STRAWBERRIES & CIGARETTES [CHAPTER 11]

11| This is not a secret but not your business. So, shut your mouth.


Jungkook sighed, half-lidded, his mouth slightly opened. He was so bored that he would like to jump out the window of his room. It has been 3 days since his 'accident' and his parents are being so protective. He's been locked in his room for 3 days.






No, they didn't lock him but they didn't let him step out of the bed for one minute unless he wants to go to the washroom. Jungkook tsks, looking outside of the window. Shadow didn't go anywhere or there isn't any drama in their neighborhood to make Jungkook enjoy for some time.





"Jungkook!" The door slammed. Jungkook rolled his eyes, annoyance getting the best of him. "Are you okay? Did you get hurt? When did you get into an accident? You should have told me!!!" A loud and whiny voice thumps his brain, making his head pound with unbearable pain.







"Hyung will you stop being dramatic for once in your life?" Jungkook questioned, massaging his temple. "No!" He replied, looking through Jungkook's book collection.







"Eww, Jungkook you're such a nerd!" He voiced out, disgust lacing his voice as well as his face. "Don't disrespect my books okay? I will kill you, and by the way, I'm not a nerd, I'm a slut—just for books."






"You're such a weird kid."






"Yah! I'm not a kid!!! I read mature books." Jungkook mumbled the last part to himself.






"What did you say?" He asked, picking a book from the shelf.







Jungkook's eyes went huge. He shouldn't read that book. It's too dirty! He doesn't want his hyungs to know what he reads. No! They will tease him a lot! And his books will be gone!!!






"No! No! What should I do?" He gulped, fear running through his vessels? He will tell everyone and Jin will smack the hell out of him and tell his mom and dad. Even though he's a grown-up man he hasn't told anyone about this. Of course, it's embarrassing and he doesn't know if he's allowed to read that kind of book or not.






"Hobi Hyung, I like Jiwoo noona!" Hosoek whipped his head towards Jungkook. The book fell from his hands. Jungkook sighed in relief but what the hell had he just blurted out?





He froze at his spot, starting at Jungkook. Jungkook's heart thumped again his chest. Suddenly Hosoek almost flew towards Jungkook, startling him. He plopped beside him, squinting his eyes at him. "Do you really like her?" He questioned. A deep frown settled between his brows.





Jungkook hesitantly nodded. He stared at Jungkook for some minutes before sitting back, his face scrunched up in pure disgust. "You like her? Jungkook I thought you had a better taste." Jungkook froze at his spot. He didn't expect this reaction from him. He knew that Hosoek is like this but also with his sister?






Hoseok sighed in annoyance. "Tsk, How can you like her? Have you seen her fashion sense? She got no sense! I don't even know how you started liking her!" He walks around the room here and there, massaging his temples.





"Hyung, don't be like this with your sister at least. Love is—an emotion and you don't see how is the person's fashion sense or their face—you just fall in love. When we fall in love, we fall for their inner beauty, not for their appearance. Outer beauty is nothing. We can't love a person if he or she's a jerk but is beautiful. We will not even like him or her a bit. I know you're a fashion designer but this is–too much! You judge everyone by their fashion sense."






Hoseok sighed, laying beside Jungkook. He knows that it's wrong but he can't help it. People without good fashion styles nauseate
him.






"You know what? When I look at my sister, I just want to puke on her because of how disgusting she looks with her weird clothes. Jungkook I knew you were a nerd but you don't even get a taste in girls. You don't even have a job, you're such a pity. Poor you tsk tsk! I pity you!"








Jungkook rolls his eyes at Hoseok. "You're saying everyone is weird but you're the real weirdo here." Hoseok ignores him, looking outside of the window. His lips scrunched up in disdain when he saw a girl with all black baggy clothes.





"Look at the girl—Ewwww!! She's even worse than my sister!" Jungkook lazily rolled his neck towards the window only to get excited like a puppy who got to see his owner after a long time. His eyes lit up like a kid who just got his favorite ice cream. "Her fashion style is........yuck!!"





Jungkook ignored Hoseok's meaningless commentary on her. He squinted his eyes when he saw a boy with her. It was bizarre, he never saw anyone around her.






