As soon the entire school heard about Jungkook going berserk towards his "friend's" bullies the day before, everyone started treating the smaller nicer... They even tried to befriend him, knowing what he likes or doesn't like... Some of them found out that Jimin is really a smart kid, talented even... He loves to sing and dance, even baking and cooking... He can also draw and make sculptures, which made him instant popular to everyone... How can they hate such a wonderful person whose only desire is to finish his studies?

When Jungkook found out that other people are trying to win Jimin's attention, he doesn't think twice and took him with him on their group... His friends were beyond shocked upon seeing a baby chick beside their bunny friend... He is small and petite, with fair (almost pale) skin and shiny black hair. He seems scared to other people, to the extent that he wanted to go back to his usual spot to eat lunch... Jungkook is the one who insist that his friends are way cooler and nicer than they actual look, which made Jimin smiled...

Namjoon is the first one to warm up on the younger when Jimin commented about the book he was currently reading. "Oh! When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi, nice book! I already read that in my teacher's collection of books..."

The older quickly smiled at Jimin, too happy that he finally found someone who clearly has the same interest as him... Jungkook really choose the right person to hang out with... "Not gonna lie Kook, I like him... If you don't wanna date him, then I'll be the one to ask him out..."

"Shut up Joon! Jimin is my friend... I won't let him date you, as you already like someone else..." Jungkook snickered. "Why don't you pursue the one you really like?"

"Well, as much as I want to, he never see me as someone for him... So instead of continuing this feelings for him, why don't I find someone whom I can treat right? Maybe your friend is the one for me..." Namjoon chuckled, teasing the latter even more.

While the two is playfully bickering, Taehyung walks closer to the smaller and looks at him from head to toe... "Hmm, are you perhaps a student from provincial school before?"

Jimin nods, giving the other a shy smile. "Yes... I'm from Busan..."

"I see..." Taehyung hummed. "So why are you in Seoul? Let me guess, wanna be a model or something?"

"Ah no. Definitely not... I'm not good enough to do that..." The smaller replied, a little bit scared from the stranger.

"So have you been to Jungkook's house? Or should I say mansion?"

Jimin frowns. What is the problem of this guy? And why is he implying that he has ulterior motives when he became Jungkook's friend. "And why would I want to be there in the first place? Jungkook-hyung never initiate to invite me, which I'm thankful for, considering that a peasant like me will always be a peasant to rich people's eyes..."

Both Namjoon and Jungkook stopped bantering as they look into the two guys having a staring contest... What the heck is going on?

"Feisty... I like that..." Taehyung smirks. "But the problem is, I don't like you... Your acting like an angel in disguise disgust me the most... It somehow reflect how pathetic and weak you are..."

"But I never act, as it is truly the way I am... I know I'm weak, as I can't protect myself from bullies like you... But, if you will be more rational, you should know a person first before you judge them, not judge them before you know them better..." The younger shrugs.

Taehyung stared at him coldly. "Maybe you know by now how weak Jungkook is for you... And to be able to be saved by "the son of the school's owner" is pretty much a great start of your year, am I right?"

Oh. So this person is pretty much an asshole in Jungkook's circle of friends... He maybe handsome, but his attitude towards other people sucks... Maybe he haven't eaten anything yet, that's why he's grumpy...
"Then maybe hyung is the luckier one, considering that I let him inside my comfort zone without caring if he'll gonna judge me or not... He always comes to my boarding house after school just for us to hangout... Thus, if you think that my attitude towards him is just a show off, then why don't you look into the mirror to see who's more asshole than me..." Jimin rolls his eyes and huffs.

"Ya Jungkook-ah! Your angel is way better than what I expected him to be..." Jin claps while he's in the farthest corner of the room. "A feisty one really suits your taste..."

Jungkook's tongue poke his inner cheek, starting to feel annoyed with Taehyung's actions... When he finally found the courage to bite off his best friend's overflowing ego, Jimin is the first one to end their conversation... He doesn't want to add more fuel to the flame or they might end up having a huge fight....

"You know what hyung, why don't you learn things about me? If you find me as someone who cares for money and influence, then I'll let you kick me out of this school and never see me again... But, if you're wrong, you're gonna apologize to me for being a dick... Deal?" Jimin stated.

Taehyung rolls his eyes and hums. "Fine with me..."
Hopefully he won't embarrassed himself...
