It's senior year of high school, October, the leaves are turning orange and the air is getting colder, your table is packed with school works, homeworks upon homeworks, when will this end.
Your shoes made a clapping sound when you're walking down the cold tiles of your hallway, clip, clap, clip, clap.
All the students look dead inside, fair enough you thought, with college entrance exams coming up, no one is catching a break, the more privileged ones have expensive tutors preparing them and the others are left on their own, everyone is competitive as ever even tho the entrance exam will be on January, the door of your classroom made a shrieking sound when open, damn rusty old steel doors.
"Good morning everyone, today we have a new student joining us."
New student? In the middle of semester? Jesus they must be some delinquent to transfer mid session, a bully perhaps or a pick pocketer, both very bad choices.
"Hi my name is Jeon Jungkook, please take care of me."
You look towards the blackboard, he have a slender figure and pale skin, he have piercings too, you don't pay much attention to him, "Wow, a new trouble maker huh."
The new student seems quiet, he don't really talk to anyone and you never see him around the cafeteria, not that it bothers you, it just feels out of place that he would just disappear.
December air, it is cold and it is dry, it is depressing and pretty much stale, you don't find the season very appealing, you are going to spend your winter break writing essays and preparing for entrance exams, the school is just getting quieter and quieter, everyone is anxious and you can feel it, and you don't blame them, because so are you.
You hear a dozen of footsteps, running even, they seemed to be chasing something, someone.
That was when someone yanked you at the side and close the door, covered your mouth with their hands and uttered strings of apologises.
"I'm so sorry, please just for a second."
You pulled his hands off your mouth
"Dude, what the fuck."
"This group of people are chasing me, you were in the way so I accidentally yanked you in with me, my apologies."
He whispered
Now you are cornered by a random dude, squished in some public capsule toilet, what is even happening.
"Dude, get me out."
"Wait wait it's still dangerous."
You squint your eyes to look at him better.
"You! You are from my class."
"I am what."
"You're from my school."
Now he's the one squinting his eyes to look at you better, he made a "ah" sound and apologises once again.
"So sorry that this is happening, I think the coast is clear now."
He slowly opens the door, look at the streets and nodded.
"Yup you can go out now, again I'm SO sorry."
"It's fine, good luck for the entrance exams." You throw him a thumbs up.
"Yea thanks-"
"HEY! YOU THERE, JEON! STOP IN YOUR TRACKS"
"Damn it" He uttered
"Hey don't run there that's a dead end!" You screamed at him, he look at right then left, the group of gangsters, you assumed ran towards him, you grab his hands and started sprinting towards the nearest public place, you both ran and ran soon ending up in a mall, you entered a random stairway, emergency exist you assumed, and catch your breath.
