Once the final bell rang, you gathered up your stuff and when you turned towards Jungkook's seat, he was gone. Uh... Did he just disappear? You took notice that his desk was completely empty - no backpack so he wasn't coming back. Well, there went your plan. Maybe tomorrow!

Oh well. You still went after school with your friends.

↭

It was around the late evening when you returned home. Your parents were happy about the friends you made and honestly didn't really care that you came home a bit late. As long as you got your homework done and came home at a reasonable time.

You had just finished taking a shower and were relaxing in your bed, scrolling through social media when there was a buzz. Your eyes looked at the message pop up before it slowly faded away. Scrolling through the notification bar, you tapped on the notification and saw that it took you to one of the other popular social media.

Curiously, you opened up the messages and tapped on the recent one. You were a bit confused but nonetheless smiled.

@ j_kookie:

Hello y/n!! I just wanted to say thank you for helping me with lyrics!

Ah, it was Jungkook!

@ your_name:

Hey, Jungkook! No problem even though I didn't do much...  you did a good job on the lyrics!! :)

It wasn't even a few seconds later when you saw the dots moving and another message popped through.

@ j_kookie:

Oh you helped me out a lot!!

@ your_name:

You give me too much credit :) 

@ j_kookie:

But you did help a lot :)

You frowned at that. Honestly, you only wrote like what? Two words? You don't understand unless he's just being friendly.

@ your_name:

Aha, thanks well, see you tomorrow!

You exited out of the conversation. You made sure your alarm was on for tomorrow morning and got out of bed to brush your teeth and say goodnight to your family. Even then, you didn't notice the new message that popped in.

↭

Jungkook eagerly waited to see the opaque mark turn invisible - to indicate you read the message. But it never showed up. He glanced at the time, noting that it was a bit late. You must have gone to bed already.

It was by coincidence that when he opened up the social media app and he wanted to thank you for the help on the project. First, he searched up your name and to his surprise, there were quite a few people with your name. He continued scrolling until he found one with your face as the profile picture. He tapped on it and was brought to your page.

He finally found you!

Next thing he did was tap the DM icon and now here he was. It took him a while to even start out. But he did and sent the first message. Not even minutes later, you responded! He wasn't sure why but his heart went into flutter.

He was a bit upset to know that you ended the conversation, so he had to send in one last message.

@ j_kookie:

Ok, good night! Sweet dreams!

And this is where it continued off. Jungkook exited out of the messages and was right back at your page. His curiosity got the best of him and he started going through it. You had quite a decent amount of followers; it made him reflect on his own fifty followers. He saw your most recent post - a photo of you and the group of people that you were near all smiling at the camera. Underneath, the caption read: "I was forced by Jeongyeon to take a picture 😤 @ jeonggyyeon

Curiously, he tapped on the comments to see what everyone was saying.

@ jeonggyyeon:

You say it like it was a threat

@ kang_bang:

Because it was

@ nay-nay:

Oof you exposed her 

@ eaj:

Omg i miss you :((

@ wonpill:

Lmao no you don't. Hope you're doing okay @ your_name :) 

Jungkook slightly narrowed his eyes at the comments. He sort of knew the first three - honestly he really couldn't remember their names but their profile pictures were of their faces. He easily picked up on the fact that they were in his class. The other two... he wasn't sure. Who were they? He wasn't sure why but it struck a chord within him.

After staring at the comments, he managed to get himself out of there and went back to scrolling through your profile. Most of the pictures you posted were of pretty sights, random objects, a few selfies and a couple of pictures of you with other people. Pretty average for a teen. He continued to scroll through it, studying each picture and then before he knew it, it was already the end. He had reached the end where you first made a post. Did he really get all the way to the beginning?

He blinked and glanced at the time. It was already half an hour after midnight. Jungkook frowned a bit, realizing he needed sleep. As he was about to exit out of the app, his eyes caught the follow button. Well, it couldn't hurt to tap on it, right? After all, you said you two were friends... and friends follow each other on social media, right? With the mental dilemma going on, he gathered the courage to tap the button. And the deed was done. The follow button was grayed out and ugh, he was so nervous! What if you didn't want to follow him? What if you thought he was weird? Too many what ifs! For now, he locked his phone and tried to get some sleep.

↭

You had woken up a little later than usual and your routine was thrown off. You quickly got ready, made sure you looked decent and managed to make toast. It was only a minute before the bell rang and you were out of breath.

Chan was unamused as he glanced your way. "Did you watch another drama?"

"N-No! I just didn't hear my alarm!" You defended yourself, trying to gather back your breath.

Chan laughed at your misery while you tried to give him your best intimidating glare. The homeroom teacher finally came in, making everyone quiet down. You got out your notebook and you stiffened up as you opened to the page you left off on. You blinked, glancing around the room and tried to see who was staring at you. Alas, you found no eyes on you. Was it because you came in a rush again? Sure, you might have looked like a mess but haven't they been late before? How judgmental!

You huffed, mentally sending whoever it was a middle-finger and went to work.

↭

You stuffed the delicious rice in your mouth. A single piece of toast wasn't enough power for you to go through. You had given up halfway in third period and zoned out. Lucky for you, the rest of the period wasn't exciting and fourth period was just note taking. And now it was lunch!

"I think I'm going to fight you after school." Jeongyeon stated as she stuffed some food into her mouth.

"But you forced me to!" You pouted, knowing she was talking about the picture you posted yesterday.

Jeongyeon hummed but shot a playful glare at Chan. "You too."

Chan was unamused. "I always tell the truth." He responded. Nayeon laughed, clearly enjoying the playful banter. Your phone vibrated and curiously you checked it to see it was the alarm. Oh. Apparently, you set the time wrong. Now you felt like an idiot. You turned off the alarm and your eyes caught sight of a notification of someone following you. Once you tapped on the profile, you found it was Jungkook!

You tapped the follow button and took a quick look at his profile. It mainly consisted of notebooks with words and an occasional picture of a video game. Looks like he didn't post much. You exited out of the app and returned to the conversation of who would win in a fight - Jeongyeon or Chan.