She was still wearing a cap, hiding her face. Today her style was a bit different–not that she was wearing any color. She was not wearing jeans or leather jackets. She was wearing an oversized hoodie with sweat pants. Today, Jungkook realized how clothing can change a person's vibe—she was looking so cute, a cute girl who would anyone love to protect.








"Are they fighting?" Jungkook thought starting at the scene in front of him.






She was looking frustrating and annoyed. Jungkook gasped when the boy forcefully decided to enter her house. "Wow! That boy got some balls man!" Hoseok said watching the scene in front of him. "Every man got balls Hyung," He said in a hassle, trying to take off his plaster.





"Wow—what the? You're—"






"Yeah, shut up and help me!"







"You idiot! We can't do this without the help of a doctor!" Hoseok told him, trying to comprehend what
the younger is trying to do.






"Shit! How am I supposed to run now?" Jungkook purses his lips, desperately trying to think of an idea. "You can't cuss!!" Jungkook tsks in annoyance. "Oh poop! What should I do now?" Hoseok smiled at Jungkook ruffling his hair? "That's better!" Jungkook slapped his hand away in annoyance.






"Now where are you going?"





"I'm going to help her!" Hoseok frowned starting at his disappearing figure. "Why is he helping her? Does he like her? But didn't he confess that he likes my sister?" He immediately went towards the window, peaking outside.







Jungkook quietly and carefully took his steps toward the door. He placed his hand on the doorknob but before going outside, he peeked behind him once again to confirm that his path was clear. He sighed in relief when he saw no one behind him.







Jungkook was having trouble walking. He went outside while limping. Jungkook raised his head to look at the scene in front of him. Her body language was telling that she was furious. Jungkook's eyes widen at the audacity of the boy, he just held her hand without her consent. She grits her teeth, trying to free herself from his clutch.





Jungkook ran towards her with as much speed as he could. He stands in front of him, hiding her behind him. "What the hell you're doing?" She utters, frowning at him.






Jungkook ignored her, shooting daggers at the boy in front of him. "What the hell you're doing man? First, you were trying to get inside her house, and then you're forcefully holding her hand?!"





The boy frowned at Jungkook. He shifts his attention towards her again, glaring at her. "Who is he?" Jungkook raised his brows in amusement. "Are you her ex? Wow! I can't believe it." She rolled her eyes at both of them. "Will you get aside?" She asked Jungkook, irritated by him. "No!"






"I asked who. Is. He?" The boy grits his teeth, stressing at each word, showing his frustration. She was standing there trying to remove the dirt from her nails. "This is not a secret but it's not your business. So shut your mouth and go away from here. I don't wanna see your face!" She gestured for him to shoo away.





Jungkook tried to hold back his laughter. The look on the boy's face was so satisfying. The hurt on his face was visible. He decided to leave from there but didn't forget to glare at Jungkook. Jungkook poked his tongue out, still standing in front of her 'protecting' her.





"Who was he?" Jungkook questioned as soon as the boy left. "Same reply that I gave him." A sad pout formed on Jungkook's lips. "I protected you! You should be my friend now." He whined, following her like a puppy. "You don't have to protect me. I can protect myself. You aren't the one who is protecting me from my birth."




"C'mon! Don't be like this!!"



"How did you come here? Didn't you have a 'sprain' in your knee?" Jungkook smiled nervously at her, trying to come up with an excuse.





"See? I didn't even care for my sprain and came here to help you but what do I get in return? Nothing. It's no use of showing kindness, people are so ungrateful nowadays." He spoke, his hand on his heart, wiping a fake tear. She scoffed, shaking her head in disbelief. He was lying on her face.






She turned around. Jungkook also stopped in his tracks, staring at her. "You want a reward? Let me reward you. Come with me." Jungkook's mouth fell on the floor. What? Did she just—did she just?






"What did you say?"




"Oh! I changed my mind, go to your ho—"




"–No! No! Let's go!" He hastily lets out, following her. The corner of her mouth quirks up. This boy is—weird.

Wow! Are we getting Her and Jungkook interaction?


We met J-hope!! But this J-hope is sassy.


Stay tuned for the next chapter!
