Song: ADDICTION BY DOJA CAT
Y/N'S POV
"Shit, where did I put it?" I cursed under my breath, my hands busy searching on every corner of my bag, the sunflower drawing I started yesterday. It was already ruined but I wanted to correct it anyway.
Maybe I forgot to bring it.
Suddenly, my head banged into something hard causing me to drop my file folder. The drawings that were inside flew all over the place, and I bent down to pick each and every paper.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry" a man exclaimed bending down with me, helping me pick up the drawings.
I raised my gaze over the man, and my eyes met his. Oh God it was Mark. The cutest guy in the whole compound . His manly scent filled the atmosphere as he flashed me a smile taking a look at my drawings.
"You're talented" he whispered, his eyes still glued on one of my drawings. "I mean, I know we're inside an art university but girl" he added making my cheeks warmer.
"Thank you" I bowed repeatedly as I stood up.
"Oh, my name is Mark by the way" the guy smiled, stretching his hands over me. He looked so cute up-close. He has a beautiful smile and he also smells good.
"I know, I'm Jocelyn" I chuckled awkwardly. Mark let out a surprised tone. "You do?" he chuckled causing me to nod.
"You're quite popular in this compound" I whispered audibly, fidgeting with the hem of my hoodie. Mark smiled shyly before he took out his phone and hand it to me.
"Can I have your number my lady?" he asked taking me by surprise, lot's of questions popped in my head with that instant. Why would he want my number? Especially someone like him?
"Hum" I hesitated, my insecurities creeping up in my head.
"We can be friends, c'mon" the guy added with a comforting smile.
I took his phone hesitantly and wrote the digits of my phone number, the voices in my head couldn't stop but I faked a smile and handed him his phone back.
"See you around Jocelyn" he winked at me before his figure faded.
My eyes followed him as he walked with his friends. Weird, why would he want to be friends with someone like me?
I shrugged the thoughts and my way to my class.
God, we have Mr. Park right now. Since me and Jungkook will be accepting the project he'll be around me during Mr. Park's hours.
I hope he doesn't feel like I'm invading his space, he told me clearly that he doesn't want me near him.
I don't know why he has this strong feeling of hatred when it comes to me, we've never had a proper conversation to begin with.
But come on Joce, you've endured too many people who treated you like shit, this ain't nothing compared to them. You can always ignore him as he told you.
I assured myself, plastering my usual smile on my face before I made my way in the classroom.
My eyes landed on Jungkook as soon as I entered, he was looking down at me with his usual blank face. My eyes wandered around just to witness everyone sitting in pair.
Mr. Park walked towards me with a bright smile.
"I'm glad that you guys agreed to do this" he tapped my shoulder before walking away.
I looked back at Jungkook again, his cold piercing gaze didn't leave mines sending shivers through my spine. I hesitated to sit beside him but all of a sudden he motioned me with his head to come near him.
'I thought he didn't want me beside him, why is he confusing me?'
I slowly walked towards him, my head hanging low. God, why am I so scared of him?. "Why are you standing over there? Come sit!" he didn't even look at my direction this time. His voice was cold as ice.
I slowly pulled a chair and sat beside him. Not daring to speak a single word. I didn't want to be awkward so I took out my drawing utensils. Let's just pretend to do something.
Jungkook was busy listening to music, ignoring me completely. Sitting beside him felt like hell. The struggle was real. Jungkook isn't the type that makes you feel welcomed, he's the type that makes you uncomfortable with his stare.
I tried my best not to pay attention to him, but it was hard.
Jungkook broke my trance when he placed his large hand on my thigh, under the table. My eyes widened in shock and I looked up at him, meeting his gaze. His warm palms sent shivers down my spine. He lit up something inside of me.
"Stop it! Will you?!" he said with a firm tone, referring to my shaky legs.
I removed his hand from my legs and nodded in response, shaking my thoughts. 'Tsk, why does he have to be so rude?' I thought to myself, keeping up with my drawings.
I took a quick glance at Jungkook, admiring his features for the millionth time already. His hair was slightly messy like usual, but it suited him. He also had dark circles under his eyes and a few loose strands of hair were falling over them too. He looked as if he hadn't slept properly since yesterday morning.
He seems like a main character in one of those books that I'm obsessed with reading, I thought, taking a quick glance back at him. I couldn't help but smile to myself at the thought, which quickly turned into a slight frown as he stared right at me.
'Oh Lord. He's going to think that I'm a creep.' I thought, looking around, avoiding Jungkook's intense gaze. I can feel goosebumps rising on my skin. He looks so annoyed to sit beside me. My eyes landed on my wristwatch, well, we have a few minutes left and we'll be done for today.
'Just a few more minutes.' I mentally prayed. I still haven't gotten used to him sitting next to me when he's working.
Jungkook cleared his throat, pulling me away from my musings.
"What's up with you?" he asked with the coldest tone possible. "Why do you always stare at your watch?" he seems so annoyed, God! He's stressing me out even more! And to make matters worse, his glare just gets worse every second!
I'm trying my best not to be awkward, but I'm falling already. I felt sweat forming underneath my shirt as I continued drawing in silence.
"You don't answer when someone asks you something. Are you deaf?" he added, obviously angry now. Well that just made me even more uncomfortable than I already am!
I looked up and sighed, finally giving him an answer, "That shouldn't concern you Jeon, you told me not to invade your space so I'm doing as told" I said in a calm voice, making sure to keep my eye contact with him while speaking, hoping it would ease the tension between us.
But no, it just made things worse. He only stared even harder, narrowing his eyes. His face became even redder.
I tried hard not to look away. but I failed.
Jungkook let out a frustrated sigh before he stood up abruptly, grabbing his backpack. "Fine, then," is all he said and walked away, leaving me alone.
'What the hell is wrong with him?!' I internally screamed, staring at his retreating figure. 'No way, I'm going to stop this! ' I thought. I gathered my stuff together and got ready to leave.
Just as I was about to step out of the hallway, someone suddenly grabbed my arm. I gasped as my whole body jolted in shock, my pencil flying out of my hands and onto the floor.
"Ah!" I shrieked in panic as my arms shot up and covered my chest.
The person holding my arm chuckled awkwardly, "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you" It was Mark, who immediately pulled his hand off my elbow after apologizing. I let go of the breath I wasn't aware I was holding and lowered my head.
Mark looked at me worriedly, "Are you okay, Jocelyn?" His eyebrows furrowed in concern as he watched me take deep breaths in order to calm down. "Yeah" I smiled awkwardly , "It's just...my heart is racing."
I explained while Mark nodded slowly, watching me carefully. "Where are you heading, by the way?" he asked.
"Uhm, I'm heading back to my dorm" I mumbled.
"Can I walk you there? I have a free period and I've been wanting to talk to you for a bit" Mark grinned sheepishly at me.
I smiled back shyly, "Yeah. Sure."
