"Ow!"

"Shh! Jimin, you're going to get us caught you dumbass!" Yoongi nudged Jimin's side as they both ducked under a desk, hiding from the guard that passed by.

"I really don't like this." Jimin said in a low whisper while sneaking around the coach's office, looking for the gym storage room key.

"Shut up and just find the key, you wuss." Yoongi spat at the younger one as he ducked again under the window sill to avoid the flashlight.

"Why do we need to lock Vee and Jungkook together?" Taehyung asked while acting as the look out, standing with his back against the door, barely breathing. "This will just get us in trouble, hyung."

Yoongi sighed and stopped himself from cursing out loud, "Just watch out for us, Taehyung. It's too late to back out now that we're here."

"Are you okay?" Syd asked out of concern when she caught up with me in the hallway. She supported me with her hand on my arms. "I thought you were going to faint when I saw you walking like you have no bones in your legs. What's up?"

"I'm fine." I said as I scrunch my face. "Just a terrible headache. I bet I look like shit right now."

Syd made a face as she examined mine. I could tell that she's about to lie so I told her not to say anything. The truth really hurts. "Maybe you should go home, Vee."

"Nah. It's just a headache. It might go away soon." I replied as she walked me to my classroom. "I don't want to go home and deal with Dad. I'm sure he'll go overboard again."

"Yeah. He does go overboard sometimes." Syd laughed and I gave her a look, "Okay, maybe all of the time, but it's because he loves you."

"I know that." I sighed, my sinus all blocked up. I feel like someone is blowing air into my head. "I just don't like him worrying over small things like this. I can handle things like this."

"But you have to at least let him know." Syd suggested. I know she's right. If anything happens to me, my Dad will definitely lose his mind.

"I will let him know. Maybe later. It's not that serious." I send her a small smile.

"You sure?" Sydney asked again as we halted in front of my classroom. I gave her a nod and a smile. "Okay.. just eat something and take some medication."

"Yes. Go already." I groaned and playfully pushed her away so she can go about her day. I watched her walking away.

I went inside the classroom and sat on my chair. I found Jungkook already sitting behind me, sleeping on his desk. He has been sleeping for half of the day. Not that I care or anything. He can do whatever he wants. It's his life. He knows what he's doing.

My stomach grumbled and I feel a bit of stinging in my gut. Now I regret not eating anything but everything just smells funny to me. I didn't have an appetite all morning.

I leaned forward and placed my head on my arms, mimicking Jungkook. I closed my eyes and tried to distract myself from my headache and my growling stomach when, all of a sudden, some of the girls started a commotion. I didn't move a finger, thinking that maybe their crushes passed by and winked at them or something. Cringey. I would never fall for that. Unless, it's..

"Hey, Vee."

I lifted my head up upon the recognition of his voice. He was smiling at me and I'm just there, wondering what he's doing there being cute. I mean, standing there. "Hoseok, what are you doing here?"

"Heard from Sydney that you're not feeling well so I got you something." Hoseok gave me a  sandwich and two tablets. "I went to get your medication from the infirmary. Make sure you eat before you take them."

"Uh, thank you." I said as I received it from him. "That's so thoughtful of you."

"I just want you to feel better." Hoseok grinned at me. He stayed and sat down on the empty chair in front of me. We talked for awhile while I ate the sandwich. "That's your favorite, right?"

"I knew it's too good to be a coincidence." I replied, smiling back at him. "But how did you know?"

"How else?" He raised his brows and smiled when I came to realize what he meant.

"Of course." I beamed at him and we held eye contact for awhile until Jungkook woke up.

"Hyung, what are you doing here?" He asks, eyeing the two of us.

"I was passing by and remembered Vee wasn't feeling well." Hoseok said as he stood up and prepared to make his way out. "Anyway, see you two later. Hope you feel better soon, Vee."

