The sudden hug from me made him startled but he just stayed still not trying to do anything about that. However, I just felt the urge to hug him and I felt that he just needed someone by his side. I wrapped my arms around him and tightened the embrace. Instead of Jungkook, I was the one who cried even though it has nothing to do with me. But I could feel the pain and sorrow in his heart.

What am I doing? I thought. my tears don't stop falling.

He turned around and looked at me. His gaze was different from what I usually see. It was filled with emotion. No sign of coldness. He showed me a smile, wiping off my tears from the cheeks. I literally froze and stared at him in awe.

"I'm okay."

Liar. He wasn't okay at all. I could see it in his eyes. But it wasn't the right time to argue about that. So I simply nod, accepting his answer.

We stayed there for awhile thinking about school, life and other problems high school students usually have. There wasn't much of a conversation. Though, I felt that the feeling of hate towards him kind of disappeared. I learned a new side of Jungkook. The emotional one.

"How?" I suddenly spit out and immediately regretted it. Well, I couldn't hold in my curiosity. I was worried whether it was a hurtful question and I didn't want to ruin even more his mood than it already was.

"When the right time has come, I might tell you." He said. I felt relieved after his response. I didn't want him to remember this terrible scene.

"Actually, I don't really hate you." He said, looking at the sky and laughed a little. My eyes grew large. I didn't really know how to respond.

"But I do." I laughed, trying to lighten up the mood a bit.

"Yah." He shot me a glare and started to laugh again.

After spending almost a day with Jungkook I went home and saw my dad sitting on the couch, watching tv.

"I'm home." I said and greeted dad.

"Where have you been?" He asked after looking at the clock noticing it was already pretty late.

"I was with a friend."

"Oh really?" He sounded pretty interested, which was scary.

"Uhm, it was a girl. Don't worry." I said. I could see the relief shown on his face. He's always overreacting when it comes to boys and whatsoever.

I sat on the dining table enjoying the food dad prepared. I was starving the past few days, because of school, you know. And getting bullied doesn't make it easier. While eating I couldn't think about anyone else than Jungkook. I didn't feel any hate. It was rather a happy feeling? I shook my head to get rid of my thoughts and to focus on what I'm doing right now.

"Do you want to visit my best friends house? He wants to get to know you a little more." Dad suddenly asked.

"Sure." I answered. It was a good opportunity to spend a day with dad since he was quite busy. Plus, I wanted to get to know dad's best friend too.

I went upstairs to my room, throwing myself in my bed. I heaved a sigh and just looked at the ceiling, thinking how hard life is. I was playing around with my phone until I found a new number on my phone list.

The good looking classmate.

I rolled my eyes. I was about to delete it but I suddenly received a message.

>>Thanks.<<

Thanks for what? I was about to ask that question but Jungkook was one step ahead.

>> For accompanying me.<<

My eyes grew large. I actually didn't expect this. But I guess everyone would choose the option to help someone who has a difficult time and need a person to lean on.

The next day, I entered the classroom, going to my seat and just looked dreamily out of the window. The rumors still exist but I got used to it since it wasn't the truth and I don't have anything to be scared of. I kind of doze off until I heard students whispering louder. I turned my head to the door and saw Jungkook coming in, giving us a bored expression. He indeed came to school today. A feeling of happiness was in my heart as I saw Jungkook entering the classroom. I then saw the girls looking at me then at Jungkook and then at me again. This continued a few times until the teacher came and the lesson started.

''So, I have good news. We'll be doing a 5-days class trip. But this time we're going abroad!'' He said. Everyone got excited except me.

''So, where are we going?'' A boy asked.

''Is it new york?''

''Or London?''

''No sydney!''

''None of them. It's ...

Tokyo!'' Everyone shouted because of excitement and joy. My heart was silently crying, because I didn't really want to spend a whole week with people, who dislike me. There's nothing I can do about it since dad always wants me to join them. Even if I try to convince him, he won't change his mind. I looked around and saw Jungkook showing no reaction, like always.

''Another class will be going with us.'' He handed us bunch of sheets for the class trip, which we need to fill in.

''5 days with Jungkook!'' Those fangirls again. I rolled my eyes.

"This is a chance!" Another one said.

''I won't come.'' He said and the girls looked at him in shock.

''Ah why oppa?!''

''Cause I don't want to.''

''Be quiet. Let's continue with our lesson.'' The teacher interrupted them.

It was time for lunch and of course, my favorite time of the day. And as usual I was sitting alone. I sighed, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying my lunch. While eating, I noticed some guys watching at me and smirked. I looked back at them suspiciously and saw Jungkook. They seem to plan something and I got curious. Just in time, Taehyung stood in front of me to surprise me and blocked my sight to Jungkook.

"How come you're never scared?"

"I'm tough." I replied without the need to think about it and posed like a hero.

"Your acting skills suck." He laughed.

"Hey, you're not better." I teased him. While talking to Taehyung, the others looked at me confused and in surprised since Taehyung and I seem pretty close. Well, we are. At least for me comparing to the other students. Taehyung's also quite popular here. He's more of a kind boy I guess. Girls these days prefer boys with those bad, cold image. Yeah. That's Jungkook.

"We're going to tokyo with you guys."

"Really? That's nice. So you can help me to translate cause my japanese is like from a first-grader." I smiled.

"Mine isn't that good too. But I think my knowledge is good enough to save you if you're lost."

He then started to eat my food and I glared at him, giving him a sign of warning.

