9. You're on

      "Oh come on. Lighten up a bit."  He holds the ball out. I ignore his words and walk over to grab it from him, but instead I trip which ended up with my chest right against his. All you could hear was our heavy breathing in that moment.


  "Clara..."  He whispers softly as his hands were placed on the sides of me, feeling my bare skin as my top had risen.





~~Flashback~~


It's near the end of the week and I'm so done with Jeon Jungkook. I can't let myself fall for someone like him. He's just a horrible jerk. The atmosphere between the two of us thicken ever since Monday. It felt stronger than ever which wasn't a good thing. This was by far the worse it has ever gotten between us. There was a carnival being held on Friday. There always been one held every second semester. It was another event where Jungkook and I could compete in. I usually signup every year, but this time I wasn't feeling it, plus it looks really good on your part and could potentially benefit you. Maria still doesn't know that the reason I cried that day was because of the feelings I felt for Jungkook. The only she thinks that it was because I felt so overwhelmed and arguing with Jungkook was the last thing I wanted to do. I tried to make the lustful thoughts about him fade out, but it still stays there in the back of my mind.


  "Signing up this year?"  Leslie catches me off guard as she smiles widely.


   "Mmm.. why do you care." I flutter my eyes at her, copying her stupid smile. She rolls her eyes, still keeping her smile on.


   "If you don't then I get the spot with Jungkook and I'm sure he'd love that."


  "Well you know what Leslie.. today's your lucky day because I'm n-"


   "She's not going to let that happen because she already signed up for it."  Maria tosses her arm over my shoulder. I stare at her my eyes wide. She did not just... Leslie looks at us in disgust before walking off.


"You're welcome."  She says proudly. I hit her arm with an angry look.


   "How could you do that specify after I told you how I didn't want to do this." My face heats up as I tried to control the feeling inside. Maybe I was a bit happy on the inside that Maria did that, but I really didn't want to sign up either. She copies my expression before telling me to calm down.


   "Oh come on. I don't even know if Jungkook is signing up after what happened with you two and if he did then he really had the balls to-"


   "See you later tonight for the training."  Jungkook sternly says with a straight face on as he walks pass the two of us.


   "Huh.. he really just did that." Her eyebrows raised while looking over to me.  As he walked away I couldn't help but to watch him. He stops at the end to see Jimin and some of his other friends. They do this weird handshake before going in for one of those guy hugs. Jungkook shakes his hair before running his fingers through it. A big smile appears on face with his friends as they talk. God.. he was so.. forget everything I said about hating him.. I just want him.. I want to feel his body on top of m- NO. FUCK. I'm letting my emotions talk. Maria starts pulling me over towards them to say hi and I couldn't let myself go over after those thoughts! I wouldn't be able to conceal my blushing face.


  "No. No. No. No."  I shake my head harshly to the point where I began to get dizzy from it. She huffs at me, but I continue to deny until she manages to actually get me over there. I stood right beside Jungkook. I wanted to just scream at her.


  "Hey Clara.. Looking good today."  One of the guys from the group spoke while checking me out until Jungkook gives him a glare.


   "Hm.. Daniel.. thanks.." I uncomfortably say. I play with my hands until Maria finishes talking to Jimin. Jungkook and I both turned our backs away from each other. She finally says goodbye before pulling me away.


"Don't even fucking put me in that situation again."  I angrily say as she ignores me with a laugh.














  "Alright so Jungkook you're here and Clara.. you're right beside him."  Mr. Lee places us in our spots. We both signed up to do day shift so we'd get the night shift off. Jungkook and I were running the same games, but just two different stalls. It was because the game was very popular and could get busy quite fast. We had to keep score and see which booth got the most points from the players.


"So basically all you two have to do is explain the rules and once you start there will be a time limit. Which ever side gets the most points just tally it down and hand it in once your shifts are over. Just be careful because some kids and adults can get aggressive."  He laughs at his own comment. Jungkook and I flash a quick smile just so it wouldn't look odd if it was only out teacher. "Okay so here are the stuff. Please place them correctly and carefully. Once you're done you can try out the games yourself." He places a two boxes on top of the table for us before leaving.


We start unpacking and taking items out in silence. It was quite awkward because we were the only section there that wasn't talking. Everyone else who volunteered to help out were laughing and being loud while setting up, but nope not us. As I set up the area for those to aim I could hear a group of girls giggling as they come up to the stands.


   "Hey Jungkook.."  One of the girls wink at him while she chews her gum very obnoxiously. My back was faced towards them, but I rolled my eyes while letting out a quiet sigh.


