Chapter 9

My Love for Him, His Love for Her

It's been a few days since 'that night'. Minseo and Jungkook are in good terms now and I can say that because they call and text each other everyday to check on one another. I was happy for them and proud of my accomplishment. Jimin, on the other hand, since that night kept asking me about what was going on between Jungkook and Minseo but I somehow was able to avoid his questions. He just shouldn't know! First of all, I know Minseo definitely wouldn't want me to tell him (nor anybody) about her being rejected by Jungkook. And second of all, it might actually hurt Jimin a lot knowing the person he likes, loves someone else and most of all, has been rejected by that person. I just can't tell him...I can't...hurt him, because...I know how it feels like.

I sighed and tried to clear my mind from all those useless and day ruining thoughts and started getting ready for the day, throwing on some leggings and a hoodie before grabbing my backpack and heading out to my class. I started walking in the hallways, hearing whispers here and there "have you heard about the new transferee?" "oh yes! I've heard that he's really handsome!" "yes yes! and he's from America too! aah I can't wait to see him!" A new transferee from America? well, that's new. We barely had any tranferees from foreign countries so this was definitely something to look forward to. Before I go to my first class, I went to the cafeteria to get some breakfast and also meet up with Jimin. This was our everyday routine. Meeting each other every morning and helping each other getting ready for the day.

I ordered some croissant with a cup of milk coffee before searching the place to sit down until I saw a familiar face. That face looked up from his phone and caught my eyes before his own eyes disappeared into crescents as he smiled and waved at me. I returned his smile and walked towards his table

"waited for too long?" I smirked as I settled down

"oh yea! I was dying from loneliness" he scoffed and I giggled

"awe my poor little Jiminie was lonely without his love" I pinched his cheeks gently

"yea sure, the most handsome guy in this college would never be lonely" he said smugly

"well, I don't think you would be the only 'handsome' guy here from today"

"and why is that?"

"have you heard about the new transferee from America? I've heard he's REALLY handsome"

"well, you 'heard' he's handsome, it's not like you've actually seen him. By the way, it's literally impossible for someone to look handsomer than me" he winked and I scoffed

"will see about that mister" we both started laughing and eating our breakfast. When we were done, Jimin walked me to my class and tapped me on my shoulder

"good luck!" he smiled

"thanks, you too!" I smiled back

"and if you see that new transferee guy, tell him that the number one best-looking male on the campus is already occupied by Park Jimin, he can be the second"

"sure will do mister number one" I giggled and waved him goodbye before walking into my class. I found my seat at the back and after settling down, I pulled out my phone and started playing with it until I heard everyone rose from their seats as the professor walked in. The professor motioned everyone to sit back down and was about to begin the lecture when somebody burst into our class, panting.

"sorry I'm late, I was lost finding my classes" the boy managed between his short breaths

My eyes widened as I looked at the boy. My jaw dropping at the too familiar figure in front of me. I didn't know how to react. I forgot how to breathe for a minute which caused me to gasp for air.

"I assume you're new then, please introduce yourself to the class and have a seat" the professor instructed the boy and he bowed

"hello! I'm a new transferee, Jeon Jungkook. please treat me well" J-Jungkook?! what is he doing here?? didn't he just come here to visit for a while? why did he transfer to our college? what is going on?!?!

Jungkook smiled to the class then found himself a seat, which was in the row in front of me. The professor began the 3-hour lecture, but I didn't understand a word as my brain was trying to process the whole situation that happened earlier. He didn't even notice me...or did he? I was watching his back the entire time, trying to figure out what he was doing here, in this college, in this class?? Finally I pulled out my phone and texted him:

"Jungkook what are you doing?"

"good morning to you too"

"good morning, what are you doing?"

"trying to pay attention to the lecture"

"stop playing around! what actually are you doing here??"

"let's talk after class :)" Ugh, this guy! seriously!

I put away my phone and impatiently waited for the class to end.

"that's it for today, class. Read the rest of chapter 4, we'll have an essay in the next class" the professor said as he began to gather his belongings. I quickly wrapped up my own belongings and ran to Jungkook's desk. He was still busy taking the last notes the professor left on the board. I crossed my arms, tapping my feet while waiting for him to finish up.

"sorry for the wait" Jungkook smiled as he grabbed his bag and walked with me outside the class, but I stopped him midway

"Jeon Jungkook!"

"hm?"

"stop playing around and explain to me..what are you doing here? why did you transfer here? didn't you only come here to visit?? what happen-"

"wowowo!! calm down! ask me one at the time" he giggled and I breathed deeply, trying to calm myself down a little

"no but seriously, why are you here?"

