Part 3: By you, and because of you

Start from the beginning
                                        

She gave him a look and he pulled away, "I'll see you later, babe."

He nodded his head at her, waving as he started to make his way down the second floor hall. "See you later, chinese takeout later?"

"That sounds amazing, love you!" She felt herself cringe on the inside, and she knew he was feeling the same exact way as well.

He faked a smile, "love you too."

She turned around to enter her first period class, the whole class falling silent the moment she took two steps in. All eyes were on her, and some of the looks were quite judgemental and intimidating.

Some of the girls were giving her dirty looks, and some of them looked like they were judging her. On the other hand, the only one who looked pretty interested and proud was Bora, the only girl with a bright face in the class. Seoyeon felt her head hang low just by thinking of what all the girls were thinking about her.. with Jungkook.

"Bestie, sit over here!" She looked up to see Bora waving her over to the desk sitting right beside her. "I got you an iced cappuccino and a slice of pizza!"

Seoyeon felt herself smile once again, the nervous feeling inside her gut beginning to fade away.

Maybe it wasn't that bad. She was beginning to get used to it.. she hopes.

"I didn't know you and Seoyeon ended up dating until yesterday."

Jungkook fist bumped Taehyung as he sat right next to him. As usual, he received the same dreamy looks the girls in his class would give him. In addition, he received the same treatment from the same group of girls who told him that first break ups would be bad, but eventually he would move on.

And maybe find another girl.. that wasn't Seoyeon.

"Did Bora not tell you that it's just a fake relationship?" Jungkook whispered to him, and Taehyung's eyes widened.

"Omo, really?!" He exclaimed, his tone of voice so loud that it caught everyone's attention.

Jungkook gulped nervously, hushing Taehyung down, "can you control yourself?"

"Mianhae.." He trailed off and Jungkook sighed. Jungkook leaned back in his chair that was attached to the desk, looking at the blank Tae who was staring off in the distance.

After a moment of silence, Taehyung looked at Jungkook again. He placed his hands onto Jungkook's desk, leaning closer towards him. Jungkook raised an eyebrow as he stared at the boy who looked like he had something in mind, but didn't know how to put it into words.

"So this is.. a fake relationship?" Taehyung asked and Jungkook nodded in reply. "So.. you guys aren't in love with each other?"

Jungkook nodded his head, "I'm not in love with her, she's not in love with me. It's a relationship where there are no strings attached."

"Wait.. why?" Taehyung looked oddly confused.

Jungkook chuckled, "for an alien, you're a slow one."

"But Seoyeon hates you to death, you know that right?" Taehyung reminded him and Jungkook burst out into laughter. "What's so funny?"

"I know that she hates me, but she has no choice but to help me out." Jungkook began, "she loves insulting me, and too much insults result to a punishment."

"The punishment being..?" Taehyung pleaded for him to continue.

"This fake relationship." Jungkook looked at Taehyung seriously and Taehyung finally got some sense into him, his eyes widening even more.
