THIRTY THREE

Jungkook heard an exchange of words coming from outside the nurse’s office, where he was sitting on the bed, some sort of aloe vera gel on his stomach. He was quiet, hearing the loud voices.

“No, it’s not fucking okay. This is the nth time V’s bullied someone or hit someone like this. We can’t just let him do this shit.”

“Especially not to Jungkook.”

“Weren’t they friends? I saw them talking in class…”

“It’s a long story.”

“What happened to Jungkook? Where is he?” Jimin’s voice arose, and Jungkook tensed. The nurse room door burst open, and Jungkook saw a wide-eyed Jimin standing on the other side.

“Jimin-” Jungkook began, but Jimin rushed up to him and wrapped his arms around him. “Oh my god, are- are you okay?”

Jungkook inhaled sharply. “Um. Yeah.” Jungkook said. “It’s only a bruise,” Jungkook said, pointing to the red area on his stomach. Jimin frowned.

There was a silence, and then Jimin turned around. “I’m going to fucking kill him-”

“Jimin.” Eka said, also walking into the nurse’s room. She was the one that found Jungkook outside Taehyung’s room and got him here. “Don’t do shit.”

“Why the fuck not? He thinks he can punch Jungkook and get away with it?” Jimin snapped and knew there were people outside, so he quietened. “I don’t care what the fuck was going through his head- you don’t hit someone like that!”

“I know. I know that- but… let’s not jump to anything.” Eka said, and then the door opened, and Jungkook saw the new kid, Sehun. He was the one that carried Jungkook to the office.

“Hey- um- there are some people outside that want to talk t y-” Sehun began, but then the door burst open again and Lisa, Jennie, Jisoo, Rose, Yugyeom and Bambam ran into the room.

Jungkook let out a small smile, and all the girls were big eyed and hugged him tightly. “Oh!! Jungkookie, are you okay?” Lisa asked, and Bambam hugged him too. Yugyeom just watched, asking Jimin what happened.

“Yeah guys I’m- I’m fine, don’t freak out-” Jungkook said, and Lisa continued hugging him tightly. “Who did this?” Jisoo asked, worried.

“V.” Eka said, and Jennie reached into her backpack and took out a knife.

“Jennie!” Jimin gasped, and Sehun ran out of the nurse’s room.

“I’m going to kill him.” Jennie growled, but Eka grabbed her from the back of her shirt.

“Where the fuck did you even get a knife from?” Bambam asked, and Jennie sighed. “Art room…”

“Okay, look, no one’s hurting anyone. We aren’t better than him if we resort to bullying.” Eka said, and Rose scoffed.

“As if you care about bullying.” Rose said, and Eka stilled. Rose gulped. “Sorry. I’m just really mad right now! I heard he punched that other guy in the hotel too! And now hurting one of his closest friends?? Why did he even do it?”

Jungkook was looking at the wall. He gripped onto his bedsheets. “I-I don’t know,” Jungkook said softly, and Jimin patted his back.

“We won’t do anything if you don’t want us to, Jungkook.” Jimin reassured, and Jungkook looked down, suddenly remembering what he saw after Taehyung punched him.

He saw a tear fall down his eye.

“Yeah. Okay.” Jungkook replied, and then looked down, everyone went silent for a few seconds, but then Lisa began saying something about how V always bullies people for no reason. Yugyeom, Eka and Jimin just looked at Jungkook in worry.
