime," Tae complains about my lack of preparation. Kai shrugs Jimin out of the way and stands directly in front of me. I take a step back, bumping into Jungkook.

"Will you walk me to my next class?" he blantly asks. Who does this guy think he is? Tae and Jimin look at him with fierce eyes. I can't tell what Jungkook is doing because he's still behind me. I then feel Jungkook's arm around my waist. I know he makes eye contact with Jimin and Taehyung because they both nod their heads at the same time while looking behind me.

"We'll take you," Jimin innocently smiles. "She's still new," he points out before reaching for Kai's schedule. Kai snatches his paper back and shakes his head.

"It's fine, I'll find my way around," he scowls. He turns around and walks away. I scrunch my nose at all the girls that drool as he walks by them. That guy loves every bit of attention he gets.

"I don't like him," Jungkook says without letting me go.

"No shit, who actually does?" Tae scoffs. Jimin shakes his head and crosses his arms.

"Vivian you know you can call us if that guy gives you a hard time right?" Jimin speaks up.

"I know and I would but I don't have my phone," I sigh. The hyungs give me a knowing look. They know how irresponsible I am.

"Well, we're going to get going," Tae says as he pulls Jimin behind him. Jimin rolls his eyes but follows after him. I pull away from Jungkook and see he has an uneasy look on his face. I tilt my head a little. I wonder if he's worrying about me? Am I that important to him or is something else bothering him?

"Jungkook?" He makes eye contact with me. I shyly reach for his hand and intertwine our fingers. His eyes light up and he smiles at me. "Could you walk me to my next class?" I ask.

"I'd love too," he responds. As we walk, I tell him all about my morning problems. He laughs at my laundry situation and at my imitation of Kira. I like seeing him smile. He also has such a contagious laugh. I seriously like everything about him. I like that he apologized because it shows he cares. I also like that Taehyung and Jimin had his back just now. He didn't even have to say a word.

I really like Jungkook.
