The previous day simultaneously seemed like the longest day of your life and the shortest one.

You were drained from the constant headaches and waves of sickness.It was mixed with feelings of regret - "Why did I drink so much?" which was followed by the conclusion that you'll never drink again.Even if that is a lie we all tell ourselves thinking we have any control over our impulses.

Today you had a lecture that you couldn't skip out on.You stared at the banana on the kitchen counter.All food was underwhelming yet tasteless.You had to eat it anyway.

"C'mon have you risen from the dead?" you were pushed out of your thoughts into the real world by Miyeon slapping your behind.

"What are you doing moron."

"All i know is I'm definitely going to your next party.Everyone in my department is talking about you."

"I hate that."

"As if anyone could hate attention."

"I've never liked it nor disliked it, I guess I just have no opinion on it.People's image of you will waver so why should it matter."

"Look at you sounding all high and mighty.I'm just waiting for your sob stroy on how your parents couldn't buy your love."

"I'm not out of touch."

"Debatable - see you later" she said rushing out.

You were tired and didn't feel like sticking to your daily routine.Everyday has begun to feel the same.A wish was born inside you.You wished you were more fufilled.Maybe that's why Jungkook caught your attention, he was bringing something new to your life.But you didn't feel like staying in and doing nothing all day that would just make you even more depressed.

You snapped back to reality.
You gazed into your reflection - atleast you were clean.Getting ready would set your day off better.You wore fitted baggy black jeans with a pretty white top.You did your makeup and played your favorite music.A silly ritual that made a big difference.

You took the longer route the riverside and autumn leaves were all you needed.It was a warm day.

Everything was going smoothly. Your first lecture was pretty interesting.It was psychology .You were taking a lot of classes trying to figure out what you liked.More often or not the subjects you enjoyed and the subjects you were good at did not overlap.

Duing break period you read at the library.It was really a regural day for you except for the constant whispering around you.You assumed it was because of your friend group that night.

You made your way to the important lecture.As you walked in you acted as if you couldn't hear anything and as if you didn't feel their eyes on you.You sat in the back.

He walked in and scammed the room just to find you.That action also made the whispering louder.

"Hey,party animal."

"Not you,as well."

"What?What do you mean?"

"I'm pretty sure anyone could notice due to how loud they're being."

"You think they care about you?How self-centered can you be?"

You didn't say anything.You just looked into Jungkook's eyes.It was taking you some time to think of something.So you subconsciously turned away.

"I'm sorry if that was out of line,you okay?"

You didn't really care but you wanted to test him.How would he act if he hurt you?

You stayed quiet looking down to your lap.

"Hey" he moved closer to move your hair from falling into your face

"I'll make up for it."

A pretty voice from the front of the class out ruled the others for a split second.

"Guys,check your emails.The professor isn't coming but she graded our exams."

"Shit,God help me this once for this six."

You couldn't help but giggle.

"I knew you were faking it."

You checked your email.

"What did you get?It was pretty easy."

"Well easy for you."

"I got a 7!" he said proudly.He looked for your name on the list.

"Wow a 10."

"Did you say that when you saw me for the first time too?" you asked while smiling at him.

"No Im pretty sure I said who is this goth chick because you were wearing black."

"And I think mine was this guy is pretty dumb."

"You love to lie,Y/N!"

"So how are you gonna make up for this?"

"For what?"

"You sat next to me so now you owe me."

"How does that make sense I only sat here because you were sitting alone."

"Is that why you also searched the room for me?"

You guys texted mostly and you didn't see him in person that much. So It was fun for you to see his flustured reactions to your comments.

"Yes." he said after a few seconds of trying to think of something.

"Okay - let's go grab a cup of coffee." he swiftly suggested .

"Alright you pick the location - I want to know what type of places you go to."

"You would get trafficked" he joked.

Little did you know you'd regret your earlier statement.

The cafe he brought you to was "Zone 01" It was pretty hiden and you had to pass behind some buildings and paths to find it .Yet it was so full that you barely found an empty spot.Everyone from your campus was there .Though you didn't know their names you had remembered their faces from seeing them every day.You guys sat down and ordered.

He always seemed to return your energy and he was actually easy going and that made you comfortable around him.

You could talk about silly stuff but you could also talk about some heavy topics,he was pretty open-minded and made good arguments.Though he didn't put much work into school you could tell he was smart.

He smelled nice.A mix of that fresh shower scent and expensive cologne.

"So even if you made a joke out of it I could tell you were taken a back by the self centered comment.Why's that?"

"To be honest?I don't know.I noticed people talking about me but I don't really care about strangers opinions.But maybe I reacted like that because it was you saying it."

"Well I think you're a rare type of person. You're confident in yourself yet still you feel distant. You're selfless and a good person at heart but you're still figuring your stuff out."

You were finding the comfort that you need right now in his words.
"I guess my puberty crisis is still ongoing."

"Maybe,you do have mood swings often."

"Only because you really know how to push my buttons."

You guys stayed longer than planned you didn't even notice how much time has passed.

He had been wearing a baseball cap.He took it off to fix his hair that was tied into a short pony since his hair was uneven.It was pretty hot inside so you fanned yourself with your hands.He took of his hairband and handed it to you.

You tied your hair up.He looked at you with wandering eyes.

"What is it?" you broke his transe.

"Nothing.It's just my first time seeing you with your hair back.It suits you nicely."

"Thanks" you said in a soft tone while fixing yourself up.

Soon after you guys made your way to the exit.Jungkook went to pay and you made your way out.

A lot of people recognized you.

One of them - Jaehyun who also had the chance to recognize Jungkook.
