•Morning Of Upperclassmen trip•
-Friday-

I wake up feeling amazing, I don't know if it's because I get to see Jennie all weekend.. no, it's basically that. I'm so happy that I get to see her for three days. "Taehyung, get up, it's your trip today." I hear my mother, followed by talk of business. I get up and stretch my arms and legs. I walk out of my room and down the hall, to the kitchen. "Good morning Eomma." I greet.

"Hi baby, please eat your breakfast quickly. I have a very important meeting, make sure to say bye to your father." She says, covering her phone with her hand to talk to me. I quickly walk into my fathers room and I walk up to the side of his bed. "Good morning Appa." I say, though he's asleep. I bend over and kiss his head, "I know you'll get better soon." I whisper, then I walk out of the room.

I scurry into my room and get my duffle bag and my sleeping bag. I walk out to the hall again and I drop my bags next to the front door. I quickly run to the bathroom to freshen up, and pack my best cologne, my toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste, mouth wash, face wash, some shower essentials, my own bath cloth, towel, beach towel, and a comb. I stuff all of these items in a backpack for easy access in the morning.

"Taehyung! What did I say!?" I hear my mother. I head back to my room and grab my pillow and a blanket, I run back down the hall and toss my things on my bags and run back to my room, I quickly change out of my pajamas, making sure I look presentable for my girl. Putting some earrings in my piercing holes. I quickly run into the kitchen and grab a bread, stuffing it in my mouth and running over to my things and I pull on all my bags.

I look at my mother with my bread in my mouth, "When your father was awake he said for me to give you these." She shows me about three condoms, my eyes widen. Of course I can't say anything because the bread is in my mouth, but the again.. I don't think I would. "I'm sure you won't need them, but I don't need to hear months later that your little girlfriend is prego." She stuffs them in my front pocket. She opens the door and I walk out, she closes the door behind us.

Well, I'm going to be earlier than everyone else.. it's 6:30 am and other students are supposed to get at the school around 7:30.

"Jennie, kitty baby. Wake up, my little sunshine bundle of beauty." I force my eyes open. "It's your triiiiiip daaaaaay." She sings, making me groan and turn over on my side. "I made breakfast and packed you snacks and packed you new bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash and everything else." I sit up and she kisses my head. "Take a shower, after breakfast." I nod and get up.

"Oh!!! I'm so excited! It's like I'm going on my upperclassmen trip." I chuckle and shake my head. "Okay, I'll meet you down stairs after I use the bathroom." Tell her. She nods, "Okay baby." She kisses my face and heads down stairs. I walk over to the bathroom and freshen up, before heading down stairs, "Oh Jennie! Look whose here, aren't you happy?" My mother says.

"TAEHYUNG!?" I squeal covering my face, I look so ugly right now. "I hope you don't mind, my mother was going to drop me off at the school at this hour." He smiles at me. "Oh, of course we don't mind." My mother answers for us, she looks at me. "Jennie, come down here right now." She demands. I slowly walk down the stairs and he hasn't taken his eyes off of me. "I'll make you a plate of food Taehyung, did you eat breakfast?" My mother asks.

"A bread." He answers. My mother begins to laugh hysterically. "That's not breakfast." She says walking into the kitchen and we're left alone. "I like this look, it's cute." He says, walking over to me as he looks down at my donut patterned pajama pants, a baggy pink shirt and my bear paw slippers. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" I whine, pulling my unkept hair into a bun. "I thought it would be a good surprise." He smiles.

I grin, "It was.. to be honest." I shrug. He looks hotter than usual today, is he wearing earrings? Oh my gosh, it looks so sexy. He smiles and wraps his arms around me, oh my gosh!! How can I forget to wear a bra? I never wear a bra to bed, I wonder if he feels my little boobs. Should I even care? I press myself against him more, he raises an eyebrow. He feels them for sure.

I set my hands on his chest and push him away as I hear my mother exiting the kitchen. "Here you go you two, eat up! Then you need to go take a shower Jennie." My mother tells me. I smack my forehead as I sit down at the table, I hear Taehyung chuckle. "Cause baby, you stin-","Yes Eomma, there's nothing to worry about. I'll take a shower right after I eat." I say quickly, what daughter wants their mother to announce to the world that you stink? No one.

I eat quickly, I don't want Taehyung to continue seeing me like this. "Jennie, you're done with your breakfast already?" My mother asks. "I'm going to take a shower now, bye." I say getting up and running upstairs. I grab the cute outfit I had laid out for today. I make sure I smell like a fruit salad exploded on my body. I worked quick but I made sure not to miss a spot, shoot.. I even cleaned in between my toes.

