No Strings Attached (Jungkook x OC)

Part 3: By you, and because of you

Taehyung looked really worried, his eyebrows furrowing, "you do know what you're getting yourself into, right?"

"I do, but the thing is, she hates me and I hate her." Jungkook fiddled with his fingers, trying to get his point across. "There's just no way that I could fall in love with her, and vice versa. I'm only doing this to get Haeun back."

Taehyung shrugged his shoulders, "alright, but if something happens.. it's all you."

"I know." He smiled and opened the first few pages of his math textbook.

Taehyung leaned in one more time, whispering, "but is the fake relationship working?"

One Month Later...

"Yah, I explained it thoroughly.. and you still don't understand it?!"

Jungkook scratched the nape of his neck, chuckling nervously as he shook his head in reply. It's been almost a month since Seoyeon got into the depths of math, tutoring Jungkook as much as she can just to keep himself up with his average grades.

Although, because of Haeun, he was slowly failing.

"It's hard, I just.. I don't get it." Jungkook sighed frustratingly and Seoyeon was starting to feel guilty for yelling at him.

"Hey, sorry." She began, before sitting next to him around the dining table. "Sometimes, math sucks, and sometimes.. you just don't get it. Equations can be fucking hard, I know. But I don't want you failing this class."

Jungkook turned his head to the right, completely stopping himself because it was a bad idea. The two of them were inches close to each other, and Seoyeon's eyes widened like saucers. He moved away, and she cleared her throat.

"Why do you care about my grades, anyway?" He asked and she quirked an eyebrow.

"I care because if you fail.. then you fail." She replied, pointing to him, "and if you fail.. you're not going to get Haeun back. Trust me, she likes smart boys."

"How would you know that if you don't know her as much as I do?" He questioned her and she chuckled.

"You're pretty dumb when it comes to break-ups and make-ups." She rolled her eyes, and out of nowhere she found herself combing her fingers through his hair.

She stopped, pulling her hand away. Maybe it was the feeling of him being close to her and the feeling of him by her side that made her do that in instinct. Or maybe his hair just looked fucked up. Or maybe she was getting too comfortable with Jungkook in her presence 24/7.

"Sorry, it's just.. your hair was kind of standing in different directions." She apologized and he smirked.

"You really love saying 'sorry', don't you?" She frowned, smacking the back of his head.

"Focus on your work, Jeon Jungkook."

(Seoyeon's POV)

It has been almost a month of this fake relationship and if I were to be honest, everything is going by smoothly. But the only thing we don't know is if it's effective on Haeun. She looked pretty affected the moment our 'relationship' has been spread throughout the school campus.

I was walking down the halls after class, I happened to forget some binders in my locker. On top of that, I had to confirm my project with my professor, just because I loved that feeling of security of getting a good final mark.

"They're still together?" I heard a whisper from down the hall, and I stopped in my tracks.

"I don't see what Jungkook sees in that girl, she's pretty.. average." I placed my hands on my hips, trying to make out what was being said about me.
