A/n : Why is everyone so mean to me :"(  

P.S : SHIT'S GONNA GO DOWN :/

~ When Memories Take Your Time, You'll Find Me ~

* JUNGKOOK'S POV *

I walked through the hallways on Monday morning, not being able to keep the smile off my face. 

Perhaps I was finally getting to know Taehyung little by little. 

"Jungkook-ah!", I heard a voice scream my name, making me turn around. 

"Soo-ah!", I said as I grinned. 

"How are you today?", she asked as she looped her arm around mine. 

"I'm good. And you?", I asked as we walked over to our lockers. 

"Horrible. And who's good on a Monday morning anyway?", she said as she shrugged. 

I chuckled at her as we walked in silence. 

I still couldn't believe she and Taehyung dated. 

And they left on such bad terms...

"Soo-ah. Can I ask you something?", I said after much deliberation. 

"Sure, Kookie.", she said as she sucked on a lollipop. 

"What's going on between you and Taehyung?", I asked. 

"Nothing that you have to worry your pretty little head about.", she said cheerfully as she skipped ahead. 

"Soo-ah! Stop!", I said as I grabbed her wrist. 

She turned at the exact moment and crashed into my chest. 

"Kookie!", she said as she blushed furiously. 

My ears turned red as people started whispering, some even snapping pictures. 

"I-I'm sorry!", I said as I distanced myself from her. 

The last thing we both needed was a baseless rumour. 

She nodded and walked away, the original purpose of stopping her all forgotten. 

"Crap!", I hissed as I entered the World History class.  

As I sat down at my designated seat, I saw that there was still 10 minutes left for the class to begin. 

Taking out my journal, I decided to fill up the empty spaces. 

Dear Diary, 

I know that I am an irregular updater and that also I'm not getting much time to write due to juggling studies between my Chemo and spending time with Taehyung. Also, the fact that I have to at least work one day at the Diner is also eating me up from within. Or else, Sookyung's efforts will all become futile. And speaking of studies, I have to talk to Taehyung about our project as well. His grades mustn't suffer due to my illness. And I must convince Sookyung to talk it out with Taehyung. They were the two close people of my life, other than Noona. And I wonder what Taehyung's past was. Was it something as horrible as mine? Or worse? Or better? I must wait, I suppose. Being impatient won't help in this case. Hoseok hyung and the others probably know it all. They were close to one another. Although, Yoongi hyung seems more close to Taehyung. I think that they are all nice people, just not social enough. And that's perfectly fine. After all, Seoul International's population are only loyal to your purse. 

But, I must confess something to you. Something from the inner musings of my mind and heart. I think, I feel something for Taehyung. It's not natural. More than a brother or a friend. Not even close. But, I don't want to scare him away. He's kind and caring, and probably sees me as a friend. Nothing more. But he confuses me when he's teasing and poking fun at me. The easy smiles he gives and the little acts of thoughtfulness make my heart flutter. He's sarcastic and makes me mad, but also fond. This feeling...it's kept me awake for the entire weekend. I wonder if I should show a doctor. Will that help? I don't know what to do really...it's as if I'm at a dead end, with nowhere to go. I wish you were real :) 

Anyway, I have to return to the common world now. The mortal world is where I reside temporarily. Thanks again, for listening to me patiently as always. 

- Yours, Kook 

Kook's Wishlist - 

No. 15 - Taehyung and Sookyung should make up 

No. 16 - Attending the last session of the Winter Book Club 

"Ok class! Today I have an announcement to make!", the teacher, Mr. Kang, said as he entered the room and stood at the podium. 

I shut my journal and decided to give him my utmost attention. 

"Ms. Choi. Please enter.", he said as he turned his head towards the door. 

The entire class's head turned towards the door, waiting for the arrival of a certain Ms. Choi. 

But probably no one expected the entrance of Ms. Choi and Min Yoongi. 

Together. 

"Ah. Thank you Mr. Min. Please take your seat.", Mr. Kang said with a smile. 

Yoongi hyung looked angry as he walked off to the last bench and lowered his head on the table, pretending to be asleep. 

But the entire student population was too enamoured with Ms. Choi to even pay Yoongi hyung's disinterest the slightest of attention. 

The male population devoured her with their hungry animalistic gazes while the female population threw her jealous glances every now and then. 

