Chapter 2

The following day, Jimin arrived at school, feeling completely exhausted. Who could really blame her though? Her secret had just been discovered, and now she was at some puppy-looking brat’s mercy! 

She let out a long sigh, before stepping inside of her classroom. And to her utmost surprise, Minjeong was there, sitting down on her seat at the very last row, pensively gazing through the window.

Their gazes met for a second, before Minjeong mindlessly turned back to look through the window again, her lips curled into a small smirk. And honestly, Jimin doesn’t understand how this girl could possibly be so calm after everything that happened. Like sure, they haven’t done anything per se, but it was the closest Jimin had ever been to kiss someone before! And she has the audacity to smirk about it as well? 

Honestly, Jimin felt totally self-conscious about what happened the day before, while Minjeong looked completely… unfazed. What a brat!

“Heya Jimin!”

Jimin turned her head, and noticed one of her classmates cheerfully waving at her. Jimin knows that her name is Shin Ryujin, and that she’s part of the soccer team. 

“I can’t believe you managed to do it!” 

Jimin tilted her head to the side, curious. “Did… what?”

“I’m talking about Kim Minjeong! Since you’re the class prez, you made her come to school, right?”

Well, bullseye. But little does this girl know why and how exactly Jimin got Minjeong to come to school. And honestly, she really doesn’t need to know.

“Hmm, she’s pretty cute, isn’t she?” added a pink haired girl with a small grin. Uchinaga Aeri, one of the first friends Jimin made when she enrolled in this highschool.

“Should we talk to her?” asked another student, who Jimin knows as Jeon Somi, the girl Aeri always is with. 

Aeri smirked. “She seems like the nonchalant, chic type, doesn’t she?”

Somi excitedly nodded. “Mhm! We should definitely try to get closer to her!” 

Jimin let out a small sigh, her gaze absentmindedly falling on Minjeong’s side. Honestly, she knows that Minjeong was in the same middle school as her, but that’s basically it. Aside from that, she knows close to nothing about the blonde. But if she can get closer to her, then maybe she can get some dirt on her… and then she would be freed from this weird deal they’ve made!

The classroom’s door opened, revealing the teacher’s figure. Ever so the model student, Jimin fixed her posture, her gaze fixed on the blackboard in front of her. Minjeong has been invading her head too much lately. She can’t afford to be distracted from classes this much.

Focus, Yu Jimin!

***

Her class’ next period was sports, something that Jimin particularly likes. It always feels good to move her body a little, and apparently, judging from Ryujin’s obvious excitement, soccer was on the menu today. And Jimin loves soccer! 

She settled with her friend group, and started to kick the ball back and forth with Ryujin. As a warm up, the whole class was taking turns in shooting penalties. And sadly, Jimin was stuck waiting for the moment. 

However, her attention soon got snatched by a now familiar blonde head, who was approaching the ball. 

Minjeong adjusted her position, before lifting her leg back. Jimin doesn’t know if Minjeong even plays sports, but her form itself truly looked beautiful, as if she had years of experience under her belt. She couldn’t help but to hold her breath as she saw Minjeong’s leg dangerously get closer to the ball. 

However, Minjeong… completely missed the ball, and ended up falling face first on the floor, disoriented by her movements. 

“Kim, are you okay?!” one of her classmates said. Minjeong was still on the floor, her face firmly planted against the grass. Said classmate turned towards Jimin, her tone rushed. “Class prez! You need to bring her to the nurse’s office!” 

“C-coming!” stuttered the raven, who basically lifted Minjeong all by herself in her arms, ready to carry her to the nurse’s office as soon as possible. Being tall and having pretty broad shoulders has its perks sometimes!
