Two days had passed without you talking to Jungkook. Every time you would try to speak to him, he was never there! You wondered if he probably didn't like you. It reminded you of the first day. Perhaps when he talked to you, he just didn't like you? Maybe because you didn't contribute enough?

For now, you stretched out your limbs from being hunched over from taking a pop quiz. "I hate this subject." Nayeon said as she joined the area. "I couldn't remember most of it!"

"Same here." You said because honestly you couldn't remember most of the material either.

Jeongyeon and Chan were unimpressed with the two of you. "I'm disappointed." They both said at the same time. You only let out a groan as Nayeon frowned at them. Since it was finally a small break, you took the opportunity to fill up your water. You took your metal water bottle and headed out of the classroom. On your walk there, you thought back to the quiz. Yeah, you probably weren't passing it.

You made it to the filling station and did so. As you were walking back, you jumped in surprise from a thud hitting the ground. You looked behind to see nothing then looked down a side hallway to see a couple of guys looking down on someone familiar... wait... that's Jungkook!

"Look at him." One of the guys called out and placed one of his feet on Jungkook. "Always thinking you're better than us? Do you know how it feels to be treated like a bug?" He dug his foot into the poor boy.

Angrily, you stormed over there. How could they even bully Jungkook?! "Hey!" You shouted in your most intimidating voice. "Leave him alone."

His friend scoffed. "Or what? Is Jungkook's girlfriend going to beat us up?"

You glared at him. "How pathetic are you to bully someone else?"

His friend came closer to you, invading your personal bubble. "Want to join? I'll show you how I treat Jungkook." He shoved you on the shoulder.

And then you snapped. You swung your metal water bottle and hit him in the face. You didn't react fast enough when the guy who was originally stepping on Jungkook came at you. He harshly shoved you and you hit the wall. That hurt. As you got ready to either swing your water bottle again or kick him, someone beat you to it.

Jungkook had grabbed the guy by the collar and tugged him back. In a swift movement, Jungkook punched him in the face and you winced, hearing what sounded like his nose breaking.

That was a 180 in his attitude.

He stood there, slightly out of breath. Footsteps approached the area and you immediately went stiff. A woman rounded the corner, her eyes going wide at the scene before her. Then her eyes narrowed with her whole aura changing into something intimidating. "I want the four of you," The two guys were now barely getting up. "To my office right now."

Of course. With your luck, she was the principal. Might as well also mark this day as your first time to the principal's office for trouble.

"And that's it?" After you told your side of the story, the principal let out a sigh. "I'm disappointed in you two." She referred to the other guys. "I will not tolerate any bullying in my school. Punishment is to help clean the school grounds after school." Her eyes landed on you and Jungkook. "And for you two-" She paused momentarily.

Confused, you glanced at Jungkook but he was staring at her with a blank expression. "Go to the infirmary." After that, everyone got up and headed out the door, except for Jungkook.

"Jungkook," The principal began as the other students left. "You should have told me others were picking in you."

"I'm fine, mom." Jungkook didn't meet her gaze. In all honesty, he didn't care about himself until you stepped in. You truly did care for him. You were just so friendly and he couldn't believe the action himself when he attacked the other kid. You didn't deserve to be hurt like that.

"We'll talk about this when you're home." His mom finally said as she watched her son walk out of office. She had to admit, there was something in him that made him act out like this. Jungkook never showed displays of violence - only his passion for music. And that look he gave her when she tried to say something to you?

She didn't know what happened. Was it because of you? Were you a bad influence on her son?

As soon as Jungkook's back was on her, he rolled his eyes. Whatever. He walked out of the office to see you still there, leaning against the wall. Immediately, you perked up at the sight of him and honestly, his heart skipped a beat. "She didn't change her mind about giving you detention or something?" You joked.

"N-No." He wanted to punch himself in the face for stuttering. "Why are you waiting out here?"

You looked at him in disbelief or confusion; he wasn't sure. "Why wouldn't I? Besides, we need to check the cut on your cheek." You stated. "C'mon let's go to the infirmary." You started walking off in the wrong direction.

Jungkook grabbed your wrist. "It's this way." He jerked his head back.

"Oh really?" Now he could tell he saw confusion on your face. "I thought it was over there. I need to mesmerize the school." Then you started off again. Jungkook followed you like a lost puppy, still holding onto your wrist which you didn't seem to mind.

Like in every fanfic or drama possible, the nurse wasn't there. You frowned in disappointment while Jungkook stammered out, "G-Guess we should go back to our class."

"Nonsense!" You said and dragged him in there. "We just have to borrow a band-aid." Jungkook flushed slightly as you pulled him over to a chair and pushed him down. You actually touched him. He watched as you went over to the cabinet. You pulled out two items and returned back to him.

"Alright," You set down the bottle and box. Then, you picked out a cotton ball from the jar. "I think it's rubbing alcohol that I'm supposed to disinfect right?" You muttered to yourself. The boy in front of you froze. You trusted your gut and dabbed a bit of the rubbing alcohol onto the cotton ball. Once it met the injury, Jungkook hissed at the pain.

"It looks a little deep so I think it will heal." You said, carefully dabbing the cotton ball. Jungkook's eyes were now trained on your face and he blushed at the close proximity. He was holding his breath as he ingrained your face into his mind. You were pretty... but also too close to him! His face felt hot.

Then at last, you placed the bandage on him. "There!" You tossed away the used cotton ball and noticed a flush on Jungkook's face. "You okay? Your face looks a little hot..."

"I-I'm fine!" He suddenly said, "Let's go back to class!" And he stood up, rushing to the door. You watched him go and shrugged. Looks like he was still shy around you.
