A/n: I'm on a freaking high listening to Butter😃

~ I Just Wanna Be Happier, Am I Being Too Greedy?~

* JUNGKOOK'S POV *

"Aigoo! People are so horrible!", a guy in his 20's gushed as he filled my hot chocolate with marshmallows. 

"Um...", I tried to interrupt him, but he rambled on. 

I looked around the interior of the room. It was pretty simple and exquisite in it's own sense. 

"Hyung. You should stop adding marshmallows. That poor guy would probably go into a sugar high later.", one of the males in the room said. 

For being the most sought after guys in school, they seem to be pretty down-to-earth and humble. 

"Ya! You should've stopped me!", the guy from earlier blamed. 

"Hey! How is it my fault that you were busy ranting!?", the younger male retorted back. 

"Please shut up, you both.", a deep voice grumbled from the farthest corner of the room. 

Both of the parties fell silent and went about their own business. 

"Here. It'll help with the headache.", the older guy said with kindness gracing his features as he handed me my hot chocolate. 

"Thank you um...", I stammered not knowing his name. 

"Seokjin. You can call me Jin.", the male said with a soft smile. 

"Thanks a lot, Jin hyung. Honestly.", I said with utmost sincerity. 

"Any friend of Taehyung's is our friend.", he winked and left. 

Friend!? 

Were we even that!? 

"Jungkook, right?", the younger male who had been bantering with Jin hyung came and sat opposite to me. 

"Um...yes.", I said with apprehension. Not that I was afraid of him or anything. 

Just my introvert self kicking in. 

Not seen you in a while, buddy. 

Note the sarcasm. 

"I'm Hoseok. You can call me Hobi.", he said as he introduced himself and smiled a huge grin. 

"H-Hi.", I said as I focused my gaze on the marshmallows floating in my hot chocolate. 

"Well, you're really shy I guess?? Why don't you come join us? Get the others to know you a bit!?", he said as he tugged at my arm. 

Could he be any more extroverted at this point!?

"Uh...I'm fine, thanks. I'm not exactly the socialising kind. But I'm grateful for everyone's help.", I mumbled. 

"Well, the offer still stands. Feel free to come whenever you're up for it.", he said before standing up and walking over to the rest of the guys. 

I resumed drinking my hot chocolate, drowning in my own thoughts. 

No matter how good they were, they still were popular at college while I was literally dirt on the ground. 

It wasn't as if anything would magically change over the span of one night. 

I'd be me and they'd be them. 

Or at least, it'll be made sure by the entire population of Seoul International. 

The rest of the guys didn't bother to come up and speak to me. 

Not that I wanted it anyway. 

Tomorrow we'll be going back to our same old lives. 

And I'd be forgotten as always. 

So, what's the point in getting to know them knowing that they'd be walking out of my life tomorrow? 

Suddenly, my phone buzzed in my pocket indicating that I had a message. 

Inbox
2 messages from Soo-ah
10 messages from Noona

I opened Noona's ones first. 

Noona
Kook, you ok? 

Kook, you there? 

Answer the damn phone pabo! 

God Kook, please don't be mad at me! 

I'm sorry Kook! Just answer the phone already! 

Kook, please come back home! I'm worried sick! 

If you're mad with mom, she's not here anymore. She left already. 

Kook, be mad at me when you're back at home. But please pick up my damn calls! 

Kook, I'm going to kill you when you come back. 

For the love of God, Jeon Jungkook! This isn't funny anymore! 

Jungkook
I'm fine. I'll be back later. Don't worry.

Noona
Where the hell are you Kook!? Is everything fine!? Why weren't you answering my calls!? 

Jungkook
 I'll explain when I get back home. 
Seen

Turning my phone off, I rested my head against the wall. 

I didn't want to go back home just yet. 

I looked over at the couch from my current position. 

