IN LOVE WITH MY BANDMATE {JIKOOK + TAEGI + NAMJIN + SOPE}
`° Better Off With 6 °`
Jimin sighed and slipped his phone back into his pocket. He hadn't really expected for the other to reply but as usual he had deluded himself into thinking that Jungkook would've replied this time.
He stared down at the ground, dragging his shoes across the floor of his school hallway all depressingly; and as if he was a magnet for bad luck, he bumped into someone and of course it had to be the one person he'd never even think to mess with.
Jimin
I'm so sorry. I didn't-
before he could finish speaking the guy pushes him hard and he falls to the ground. Jihyuk's friends all look down at him and laugh; pointing, mocking fingers.
a feeling of embarrassment hits him as more people start gathering around them.
Jihyuk
I wonder what people like about your dumb pathetic self, you can't even defend yourself.
Nahyun
exactly; you'd be such a better fit for the group.
Jimin hears in the distance as they all walk away leaving him with the other kids, they're all looking at him; nothing but judgement in their eyes. He feels like crying.
He guesses the best part about all this is that, Taehyung's classes started way earlier than his so he didn't get to see any of that. That's when he'd be really embarrassed.
Jimin sits in his math class; he's in the back completely zoned out. Nothing the teacher says registers to him because he keeps thinking about what Jihyuk and his friends said.
Why was he letting all this bother him?
He knows its all not true but still.
He still heard people gossiping and talking about it, he even heard one girl say, 'she'd wish she had caught the whole thing on camera so she could show the fans'.
Sometimes it confuses him how he still gets bullied; he'd thought now that he was an idol he'd never have to worry about being bullied again but it seemed it was never ending.
Jimin slowly looks up, confused and he notices the whole class was looking straight him.
He straightens his posture and responds to his teacher.
Mrs. Ga
What is the answer for question number 5?
Jimin looks up at the board and he's not even sure when all those stuff got there. it seemed they'd even started a new topic.
He opens his mouth to say something but he can't because he doesn't know anything, he doesn't know the answer.
Jihyuk
Don't waste your time on him Mrs. Ga. He doesn't know shīt.
Mrs. Ga
Language Jihyuk, and don't talk to your classmate like that.
Mrs. Ga
Jimin, I want to speak to you after classes, okay?
Jimin nods and tries his hardest to act like he doesn't notice Jihyuk staring daggers at him.
Mrs. Ga
Jihyuk, why don't you answer question number 5?
Jihyuk
okay, it's easy. 102.
Mrs. Ga
class is that the answer?
majority of the class shouts no, with small snickers but the rest just stay silent as they had no idea what the answer was.
Mrs. Ga
That's right. the answer is 21.
Mrs. Ga
see, jihyuk. you can't try to talk bad about others when you yourself aren't sure if what you've got is correct.
the class laughs at that, and jimin would too but jihyuk was just staring at him all menacingly; he's barely even breathing due to fear.
Mrs. Ga
and that goes for you all.
Mrs. Ga turns her back to the class and goes to the board. She writes two more questions before she turns back to the entire class.
Mrs. Ga
now, take these off and I want you guys to complete them for homework.
Mrs. Ga
once you've done that and your name is not Park Jimin, you may leave.
Mrs. Ga finishes before she takes a seat at her desk and starts writing in a big blue book she'd always write in.
After about 7 minutes, everyone except jimin had left the class. He'd finished writing the work off before most of the students but he wanted to make sure Jihyuk was gone gone before he went to Mrs. Ga so as soon as she was finish with him he could run home without having to run into him.
Mrs. Ga
Are you finished taking off the work?
Mrs. Ga
Jimin you have been one of my top students for so long and it's been amazing watching you grow and find what you love, which I assume is your new found love of music.
Mrs. Ga
I've seen that your group doing very well and I'm proud of you, truly but Jimin your grades are way too low compared to what I know you can do.
Mrs. Ga
so I'm asking you to please focus more on school rather your music right now, just for a little bit.
Jimin
I...I don't know if I can...the other members are giving a 120%, if I slack off then it'll affect them and I don't...I don't want to be a burden on the whole group.
Mrs. Ga
I understand that Jimin but your grade need some improvement.
Jimin
I'll do my best, Mrs. Ga.
Mrs. Ga
that's what I was hoping to hear.
Mrs. Ga
and you shouldn't be worrying about burdening any body, I'm sure your bandmates wouldn't feel that way.
Mrs. Ga
have a talk with then and see what they'll say. maybe it'll encourage you. {smile}
Jimin nods and smiles back at her.
Jimin
I have to get going now, thank you for the advice.
Mrs. Ga
You're welcome and if you need any help. I'm right here, okay?
Jimin bows before he exits the classroom, he was going to bolt straight for the school's gate but Taehyung...
He has to wait for Taehyung.
He gulps and makes his way to Taehyung's locker. He fidget nervously, he doesn't why but he feels like there was something bad that was about to happen.
and perhaps, he was psychic because moments later he sees Jihyuk and his friend turning the corner and he seemed pissed, and the moment he layed eyes on Jimin he got even more pissed.
Jimin looked away immediately and closed his eyes.
Jimin
Please don't come over here [whisper]
Jimin thinks to run, but all he can do is tremble and soon after Jihyuk is right before him.
Jihyuk
How dare you embarrass me like that?
Jimin looks at him confused but he doesn't say anything.
what was he talking about?
Jihyuk
the whole class was laughing at me.
Jihyuk
if you had just answered that dumb question Mrs. Ga wouldn't have asked me for the answer.
Jimin is tempted to tell him that if he hadn't made that remark at him Mrs. Ga would've never asked him to answer the question but he bites his lip.
Jihyuk
oh, are you dumb now? huh?
Jimin slowly shakes his head as tears well in his eyes. why won't he just leave him alone?
Jimin
I want...I want to go home, I'm sorry.
Jihyuk
[laughs, loud and mocking]
Jihyuk
oh look, the baby wants his mommy.
Jimin lowers his head as Jihyuk continues to taunt him.
Nahyun
He's so pathetic. [laugh] why are you wasting so much time on him?
Jihyuk
because I want to make sure he knows that he's nothing but a pity project.
Jihyuk
and I really wonder what your boss was thinking when he hired you to be a member of BTS.
Jihyuk
it'd be better off with 6 anyways.
Nahyun
I heard he almost got kicked off a couple times too. [laughs]
Jihyuk
oh man, Is that true?
Jihyuk
did they not want you? oh. just a pity project indeed.
Jihyuk
trust me, give it a year or two and they'll kick you off and add a new member.
Jimin shakes his head as he keeps his head down, tears tickling the bridge of his nose.
Nahyun laughs, but what else can he do, after all, he's just Jihyuk's shadow, his little minion.
Jimin just stands there trying to swallow his sobs before the other students got to him. he'd leave but he should wait for Taehyung. he can't just leave.
eventually, he realizes he won't be able to hold back his sobs so he just turns and leaves, running straight through the door. He'd find someway to make it up to the other sometime.
