It was hard to stay still these days.

The pressure of the competitions are really heavy and are taking toll on many. Our grades have dropped, a sudden rise in the gym membership, some even dropped out of school because of the irritability of the participants.

The whole campus turned into a mere battlefield and the only place which is pleasant right now is the kindergarten block.

Ugh. Don't get me started about Michelle. She's been overreacting on everything. Every damn thing I do, she calls me out. Every fucking time I miss a problem in the accounts, she mocks me.

And I guess this is the right time Jungkook implements the power he has as a damn Prince.

"God, please help me get rid of this wench" I pray, looking at the lady figure walking briskly towards me.

"Hola best friend!" she gave me a pat on my shoulder. I was disgusted, and yanked away from her touch.

"What the fuck Michelle!? Didn't your parents teach you to keep your hands to yourself??" I seethed.

"Oh! Didn't your parents teach you to share??" she talked back. I had my blood boiling at her words. How dare she...

"You're such a whore...." Just like your mother.

I wanted to say it out so badly, but I knew I'll get myself in trouble. And by the way, I don't like to blame the parents of their children's actions. Though here, she's completely influenced by her mother.

"I call for a war" I mumbled under my breath, but that snake heard it.

"A war? For Jungkook? Cute. Get ready to lose, loser" She said. I rolled my eyes, not having any patience in me to talk back. Just when I wanted to cross her and walk away, an arm sneaked around my waist and pulled me back.

"Oh! My gosh Jungkook!"

"Hey beautiful" he greats me, kissing my forehead.

As I was looking around, I saw a paper in his hands.

"Well, what is this?" I pointed to the rolled up paper.

"Oh, this." he motioned the paper towards Michelle. She tried to feel up his hand, but he being the arrogant Prince he is, threw the paper on her face rudely. Thank god there were no teachers or staff members here.

"What's this?" she was curious herself. From my angle, I could read her name and a few unimportant words. But one phrase had me jump in air.

"...Has Been Rusticated Due To..." I read.

"WHAT!?" The snake screeches. I bit my lip and turned to a smirking Jungkook, and kissed him.

A few moments before

Jungkook POV

"May I come in, miss"

"Yes Jungkook?"

"I need a small favor from your side, miss"

"Ask away, your Highness"

"As the Prince of this kingdom, I have the rights to amend any law."

"Yes, Prince Jungkook. What do you need to amend?"

"Not amendments, Ms. Lee. I need a person out of the competition"

"What? Pardon. But I'm afraid I have no powers in doing that"

"And that is why, we have a guest."

She gasps on the arrival of the king.

"Your majesty!" she bows.

"Ms.Lee. I'm here to confirm the removal of a candidate who has severely misbehaved not only during the contesting hours, but also outside of the hours. Michelle Jones" father says directly.

And just like that, a notice was written by the principal, and the signature of the king on the paper.

Why haven't I done this before?

Back to present

Y/n POV

"Crazy bitch...." I said and kissed him again. People were going nuts. And I swear I saw the King and the Queen winking at us in approval. All of this feels like a fairytale, a dream to good to be true.

"I'm a crazy fucker for you honey" he says once we pull away. I blush like a typical girl and push him away, wanting to resume my classes. He goes to his room but walks me to my classroom first.

The day went on causally, without Michelle.

God was it peaceful.

A week has passed by with all of the candidates of Armor de'Cand preparing themselves for the first round.

The race.

From what I could read, the instructions were—

"Participants are required to finish a 300m run and get back inside the campus to complete the swimming course. The third and last part is to race with your fellow candidates....on a cycle." The MC explained the game. I blinked once, then twice, the multiple times.

Thank god Exquisite Belle isn't so strenuous...

Ready!

Set!

"You can do it baby"

Go!!

The loud gunshot boomed in the air and I sprung up from my seat almost instantaneously along with a few others.

"Jungkook! Jungkook! Jungkook!" cheers were made for the prime racer, who was on the lead. Goddamn, he runs like flash. A big grin is plastered on my face and I'm half a meter Hugh in air as my man effortlessly crosses the finish line.

"THAT'S MY MAN!!!!!!" I'm cheering like a mad woman.

My eyes trail after him as he runs inside, and then I'm switching my view towards the large screen showing the inner swimming pool.

The camera zooms in on the first player who had entered the Hall. I, having no habit of biting my nails, do it now anyway. Well, a large crowd 'ooOo'ing over your boyfriend made you feel typa way.

The Prince dives right in after putting on the swimming cap and goggles, and just then, the camera focuses on the second player entering—Yeonjun.

He's from my class, and he's quite an all rounder to say the least. He's smart, quick, goofy and almost perfect. But the Prince is 10 on 10, so...not to bother much.

Adrenaline pumped through my vessels when Yeonjun dived in later, at the time when Jungkook was finishing half of the round. On the other side was the cycling equipment, and Jungkook grabs them in at the perfect time.

"What the—" a miraculous event. Yeonjun is already climbing up the pool surface!

"Goddamn...." I mutter, feeling a little bitter that he just swam across the pool like a damn fish, but more likely, he was faster than my boyfriend. Now I was afraid.

I switch onto the next screen when Jungkook is seen hitting the road already. The road is circular, almost a kilometer around our large campus area on the outside.

From the various cameras installed, I make out that he switched gears, and is now racing with a heavy competitor behind him. It's about time they enter the campus back again and hit the finish line. But the real question is — who would?

200m

We watch as Yeonjun is just a few meters behind Jungkook.

100m

Both of them appear as if they're racing side by side....

30m

Fuck....

10m

"AND THE FIRST PLACE IS SECURED BY NONE OTHER THAN JEON JUNGKOOK!!"
