"Let's see how far you can protect YN, Jeon Jungkook"

Jungkook stopped, his jaw tightening

when he heard Lami's words.

"Don't try to get my girl involved"

"But what if your beloved girlfriend jumps in to protect this mute?"

“Kim Lami-” Mark interjected.

Jungkook clenched his fists.

Taehyung shook.

"You're not afraid that your girlfriend will be taken by this mute? I'm sure you're aware, Jungkook"

"Kim Lami stop it!" Mark's loud exclamation wasn't enough to make the girl surprised, because in fact Kim Lami was now smiling sarcastically when Jungkook left there with his emotions on edge.

Mark, who stared at Jungkook's wide back, let out a faint sigh. He knew Jungkook really wanted to beat Lami, but Jungkook couldn't hit women.

"Don't ever mention YN again" Mark warned.

"That girl has a lot of knights, apparently, makes me jealous" Kim Lami replied with a crooked smile.

Choosing to ignore the annoying girls, Mark and Lucas stepped out of there and caught up with Jungkook who had gone somewhere.

"And I hope you know the limits"

Those were the words Taehyung heard when Mark passed his body. Whisper into his ear.

"Yeah, I'll come later! Can't believe why?"

I snorted in annoyance when I heard soobin's exclamation, then chose to obey. Herin who was between us, smiled a little.

"We'll go to your house together later" the soft voice of the child calmed me down at least a little.

It's nothing, I'm just afraid that Soobin won't come to our group study event tonight because he said he had an appointment with Lucas.

Hell, they're both the same.

"Okay okay, don't forget to call first later" I said, slung my bag over my shoulder.

"I order a banana pudding and orange juice!" chuckled the curly haired girl.

"You think my house is a restaurant!? Hell No!"

"Ish! It hurts!" Soobin held his arm.

You liar, even though I just hit him lightly.

"Just fight later at home YN" Herin intervened between us.

Choosing not to continue our debate - even though it's normal for me and Soobin who never miss fighting every day - we left the class which was getting quiet because it was getting late.

By the way, Jungkook doesn't reply to my chat at all. Several times even missed calls. I do not know where the child is clear now I will look for him.

Ah, maybe busy with tomorrow's tournament preparations the day after tomorrow.

"Who are you going home with?" Soobin's question for Herin distracted my attention from the cellphone.

"Papa can't pick up, he said he told Johnny oppa" replied the girl.

Ah, I forgot to mention that Herin is Johnny are cousin. Yes, it's Brother Johnny. Jae's best friend.

"You want to be with me or not?" Herin's sudden offer made me raise an eyebrow.

"Eh, no need, I've already chatted with Jae oppa anyway"

Of course I lied. Never mind chatting with Jae, since earlier I've only been thinking about Jungkook who was disappeared all day.

Anyway, I suddenly remembered Kim Taehyung. Do not know why. Today we only met briefly, during the lesson I also did not have time to look around.

Taehyung disappeared during recess after the bell rang.

"Not Jungkook?" asked Soobin.

"Erm, he seems busy for the tournament"

"Oh yeah it's the day after tomorrow"

"Yeah, but after this—"

My sentence stopped when my net rotated and caught the object that I had been thinking about. There was a bit of surprise in my view at that time.

It wasn't because Jeon Jungkook was with Xu Yiyang.

But because they were seen talking with very happy expressions. Seeing Jungkook's wide and open smile like that... my heart sank.

Oh, what the hell? They're just talking about the tournament. Wake up YN.

"You guys go ahead" I said briefly, when I was on the terrace of the building.

"Really don't want to be together?" Herin again asked. "No, after this, Jae oppa will pick me up',

"Be careful, see you later girls" Soobin descended the stairs first while waving his hand. Herin and I returned Soobin's wave, until finally Herin did the same thing to me.

"Call me later" I said as she started to walk away.

"Sure" the girl smiled sweetly until her dimples appeared.

