Throughout the class, I noticed Jungkook kept looking outside the window, mostly at the dark sky while Mr Pyo was explaining something about History war. “So the war begins at the year of 1635 and it was-“ “It’s 1634.”  Jungkook suddenly interrupted Mr Pyo’s lecture, still keeping his eyes at the view outside. “Excuse me?” Mr Pyo widened his eyes while the whole class fell into a great extreme silence. “The war happened at the year of 1634... Not 35.” Jungkook said calmly. “That’s... ridiculous... The book says 1635 a-and I’ve read tons of books... I-I am not wrong...” Mr Pyo started to stutters his own words. “I’m not saying you’re wrong... I’m saying the book is wrong.” Jungkook said. “But the book is written perf-“ “It’s 1634.” Jungkook repeated his answer.  I could see Mr Pyo went silent for a second and suddenly he smiled widely... “Ah! That’s right... It’s 1634... I remember now... Thank you, Jungkook.” He said and continued the lesson. I knew instantly that he just compelled Mr Pyo. Jungkook went back staring at the sku while I could hear the whispers from our classmates around us on how amazing he was. Jimin gave me a quick look from across the classroom and I just replied him a slight smile as he also did the same thing to me but I could see that even he was weirded out by Jungkook.    “What are you up to? I thought you hated the idea of us getting involved with human? And now you’re admitting here?” I asked as soon we were at the rooftop of the school.  He shoved his hands in his pockets and finally rolled his eyes away from the sky.  “I changed my mind...” He sighed.  “You changed your mind?... Over one night?” I asked sceptically. “Yup...” I frowned by his short and unclear answerd. I was getting insanely irritated by the responds he gave me. “Why are you doing this?” I asked as my hands crossed against my chest.  He came closer to me and the intensity gaze he gave brought me this slight chills around my body... It was different... He was different... “I’m here because I need to look out for you, Yoori... We are as good as dead if the humans found out about our existence... and your relationship with that human boy will only confirm your own death.” He said emptily. “ I know exactly what will happen if they found out... I’m not going to jeopardize ourselves... Why can’t you trust me?!”  I practically raised my voice at him while all of the sudden a breeze flew harshly at us and the blue sky darkened with grey clouds. Ignoring the weather, he held my shoulder tight with his hands. “It is him I don't trust, Yoori!” He yelled. At the same time, a thunder was heard loudly above our heads. “WELL, I TRUST HIM!!! THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD TRUST ME!”  I barked back and at the same time, the strong wind blew directly right at us as we stood at the highest level of the building. Instead of fighting back, Jungkook immediately turned her glare at the dark hollow sky, pulling me closer to him by grabbing my wrist as if he was shielding me from something when the weather suddenly turned a lot worse.  “Are you guys seeing this? What’s with the sky?” Suga emerged from the entrance door and went to my side, making me standing between him and Jungkook. “Maybe it’s going to rain...” I said the obvious answer I could think of.  “No... Something feels off.” Jungkook said silently under his breath but I could hear him. I turned my head aside to look at him.  “We should get back inside.” Suga said.  Without a second to waste, Jungkook dragged me off the rooftop and we went back down the stairs, leaving Suga up there alone.  Suga followed us from behind in a second with a hint of grunt escaped from his lips as Jungkook continued to drag me somewhere.  When we reached the hallway, I yanked my hand back from his grip, causing him turned instantly and faced me. He looked as if he was hurt by my action but he then let out a long sigh afterward. Before he could say anything, Jimin showed up at the corner of the hallway. “Hey, I was looking for you.” He said while walking headed to me. “Hey, sorry... I was... I was-“ “She was showing me around the school.” Jungkook intervened. I raised my eyebrows a slight as I didn’t expect him to cover for me. “I see... Welcome... Yoori never told me that you’re transferring here.” Jimin said. “It’s a last minute decision.”Jungkook replied back coldly. The two of them just intensely stared at each other after while Suga and I stood awkwardly beside them. Suga gave me a look, telling me to do something about them. “Sorry I didn’t join you in the cafeteria... Have you had anything?” I went to Jimin’s side and asked him. “Ah! Yeah, I did... But... Have you guys notice the sky today? Everyone completely crept out... It was perfectly sunny a couple hours ago... It suddenly look like a storm is coming...” Jimin went to the hallway window and looked out of it. “Y-Yeah. It probably gonna rain any second...” I went to his side. I could see at the corner of my eyes that Jungkook and Suga left moments later, leaving me alone with Jimin at the hallway.  “He hates me, doesn’t he? Jeon Jungkook...” Jimin asked as soon Jungkook and Suga were out of our sight. “He’s... complicated... Don’t worried yourself about him.” I said. I didn’t even bother to lie as Jimin himself could clearly see Jungkook’s cold treatment towards him. “He’s your first family member I’ve met... I want him to like me.” He said, smiling at his own words. I remained quiet next to him. “Let’s go or we’ll be late for math...” He broke the silence and took my hand with him.  After the school, the weather remained the same. I was getting wary of the condition and so were the other students as we all looked up at the sky when we stepped out of the school building. “Will you be okay walking home?” Jimin asked when we stood at the entrance gate of the school. “Yeah... I’ll be fine...
