1. WHY ME?

The boy with the brown hair walked down the hallway, hoping for at least one person in the crowd to pay attention towards him. But the only attention he got was from Taemin, his bully.

Just as Jimin walked towards his locker to collect his books for the day, he was pinned against the wall by the tall male, staring right into Jimin's eyes. The smaller boy instantly flinched to this and his lips began wobbling. He knew he was gonna get beaten up for sure this time. Yesterday was a lucky day, since he was almost gonna get punched across the face, but his professor, Kim Namjoon walked right in time and screwed Taemin up for bullying Jimin.

But today wasn't a lucky day after all. Even in the morning, Jimin's parents scolded him for not paying much attention towards his books when all he did was only study all the time. The only time Jimin was not stuck to his books was when he would hang out with Taehyung and Yoongi, his best friends and his only friends. And this didn't happen quite often. So Jimin's parents, mostly his dad thought all this was a distraction and never allowed Jimin to bring anyone home. And so he did, he never bought anyone home, let alone even talk to anyone except for Taehyung and Yoongi.

So before he could even ask Taemin what he wanted, the other's fist connected with Jimin's jaw, making him fall to the hard ground. Tears instantly made way through his eyes, making it glisten as he cried holding his jaw. Taemin once again pulled him up and punched him across the face once more, making his plump, pink lips bleed and as a huge cut formed across his soft, milky cheek. He didn't even fight back anymore, losing all hope for someone to come and stop this. And so Taemin took full advantage of this, beating the poor boy who was on the floor, until he was finally exhausted and let Jimin go.

The now beaten up boy slowly got up from the floor, slightly shuddering in pain to the bruises on his face. He looked around to see the whole corridor empty and that's when he realized, he was late for class. Oh, how worse this just got.

"Now the teacher is gonna call my parents and tell them I was ditching class..."

And if that happened, then Jimin was sure to get beaten up by his father at home.

This life was literally a living hell for him. He hates existing.

With that last thought in mind, he grabbed his books and rushed to the class. He opened the door, entering the room with a racing heart. The minute his eyes fell on the teacher, it was as though his soul left his body. It was Mr. Bang. Bang Si Hyuk, his history teacher. And he really didn't like Jimin at all.

"Mr. Park, you're late for class, again!"

The man looked at Jimin with a stern expression, not noticing how the boy almost broke apart and was about to cry his heart out then and there. He asked Jimin to take a seat next to Jung Hoseok, one of the Golden boys of the campus.

"Mr. Park, come take a seat next to Hoseok. Oh...and you'll be staying back after class. There's a few things I wanted to discuss with you."

So he gave his teacher a small bow and sat down next to Hoseok. Then the teacher continued with his lessons for a while, and Jimin wasn't really paying attention. More so he didn't want to pay attention, all he wanted now we're his friends, Tae and Yoongi to hold him and comfort him. He hadn't really relied on his parents to give him that sort of comfort from o very young age, that's why he found himself people who would actually care about his existence.

Midway through the lesson,

"Hey!"

Jimin looked around to see who it was. When he looked towards his right, he saw Hoseok smiling brightly at him. His lips formed into a shy smile themselves as he replied.

"Hey..."

"I'm Hoseok, Jung Hoseok." (Hoseok)

"Yeah...I know. I've heard about you." (Jimin)

"You don't look so good Jimin."(Hoseok)

"Well, how else would you look when you've been beaten up..."(Jimin)

To this Hoseok had a deep frown on his face, looking at the other with sympathy filling his eyes. Even though Hoseok was one of the Golden boys, he was the most kindest one of all. He loved helping people and everyone loved him for that. So with his caring nature, he handed out a water bottle to Jimin.

"Here." (Hoseok)

"Huh...?" (Jimin)

"Drink it."(Hoseok)

"Oh, thanks."(Jimin)

"You're welcome." (Hoseok)

With that they exchanged a few smiles and focused on the class. Meanwhile...