When I was done with my shower I stay in my towel and start to blow dry my hair. I then dress into my clothes and grab any last things I need for the trip, I head down stairs and place them with my other bags in the living room. "Hey beautiful." I hear behind me, I blush and turn around. "I'm more presentable now." I smile. "Nah, I liked you in your pajamas." He walking up to me. "Hey, I got cute for you." I pout.

"Yes, you look real cute.. but I like seeing you in your natural habitat." I laugh. "You're just the cutest as can be." He whispers when he's right in front of me. I smile and slightly look up at him. "What's this?" He asks. Oh gosh, my plushie. "Umm.." I don't finish. "A unicorn stuffed animal?" He asks, "I uh.." I still can't even finish, I'm lost at words.

"I sleep with this lion plushy that my mother got me when I was five, I only sleep with it when I'm at my house." I smile, "Really? That's cute." I say grabbing his hands and intertwining our fingers. "No, when girls do it, it's cute. When guys do it, it makes us look like girls." He says, I frown and shake my head. "I like it." I confess to him, "Really?" He asks. I nod my head quickly. He grins and leans forward, pressing his lips against mine.

I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair. I smile wide when he runs one of his hands up my back. "Jennie, Taehyung, are you two ready to leave??" My mother announces from her room down the hall. He slowly pulls away, "Yes!!" I yell. He just continues to stare at me. I tilt my head. "What?" I ask in a whisper. He shrugs and rubs the tips of his fingers up and down my back.

I just grin at him, "Look what my mother gave me this morning." He whispers, stepping back and showing me his pocket. My jaw drops to the sight of what's in between his fingers. "Why'd she give you that? Does she really think that we'll..." I raise my eyebrows. He shrugs, "I guess, my father was the one who came up with the idea." He says.

"I heard back in the day, that's where everyone lost their virginity's and many girls got pregnant. Maybe that's why you mother gave it to you." I tell him. "Yeah, That has to be it. I thought it was kind of strange that she gave them to be because I don't plan on doing anything like that any time soon." I nod in agreement. "Jennie, come here real quick." My mother calls me from her room. I kiss Taehyungon his cheek before heading to her room.

"Baaaaaby, I know you probably aren't even thinking about this.. but I thought. Since you're my daughter Ivan give you things like this, especially at this age." She pulls her hand out from her pocket and I stare at the object in her hand in disbelief. "You know, your father and I conceived you at our upperclassmen trip, I want you to feel safe if it comes to that. Okay?" She hands them to me. "Oh gosh.." I whisper. She smiles like nothing is wrong with her handing me condoms, she kisses my head and leaves the room.

"Okay, let's go kiddos. Get your bags and let's roll out." I grab my things, Taehyung grabs his own and we head out of the house.

My eyes slowly open to the smell of breakfast, I lick my lips and sit up in bed. I rub my eyes and yawn. I look at the clock, 7:00. I grab clothes and head to the bathroom for a quick shower. I feel more woken up, I'm alert and ready for the two to three hour drive to the destination of the trip.

I add any other supplies that I know I'll need, into my duffle bag. I grab a pillow and my blanket and head down stairs. "Eomma, Good morning." I announce. "Oh, Kookie!! Good morning my love, I'm sorry I didn't wake you up. I was making breakfast for you and Lalisa." I smile while holding all my things. "It's fine Eomma, I still got up." She's making all sorts of things. She's made huge breakfast burritos and hot cocoa.

"Do you know if she's ready?" My mother asks me. I pull out my phone and text her. I then jump when I realize that I've forgotten to grab my guitar. When I head back to the kitchen my mother already has everything packed. "You have all your things?" She asks. I nod, knowing very well that I have everything. I even go off a check list in my head, nodding when I know I have everything. "Okay, I'll hold this, let's go baby." She says pulling the door open for me. We walk out and head to the car to pick up Lalisa.

I hear my alarm go off and I get up out of my bed to turn it off. I stretch and walk over to my bed, fixing it. I take my pillow and a blanket. I change out of my clothes into something more pleasant to look at. I also grab my backpack I filled with snacks for the road and when ever. In all attempts to work fast, I succeed. Making sure I didn't need anything else from my room before heading to the bathroom to pick up any last minute things and I also freshen up.

I walk down the hall to my fathers room and drop my bag in the hallway next to the door. "You leaving?" He asks. I nod, walking up to him. "Okay.." He says sadly. "I'll be back Sunday." I reassured him. "Be safe.." He says when I'm next to him. I grin, "I will." I kiss his head, "I love you my little mouse.", "I love you too, dad." I tell him before walking back to the door. "Your friend is coming for you?" He asks. "Yes." I answer, picking up my things.

"Okay, behave. No boys." I laugh. "You definitely don't have to worry about that." I say. "Mmmhmm." He hums sarcastically. "Bye." I say, and he just waves. I run into my room and grab my phone and it's charging. My phone rings and it's a text from Jungkook.