I was quietly eating the sandwich after Hoseok left. Jungkook wasn't talking too but I could feel that strange sensation of someone watching you and it's true that it's very hard to ignore. I heard his chair making that eery scratching sound against the floor and soon he walked passed me. Nobody minded him since he didn't look like he's in the mood for greetings. Hands inside his pockets, he stepped out of the classroom. Sometimes, I really want to tell him to suck it up because the world will not bend for him.

"Jimin was right. He's really a psychopath." I shook my head.

Why am I even trying to understand him? I can't even tell what's going on in his mind. I just laughed it off and took out my water bottle from my bag but realized it was empty. I checked the time, not much time but I can still make a quick run to get a refill.

I stood up and took my bottle with me when I came face to face with Jungkook. He was blocking my way. I met his gaze, "Can you let me pass?"

Jungkook glanced at the bottle in my hand and then up at my face. He placed the juice box that he was holding on top of my desk. "Here. Sit down. The teacher will arrive soon."

"Um, thanks." I told him, holding onto the juice box. Jungkook casually walked past me and sat back down in his place. I did the same and took the medicine. I turned to look behind me but he's already back to his sleeping position earlier.

I guess he's not a total psycho. As much as I hate taking back my words, would be unfair. I only realized that I was smiling while staring at his sleeping figure when the teacher came in and Jungkook moved as he straightened up.

JM:
I lost the bracelet that Syd gave me. Need help finding it. Come to the gym storage room. Please please please.It's important.

My brows are furrowed as I read Jimin's text. It's unusual for him because he's not usually careless with his things. If it was Namjoon or Hoseok, maybe, but if Jimin need help.

Be there in a bit.

I replied and made a turn back to the school. It's good that I just pass through the gates. I took a shortcut, cutting through the field instead of going in the school building. The sky was a golden orange as I was passing through the field. At the far end, I make out Jimin waving at me.

"Thank God, you came, I can't find it. I've been looking for it for the past three hours." Jimin started and I could tell from the start that he's behaving unnaturally but I still decided to help him.

We went inside the storage room because he said he remembered that he went in here in the morning when the coach asked him to get something. "You sure you went in here?"

I was looking under a shelf, thinking that he might have dropped it around here then it got kicked somewhere. Jimin is very quiet. Actually, it's like I'm alone. I stood up and dusted my clothes, "Jimin? You still there?"

I hear footsteps approaching. Not Jimin's. This one sounds heavier? Jimin's footsteps are lighter. Although I'm standing behind a shelf that housed all sorts of assortment, my vision is not completely blocked. I could still see the entrance and the golden sunlight that passes through the small aperture between the door. A silhouette entered unknowingly. He walked a few steps inside until he stopped. We both froze as the door was shut closed.

"Fuck, I knew it." I heard him mutter to himself. He ran towards the door and sent his fist against it, "Jimin what the fuck!"

"Sorry." Was all Jimin said from the other side. "I don't want this too but I'm literally in the brink of death right now."

"You're not making sense." Jungkook growled. "Open the damn door now or else you will be dead the moment I get out."

"I'm sorry, Vee. Yoongi's orders." Jimin ignored Jungkook's threat and started to talk to me, which caused Jungkook to look confused as he turned around to check if I was really locked inside with him. "Don't worry. You're not spending the night here. You just have to kiss each other and we'll let you out."

"Kiss each other?! Jimin, you are so dead!!" I shouted back as I head towards the door. Jungkook suddenly created some distance between us. "What the fuck were you thinking? What do you mean just kiss each other?"

"Oh you know, lips to lips action. Well, for starters.. but it's totally up to you if you want some groping or whatever kinky shit you're into." Yoongi replied this time and oh, he is making me angry. "Come on, let's be productive people!!"

"Just let your fiery emotions unravel naturally in each other's embrace." Yoongi added dramatically. "Or else your friend, Jimin, will die."

"What?" Jimin asked and they started to bicker.

Yoongi groaned frustatedly, "Ugh Jimin shut up. Play dead or something. Don't ruin their moment."
