Chereads / Wealthy and Rich / Chapter 8 - Chapter Seven: SEVENTEEN!

Chapter 8 - Chapter Seven: SEVENTEEN!

As you expected, the place was stunning 

It looked like a whole new restaurant compared to the school canteen's hall

He thought he had seen it all when saw the school canteen's hall not knowing these people have had much more astounding and mind blowing things hidden under their sleeves

He hadn't even had the chance to digest and well appreciate the exquisite appearance of the school's canteen hall  and the scrumptious food  they served 

He stared in awe with agape mouth while felt enchanted by the prepossessing sight ahead of him

Everything in there looked perfectly placed and-

"Come on"

Before he could get the chance to completely analyse the place, the was dragged by an enthusiastic Jimin

While he ambled behind Jimin through the spaces between the tables, he couldn't stop himself from eyeing the magnificent interior design of the place 

Jimin led them to a sectional sofa where he spotted a man sitting on, who obviously had his face buried in his phone

"Hey"

Jimin greeted 

The other man looked up and ohh

If Jimin was an androgynous man then the man sitting in front of him was an androgynous god 

He looked so ethereal and beautiful and he just couldn't stop himself from gawking at the other's beauty

Was he even real?

"Look who I  found "

Jimin chipped with a wide grin while motioning his hand in front of Jungkook as though he were presenting him

"Oh you found a gawping kid

*He snapped his fingers to Jungkook to snap him back to earth*

Hey!

Had an eyeful yet?"

"Hey don't treat him like that 

He just happens to have big eyes"

When Jungkook finally realized what he was doing, he quickly looked away with flushed cheeks

Away meaning the tarry maroon carpet beneath his shoes 

The colour looked so interesting 

He wondered if it had a meaning to it 

He kept thinking of how interesting and beautiful the carpet was until he felt a soft poke on his shoulder 

It was Mister Park Jimin

"What's your name?"

The finger he used to poke him was still prominent making it seem as though  he were pointing at him and stared back at him with a tilted head 

"Its Jungkook"

He responded regarding the other's puppy eyes

Immediately Jimin snapped head to the androgynous god 

"His name is Jungkook "

"I see and where did you find him?

Sneaking into the University to find his nona or something?"

He crossed his legs and raised a judgemental finger at the younger while  squinting 

To say Jungkoook was taken aback by the other's words would be an understatement

"Hey!

He isn't a kid

Are you a kid?"

Jimin nudged his side and whispered the last part to him to which he hastily shook his head

Honestly, how could they even think that 

Yes he was a year or two younger but he wasn't young

He was the first born in his family for crying out loud 

He wasn't just some....

Some kid trying to find his nona

Fact, he didn't even have a nona 

He felt offended inside out 

He was a lot of things but he wasn't a kid

He was seventeen!

SEVENTEEN! 

Did they know the amount of trauma he had been through, Throughout his seventeen years on earth

They didn't know at all

Funny how Jungkook was boiling on the inside but looked like a cute little potato listening to the other two bicker about his age 

"Jimin, just take a look at his face

Does he even look nineteen to you ?

How old are you?"

The androgenous god directed his last question to him

"Seventeen"

Jungkook quipped 

"Seventeen?!

*he chuckled*

That's pretty young Jimin

Are you sure he is a student here?"

He relaxed on the chair from his hunched position 

"Well tae isn't twenty either"

Jimin huff out with a pout

"At least he is nineteen 

This one is  seventeen "

"So what?

You don't like him?

Well I do like my seventeen year old friend okay"

Jimin took his arms into his and dragged him to the sofa 

He slumped down on the sofa with huff

Jungkook just gently sat his ass on the soft foam 

Everything was soft there 

His ass was being worshiped 

"Yeah whatever

Just watch that kid and tell him to watch his mouth around me"

He mumbled while he buried his head back into his phone 

He wasn't even surprised at the other's word anymore

His age really mattered, didn't it?

"What's wrong with you today?

You probably broke up with that  rascal"

"Ugh

Don't remind me

He was an ass"

He watched how the other groaned his lungs out while he threw his head back, into the neck rest of the sofa

"Yeah I told you the  second you said 'Oh that guy looks so cute' "

Jimin tried to mimic his friend while he clasped his hands together 

"You always say that Jimin"

He rolled his eyes

To be honest, sitting back to watch was getting exciting 

He wanted to see where it would end 

So he sat quietly and watched the bicker

"And you always end up breaking up with them a week or two after

Then you shower us with your shitty attitude "

Ooooo that was fire

"Hey watch your mouth you little brat"

Jimin only rolled his eyes leaned forward to reach for the menu 

He opened it agar in front of Jungkook

"Jungkook what do you wanna have 

My treat because you helped me "

He flushed him with a sweet smile 

Jungkook glanced into the book and ohh boy

He gulped 

He gulped hard 

"Umm.. I'd have anything you'd prefer"

  He answered with a cheeky smile trying not to look in the book because the amount of zeros he saw in there were blinding

He thought his eyes would bleed if he took another glance

"Why don't you like these foods?"

Jimin asked with a pout while pointing into the  book

"No not at all

They all look great

I just think you'd make a great pick since you've been here before"

There was the toothy  smile which Jimin lost himself in 

He also flush a smile as well

"Oh okay"

"So...."

