The School Hunk is Taken | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 4

The next time I saw Jungkook was in the school cafeteria.

My last class of the afternoon was originally political ideology. I couldn't fall asleep, so I headed over to the library for some light reading, and then I went for an early meal. That's when I saw the....absolute of evils.

Jungkook hadn't noticed me yet. He carried his sweet and sour pork ribs and shredded pork with bamboo shoots as he found a seat. Fortunately, it was far away from me. When I saw him, I couldn't help thinking of that short-lived prize money, which naturally reminded me of that disgusting image of him chomping on chicken wings. And so, when he left his seat to get a drink, I snuck over and grabbed the biggest piece of sweet and sour rib, placed it in my own bowl, and slipped back to my table.

Everything happened silently and stealthily. Indeed, I had the talent to be a thief.

I sat back down in my seat, but when I looked up, I saw Jungkook walking for with his tray of food....

He sat down opposite me and tilted his head, like he was recalling something. Then he smiled and asked, "Number 3....Monkey Lili?"

I stabbed my chopsticks into the tofu and cabbage in front of me, as if it were Jungkook's head.

Jungkook seemed intrigued by the tofu and cabbage dish at the center of my tray. He lowered his head and looked at it. With a waggle of his brow, he asked, "Junior Monkey, dieting is hard, isn't it?"

What?! It's all your fault! Wait...Junior Monkey?

Jungkook wasn't receiving the anger-filled signals I was sending out. His lips curved up and he pushed his sweet and sour ribs over to me. "Would you like some?"

I swallowed. I looked away and pushed the plate back. "An...An honest woman doesn't take handouts...."

Jungkook's eyes swept over the large pork rib in my bowl, and he asked profoundly, "Oh really?"

I stared at the lofty piece of meat in my bowl. Suddenly, I had the thought that it would be better if a lighting bolt just struck me dead right then and there....

It was so embarrassing! That's why they say thieves will meet their judgement.

Jungkook was being generous for once and didn't call me out directly. He just said, "Actually, this is to thank you for the chicken wings last time".

The thought of chicken wings brought me despair, so I left behind my courtesy and grabbed the plate of pork ribs. Feigning confidence, I said, "OK then, I'll give you some face". I was sweating inside from anxiety.

So I ate Jungkook was eating unhurriedly as he asked me, "Junior Monkey, are you free tonight?"

I grew alert and looked at him. "Wh...why?"

Jungkook smiled. His smile was definitely carrying some kind of malicious plan. "You're not thinking that I'm asking you on a date, are you?"

I coughed awkwardly and then turned my head to the side.

It's not because I'm a narcissist. It's because of your tone and how you asked....

Just then, Jungkook gave me a comforting look and said, "Don't worry. I'm not so hungry as to be beggar".

I was speechless.

Being looked down on by someone whom I look down on. What kind of feeling is this?

Jungkook said, "I just wanted to ask for you help with something".

I found that a bit ridiculous. "With what? How do you know If I'll even help you?"

Jungkook smiled slightly. "In return, I'll give you a reward".
