"Hey, what’s with that face Jungkook, you know you need to eat these nutritious things. And your wife is actually the one to asked me buy you fruits." He said and the darkness in Jungkook’s face disappeared the moment he heard it was an order from the wife. However, when he looked at the fruits, he could only avert his gaze and looked at jimin.

"Go pulverize them. Asked some scientist to turn them into pills." Jungkook said causing jimin’s mouth to hanged opened in disbelief.

"Hey, if you don’t want to eat them, just don’t. I’ll just tell her you hate fruits..."

Jimin didn’t even finished his words yet when Jungkook snatched the apple in jimin’s hand. Causing the man to fell speechless.

"I’ll eat it. Don’t do anything unnecessary." Jungkook said as he picked the knife and started peeling the apple clumsily.

Watching him, jimin could only sigh and reached out his hand towards him.

"Give it to me. Stop treating apples like that." Jimin said and Jungkook just glanced at him before he quietly continued, ignoring him, while jimin just sighed again and took another apple and a knife. He quickly peeled the apple like a pro in front of him and Jungkook’s eyes could only widened a bit.

"Here." Jimin said as he reached out the perfectly peeled apple towards him but the man didn’t accept it.

"Give me another one." He asked instead and when jimin didn’t move, Jungkook stood and started practicing how to peel the apple. Until time went by and Jungkook peeled a total of six apples when jimin finally burst.

"Oi... I brought these for you to eat, not for you to practice with. I’ll call your wife if..."

"I told you, don’t do anything unnecessary." Jungkook cut through jimin’s words again as he gulped and stared at the apple he just peeled. And like a little kid forced to have a bite with a certain extremely bitter medicine, Jungkook took a bite and eat the apple with an indescribably inexplicable expression.

XiZe University, Country J...

Kaide who was ordered by jimin never to leave lisa’s side no matter what was currently dubbed as XiZe’s extremely handsome tail. Well, it was because Kaide was literally stuck to lisa like he was her own shadow. They come to school together, they go to their class together, they eat together, and go back home together. The only time they’ll get separated was when lisa goes to the restroom and he waited for her outside as if he was her loyal knight.

Of course, their unusual glue-like togetherness has garnered a hot attention within the entire university. Lisa was the famous goddess scholar who topped the recent legendary entrance test and Kaide was the famous new university Adonis who dethroned the previous university’s number one heartthrob without him even knowing at all. And without their knowledge, the two already became the university’s new power couple and surprisingly, almost a third of the university’s population easily became their fans. They became too famous that some of the students started secretly taking a photo of them together and posted them into different social media platforms.

"Er... Kaide, what’s going on? Have you noticed that everyone was distancing themselves towards us? Something’s not right here... why nobody is talking to us? It’s already a week but it seems like they’re avoiding us or something? Even our classmates are acting unusual as though we are some intimidating gangsters." Lisa suddenly said while they were sitting on the uni’s café, causing Kaide to scratch his nape as he answered.

"Well, I think they thought we’re some lovey-dovey couple and they don’t want to disturb us, something like that."

"Eh...? Well... that makes sense. That’s why I’m telling you not to stick beside me too much, it’s okay if you can go and have some friends."

"I don’t need friends. Why? You don’t want me beside you?" Kaide replied and he began to act like a little puppy with teary eyes as he wags his invisible tail, causing lisa to immediately heaved a sigh of surrender. Well, she thought she shouldn’t be too tough with girls.

"I get it, I get it, okay? Don’t be sad. You can stick with me however you wanted." She then said as she patted his head as though she was consoling her sad female servant.

"Thank you Miss." Kaide just replied as he continued eating nonstop. It was because deep within Kaide, he’s been crying without fear for a long while now. When jimin told him to secretly act as her bodyguard, Kaide didn’t mind it. However, when he told him to stick beside her at all times, trouble has risen. Kaide was forced to tell her that he doesn’t want to have any friends at school because he was afraid they might found out that he’s gay. He even said that he’ll be fine even if she’s the only person he’ll hang out with the entire year, even begging her not to ever reveal his secret to anyone. Well, the strategy worked really well and lisa didn’t mind him sticking beside her. Not knowing that the real purpose of Kaide sticking with her like an inseparable glued accessory was to create an invisible wall around lisa so that venomous flies and pests wouldn’t dare to even attempt getting close to her. In short, he wasn’t just her 24/7 bodyguard, he was also her protective pesticide.

I can’t believe this... This is so embarrassing... I actually manage to perform the teary eyes strategy in the nick of time... Ahh... this is the toughest job I ever had my entire life...

"Miss... please don’t console me like that when we’re in public. They will notice that you’re not treating me as a man." Kaide whispered and lisa immediately stopped.

"Opps... sorry, sorry... this will not happen again." She said and Kaide could only force a smile. And thus, Kaide’s very own struggle continued.