   "Oh Soyoung. Hi."  He turns around with a slight smile. They all giggle quietly with each other before saying another word.


   "I was wondering if you like to hangout after you're finished?" Her tone of voice sounded like she was trying to be seductive, but not the good kind..


   "You know what.. I would love to, but I actually have plans afterwards with Jimin. Sorry Soyoung."  I look over my shoulder to see Jungkook continuing to set up as the girls just stand there.


   "Oh.. bummer.. perhaps another time?"  She happily says, but Jungkook then said we'll see which if I were to translate that it would be a no. I turn around once they're gone to grab some more of the items to put up.


   "You're not hanging out with Jimin afterwards."  I called him out on his lie. I could see him look over at me from the corner of my eyes. He sighs loudly as he grabs the targets.


   "Sometimes you just want to hangout with a specific person and if it's not them then it's not worth it. So little white lies won't hurt once a while."  He says calmly. Wow didn't expect him to actually answer me back and the fact that it was kind of a cute answer too.


"Plus Soyoung and I already hooked up so it wouldn't be that fun."  Oh never mind.. there's the Jungkook I know.. I roll my eyes obnoxiously at his words.











We finish up in an hour and ended up doing a test run to make sure it was possible to score. It was quite boring doing a test run. Did I really have to make sure it was working. All you do it throw this ball into a target. Nothing special besides getting a prize afterwards. For some odd reason we were actually getting along. I don't understand how it works, we go from enjoying each other to yelling at each other within seconds. I watch Jungkook trying to shoot from afar which was kind of fun seeing him all happy if he scored. As he runs back to the booth my smile fades. He gives me a weird look before coming back into the booth.


   "Oh come on. Lighten up a bit."  He holds the ball out. I ignore his words and walk over to grab it from him, but instead I trip which ended up with my chest right against his. In that moment all you could hear was our heavy breathing.



"Clara..."  He whispers softly as his hands were placed on the sides of me, feeling my bare skin as my top had risen. I could feel my soul leaving my body right there. My hands gripped around his arms squeezing it tightly for support. Not gonna lie.. it felt pretty nice. Before anything else starts happening I back away from him, fixing my hair while pulling down my shirt to cover my body. He quickly backs away fixing his hair before heading to the front of the booth, pretending to fix something.


   "I hope you two enjoyed that!"  Mr. Lee says coming back to check on us.


   "Enjoy what?!"  We both answer at the same time, still flustered from the moment.


   "Setting up the station of course.. what else could it have been?"  He lets out a low chuckle. Jungkook and I look at each other and started joining in with awkward laughs.


"I wonder which team is going to win tomorrow. You two are quite popular. I've talked to some people and they said they can't wait to come to your station."  He clasp his hands together with a huge smile.


   "Of course I'm going to win Mr. Lee. Clara can't beat me at this. I'm great at this." He smirks at me. Ouch alright I guess we're back to being competitors.


  "Jungkook.. don't lie to yourself. We obviously know my team is going to win Mr. Lee."  I flip my hair back as Jungkook scoffs at me. Mr. Lee just laughs through the whole conversation.


   "Alright see you kids tomorrow afternoon."


I look at Jungkook to see that he's getting ready to leave so I do the same. Just as I finish closing up my side Jungkook comes up to me.


  "My team is going to win. Be prepared to lose another event."


   "Alright. Mhm sure you're gonna win. If anything I think that over confidence might kill your chance tomorrow."  I cross my arms giving him a 'you wish' look.



  "Are you sure about that?"  His right eyebrow raises at me with a slight smile that turned into a light laugh.


" Hmm.. Let's say loser buys the winner some banana milk."  He had this cocky smile on afterwards.


   "Ha banana milk? Deal, but don't worry I'll bring some tissues."  My hands pretend to wipe away my fake tears.


   "Great idea. Tissues would be perfect for you."   He shouts at me as I begin to walk away.


   "Oh it's not for me. It's for you when I beat your ass in this game!"  I swing around, shouting back at him. "And I never lose Jungkook!"


   "Ohhhh. You're on Clara Law!"  His tongue goes to the side of his cheek with his eyebrows raised high. I laugh to myself as I leave him. Tonight wasn't as bad as I thought. Still competitive, but we actually kind of bonded. When I landed right against his chest I could feel my beat like crazy. The way his hands were softly placed on my skin sent shivers down my spine. In that moment I just wanted to place my lips on top of his, forgetting everything he's done, forgetting the rivalry between the two of us, forgetting the hatred I felt..
