Jungkook the popular

At Seoul High, Jeon Jungkook was the kind of boy everyone knew. Captain of the soccer team, charisma to spare, easy smiles, and a group of friends that followed his every step. He was the center of attention — and he knew it.

But everything changed when he noticed Bella Swan.

She was always sitting in the back row, with discreet headphones and her gaze lost in the pages of some book. Quiet, reserved, almost invisible… even to him. Or so he thought.

One day, in a literature class, the teacher assigned a partner project — and, for their misfortune (or luck), Jungkook and Bella ended up together.

At first, it was strange. He talked too much; she barely responded.
— You don't like to talk, do you? he asked, trying to break the ice.
— I just like to listen, she replied, without taking her eyes off her notebook.

That answer, simple and calm, left him intrigued. For the first time, someone wasn't melting in the face of his confident demeanor.

Over time, the meetings for the project became something he looked forward to anxiously. She began to smile more, and he started talking less — just to hear her.

But there was a problem: they didn't want to accept what they were feeling.

Jungkook didn't want to admit he was falling for someone who wasn't part of his "world." And Bella… was afraid of getting hurt. She knew that popularity came and went, and that feelings could be fleeting.

Still, during breaks, their eyes would meet. And when they saw each other in the hallways, a simple "hi" carried the weight of everything they were trying to hide.

Until one afternoon, after another meeting for the project, Jungkook walked her to the gate. The sun was setting, and the wind seemed to conspire in their favor.

— I tried not to care… he confessed, looking at the ground. — But it's impossible.
— I tried too, she whispered, almost inaudibly. — And I failed.

Silence settled in, and before either of them could say anything, he leaned in and kissed her.

Smiles and bruises...
