Taehyung's view

I just got out of my father's car, and straightened my clothes. Yoongi and Jimin just came around the corner and greeted me warmly. I did the same and gave them both a brotherly handshake. Jimin was my best friend. I could always count on him. No matter what I had, I could always go to him and talk my heart out.

He was really an angel. Because he had such a big heart, he never really dared to bully Jungkook. He did not prevent us, but he also did not join in. He always kept himself in the background. It did not disturb me particularly. It was a pity, but since he was my best friend I did not want to reproach him now. He was just too good-natured.

Jimin's view

This morning I went to school with Yoongi again. I loved it when we went to school together. I just liked the atmosphere when I was around him. He always made me feel good. I felt safe and secure. Even though he bullied Jungkook, he was actually a super nice and sensitive person.

I told him often enough that I didn't think it was very cool, but since I never wanted to mess with him, I left it at that. What I didn't like about school in general, including my friends, was that they were all so homophobic. I mean, what's so bad about that? Nothing. The funniest thing is that I'm well... I'm also gay... Of course nobody knew that. I really wasn't sure how my friends would react. With Jin I could imagine that he would find it okay. He doesn't care much about bullying either. He himself said all the time that he wanted to concentrate more on school.

I was really afraid that it would somehow get noticed. Because I think I liked Yoongi. Not only as a friend, but as a very good friend if you know what I mean.

But I would be tired of life if I told my friends, or even worse, confessed my feelings to Yoongi.

Yoongi was not gay, he had sex at least once with every pretty girl in the school. It hurt me when he always came over and bragged about who he had banged again and how hot it was. If he only knew.

When we just went around the corner, I saw my best friend Tae. He really is the coolest and sweetest person I knew. Tae was a person who often just needed to talk. I was always there for him. And I loved listening to him. I waved happily to him and when we got to his place, we each gave each other our fist bump. Namjoon had invented it at some point, and since then it has been custom and practice with us (?).

"Hey what's up" came tiredly from Yoongi as he greeted Tae. I loved his voice.

"Oh nothing wild" said Tae and looked to me.

"Jimin can you hear me?"

"Mhm?" I asked absently as I noticed him.

"I asked how you were doing" Tae laughed back at me. I felt caught since I was so lost in my thoughts.

"Um pretty good" I assured my best friend, and the three of us walked into the school building.

Jungkook's view

The classroom door just opened. Tae and his friends walked in. Jimin and Jin immediately sat down in their seats, and paid no attention to me. I was really glad about that. They didn't seem to have much interest in bullying me.

Namjoon gave me a 'see you in a minute' look as I walked in, while Tae and Yoongi headed for my seat.

"Well who do we have here? The little class slut!" said Yoongi, to which Tae laughed quietly.

I just stared at my table and played with my fingers. Why did I have to live in such fear every day?

"Are you ignoring us again? Oh come on" Tae grumbled with a feigned sad undertone "We taught you something yesterday, that you should have more respect!"

Towards the end, he sounded angrier and angrier. To emphasize what he said, he yanked my table aside and grabbed me by my sweater. He pulled me up from my chair.

"You're lucky we have class with Ms. Chang now. Otherwise I would have beaten you up by now... Wait out the break, you disrespectful whore!"

After that, he let go of me, and left my seat with Yoongi growling. I tugged my sweater into place, and pushed my table back towards me. I was really lucky.

Mrs. Chang was the only teacher in this school who was not homophobic, so she did not discriminate against me. She didn't like me much either because my clothes were too much for her, but she defended me when I was bullied again.
...
"Can any of you tell me the result of these equations? Jungkook how about you?" Mrs. Chang asked me and all 28 pairs of eyes were on me again.