I don't know why I feel so confused right now. I want to go home with Jae, but in fact until now I still haven't touched my cellphone at all to contact him.

I even stood stiff with a radius of 15 meters from Jungkook, who still didn't realize I saw him with Yiyang.

Should I approach them? Small talk saying "Jungkook don't you have practice?" or sarcasm like "Jungkook, I've spam chat with voice call" or the more rude "You were looking for earlier and it turned out that you were alone with another girl"

Crazy?

Too much?

That's not my style. Jungkook will be surprised if I suddenly act like that.

Ah!

"Kook"

I called Jungkook finally, while walking towards them.

As I expected, Jungkook looked surprised. He then took a step back from Yiyang, while the beautiful and elegant girl looked at me with her charming eyes.

"You are still here?"

"Um, I want to go home after this. I just want to say, Lucas is waiting for you on the basketball court" I smiled bitterly.

Of course I lied about that.

"Hi, YN" Yiyang greeted me, then smiled very sweetly.

I returned the smile, as cute as possible "Hello, Yiyang-ssi"

This is weird. I'm not the jealous type of girl. But why does seeing Jungkook and Yiyang in one frame feel so shocking?

Selfish?

It was like seeing the crown prince and princess there, and my presence among them was as ashes.

What a shame~ baby what a shame~

"Okay, I'll go home first, wait for Jae oppa" I smiled at Jungkook who didn't say a word, "Go ahead, Yiyang"

"Yeah, take care of you" she replied very kindly.

By God she is so graceful and

they fit so well together..

Shortly after I stepped away from there, I faintly heard Jungkook's voice.

"Okay, I'll go to the field first, thanks for the proposal"

Yes, I know their business is limited to the basketball captain and student council secretary. I can also see the big brown envelope in Jungkook's hand earlier.

But never mind.

Jungkook chased after me, of course. But it's up to him if he wants to explain anything. I don't even need an explanation.

I'm not angry, I'm jealous but I'm not that exaggerated to ask the man to give a logical reason.

I trust Jungkook, I just feel insecure.

"You know I'm after you, why won't you stop?"

Jungkook's voice behind me stops my footsteps for a moment. Then, I turned around.

"What?"

"You"

"Huh?"

"Angry?"

"No"

"Lying?"

"No"

"I know you are, YN"

Then, a sigh escaped my lips. "Then you don't know anything about me"

"Yn-"

"Jungkook, please. I'm okay and ain't feel jealousy or anything"

Jungkook looked silent for a few moments, but his eagle eyes never let go of me.

"Why are you lying?"

"Just-"

"Jae bro won't pick you up, Jae bro can't pick you up because he still has an exam right now"

Oh, for god sake.

Why should I forget that? Why should I forget that my brother is having exams since 3 days ago?

Jungkook even remembers well that Jae has an afternoon schedule.

Jungkook who is too smart or me who is too stupid?

"Sorry..." my voice trailed off.

I hear Jungkook sigh in frustration. "You're avoiding me huh?"

"You are avoiding me"

"No"

"You don't pick up the phone, I don't even reply to the chat"

"So you're mad about that?"

"I said I'm not and I won't"

To be honest, why are the two of us getting like this day by day? I've tried not to be a source of trouble by being reasonable, but let's say we both try to neutralize each other's emotions, it still feels like something could make us have different arguments.

"I'll take you home" Jungkook finally said.

"No-"

Right at that moment, I saw Taehyung's figure passing by. He is seen walking from the west side of the building.

I tried to ignore it because Jungkook was in front of me at the moment, but there was one thing that surprised me to death when I realized something odd about Kim Taehyung.

"yN, can you hear me?"

"Sorry Jungkook, but you have to practice, I want to go home alone"

Jungkook didn't even have time to answer my words, my footsteps had taken me away from him. I ran as hard as I could.

My ears were deaf when my boyfriend shouted my name.

Sorry Jungkook, but...