"I'm feeling so welcomed here right now, thanks" he joked

"no no! that's not what I meant, really! I'm just shocked to see you here. I thought you only came here to visit Minseo, but now you've transferred to our college" I explained as I rubbed the back of my head nervously

"I don't have any reason to go back" he began "But I do have a reason to stay" My eyes widened at his response

"and what's your reason?" I asked, only to earn a smile from him. To be honest, I was kinda glad that he's staying here. Even though I was with Minseo for almost three years, she still had that kind of loneliness in her heart without Jungkook, so I'm glad she wouldn't feel like that anymore. Also, Jungkook's a friend of mine now. We managed to grow so close together in the course of one month that he was here and I'm happy that I wouldn't lose such a close friend.

"so, you're planning to stay?"

"mhm!" He nodded excitedly "I didn't know that you would have such a huge campus! I still can't find some of my classes, mind showing me around?" He asked, changing the topic

"sure.. do you have your class schedule?"

"yea!" He reached in his bag to pull out a piece of folded paper "here" I looked at his schedule and started guiding him to his classes one by one, starting with the closest one.

"and here is your art class" after showing him his classes, I realized that we had two classes together. English in the morning and art in the afternoon, "we're in the same class" I smiled

"I didn't know you liked arts" he said, surprised

"well..it's a requirement to graduate" I shrugged

"but this is an advanced art class!"

"I know, I've been taking arts since forever. It'd be weird if I still was in the basic class" I joked and he giggled

"so you actually like arts"

"meh, it's alright-"

*Growl*

I was disrupted by the sound of both of our stomachs growling in harmony. We looked at each other and burst into laughter "I think it's time to show you the cafeteria" I giggled and he nodded in agreement "the best part of the campus!" he remarked and I laughed "it sure is!!"

We walked inside the cafeteria and decided on our lunch. After finding a seat to sit down, my phone buzzed

Jiminie:

"hey~ I'm on my way, the usual place?"

Me:

"yup! c u~"

This was also our everyday routine. After my morning class is over, I would go to the library until Jimin's and Minseo's classes were over. Then Jimin would text me to meet them at the cafeteria until our afternoon classes start. Looking at Jungkook's schedule made me realize that our class and break times were almost similar, so that means another party has just joined our routine. It was exciting!

"who was it?" Jungkook asked which caused me to snap back from my thoughts

"It was Jimin! he's on his way" Jungkook's smile suddenly fade away by the mention of Jimin's name "I didn't know you liked him that much!" I joked, but he only replied with a bitter smile. I wonder why he dislikes him...Suddenly my vision out as I felt a pair of hands on my eyes.

"what is my girl doing with another guy sitting next to her?" I heard a familiar voice next to my ear and I grabbed his hands to remove them from my eyes

"you don't even know" I winked and he pinched my cheek rather roughly which made me wince

"owww! what the heck Jimin!" I complained as I rubbed my cheek

"that's what you get for betraying me!" Jimin said as he pinched my other cheek

"OWW! stooop!!" I whined and he just laughed "Jiminie, you're so cruel" I started "It's just Jungkook. He's the new transferee that everyone was talking about. I showed him around the campus but then we got hungry and here we are" I explained then looked at Jungkook "see.. that's what I'm dealing with everyday" I shook my head and he giggled before reaching his hand to shake Jimin's

"so you're the transferee? everyone was talking about you, man! but lemme tell ya, the first place in being the most handsome on campus is already occupied" Jimin said smugly as he was pointing to himself. Geez, this guy is so full of himself! well... I don't see a reason why he shouldn't be either...handsome face, toned abs, thick thighs, muscular arms.. I can't remember a time girls didn't stop their tracks and stare at him whenever he walked by. But no matter how manly he looked, he was just a kid inside.

"hahaha" Jungkook laughed, kinda sarcastically

"ya ya ya! why are you laughing? Girls nearly die whenever they see me!" Jimin tried to explain, but Jungkook only nodded in a 'we'll see' kind of way. I was just sitting there between the two, watching them as they tried to convince each other who was handsomer. I couldn't help but to let out small giggles here and there.

The convincing 'thing' went on until Jungkook got interrupted by his name being called

"Jungkook?!?" we all turned around to see Minseo frozen at her spot, her eyes never leaving Jungkook's

"Hey, Minseo!" He smiled and waved at her

"w-w-what are you d-doing here??" she stuttered at her words. I could see her figure was shaking as she took small steps towards our table

"I've transferred here, I decided to stay" He explained

"you're staying?!?!?" she squealed

"yes!"

"oh my god!! oh my goddd!!" she screamed while jumping up and down and making her way towards Jungkook and hugging him tightly. Jungkook hugged her back "calm down" he giggled. I was laughing with them until I felt a statue standing next to me. It was the motionless Jimin, his face emotionless as he watched the two.

'this is going to be extra hard on him, now' I thought to myself
