FORBIDDEN FRUIT | Jeon Jungkook

CHAPTER 1

Almond-Academia University Institute, Thursday, 8:20 AM

It was a beautiful sunny day as Jungkook made his way to school, heavy steps burdening his state of mind. As much as he wanted to deny it, the boy was bothered by something. He dropped his bag as he took his seat, near the window, ready to check his phone for the nth time since 8:00 AM. No matter how hard he tried shrugging that thought off of his head, it was no use, it was as if he could live his life in peace if he didn't have answers.

"Sixteen hours...really...sixteen hours ....and no reply...." He stared at the screen of his phone "Since when, does she think that she's entitled to spam me with countless texts and suddenly stop as if it was okay??" he scoffed, completely offended by the lack of notifications on his phone "So damn annoying..." he ruffled his hair before grabbing his laptop from his bag and convincing his own self one last time "Just stop it, it's no use thinking of this stuff when I have finals in a few weeks. Good riddance, let's just focus on school, delete that number and forget about whatever happened. Focus on school, delete the number, and forget about --" he gasped as he felt a hand on his shoulder

"Is that your own version of 'conceal, don't feel, don't let them know' from Frozen?" Jimin chuckled as he sat next to Jungkook

"As if I had the time to be singing Disney songs." Jungkook rolled his eyes

"Then, what's up with your incantation? Is it a new ritual to get good grades on midterms? Because if it is, then hook me up, boy. I need some serious magical support from the gods." He nudged his friend "Jungod, please grant me the power of unlimited brain power." He grabbed Jungkook's hand as he pressed it against his own forehead "Energy transfer"

"With the kind of grades you get, you probably need more than magical 'support' from the gods. You need something superior, Jimin-ah."Jungkook snatched his hand away

Park Jimin or should we say, the guy who earned the title of 'God of sensual pheromones' in the Health sciences department, was Jungkook's best friend and his roommate. Those silver locks, pink lips, and outrageously perfect jawline were few of the reasons why women were infatuated with him. He was a dreamer, optimist, and a naughty flirt. You could call him the complete opposite of Jeon Jungkook. Like people often say that opposites attract, and their friendship was the fruit of that belief. Never could Jungkook ever imagine himself without Jimin, even if he would try denying it with every fiber of his body.

"I got a sixty in Algebra and you know how that's going to affect my GPA." He held on jungkook's shoulders "Take responsibility Jungkook, you know we can't drop out of college or else it will affect our baby's future--"he replied in a whiny voice

"This crazy bastard. Take responsibility for what?! And why do you include me when you talk about dropping out? My 4.0 is doing just fine and will remain at its stellar spot, even if the world turns upside down." Jungkook scoffed "And, please, since when do we happen to have a baby? We. Don't. Have. A. Baby." he turned on his laptop, ready to take a look at his notes for the day

"My PS4 is our baby, and if we don't provide enough, we will have to sell it, and you know how I feel about having to give up on my children" Jimin took off his baseball jacket, revealing his shirt, accentuating his well-built body

Jungkook rolled his eyes as girls sitting next to them, were squealing and gossiping because of Jimin. It was no surprise that a female magnet like him would make people erupt into fits early in the morning. Unlike Jimin, Jungkook was not a natural around women and he only was comfortable around those who were very close to him, which somehow made him more enticing in some girls' perspectives. The idea of wanting something you cannot have was quite tempting in some people's point of view.
