Chapter 8 {Acquit}

Jungkook's POV

Today was the day of my school's history trip and we went to a historical museum.

As usual, no one has approached me to partner up with me so I just walked around by myself. Then I spotted a special painting.

There were a lot of paintings but this one stood out to me.

———————————————————
~The picture above~
———————————————————

The brave use of such sharp colours -- bright red and black -- attracted my eyes.

I stood in front of the huge painting and admired it for a second until someone interrupted the peace and silence.

"Ew. Who even drew this? It's so ugly... Bright red and black? Ugh, such a nasty colour scheme"

I looked over to my left and saw 2 girls from my class chit-chatting.

How pathetic; they can't understand art.

The girls looked back at me with a horrified expression and quickly walked away.

"Girls, girls..."

I shook my head.

I wonder how Y/N is doing.

Suddenly someone jumped on my back and a pair of arms wrapped around my shoulders. I brought my hands to release the pair of arms around my shoulder and turned around. Without thinking, I already knew who it was.

"Koo-kieee~"

I chuckled.

"Why are you here? Are you suppose to be at school?"

"I fast-tracked history didn't I tell you?~"

"Wow fast-taking grade 12 history when you are only in grade 10?"

"Yepppp, did you forget how smart your girlfriend is?~"

I chuckled again and looked at the hands I was holding.

"I would never forget anything about you, Y/N."

Y/N giggled and hugged me again.

"You better not!~"

She released the hug and looked at the painting as well.

"Isn't this painting called Demian?"

"Woah... How'd you know?"

"It's written right here, you noob~"

She pointed to the small rectangular paper at the left side of the painting.

I chuckled.

"Wow, I didn't even notice"

She giggled and turned back to the painting.

"Anyways, why were you looking at this painting? It isn't even part of our curriculum"

I returned my attention back to the painting.

"I don't know, it just caught my attention I guess..."

Y/N walked over to the small rectangular sheet of paper.

"Demian, painted by Kim Namjoon"

She nods as she read the description. She suddenly gasped.

"Wait what?!"

"Shhhh..."

Y/N turned around to face me.

"Don't yell, we are in a museum"

She quickly brought her hands up to her face and covered her mouth --oh how adorable--. Almost immediately, she looked around with an embarrassed expression and lightly bowed to apologize. Then she returned back to me.

"Oh my god Kookie!~"

She whisper-yelled.

"What?"

"Look at the description of the painting"

"Do you see it?"

I scanned through the description.

"Well... uh... it's in English?"

"No, not that"

I returned my attention back to the description and looked carefully. Until Y/N eventually got annoyed.

"Noticed how it was shorter than all the usual description?"

"Yea"

"That's pretty cool isn't it?"

"Yea I guess..."

"Wait... don't tell me this was the reason why you were screaming..."

She giggled.

I sighed and walked away.

"You pay attention to the weirdest things..."

"Wait for me!~"

She ran and caught up with me. Then she hugged my arm.

"You should be glad~ Coz that's why I paid attention to you~"

The tempter --Jeon Jungkook

Linked to the second --The Thanatos

"The evil world with which I no longer want to have anything to do"

Jungkook turned around and looked at the painting one last time.

He smirked.
