Chapter 38

In reality, he was just going to the gym more, wanting to train as much as possible since competitions were coming up but in the end he gave it up just so that he could be with Jimin more.

I couldn't help but smile at the conversation, I could tell Jungkook was a big softie inside, he cares a lot about others even if he doesn't show it.

I wish I could meet someone like Jungkook who would love me like that.

I sigh, knowing fine well my love life was going no where, not when I'm liking someone who would never look at me that way.

I begin walking into the school gates but notice that Jungkook isn't following, "aren't you coming?" I question, staring at the dark haired boy who leisurely stood, leaning against the mental gate.

He shakes his head, rustling his hand inside his pocket before bringing out a small packet of cigarettes. "Going to smoke first. You head in," he says with a tiny smile.

"You know those are bad for you." I point at the packet, "if you're gonna start boxing again, I suggest you give up on those."

Jungkook stares down at the pack of cigarettes while I continue walking inside the school premises, leaving him behind. I smile,

I hope he realises he should give up on those, he doesn't need them...someone else should give up on them too.

I purse my lips. All day, all I could think about was him. I brace myself when my foot steps over the threshold to the dorms. I make it a few steps in before a booming voice stops me.

"Mr Kim?" Miss Ryu says from behind me, my entire body freezes up at the sound.

I rotate myself round to look at the older woman who appears out from the shadows, sheer panic beings to build up in the pit of stomach. "Miss." I bow my head in respect to the woman, remembering fine well she is the principle teacher.

"Coming in late Mr Kim. I have to say, I'm rather disappointed." She speaks with such authority in her voice. I gulp, "I'm sorry Miss."

The woman stares at me, emotionless eyes watching my every move, inspecting me like I'm some tiny bug.

"You know Mr Kim, recently I have been having complaints of barking in the dorms." My insides shut down, I thought I was going to crap myself the minute she said that. I try mustering up my best poker face, keeping my outward facade calm.

"Oh, really Miss?" I play it cool, acting as though this is the first I'm hearing of the 'strange barking.'

She nods once, turning on her heels and begins circling me like a hungry shark. "Yes. We have concerns that it seems to be coming from your hallway. Tell me, have you been hearing any noises?" She continues to walking around me, her hands clasped behind her back before coming to a halt once again in front of me.

I lick my lower lip, "no Miss, I haven't."

She leans in forward, her face close to mines, "remember Mr Kim that I'm always watching. Don't think you can get away with anything," she retreats back giving me a chance to finally breathe.

Her back turns to me, her prime and proper heels click against the floor. She pauses at the door, "oh and Mr Kim." She calls, her back still to me before she whirls her head round enough to let me catch sight of her smirk. "Don't forget that Friday, this week is inspection day." And with that she leaves.
