"They're watching us." Minjeong boredly uttered
Jimin looked up, "H-Huh?"
Minjeong sighed heavily, "Your dumb friends,"
Jimin looked around and her five friends hid behind a bush. Jimin scrunched her nose, "I don't see anyone,"
Minjeong gave up as she remembered why she took Jimin outside, the girl opened her bag and took a pink lunchbox out.
Jimin's orbs widened, figuring out what is currently happening, she did the same thing as Minjeong and found a black lunchbox inside it.
"My mother put it in the bag wrong bag," said Minjeong.
"You're right." replied Jimin
"What the hell are they doing?" Aeri whisperedly asked
Kai shrugged his shoulders.
"If your slacker classmates saw us doing this, there'd be real trouble." muttered Minjeong as she put the pink lunchbox inside Jimin's
"Did you see that? They swapped something!" Ningning nosily stated
Minjeong fixed her shoulder bag, eyes darting anywhere else except Jimin's.
"More and more inconvenient things like this are going to happen. Things can get mixed up since we're in the same school." Minjeong nonchalantly said
Jimin scowled but she said something otherwise.
"That's right!" She half-heartedly agreed, "You might come to school wearing nothing but a skirt and a cap backwards," Jimin stuck her tounge out
Minjeong's forehead creases at that statement.
"Why would I do that?" Minjeong questioned, having no idea about why Jimin said that.
"Well, you were raised hating upper clothings, don't you? You love caps too!" said Jimin
Minjeong's eyes expanded.
"What could they be talking about? I can't hear a thing," Ningning leaned in closer causing them to fall on the ground
Yuna and Ryujin instantly took them by the collar and brought them behind the bush.
"Ta-da!" Jimin keenly showed the baby picture she got to keep from last night
Minjeong pointed at the picture, "How did you get that?"
Jimin turned the picture towards her as her eyes glittered at the little Minjeong. "I got it from your mom,"
"What's that?" Kai stood up and Aeri had to pull him back in order to not get caught by the two
Minjeong internally facepalmed, "My mother... anyway, give it back!"
"NO!" Jimin stubbornly said
"I said give it back!" Minjeong tried to snatch it back but Jimin's reflex is fast
"I don't want to!"
Jimin puts it inside the pocket of her uniform where her chest is near, Minjeong decided to give up. She doesn't want to touch her, not ever.
"I guess geniuses have weaknesses too," Jimin chuckled
Minjeong hissed, "Are you blackmailing me?"
"I can give it back to you but on one condition." said Jimin
Minjeong paid some attention to whatever Jimin has to say.
"Final exams are in a week. Be my tutor."
"Me?" Minjeong scoffed
Jimin nodded her head
"For you?"
Jimin smiled while pointing at herself.
"How about this? If you help me reach the Top 100, I'll give it back to you." Jimin offered with a smile, she extended her hand for Minjeong to shook it
Minjeong shakes her head, "I refuse."
"Why?" Jimin grimaced at her answer
"It's a waste of time to take on an impossible challenge!" Minjeong heave a deep breath
But she's not yet finished, "Getting an idiot like you into the Top 100 is impossible!"
Minjeong walked away, "Then, I'll just spread this photo to the entire school!"
Minjeong came back with a bothered expression. "Wait, wait!"
Jimin teased by waving her baby picture in the air.
"All right, okay." Minjeong accept her defeat.
Jimin fisted her knuckles and punched the air. "YES!"
"I'll be your tutor for a week starting tonight." Minjeong had no idea why she's doing this. She can simply just deny if her baby photo spreads but that would take a lot of energy
"However, I won't go easy on you. The Top 100 range is filled with Class A and B. It would take a superhuman feat for a Class F student like you there." Minjeong harshly spat out
Jimin pouted while nodding her head.
Minjeong stared at her as she sighed, "Fine. Tonight, then." She turned around to take a leave
Jimin bit her lower lip to stifle a scream. She jumped out of joy, and that's Kai's cue to go near her.
