The School Hunk is Taken | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 24

This two-week excursion was finally coming to an end. On the last day, we all got together for one final dinner.

The cook excelled himself and made a full fish feast for us. Steamed fish, stewed fish, grilled fish, fish head soup....all of these were on the table. When I looked at the delicious food on the table, I immediately forgot all my feelings of disappointment.

Jennie was also a foodie. In her eagerness, she accidentally got a fishbone stuck in her throat. These fishbones were hard, and it was very difficult for her to swallow. When we were all panicking, Taehyung, with the aid of a flashlight, calmly reached down her throat with two fingers. In a low voice, he assured her, "Don't be nervous....!"

Rose came to me and whispered, "Taehyung is so cool...."

I was speechless.

In the next moment, Taehyung pulled out a a fish bone with his fingers. It was approximately two centimetres in length. Everyone was shocked at his skill. I was the only one who was looking at the whole event with silent sadness....this was the nth time that Taehyung as a hero saved the beauty. But the beauty was once again not me.

While every one was eating, Taehyung carefully deboned a piece of fish and placed it in the dish of Jennie.

I was saddened so much that I no longer felt anything.

The next day, all of us packed our stuff. The two brothers went straight to the train station while the others went to the bus terminus. Jennie chose a silly reason to accompany her to B city.

As I looked at Taehyung and Jennie in the car and waved good bye to them, my heart hurt tremendously. Suddenly, Jennie got down from the car and came running to me. I thought she was going to really miss me and wanted to hug her, she grabbed my collar and pulled me close me to her. In my ear, she whispered, "You better let go the idea of  Kim Taehyung. Otherwise I will kill you".

I was so shocked that cold sweat flowed down in two rivulets to her shoulder.

After Jennie and Taehyung  left, Jungkook and I were the only ones left for the ride to the interested bus terminus. I scratched my head and looked at Jungkook in surprise. The guy was supposed to fly to Busan in the evening, I thought he was going to be in the same car with Taehyung. But he refused to go with them and I had no idea why. Jungkook was neither shy nor sensitive, so everyone knew that he would never forgot the taxi just because he would was worried about being a third wheel between the two of them.

Jungkook looked at me and smiled, "Suddenly, I feel like travelling".

I scratched my head, "Travel? Where are you going?"

Jungkook said, "I am tired of going to touristy places. I want to go to the countryside and enjoy nature in all its untainted glory".

"Oh ok, good bye". I held up my ticket and started to look around for the bus I was supposed to take. Where Jungkook was going had nothing to do with me after all.

But I heard him muttering to himself, "I have no idea how much a hotel in the countryside costs. How much do you think it would be per day?"

My ears perked up, "Where are you planning to go?"

Jungkook shook his head with a blank look.

This time I said, "This year, farmhouses are the in thing. Hotels in the country are too expensive. What's your budget?"

Jungkook put up two fingers.

"Twenty?" I asked, my arms over my waist, "Are you dreaming?"

Jungkook smiled, "Four thousand".