-
Jungkook🐰: We're coming for you. :)

Okay, I'm ready.: Me

-

I text him back and I head out of the door, using my spare key to lock the house. When I'm outside their car pulls up to my house. I see his mother wave at me and I wave back, Jungkook just greets me with a smile and I give him one too. When I enter the car his mother turns and hands me a paper bag. "I made you breakfast." She says with the biggest smile on her face.

"Oh, thank you Ms. Jeon." I bow my head to her, "Awe Lalisa, you're so adorable." She smiles wide. Surprisingly, Jungkook stays quiet and just looks out the window. It didn't take long to get to the school, when the car pulls up to the parking lot where students are starting to be loaded onto the bus, I instantly see Jennie and Taehyung. She sees the car, because obviously she knows Jungkooks moms car.

I try to duck but she's obviously seen me, a growl is easily recognized on her lips. We all get out of the car and his mother helps him carry his stuff to the bus where we are already getting a lot of stares. I just look down at we head to the bus, "Don't let anyone get to you." Jungkook finally talks to me, the first thing he's said to me since I've seen him.

The bus driver takes our things except for the breakfast Jungkook's mother made for us and Jungkook's guitar. Which I'm very excited to hear him play. "Bye Eomma." Jungkook tells his mother. She pulls him into a hug and kisses his face, his cheeks grow pink from embarrassment. She then pulls me into the hug and I'm pressed up against Jungkook, now my face is pink. She finally let's us go. "Make sure to stay safe and listen to your teachers okay?" She says.

"Okay, Ms. Jeon." I say, "Oh no no, call me auntie." She insists. "Auntie!" I instantly stiffen to the voice. "Oh! Hi Kitty Jennie." I keep my head down, they exchange words before all students are asked to load onto the several buses by classes. Jungkook looks disappointed to see that Jennie won't be on our bus. I grip the paper bag in my hand, tightly.

"So you brought your guitar I see." I tell him, he looks down at me as we wait in line to enter the bus. "Yeah, I almost forgot it actually." He confesses. "So you'll be showing me your singing skills." I wiggle my eyebrows. He smiles. "Cause you'll sing with me." He reminds me, dang it. "No." I say. "What do you mean no? You mean yes." He pokes my side making me laugh.

"So the rumors are true!" We hear behind us making us turn. "You two are together." It's a group of girls and they're looking at us with huge smiles on their faces. I'm about to object when Jungkook speaks up, which I'm surprised. "They're called rumors for a reason, Lalisa is my best friend and I care for her like anyone would a best friend." He says before turning around and heading into the bus. I stare at the spot he was once in. He got really offensive, it's clear he has absolutely no feelings for me.

"Does he know?" One of the girls asks me, I look at her. "Does he know what?" I ask. "That you're in love with him." These girls don't know what they're talking about. "I'm not-", "Come on now, we can't be late." The bus driver says and I'm rushed into the bus. I walk down the aisle and take my seat next to Jungkook. "Were those girls bothering you?" He asks. I just shrug, I don't know why I feel so confused.

**

It's very quiet for a while, I start to wonder if she's thinking about what those girls said. I set my guitar in between my legs and open my paper bag of breakfast my mother prepared. "You should eat, you must be hungry." I cut through the silence. She just nods and opens her bag. I stare at her for a while, trying to figure her out.

I must be really blind to not clearly see what's wrong with my best friend, because there's clearly something bothering her. My lips part to say something but, I don't. I look away from her and look at my burrito. Before I bite my burrito I find the courage to ask. "What's wrong? I know something is wrong." I tell her.

"I'm just a little sad that my dad is home alone." She tells me, lie. I just slowly nod, "Anything else?" I ask. She shakes her head. "After those girls said-", "Don't even worry about it Jungkook." She cuts me off. Now I know for sure something is wrong. "Lalisa." I say sternly. "Jungkook, just drop it. There's somethings you get to know about me and somethings you don't."

I've clearly crossed a line. "I-I'm Sorry.." I apologize. She doesn't respond, except just begin to eat the breakfast my mother made us. My mind has become a huge question mark once again. I'm really not sure how exactly to deal with this feeling, why is it that when ever something has to do with Lalisa, my brain asks nothing but questions?

Also, all of this commotion has gotten me to forget about Jennie. Why does Lalisa have this effect on me? It seems that when she's not around I begin to worry about her, and wonder where she's at and if she's okay. Not a thought of Jennie would survive in my brain when it has to do with Lalisa.... do I like her?

------------------

I apologize for the huge delay, I've been caught up in school and I'm currently trying to learn the Ukulele so that's taking up a lot of my time. Hope you're enjoying his book so far. I will be triple updating Reflection hopefully before next Wednesday and also double updating Lethal. I can't promise but I hope I will be getting back on track with my scheduled updates.

Love you all,