"Jimin! Are you all right?" He worriedly checked her entire face
"Did Kim do anything strange to you?" He added
Aeri and Ningning went beside her, "What were you talking to Minjeong about?"
"It was nothing. All right, I got to study. Yes!" She happily hopped her way back to the classroom leaving all of them to observe her weird behaviour
》》》》》
"Jimin, I'll bring you snacks again later, okay?" Taeyeon caressed her back with a beam
Jimin giggled, "Thank you! I enjoyed last night's snacks!"
Minjeong cleared her throat, "Mother. Please make snacks for two tonight and bring them in Jimin's room."
Taeyeon and Baekhyun stared at each other. The sudden silence was defeaning, they're not used to it.
"For two?" Taeyeon gasped, "Minjeong-ssi, are you saying you're going to study as well?"
"That's right." said Minjeong nonchalantly
Beomgyu whined, "With Jimin? That's not fair! Hey, Minjeong, look over my homework too."
Minjeong sighed, "You're fine on your own, Gyu."
Beomgyu crossed his arms with a pout. Minjeong rolled her eyes and placed her utensils down, she wiped her lips as she stood up.
"Let's go."
Jimin nodded her head stupidly.
'Minjeong and I... are studying together.' She squealed internally
"Thank you for the meal," Jimin bowed her head
Baekhyun, Taeyeon and Beomgyu watched them went upstairs with a shocking expression drawing over their faces.
Jimin happily followed Minjeong wearing a creepy grin. They stopped infront of her room and Jimin idiotically stared at Minjeong waiting for her to say something.
It took her a good five seconds before she realized what Minjeong is trying to imply
"Ah right," Jimin chuckled as she opened the door for them
"Please, come in!" said Jimin awkwardly
Her heart thumped out of her chest when she heard the sound of the door closing. She tried not to show Minjeong how nervous she's feeling. She's not even sure what she's nervous about.
"T-Take a seat!"
"Where do you want to start?" Minjeong sat on the carpet, leaning her back on the bed
"What subject is the hardest for you?"
Jimin fiddled with the hem of her shirt, "M-Math, I guess."
"Then let's start there."
'Minjeongie is so cool!'
Jimin started looking for her Math textbook, glancing from place to place, Minjeong boredly took something under the table. It was the textbook Jimin's looking for.
Minjeong opened the textbook silently, she asked for a pen which Jimin immediately gave. She scoffed at how childish it was. The tip of the pen had a yellow kitty eraser on it.
"Here.." Minjeong marked something on the textbook
Then she flipped the pages for the second time, "And here.."
"How do you know that?" admired Jimin
Minjeong stared at her, "They're the essential points,"
Jimin gulped, "Minjeong, how do you usually study?"
"If if hear or read it once, I remember it." She answered
"I'll give you sample problems, solve them."
Jimin sat straight as she nods her head in agreement.
Minjeong handed her a problem, "If you can solve this, you'll score at least 80%,"
Jimin took it and the problem instantly gave her a headache.
She looked at Minjeong who's also staring at her thus she looked away out of embarassment.
Jimin's attention went back to the paper, minutes later and she still got nothing done, not a single tint of pen came to meet the paper.
'What is this? Have we learned this already?'
Minjeong heave a deep sigh. "What do you even do during class?"
"Makes me wonder what's in your brain." She added
Jimin pursed her lips, she received her criticisms without saying anything back because it's true. She's quite the dumb girl.
"I'm sorry," She whispered
》》》》》
"What could be happening?" Taeyeon gushed, "Minjeong studying with someone? What could have changed in her head?"
Baekhyun laughed, "Maybe, Jimin is more amazing than I thought. She's changed Minjeong in just a short time."
Beomgyu eavesdropped at his parents conversation.
"Maybe it'll be a good change for Minjeong,"
"You think so too, huh?"
"Let's just see how things go,"
