"Now, a covalent bond involves the sharing of-----"


You have no idea why, but you were pretty sure you were out of your mind when you decided to sign up for chemistry classes that took place early in the morning. Not to mention this was an AP class. Of course, this class was a breeze for you, but that doesn't mean you wanted to deal with it THIS early in the morning. You would MUCH rather prefer hearing your mom talking about plants and trees that sit even 10 minutes in this class.

".......Ms. Y/L/N, would you care to explain why this is so?"

You were so busy mentally cursing your past self for this torture, you didn't even notice that your chemistry teacher had asked the class a question. He must have noticed the frustrated spaced-out look on your face.

It also didn't help that you sat in the very front, making you one of the first people he would see.

You look at the drawing and terms on the board. The teacher helped you out and pointed to the question he was asking, which was dealing with the bond of water.

"Um," you began, "water is a hydrogen bond due to it being made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. It is also a covalent bond because the electrons are shared where the hydrogen atoms are bonded with the oxygen atom; however, it is a polar covalent bond because the electrons are unequally shared."

You swear you can feel your face turn a bright blush pink as you felt everyone's eyes on your entire backside. You heard someone whistle and whisper, "She is one smart babe" a few rows behind you. Even the teacher stares at you with wide eyes, because not only did you get it right, but you also didn't cover polar and nonpolar bonds. As a matter of fact, NO ONE in the class had heard of those terms until that moment.

Your teacher quickly snapped out of it and said, "Well, you are absolutely correct! That was also the next section we are going to cover!"

Please please PLEEEEAAAAASE don't teach that right now.

"However," your teacher continued, "due to the lack of time, I only have enough time to assign you partners for your upcoming project at the end of this lesson."

Crap. You forgot that you had a midterm project coming up. Which meant you had to interact. With another human. For 3 months. And present with them. There was no option to work alone, and the max limit of people was 3 per group. There were some who were absolute idiots and pains, and other who were actually quiet. Either way, you wanted no one but you and yourself. You secretly prayed that the teacher would at least have some decency in picking who you will work with and continued writing the new notes that the teacher wrote on the board.

~~~~~~~

With 3 minutes left of class, your teacher starts to call out the pairs for the project. In no time, your name is called.

"Okkkkk Y/N..." your teacher begins.

Uh oh.

Here we go.

"...your partner is..."

Please don't let it be a complete idiot please don't let it be a complete idiot please don't let it be a complete idiot

".......Hoseok. You will be paired with Hoseok for this project." And right on cue, you hear a soft "Yesssssssssssss" behind you.

Now, you know who he is. He actually isn't bad. Hoseok is a happy, bright, and cheerful boy..........too cheerful. That's where you have a problem. You have NO idea how he can be like that basically everyday. But you DO know that this chemistry class silences it for the length the class goes on.

Said boy goes down from where he was originally sitting to the empty seat right where you were.

You poor little lamb.

"Hi Y/N! I can't wait to start working on it with you!" Hoseok says in an excited whisper.

You turn your head to the quite hyper puppy. "Hehehe...uh....me too, Hoseok" you manage to get out while turning your head back to face the front, hoping he would stop.

Oh boy, were you ever wrong.

For the remainder of time, he went on and on about how you were so smart and how you answer that question right, etc. The more he went on, the more you wish you were invisible. You almost run out rejoicing when you finally hear the bell ring for you to head home for a few hours.

"Wait Y/N!" Hoseok says half running half speed walking after you, "Can I please get your number so we can get started as soon as possible?"

Oh no.

"Uh........yeah sure, why not" you spit out and rush to exchange numbers.

Hoseok then gives you a smile, and you could swear his smile started to shine. "Awesome! I'll see you later!" Hoseok says as he walks off.

Well.....this will be one interesting experience.

~~~~~~~

As you were walking down the hall about to enter the 'busy hall intersection', you hear light giggles behind and beside you. The further you walked, the more giggles you heard. It was almost like they were following you. Was there something on your clothes? Was there toilet paper attached behind you? Was there----

"Hey there beautiful." a male voice says behind you.

Ho. Ly. CRAP.

You want to keep walking forward and pretend you didn't hear, but there was a soft but firm hand on your shoulder to hold you back. You slowly pivot on your heels to face the velvety voice behind you. And who did you run into? None other than the school's famous and charming playboy.

Park Jimin.

Yup. You knew exactly who it was, and wanted to avoid him at all costs. You've seen him play leap frog hopping from girl to girl basically the whole time you have been at this school. This was the beginning of your senior year. For 4 years you have been here, and you've seen Jimin with a different girl every 3 months for all those years. You have also successfully avoided him during that time, and certainly didn't want to break that streak now.

"I said hi, beautiful" Jimin says, snapping you out of your daze. You didn't want to say anything, so you just gave him a polite nod.

"You were really smart back there in chemistry" he says like silk.

Wait.......how did he know that?

As if he could read your mind, he says, "I have buddies in there who tell me what goes on. Don't look so confused, babe."

Well, what a creep.

You clear your throat and find the voice to say, "I need to go now. I don't want to be here longer than I have to." The whole time you talk, you refuse to make eye contact, for you are afraid of falling into his trap. You look. You die.

"Aaawww why the rush?" the boy purrs and tries to get you to look at him. "Why don't I take you home, or walk with you if you walk home?"

Must not look into eyes must not look into eyes must not look into eyes

"I don't want anything to do with you" you say. Woah. Where the heck did you get THAT courage from? You can feel even he was surprised too by the way he stopped talking, but you didn't care. All you wanted was to leave.

To avoid any other interaction, you turn and walk at a fast pace towards the doors, not looking back. It wasn't until you were outside and around the corner you finally let out the breath you were holding. You slowly turn your back, hoping he didn't follow you out. Fortunately, he didn't.

As you were walking home, you couldn't help but wonder 2 things: why was he talking to YOU of all people, and why now?

You didn't know, but all you wanted to do was go home and get a bit more rest before going back to other classes. Hopefully that was the only time you would interact with him. Right?

(Jimin's POV)

He watched her speed walk out of the door. She looked so cute. Her long dark brown hair, her soft dark brown eyes, her fluster-blushed cheeks, her soft voice, the way her clothes hugged her form, basically everything. She didn't show it, but he could tell she was shy to face him. However, he was a bit taken aback by how she completely turned him down. This was the first time he was EVER rejected. It would be a lie to say that this didn't shock him.

"JIMINIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE" a voice said beside him, scaring him out of his daze on Y/N's backside.

"GOOD LORD TAEHYUNG YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK" he wheezed out as the red headed boy squeezes him in a hug.

"Ooooo, I saw what happened. That was baaaaaaaaaaad......heh heh heh" Taehyung teases.

Jimin scoffs, "Oh please, this was just one time this ha---"

"This was also your first time, Jiminie" Taehyung cuts in. " You know what that means."

Jimin pauses with wide eyes, ".....................I have no idea what that means. What does that mean?"

"It means------" Taehyung says "-----you ain't getting ANY tonight!!!" Taehyung says and busts out laughing.

This kid.

Jimin hits the younger boy's chest and runs his hand through his jet black hair. "You'll see. I'll have her like any other girl I've had here."

Taehyung looks at him with doubt. "I don't know about that. As I have said before, she is one smart babe."

"Pfft, she may be smart ACADEMICALLY, but I can find a way to get to her....or should I say.....INto her" Jimin says with a smirk.

"Oh yeah, Jimin?" Taehyung asks in a challenging tone.

"Heck yeah" Jimin assures, staring back at his younger friend.


"Alright then." Taehyung says slowly. "How about we make a little..........bet?"