"Mine." I said. He started to look at me, showing me his aegyo face. My eyes enlarged. I've always felt uncomfortable to see boys doing aegyo. Awkward. But Taehyung's aegyo is quite cute though. I couldn't really deal with it and turned around to avoid his face. But he didn't think of giving up.

"Okay, fine fine! You can have some." I said.

"Thanks." He smiled, ruffling my hair.

I left the school and closed my eyes for a few seconds, enjoying the sunny day. I took a seat in the bus waiting for the bus driver to close the door and drive on. Just in time Jungkook entered the bus and sat next to me. I felt uncomfortable though, because of the incident yesterday. I kept silent.

''Did you receive my message?''

''Uhmm.. yeah.'' Wow this really felt awkward. It was silent again and I tried to change the topic.

''Why don't you want to go to the class trip.'' I asked.

''I don't know it's not my style. What about you?''

''I have no choice.'' I replied, sighing.

''But, it would be nice if you would come with us.'' I said. I realized that he was the first person I was talking to, even though we don't like each other. But I noticed we both are able to have a normal conversation. At least for a few minutes.

''Have you already fallen for me?'' He looked at me and gave me his evil smirk.

''Errr no.'' I said, glaring at him and crossed my arms.

''There is no one to annoy me.'' I said and tried not to laugh. However, I really meant what I said. It's awkward if Jungkook isn't around me. Though, I don't know what's the reason that I want him to go with us.

''Is this a confession?'' He teased and came closer to me until inches were left between our faces. I held my breath, feeling nervous and gulped. This was too close.

''Shut. Up.'' I said and slightly pushed him away to get a bit more space.

''Okay fine. I'll go with to tokyo then.'' He said. I looked at him in surprise, my eyes grew large.

How did I do this? I thought.

"Uhm, that's good." I said and still wondered how I could convince him that fast.

It was the station where I had to go out.

"Move. I need to get out." It was more of an order than a question.

"Hmm let me think... No." He gave me his evil smirk. I tried to push him out of the seat, unsuccessfully. Instead I fell and looked around as I saw confused gazes from other people. i shot Jungkook a glare and the door closed and I had no other choice but to stay in the bus.

"Okay, you win." He stood up and gestured me to get out the bus. Does he think I'm stupid or what? I hit him really hard and he whined in pain.

"Why are you so strong? You're indeed not an ordinary girl."

Suddenly an old lady got in the bus and approached us noticing our "fight".

"You guys are such a cute couple." I furrowed my brow, thinking whether I listened right. I was about to explain her that it is all a misunderstanding but Jungkook quickly put his arms around my shoulder.

"Thank you, miss. She's really clumsy." He laughed. I tried to get rid of his arm but he squeezed it so hard that I couldn't even breathe properly.

"No. no-"

"I wish you good luck in your relationship." She smiled.

"No that's a mis-" I couldn't say anything since Jungkook covered my mouth with my hand.

"Thank you. Have a good day."

"Why?"

"Because." Wow, what an answer.

***

As always Jungkook makes everything more difficult than it already is. I recalled the scene in the bus and tried to understand. But nothing seems to make sense and I got more confused. It was really suspicious. I doubt that it was just to tease me. Not like this. My mind is a mess.

Does it have something to do with these other dudes at school?

I suddenly got distracted from my thoughts as I heard dad coming home. I went to greet him and helped him to carry all these stuff he bought in the grocery market.

"I will have a class trip to tokyo." I delivered him the news.

"This is nice. A good opportunity for you."

"Well, yeah. B- but-"

"You know you can't convince me from not going."

"I know." I said in a disappointing tone. Though it was obvious.

"By the way there is a boy outside. He seems to wait for you."

"I'm not expecting anyone." 

He looked at me, wanting me to explain this.

"Dad. I am not dating anyone. I swear." I said clearly, hoping that he believes me.

"I hope so. I already know someone you can date. You will like him."

"Wait. What?" I froze, not being able to believe what he just said.

"He's a good boy."

"But I don't want to date anyone."

"At least give it a try. You don't need to date him immediately."

I didn't response since I was speechless. Even though I might like him, how can someone like a person who is a misfit?

''You shouldn't let that boy wait.'' He said.

''It won't take long.'' I opened the door and looked around. He seemed to already leave, which was good for me though.

***

I woke up at at 6 am thanks to the door ringing. I felt to unmotivated and wanted to sleep a little longer. But the person doesn't stop ringing so I had no other choice. I dragged my body out of the bed and went downstairs to open the door. I opened the door, annoyed and was ready to hold a speech about how rude it is to wake someone up at 6 am.

''What. Don't you know-'' This face was so similar to someone I know. Well, I was still half asleep and I could barely my eyes open. I blinked thrice, trying to look closely to see who that person is.

Hey guys! I'm sorry for updating so slow, but here it is, right? huehue So, I have a lot to say. Actually I would have updated earlier, but it was the time when the scandal about kris about his lawsuit happened and well, you know. Tbh Kris is one of my favourites in exo (i don't really have a bias but there are times when I like this one member more than the others. So it always changes haha) I didn't know what to believe since there were a bunch of rumors that were not confirmed. I was really down and didn't feel like updating. I hope you understand.

As you can see, the cover of this story is simple and other stories have many awesome covers. ( and yo, I can't edit at all lol). Some people ask me why I don't ask someone to edit my cover. But to be honest, I don't really want a girl on my cover where you can see her face, because I want to let you guys imagine how she looks and let your fantasies be free. ^^ Sorry again for lame updates lmao but I hope you guys enjoy reading it. :')
