2014. (Continuation of last chapter)
"Jungkook-ah-" She turned to the boy closing her locker shut
"You do realize you don't need to be around me 24-7 right?"
After Minhee had her... episode last week, Jungkook made it his mission to protect her at all costs. At school, at the dorm, on tour-
"You can go hangout with your friends, it's okay-" She spoke as the school bell rung signalling their 1-Hour lunch break
"But you're my friend Minhee-ah-" He retorted causing the girl to roll her eyes
"Your other friends dummy-"
Jungkook made a confused expression before answering.
"But they're at the dorm-"
"Don't get smart with me kook-" Minhee deadpanned smacking his shoulder causing him to break out into laughter
"Aish Minhee-ah!" He giggled as she began to push him down the hallway
"Okay okay!!" He rose his hands in defense
"I'll find you again soon!!" Jungkook ran off to find his high school friends
Almost instantly as soon as the boy was out of sight, her smile faded.
She found it sweet how much the members care about her well being... but quite honestly, Park Minhee was still going through it. All the glare's from other female students sending daggers towards her too... wasn't healthy.
Not at all.
Minhee continued on with her usual school day. The two maknae's were pulled out of classes a lot to due BTS' schedule, so she never really made genuine friends.
There was a time once, when Minhee actually thought she made a friend. Her name was Ami Yamazaki.
She was a transfer student from Tokyo, Japan trying to break into the K-pop industry. They actually hit it off pretty well. They'd eat lunch together, talk about their favourite K-Drama's, anime's and even K-Pop groups...
Up until Minhee noticed something.
The only thing that Yamazaki would talk about 24/7 was Mr. Kim Taehyung himself.
Sparkles in her eyes would go off in the mention of the name V.
Everything started to change when the girl was practically trying to pry information out of Minhee causing a red flag in her brain to go off.
It actually made Minhee really sad. Other girls have attempted to do the same thing, (trying to get close to the boys through her) but with Ami... Minhee built a friendship with the girl.
Or at least, that's what she thought.
Once Minhee caught on and Ami noticed, everything changed.
Ami wasn't the caring sweet girl Minhee thought she was.
She was cunning and a backstabber.
The girl started rumours throughout the school about Minhee being selfish, spoiled and a brat. Not only was the whole world hating on Park Minhee, but so was the whole school thanks to Ms. Yamazaki.
Even to this day those rumours about Minhee being a 'bitch' in high school still float around, although the girl denied them at all costs. Minhee has admitted in interviews she was bullied in high school.
Jungkook... was well... Jungkook and everybody loved him, while it takes Minhee time to break out of her shell when she meets new people.
Jungkook was still shy and introverted in his own way, but everyone just acknowledged his presence naturally.
After the situation that happened last week, Minhee herself put things into perspective.
'You know what? Who needs friends? When I have Jungkook-'
Realizing what she thought, made her cheeks burn as she starred at the hallway where the boy walked off.
'A-And-d Namjoon, Jiminie, Taetae, Yoongi, Hobi and Seokjinnie-'
She didn't need anyone else when she has the seven of them. They are her best friends. BTS. Bangtan Sonyeondan.
After everything that happened, it was hard for Minhee to trust people.
School was school, but her career was going to follow her for the rest of her life.
For lunch time, Minhee grabbed her food and headed up to the roof. A quiet place for her to eat. No judgement, no eyes, just her and the sky. The wind swishing through the front pieces of her hair, It was nice.
Sitting on the ground leaning her back against the wall, she took out some of the snacks in her bag that she prepared.
Fresh grapes, half a sandwich and a choco pie for desert.
Snapping open her water bottle the girl jumped at the harsh sound of the heavy double doors
"Aish..." She sighed quickly grabbing some napkins trying to dab off the excess liquid that was now on her uniform
Turning, she looked up to face the silent body that was now standing before her.
"How'd you find me?"
"A classmate of mine saw you going up stairs-" Jungkook took off his backpack before he took a seat on the ground next to her
"Oh-"
"Here-"
The boy threw her a small snack bag of Nutella and wafers he got from the vending machine. With instant reflexes she caught it with ease, looking at the item with a small smile
It was her favourite after all.
"Thank y-"
The boy was half way done scarfing down his banana milk.
"You want some?"
"N-No!! It's okay-" She chuckled watching his boyish charm
...
"Jk-"
"Minnie-"
He mocked, copying her same tone causing the both of them to laugh after.
"You're being too clingy-"
"I am?"
"Yeah-"
"Jungkookie, I'm fine for real-" Minhee turned to the boy who was starring at the concrete in deep thought
"Look at me."
"I'm fine jk-"
His jaw clenched as his eyes wavered.
"Hey..." Her eyes softened
"Don't cry-"
"I'm n-not c-crying!!" Jungkook spazzed wiping his eyes
"I-I got s-somthing in m-my eye-"
"Yeah... sure-" Minhee giggled at his response comically hitting his shoulder
"You're not fine. You can't fool me Minhee-ah-"
...
"No..." She admitted looking back up to the cotton candy clouds in the sky
"No I can't." She bluntly admitted
Jungkook scooted over closer to the girl wrapping an arm around her shoulders as she laid her head against his chest
"I'm s-sorry."
His voice cracked
"I will never allow anything to hurt you like this ever again."
"Jungkook-"
"I promise."
Hearing the assertiveness in his voice about the matter gave Minhee a sense of comfort. As long as she's known the boy, Jeon Jungkook was no Kim Namjoon.
But in this moment something changed. He seemed... almost different. Some what more grown up. This put a smile on her face as her cheeks slightly turned pink. Picking up her head she locked her eyes with his
"Thank you-"