"Please introduce yourself, Ms. Choi.", Mr. Kang urged, when the silence became too much to bear. 

"Hi. I'm Choi Elle. I'm a foreign exchange student from the States. Please take care of me.", she said as she bowed, giving the world a perfect view of her cleavage. 

I fixed my gaze on the table, cursing myself for sitting at my usual spot today. 

Not that I had an option anyway...

One of the boys from behind called out,"Of course, Elle-ssi! We'll do that!" and was followed by wolf whistles.

She rolled her eyes at him as she looked at Mr. Kang questioningly. 

"Shut up, Mr. Lee.", he said harshly. 

"Where am I supposed to sit, Mr. Kang?", she inquired, her Korean down to a T. 

"Um...You can sit beside Mr. Jeon temporarily. Later on, you'll be getting your assigned seat.", he said as he pointed to the very first bench. 

She flashed him a smile before walking over and sitting down beside me. 

"Hi. I'm Elle. And you are?", she introduced herself again albeit extending her hand towards me this time. 

I gulped slightly, my anxiety kicking in. 

I could feel the murderous gazes of the boys all zeroed on at the back of my head. 

My first day back was going more badly than I expected. 

"J-Jeon J-Jungkook.", I mumbled before rummaging through my bag, completely ignoring her offer for a handshake. 

It's better if there's no skin contact. 

Talking to her already put me high up on the stakes. 

"So, today we're starting with the French Revolution. Please open your books to Page 285.", Mr. Kang said as he began to fumble with the projector. 

"Can you share your book with me?", Elle asked from beside. 

I sighed. 

There goes my plan of ignoring her for the entire lesson. 

"Sure.", I said as I tried to smile, which probably came out as more of a grimace. 

- TIME SKIP TO RECESS - 

"Jungkook-ssi! Today's class was fun, right!?", the annoying female beside me chirped as she followed me out of the Home Economics class. 

"Yeah.", I answered before trying to pry myself away from her. 

"Jungkook-ssi. Can you help me find locker number 1131? I seem to have lost it.", she said as she frowned at the papers she was given from the office. 

My eyes widened upon hearing the number. 

No way...

I felt like banging my head against the wall...

I don't know why...

But it felt like the entire will of the world was to torment me...

"Yes, Elle-ssi. Follow me.", I said. 

"Here.", I said as I pointed at locker 1131. 

"Thank you, Jungkook-ssi! You're a lifesaver!", she said as she flashed me a genuine boxy smile. 

I blushed slightly as I rubbed the nape of my neck in embarrassment. 

"Um...Elle-ssi...actually about that...my locker's 1130.", I mumbled. 

She clapped her hands over her mouth as she said,"Daebak! That's amazing! Then, we can meet every morning!" 

I mentally cringed. 

"Uh...yeah...I guess.", I said as I entered the combination and swung open the locker door and arranged my books inside it. 

"Jungkook-ssi...can I ask for another favour?", she said as I was about to leave. 

I titled my head to the side and asked,"What?" 

"Can I sit with you at lunch?", she asked as she bit down on her bottom lip. 

My mind immediately went to the reactions of Taehyung and the rest of the guys. 

Best case scenario, they'd understand the problem and let it slide. 

Worst case scenario, they'd blow their head off. Especially Tae and Yoongi hyung. 

I grimaced slightly, which led to the drooping of her facial expressions. 

"I-It's fine. I probably shouldn't have asked!", she said nervously. 

"I-It's not about that!", I try to diffuse the situation but she gives me a knowing smile. 

"Your friends won't like it. And I shouldn't intrude anyway.", she said sadly. 

"N-No! It's fine! You can sit! They'll understand!", I said, praying that they truly would. 

I knew how it felt like...

To be alone...

Her face lit up at that as she smiled and said,"Just for today." 

"Yeah...just for today.", I echoed. 

As we made our way to the cafeteria, I crossed my fingers hoping that my luck wouldn't backfire. 

Was I...

Pushing my luck too much...

Taehyung...

I wonder...

How you'd react...

I hope you understand...

A/n : Cliffhanger y'all :) And I wonder how Tae will react too hehe :D 

P.S : Sorry for the most horrible chapter in my life T-T But my mind has been literally blank...but there's a reason why I brought Elle :)

- Logging off for now...
