Aurora doesn't really understand why Jungkook is throwing so much shit in her face. She had tried to put their past behind them, humble herself and seek his help because she already knew that he was the best advocate to offer such around. He was doing exceedingly well in all of his courses, not even just the one that she needed help with. Anger crippled her insides, leaving her tempted to rip his head off... but she really needed this. If ever there seemed to be a time to "just take it" and get through it, it seemed to be right then.

"Wait," she says quickly, swallowing thickly, "please. I'll pay you." She says quickly, ignoring the arrogant and smug expressions riding on the faces of his friends; this was humiliating... but necessary.

Biting back a smirk, Jungkook turned back to you, frowning in mock indignance. "Do you think I don't have any money? You just never stop insulting me, do you?" Deciding you've had enough, he let up--just a little. "If you want my help, you'll have to pay up but not with money."

"Here's how it's going to go: for every week I tutor you, you're going to owe me one... favor, shall we call it? You're going to have to do something I ask." His friends snickers got louder at his proposition. Raising an eyebrow at you, he declared: "You can take it or leave it."

Aurora stared at Jungkook as he taunted her, her irritation heightening as he proves her exact suspicions correct; of course he would take this opportunity to belittle her and make her regret daring ask him for help. She had every reason to throw her hands up and just say ‘screw it’... but she cared too much.

“I just said I need help.” She points out, glancing at his friends who seem to be evesdropping a little and, just like him, they seemed amused by her being in a situation where she needed to humble herself to get the help she needed.

She swallows thickly, looked back at Jungkook and sighed through her nose. She lowers her voice.

“Look, I just need help understanding your process... or developing my own process that improves my work. Please don’t make this about some asinine feud.”

"Hah," Jungkook scoffed, rolling his eyes. This was why he couldn't help but taunt you; all he could see was you being uptight, acting as if you were better than everyone else. "You're exceedingly arrogant, you know that? You come here asking for my help, after a history of unpleasantness and you've still got a stick so far up your ass that you can't even be bothered to humor anyone."

Turning around, he strode back to his table, taking his sweet time packing his laptop. "Since you think so little of me, it's doubtful I'd be of any help to you," he said in a cloyingly sweet tone. "I'm sure there are people out there better qualified to help you, your highness." Carrying his bag, he sauntered past you, his friends walking with him.

It takes everything in her for Aurora to ignore the sneers and cocky expressions on Jungkook's friends' faces. He focuses on him instead, anxious and uncomfortable but also they both seem all-too aware of her desparation for his help. So, she listens to his demands... and she tries not to show just how much she dreads it. Instead, she takes a moment, sort of steels herself and tries to ignore the many possibilities of the things he could ask of her.

"Okay." She says, tentatively. In her mind, she tries to console herself by reminding herself that she can and will back out if things get to be too much. Jungkook wouldn't dare cross any line that could potentially ruin his reputation... she hopes.

Jungkook was surprised--he hadn't expected you to be so desperate to take the deal without protest. But he smirked again, thinking of the possibilities for what he could make you do. "Good. Since I'm Korean, we'll count it like Korean age--one favor upon start of the deal, two favors for this first week, three favors for the second week, and so on..." he drawled.

"I'm free after classes, I expect you to show up after my last class. You should adjust to my schedule after all, hmm?" Tossing his hair, he strutted out of the library, followed by his friends.

Aurora had thought to turn around and walk in the opposite direction several times leading up to this moment... it seriously felt like suck a mistake; it felt like she was just opening herself up to give Jungkook this free pass to make fun of or pick on her. They had never been good around one another, had never really held the other in high regards, so, the fact that Jungkook was essentially her best option to better herself in the course she was currently struggling in seem comically ironic.

She swallowed thickly, staring at him as he came up to her once he'd noticed her there. The library doesn't have many people in it aside from him and his friends and a few others lining the shelves or using the desktops. It's a frequent hang-out spot so it wasn't too surprising, she guessed but she did wish he was alone; it feels a little odd asking for help in front of all of his friends.

"I need help with my literature courses." She says a bit hesitantly, feeling a little awkward. "it's not maths, english or history - nothing like that, sure... but I'm struggling with this."

•━»•»🌸«•«━━━━━━━━•••

Jungkook could hardly believe his ears. In his opinion, you were too uptight--and he hadn't exactly been shy about telling you that. He never thought he'd hear you admit to him that you were lacking in anything.

"You need help, and you're telling me this because...?" he drawled tauntingly. "Is it because you need my help? And if you need my help, doesn't that mean I'm better than you?"

He crossed his arms over his chest, smirking, trying to draw the words out of you.

Aurora is a little insecure about this, unsure about what she was walking into. A tutor - obviously - but she couldn't help but wonder if it would actually end up helping at all. She had tried everything, tried to wrap her head around the psychology of building believable characters but her character studies always fell short; too perfect or too flawed. It seemed a little embarrassing, requesting a tutor for something like this... but, at this point, she was a little desperate.

Jungkook was between classes, so he was playing a game with his friends. He was on the verge of winning when he caught sight of you out of the corner of his eye.

He couldn't help but notice the unusual presence. Winning the current round, he skipped the victory celebration, and stood up and approached you. "Yes? Can I help you?" He raised an eyebrow; the two of you weren't exactly friends so he didn't know for what possible reason you stood before him.