I saw Jin hyung and another guy with glasses arguing about something, but with a smile on their face. The grumpy guy at the corner was being disturbed by Hoseok hyung, who was not undaunted by the fact that the grim visaged guy was close to murdering him any second. The guy named Jimin was lying on Taehyung's lap while scrolling through his phone. My eyes travelled up to Taehyung's face, studying him. 

He looked the least attached to anyone present there. 

As if an invisible chain was stopping him from being able to communicate. 

From outside, he looked flawless, not a single crack in his walls. 

But inside, a storm could be seen through his eyes. 

Eyes as dull as the grey sky on a cloudy morning. 

He looked more dead than alive, in my opinion. 

Something was eating him up from within. I could sense it. 

But, who was I  to interfere in his life? 

"JK.", I suddenly heard a voice above me. 

I looked up to find Taehyung staring down at me in an intimidating fashion. 

"Um...what?", I asked.

"Scoot over.", he commanded coldly. 

He wanted to sit beside me!? 

Now, that was new...

"Um...ok?", I said, my reply sounding more like a question. I tried to hide my flaming cheeks as I pulled my hoodie down a bit lower. 

I scooted over to the side of the wall, as he took a seat beside me. 

Neither of us said anything, falling into a comfortable yet awkward silence. 

I peeked at him from the corner of my eye. 

He wore a vague, distant expression. As if he was not living in the present. Somewhere in the depths of his past. 

"I don't think I've introduced myself properly. I'm Kim Taehyung.", he said after a while, whilst looking at me. 

"Um...nice to meet you?", I said after a while, at a loss of words. 

"Hmm.", he replied and we fell quiet again. 

I guess he was not much of a talker. 

Well, neither was I. 

"Um...listen...why...why...were they after you? The guys, I mean?", he suddenly asked out of the blue. 

"I don't even know them, if that's what you're going at.", I said with mild irritation. 

"Ok. Like you don't look the type of guy to hang around at 5th District.", he said with a raised eyebrow. 

"Well, not a place I frequent. But I had some stuff going on, so I never noticed that I ended up here. Then, those drug addicts found me.", I explained, not knowing why I was giving one in the first place. 

"I see.", he said as he was lost in thought once more. 

"T-Thanks though. Without your major kung-fu skills, I would probably be lying dead in that alleyway.", I chuckled lightly, though my gratefulness was sincere. 

He looked at me and smiled slightly. 

"Anytime.", he said and stared at his hands, the ghost of his smile still on his lips. 

I blushed, my ears going red. 

He...he...smiled....

I think it was the first genuine smile of his that I had witnessed. 

"Oh! I nearly forgot. I came to give you this.", he said as he handed me an ice pack. 

"Um...thanks.", I said whilst taking the pack. 

"Uh...it'll be...uh...good...you know...for that cut on your cheek.", he said in a hurried tone while averting his eyes from my face. 

"That's really thoughtful of you.", I said with a smile. 

"It's nothing! And it was Jin hyung's advice!", he said hurriedly. 

"LIAR!", the guy named Jimin shouted from the couch. 

He scowled in his direction while Jimin just shrugged and went back to scrolling through his phone. 

I chuckled slightly and said,"Relax. I won't tell any of your fanbase. Wouldn't wanna ruin your bad boy reputation." 

Crap! It just came spilling out of my filterless mouth! I didn't even mean to do that!

He stared me for a split second before smirking. 

He cornered me against the wall and brought his lips close to my ear, that sent off warning bells in my mind.

"Well, wouldn't want that to be ruined as well.", he whispered before regaining his normal composure. 

My cheeks and ears both burned as I looked at the ground. My heart felt like jumping out of my chest. 

"Anyway, do you want a lift home? Or, you could crash here.", he suggested. 

"Um...it's better I head home.", I said as I stood up. 

"Ok then. See ya around the campus, JK.", he said as he walked over to Jimin. 

JK...

It's been a while someone gave me a nickname. 

A/n: Filler :) I guess y'all are damn tired by it lol...but I love Kookie's softness uwu

Random update abt my life lol (not that anyone's interested) -
