Episode:03

I swiped the tip of my tongue over my dry lips as the car stopped in a front of me and the passenger window rolled down.

"Get in."

He didn't raise his voice-- he never raise his voice-- but I still heard him loud and clear over the rain.

Jeon jungkook was a force of nature unto himself, and I imagined even the weather bowed to him.

"I hope you are not waiting for me to open the door for you" he said when I don't move he sounded as happy as I was about the situation.

What a gentleman.

I pressed my lips together and bit back a sarcastic reply as I roused myself from the bench and ducked into the car. it smelled cool and expensive like spicy Cologne and fine Italian leather. I don't have a towel or anything to place on the seat breathing me , so all I could do was pray I don't damage the expensive interior.

"Thanks for picking me up I appreciate it", I said in an attempt to break the Icy silence.

I failed miserably.

Jungkook don't response or even look at me as he navigated the twists and curves of the slick roads leading back to campus. he drove the same way he walked , talked ,and breathe--steady and controlled, with an undercurrent of danger warning those foolish enough to contemplate crossing him that doing so would be there death sentence.

He was exact opposite of my brother and I still Marveled at the fact that they were best friend. personally , I thought jungkook was an a** hole. I was sure he had his reasons ,some kind of psychological trauma which shaped him into the unfeeling robot he was today. based on the snippets I'd gleaned from Jhope , jungkook's childhood had Been even worse than ours, I'd never managed to pull the details out of my brother. all I knew was jungkook's parents had died s when he was young and left him a pile of money he'd quadrupled the value of when he came into his inheritance at age eighteen. not that he'd needed it because he'd invented a new financial modeling software in high school that made him a multimillionaire before he could vote.

With an IQ of 160, Jeon jungkook was a genius,or close to it . he was the only person in Thayer's history to complete its five year joint undergrad/MBA program in three years, and at age twenty-- six , he was the coo of one of the most successful real estate development companies in the country. he was a legend, and he knew it.

Meanwhile,i thought I was doing well if i remember to eat while juggling my classes, extracurricular, and two jobs--front deck duty at the McCann gallery, and my side hustle as a photographer for anyone who would hire me. graduations, engagement, dog's birthday parties,I did them all.

"Are you going to jhope's party?" I tried again to make small talk. The silence was killing me.
