Brand New Girl (A Tzukook Fanfic)

~16~

~Tzuyu POV~

Ok... new day-

"Tzuyu-ah!!"

I groaned loudly when I saw Sakura running towards me, an alarmed look on her usually calm face. "Can't I just get one day without anything happening?!" I complained as she pulled me in the direction of the lockers. She ignored my whining and immediately led me in front of my locker, where the other girls are.

There was a sticky note stuck to the door.

Hey princess, really liked your outfit yesterday! Especially the boots. They were so good, in fact, that I think you wouldn't be needing those old shoes of yours, you know, the ones that you used to wreck my brain. So I did you a favor and dispatched them. Hope those weren't your favorite, cuz you won't be getting them back anytime soon!!

I frowned and ripped the paper to shreds. "Where's..." I started to ask but trailed off when  I saw that everyone was looking up.
He did not-
"What the hell?!!" I yelled in shock when I saw my yellow sneakers glued to the ceiling, the strings stuck to the roof of the school.

Tears started to well up in my eyes as I stared at the pair hopelessly. Those were in fact my favorite pair. I rarely asked anything from eomma and appa, so when they bought those sneakers for my birthday last year, they quickly became one of my most used pairs.

So you can understand that when I saw the smug look of the jerk amongst the crowd, I absolutely exploded.

"How dare you?!!" I screamed. It was like a dam broke inside me and a sob escaped my lips. "How fucking dare you?!!"

Someone wrapped their arms around my waist and pulled me back so fast that I was sure I got whiplash. I fought to hit whoever was stupid enough to stop me from attacking the bitch but quickly realized that it was Taehyung pulling me back.

And the dude had a very hard grip. So hard that I would've been out of breath if I hadn't been so angry.

"What did I ever do to you?!" I demanded, glaring daggers at him. He had the audacity to look shocked. "All I ever wanted was to have a nice school life, hang out with my friends and just live my life. I just wanted to attend school and you made me dread every. single. motherfucking. day!!! ALL BECAUSE I STOOD UP TO YOUR SKY HIGH EGO WHEN EVERYONE WAS JUST TOO COWARDLY TO DO SO!!!"

"Tzuyu," Taehyung breathed, hissing when I clawed his arms. "Tzuyu, calm down."

I took a shaky breath and slumped against him, sobbing loudly. The jerk could lock me inside any room, can get me in trouble, can get me kicked out of this goddamn school, but I would never allow him to do something to the things that hold a very special place in my heart.
"Tzuyu-"
"Come on, Tzu." Taehyung whispered and started to pull me away from the crowd. "Let's get you out of here."

~Jungkook POV~

I watched the two of them leave, blocking out Lisa and the other's yells at the silent crowd. I only came back when Jin hyung patted my back. "Hey, you ok?"
Nayeon hummed from beside him, still looking up at my masterpiece. "I've never seen Tzuyu explode like that." I heard her murmur.

Jihyo looked over and nodded. "I think we were all surprised."

I winced softly, ignoring the pang in my chest when I remembered the look on her face. I never meant to hurt her like that, that was supposed to be a harmless joke.

Clearly, I didn't know Chou Tzuyu enough.

"Why did you do that anyway?" Nayeon asked, genuine curiosity on her face. Jin hyung glared at her and nudged her shoulder. "What? It's a perfectly normal question!!"

I breathed out a sigh and looked away. "I-I don't know..." 
"You don't know?" Jihyo echoed, intrigued. My gaze hardened into a glare. "I don't know, Park." I growled and rolled my eyes.

Suddenly, I heard Tzuyu's heartbroken screams in my mind, making me close my eyes and sigh, letting the guilt take over me.
What have you done now, Jeon?! That is what you get when you let your emotions get the best of you.

~Tzuyu POV~

"You really need to stop seeing me like this..." I murmured while wiping my eyes with the cloth he gave me.

Taehyung chuckled, running a hand through my hair as I leaned against him. "Then I suggest you stop crying then," He joked, amusement flickering in his dark eyes when I shook my head. "Because comforting you is basically my job."
