The Introvert

Chapter 15

JUNGKOOK

"Ji...yong oppa? Oppa!"

I thought my head would snap as I turned to face my girlfriend who just pet go of my hand and ran towards a stranger. My blood boiled at the sight.

"Aigoo my Lalice!" The guy said as he hugged my Lalice. "You look so pretty. How are you here by the way?"

Lisa--who was smiling ear to ear looked over to me and grabbed my hand.

"Oppa, I'd like you to meet--"

"Ya, Lalisa. Didn't I tell you to focus only on me? I should just let you wear a mask or break your legs to stop you..."

Yeah I'm pissed. But Lisa just giggled.

"Jiyong oppa, this is Jeon Jungkook. He's my boyfriend," Lisa introduced me while holding my hand. "Kookie, this is Kwon Ji Yong, dashing uncle. Remember the guy I talked to you about? My eomma's youngest brother?"

Uncle?! The famous uncle Jin hyung and Lisa talked and raved about 'coz he's a rockstar doctor or something. I'm screwed.

"O-oh... A-Annyeonghaseyo..." I bowed.

"It's nice to finally meet the man my Lalice was constantly talking about," he said then put his arm on my shoulder. "So let's talk about that this you're gonna do to my darling niece's legs..."

I looked over to Lisa who was chuckling as she followed us with her gaze. She mouthed "Fighting!".

Who calls their uncle 'oppa' anyways? Aish.

"Guys," Ji Yong sunbae called a group of guys as we approached them. "Meet our baby girl's boyfriend, Jungkook."

Four guys immediately looked at me like I was some kind of criminal or something. I gulped.

"A-Annyeonghaseyo sunbaenims. I'm Jeon Jungkook." I bowed 90 degrees and remained like that for a full minute. Why am I such an awkward person?

"Are you japanese?" A pink haired hyung who was quite tall asked. "You're too formal dude. Are you sure you're Lalice's boyfriend?"

"A-Aniyo," I immediately denied me being Japanese.

"You're not Lisa's boyfriend?" The brown-haired hyung with bangs covering his eyes said.

"I-I am her boyfriend but I'm not Japanese," I explained. I'm sweating beads right now.

"How old are you?" A man with platinum blonde hair asked.

"I'm twenty--"

"Where do you live?"

"I'm staying at a dorm right now--"

"What course do you take?"

"Enginee--"

"How did you meet our baby gir--"

"Ya! Quit it guys!" A feminine voice interjected. She looked very familiar. "Stop scaring Lalice's cute boyfriend."

All boys immediately stopped.

"Hi! I'm Kwon Dara. You must be Jungkook?" She shook my hand and smiled. She was really pretty. Blonde with silky white skin that matches her white gown. "I'm Lalice's aunt-in-law."

Aunt-in-law? That means...

Lisa's uncle Ji Yong possessively wrapped his arm around Dara.

"Unnie!"

Lalisa ran pass me and hugged the woman tightly.

"Baby girl! Wow you look stunning!"

"Thank you unnie! I missed you so much. Where's Haru?"

"She's at home with father-in-law. You know him, he adores his grandkids so much."

Wait, she already has a kid? With that figure? I wonder if it'll be similar with Lisa?

Aigoo. What am I thinking?

I awkwardly just stood there before Lisa turned around and clung onto ky arm.

"Unnie," she called her aunt. It's really weird when she calls her aunt 'unnie'. "My boyfriend is really handsome, isn't he? I did good, right?"

Dara noona looked at me then smiled.

"You did terrific, baby girl. He's even more handsome than your oppas here."

"Ya!" Her husband whined.

"He's really handsome, yeobo. Just accept it, arraseo?"

"You'll regret that later, yeobo..." Then he whispered something to her. Dara noona slapped his shoulder. Jiyong hyung grinned.

"Aigoo... these two just won't stop." The pink haired guy said. "I'm Seunghyun. Lisa's handsome oppa."

"Ya! I'm more handsome than you, bingu Hyun!" The one with platinum hair exclaimed. "I'm Seungri. Just call me handsome."

"More like Pabo if you ask me," Seunghyun hyung whispered but I'm sure it was audible enough for Seungri hyung to hear.

"Ya!"

"I'm Daesung," the guy with bangs said and smiled. "Just don't mind them. They're all weird but cool. Oh, you're an ambassador?"

He was looking at the small badge pin on my chest. I nodded.

"Heol. We were ambassadors too," he said. "I represented the Nursing department back then. Wow. It seems like they're still keeping the tradition alive here."

He looked at the hyungs and smiled. They were all still together and friends. I guess we'd be just like them someday, five years from now. Still together and still friends. I noticed Lisa looking at me and smiling.

"Though of your friends, huh?" I nodded. "You guys will be just like them. Friends for life. I know you will."

"Yeah, I know."

We excused ourselves and went back to my hyungs. Suga hyung was with Irene, a business major as well and Hobi hyung was with Lisa's friend, Seulgi. Namjoon hyung did not bring any date.

"Nobody said I can't go alone, right?" He looked cool saying that. But I know he just chickened out.

"Seulgi unnie," Lisa said. "I didn't know you knew Hobi hyung?"

"We're cousins," she explained. "He was planning on inviting Wendy but he got rejected. Again."

"Ya!"

"Don't you raise your voice at me!"

"Mianhe..."

My forehead creased as I saw Suga hyung throwing daggers (glares) at Taehyung and Jennie. The two were busy talking with each other and looked like they're having the time of their lives. I sighed. My hyungs are weird.

My phone then suddenly rang.

"Yeoboseyo?"

"Jungkook? Hi. This is Eunha. I'm sorry to bother you but its an emergency..."

"Wae?"

"I-It's SinB and Jackson. I-I'm at their dorm and he's u-unconsious. I-I don't know what to do..." she started to cry. And the signal was terrible.

"No!"

BANG!

Then the call ended.

"Hello Eunha? Hello?!"

Lisa looked at me with worried eyes.

"Kookie? Is there something wrong?"

"It was Eunha. She called from Jackson's dorm and there was a gunshot--" Lisa gasped.

"We need to call for help!"

"Do that and I'll go over to check--"

"It's dangerous!"

"But SinB noona and Jackson hyung might be in trouble. I need to see if they're okay. I'll be right back. Just call the cops, okay?"

I didn not let her finish and ran outside. The university banquet hall was just a few blocks away from the dorm.

As I got to the lot, I saw Jackson hyung on the grass lifeless.

"Hyung!" I shook him but he remained imobile. I was gonna check if he still had pulse but a loud gasp stopped me. "Lisa! What are you doing here?!"

"I followed you 'coz I was worried." She crouched down and checked if Jackson hyung still had pulse. "He's still alive but his pulse is very weak. He's loosing to much blood. We have to call an ambulance--ahhh!"

Blood oozed from her shoulder.

"Lisa!" I immediately went over to her side and scrambled to get my phone. I dialled 911. "Hello? There's an emergency in IUSEA block 7--aw!"

I felt a sharp pain on my shoulder.

"K-Kookie!" Lisa exclaimed.

"Wow, you're such an i***t, you know that?"

I looked over to the person who owned that voice.

"You!"