He tossed his phone on the table and leaned forward with his elbow serving as a support while he placed his chin on his palm

He looked at the younger's innocent eyes with the most intimidating gaze he could muster 

"Jungkook right?"

Jungkook shyly  nodded and looked away

"Yeah"

"Do you happen to have any surname by chance?"

"Jeon"

"Jeon Jungkook?

Why are you here at the age of seventeen?

Are you that smart?

To skip classes that much?"

The older looked like he sincerely wanted to know 

Because the younger couldn't just barge into the University 

"Hyung 

Please, why else would he be here if not for some reason you are here

Huh?

He's here to have lunch can't you read between the lines?"

Jimin chuckled at his own jest while he browsed through his phone owning an irritated glare from the older

"Shut up Jimin

I wasn't talking to you "

He redirected his gaze to the younger silently urging him to speak

"Umm.. I'm here as an official student in this university to study 

And I skipped classes because..."

He paused 

"Because what?"

"Because what Jungkook?"

Jimin had even lifted his head from his phone ready to listen to what the younger had to say

"Because they said my brain was too broad for the class"

Silence

They both stared at him like he was some magician from a reality show

"That's insane

Too broad?

What  is your IQ

A thousand or something?"

Jimin asked this time 

"it's One hundred and forty five"

The older chuckled at that, ready to mock Jimin because he knew the younger's IQ didn't even reach a hundred

"That's crazy, Jimin"

He turned to the oblivious other who stared at Jungkook instead 

"Yeah

I know right

There's this guy I know , his IQ is one hundred and forty-eight"

With wide eyes, Jimin finally turned to him and that was when he noticed the glint of tease in his eyes

A scowl appeared on his face because he knew the other was up to no good

"What?!

Really?

What was your IQ again Jimin ?

Tell us we wanna know"

He rested his right cheek in his palm while he regarded the younger and batted his long lashes forgetting about the innocent Jungkook who was so innocent considering the fact that he kinda had a gist of where the conversation was headed

He sat back and watched with a hidden smile

He began to fall in love with the other two's bickering

Probably because he never had friends to ever sit and chart with apart from his family

He mostly blocked his past mates out because they were always concentrated on girls and always talking openly about their personal shenanigans

He didn't want to know when they did their one hand calisthenics in the washrooms

He rather spent those times on his books

"What's  your IQ huh?"

"I asked you first"

 

"I don't know 

Piss off

At least I can recite the periodic table"

Jimin sunk into the sofa with a huff and folded his arms over his chest

"What was-"

He was interrupted by a lady's voice before he could complete his sentence

"Hey

Are you ready to place your orders or are you gonna keep bickering"

A beautiful waitress approached them 

And Jungkook could only stare at her 

"Ugh 

You have such poor customer service"

He said with a hiss and turned from Jimin to meet her gaze

"yeah, whatever

Are  you gonna place it or not?"

She whined 

"Are you gonna place it or not?"

They both mimicked her and burst into laughter right after

A smile adored Jungkkok's lips 

The other two just looked inseparable

He looked over to the waitress who rolled her eyes at the other two, she didn't seem to notice him 

"Ugh you two-"

She began with her little note pad moving back and forth in her hand towards the other two until her eyes met Jungkook's

"Are the most annoying the world has ever seen?

We've heard that boo boo "

Jimin completed  with a cheeky smile 

"Oh hey cutie"

She turned to Jungkook and waved at the shy boy with a wide grin

"uhh...hey"

"What's your name"

She leaned towards him 

"Ju-"

"His name is uhh lemme see none of your business Tzuyu and please don't be ridiculous 

You really passing me by?

Huh?

This full course meal?

Huh?"

The older  boy said while he leaned back on the both his arms resting on the neck rest of the sofa with a smug look plastering his face

"I'd rather go for Jackson"

Immediately the older guy sat up with wide eyes and Jimin burst into uncontrollable  laughter 

It made him wonder who Jackson was?

"What?!

Jackson ?

Jac- seriously

Jackson?

Are you comparing me to that dork?

You did wrong Tzuyu

You did wrong"

He shook his head  with disappointment evident in his voice 

"Can you please order?"

She whined with foot stumping on the carpet

"Can you ple-"

The older guy began to mimic her but he was interrupted by Jimin

"The usual please

And double it I have a guest "

He slowly turned his head to Jimin with a betrayed look

"Ugh finally"

Tzuyu rolled her eyes and jogged away not before she waved and winked at the shy boy

"Bro "

He began

"What the hell was that?"

"I ordered "

Jimin responded and feign obliviousness while he  looked on his phone 

"You are such an ass you know"

He gave up and leaned back on the sofa while he also looked into his phone

"Shhh no vulgar words"

"You are-"

"Wait, where's tae?"

Jimin raised his finger into the air and left it there

It looked like he just had an epiphany 

"He isn't in yet

Call him-"

"Tae?"

But Jimin had already thought before he could think 

"Yeah?"

The other answered from the other line with little shuffle in the background 

"Bro where you at?"

Jimin placed the phone on the table and placed it on speaker 

"Uhh busy"

The other's voice filled Jungkook's ears
