A/N: Fun fact - I'm a Ravenclaw :)

Being best friends with Jeon Jungkook is interesting.

The Ravenclaw is by far the strangest person you've ever met. He's pretty random, but has a certain charm to him not many have. He's more introverted than extroverted but when he's around people he's comfortable with he goes off. Even in social situations as long as he's around his friends he'll be comfortable. It's when he's alone that he becomes more introverted. You've seen him trying to talk to people at parties... it doesn't work. Poor boy.

Jungkook hums while holding your hand, skipping down the hallway. The two of you are the crackhead friends of the school, not really caring what others think of you. Little did you know while being crackheads, Jimin is watching you. He's following and preparing to strike. You simply smile, not even remembering that Jimin exists as you and Jungkook rush down the corridor. "Ready for class?" Jungkook asks.

"Never," you groan, "I just want to get this whole day over with. I hate going to class anymore. Is that bad? Am I a bad student?"

"No one genuinely likes class except for like, nerds."

"You like class."

"I never said I wasn't a nerd," Jungkook says. Ah this man. Your best friend for life.

Without any warning, you get harshly shoved, you gasping and almost falling if it wasn't for Jungkook steadying you. "Hey what the hell man watch where you're going," Jungkook sharply says. You glance up in time to see Jimin walking in-step with you.

"My bad, I didn't see her there, I was looking at another girl," Jimin replies, looking disinterested. For some reason, your heart beats faster at the thought of Jimin with another girl, or even looking at one. Why? It's not like you care about him, he's just your enemy.

"Don't lie to yourself and us, you did that on purpose," Jungkook says.

"Okay, yeah I did, but she deserved it."

"You always bump into her, stop being such an ass for once Park," Jungkook says with an eye roll.

"Jungkook," you say. He gets the hint and backs off, you looking at Jimin. "Well? Anything you want to say?"

"If you're looking for an apology, you're not getting one," Jimin says.

"All that anger is bad for your skin."

"Says the one who looks like you." Okay that hurts. You look away and scoff, rolling your eyes like Jungkook did.

"Are you done being an asshole?" Jungkook asks.

"I was born this way."

"Who were the assholes in your family? Mother? Brother? Father?" you ask with yet another eye roll. Jimin goes quiet at that.

"What?" Jungkook demands.

"My family is dead," he replies.

Oh... oh. Now you feel bad. You go quiet, as does Jungkook. It's not really your fault, you didn't know, but it still makes you feel like a prick. "I'm so sorry," you say.

"It's whatever," he grumbles before shoving into you again, sauntering away as fast as possible.

You groan, holding your shoulder from where he hit it. "I feel bad, but he doesn't need to be an asshole about it," Jungkook states with a sigh.

"Losing a family is really hard Koo, I can't imagine what it was like. I wonder if it was later or earlier in life," you say, thinking out loud.

"I'm sure earlier, if it happened recently you'd think he'd shut down and stop going to class."

"He skips class a lot," you point out.

"True, but that's skipping to hook up with someone."

"Maybe to ease the pain?"

"You're taking this like a psychologist. I doubt he'll tell us if we ask, but that's the only way we can know for sure," Jungkook sighs, "I'm not sure I really want to know if I'm being honest. That's his business, not ours. I feel bad but he's still such an ass to you. Taking your phone and throwing it on the ground, jeez how many new ones have you gotten this past year because of him?"

You gaze down with a frown. "Five."

"Five expensive phones that he doesn't even apologize for. He shoves into you all the time, insults you, competes with you at every turn. And all because what? You stood up for Dahyun a few years ago and he chose you as his target? I think this goes beyond trauma now, this is just him being an ass." You ponder this, looking at the floor for a few moments. Jungkook guides you down the halls so you don't run into anyone, slipping his hand into yours and pulling you to class.

"Look, I know you're the sympathetic type, but Jimin's an asshole. Only that and nothing more. Of course we can feel bad for him, but also don't be scared to fight back. Everyone's been through pain, some more than others, but that doesn't mean he can treat you like shit because of it."

"Okay... I believe you."

"Good, I'm glad. Please stay close to me. I'll protect you. Always. You believe me on that too?"

"You've done a pretty good job so far, but I think I can handle myself," you cheekily reply.

"Didn't you break a guy's arm once in defense class?"

"Damn right, broke a guy's leg the week after. I got detention for going too hard."

"We have healing spells I don't know why it's such a big deal," Jungkook says.

"I don't know, but how would you feel if it was you who got the broken bones?"

Jungkook purses his lips in thought, considering this. "Good point." Ah he's such a Ravenclaw. Thinking all the time. He probably sees himself as more of a Gryffindor, but you can definitely see the wisdom and intelligence he has. It's honestly kind of amazing just how smart he is. He values knowledge, you wish he'd see that. He always thought his house was a mistake. How do you know his house but he doesn't? The sorting hat doesn't lie.

You look up and see Jimin talking to Yoongi, a fellow Slytherin but also one of your friends. Well shit. If Yoongi sees you he might want to talk to you. Hopefully he won't, not that you don't like Yoongi you just don't like Jimin, but he probably will. Jungkook senses your thoughts and hides you, keeping you behind him as you walk by. However, you manage to make out a few words of their conversation as you go. Actually, not a few words, just one sentence. A sentence spoken by Jimin.

"I hate her, I hate her so, so much..."
