7 Days on Paper

Un

Trigger Warning!

"What?" Jin glared at me when I accidentally looked at him. I rolled my eyes, replied,

"What? I want to see Hoseok from here, and your fat face is blocking my view." We're now inside the math class, with Hoseok sit beside the fat guy, Jin. Hoseok is... well, shining when he sat beside Jin. I mean... who can deny the sunshine?

But then, Jin got called by our math teacher.

"Kim Seokjin, come here and solve the equation." The strict math teacher, point at the question with the tip of his teaching stick. I saw Jin visibly gulped down his saliva before went to the whiteboard, all sweaty.

"You fool! That's why you should pay attention when i'm explaining!" exclaimed the teacher loudly, that the whole class start to laugh at the fat boy. I shook my head, amused by Jin's toughness against their harsh word.

Later when break time, I secretly follow Jin when he walked out from our class, stomping his foot like he's an elephant which escaped from the zoo. We're walking down the corridor, with Jin few step ahead of me. I almost laughed at Jin who nearly tripped when I saw Jin suddenly fainted.

Right in front of me!

So me, being the heartless guy and coward I am, quickly ran back to class, pretend as if nothing happened. Seconds later, almost everyone who saw Jin fainted on the ground laughed at him, throw their fruits or foods, stained all his sweater and pants. At this rate, I bet no one want to pick him up because he's just too fat.

I can actually lift him up easily because of my well built body. But why waste energy over some fat pig?

"Hey! Hey! Stop it you guys!" a deep voice boomed throughout my class front corridor. "You should help him, not bully him!"

I can tell from that voice, that's Taehyung. Euwh, why bother to carry him up, I thought. Taehyung, Park Jimin's boyfriend, also my bestfriend. He's kind and polite. But no one knows that he's been cheating behind Park Jimin's back with so many girls. It's not that he's not loyal. It's just, he regret his choice to ever chose Park Jimin and he doesn't dare to tell the brunette.

Taehyung and Jin was gone from the corridor. Maybe to the School health unit. Not my business, anyways.

.

"Fuck man, Jin is too heavy for my arms," Taehyung joked off when we're inside his car on way back home. I giggled.

"Then why you volunteered to pick him up? Just left him be."

"Nah. Maybe he's fat but i'm not a heartless guy," Taehyung said calmly. And his sentence somehow stung my heart.

Hell, I am indeed heartless.

"Jin is not bad actually. Maybe I'll break up with Jimin and try to confess to Jin," Taehyung stated, lost in his own deep thoughts.

But that thoughts is what snapped me back from my brief slumber.

"What!? You crazy? You'll make Jimin bully Jin more!"

"I don't care, Jungkook. Maybe when he's with me, i'll try to make him workout so that his body can get a lot thinner. Yeah, that's it. I'm doing it, now."

"You're a jerk." I commented, somehow worried about Jin.

"Said the one who's always watching Jin gets bullied but done nothing. You're more than a jerk," Taehyung stated, sarcasm. I gulped at his words. That's right.

Why? I always watch him got bullied. I never thought, even once, to help him from all this. Why can't I just help him? Is it because i'm afraid? Is it because I don't want to have a finger in the pie?

Or is it because... I know that how hard I help him, the bully wont stop?

"Fuck." I cursed. We soon arrived at my house. I got down the car and slammed his car door without bidding goodbye.

.

"Jimin!" I can hear Taehyung's voice called out to Jimin. Jimin turned to face him. His face quickly lit up when he saw Taehyung came from his class to our class. Well, maybe I haven't tell you this, but Jimin, Jin and I are in the same class.

Author : In Indonesia, our class is not per subject. The student is 40, the same people you've got to see for 1 year straight. I know that in Europe maybe your class is per subject like math class, computer class, etc. But we're not like that. I think every Asian school is like Indonesian's.

"Let's break up," he uttered, and Jimin face immediately turn in to a frown. His face laced with anger. He was about to open his mouth to answer Taehyung, but Taehyung beats him to it.

"Because I think I like Jin more than you!"

Silence. Somehow, the whole class listened to Taehyung's confession, including Jin who's now looking at Taehyung as if the latter had grown two heads.

"What the fuck!? Come again!?" Jimin dared.

And Taehyung didn't think twice before he replied, "Let's break up, I think I like Jin more than you."

Jimin inhaled a deep breath, before he release it calmly. He then faked a sweet smile at Taehyung. Something about his smile is dangerous, I thought.

"Fine. Let's break up," and my jaw dropped at Jimin's word. What!? Is he serious!? For all I know, Jimin is head over heels for Taehyung.

I almost patted my chest to calm my racing heart down, thinking that Jimin will just let it slide.

But, I was very wrong.

.

And here I am, watching Jin got beat in to pulp by Jimin. Jimin, although he's short, he mastered taekwondo and even kendo. Not wonder he's been kicking the hell out of Jin every now and then.

And I could only squinted my eyes shut when a crack sound heard by my ears. That must hurt as hell. Taekwondo punch is no joke.

"You- fucking- bitch! Manwhore!" Jimin screamed angrily. It's afterschool, so there's no one to witness his evil side except me and Jin.

He kicked Jin in his face, "You."

and then on Jin's belly, made the fat shakes quickly. "should."

and last blow, Jimin punched Jin from below, landed straight at his jaw, "DIE!"

and yeah, Kim Seokjin, laid on the bathroom floor, unconscious. Jimin breathed out heavily. Sweats covered all his face, wet his school uniform. He then slowly stood up and walk to the sink to wash his hands.

But my heart almost dropped when I saw droplets of blood near his lips to his chin. Heck, Jin could die if I only leave him here.

So I quickly hide behind the bush, waits for Jimin to get out from the male bathroom. Not so long after, Jimin come out with his backpack, ready to head home.

I went back to the bathroom and saw Jin laid lifelessly on the floor. His face is ruined now with bruises and black blotch. Not to mention his lips is chapped, and his left eyes area is all purple.

I felt something wet my cheeks. It's my tears. I couldn't hold it in anymore.

I cried while carried him outside. I placed his arms on my shoulders, slowly made our way to school gate. The security who saw us stands up alarmed.

"Hey! What happened to him?" the curious and extremely worried security pointed at Jin. I shook my head, hailed a cab and brought him to hospital.

"Jin, I think you should go to other school," I whispered beside his ears, somehow I hope for him to listen.

Although I know he's not.
