chapter two.

Jeongguk quietly yawned as he packed his books up, he had fallen asleep through most of his class which would usually send him into a panic. He was a smart student that managed to ace his exams even without studying, so he wasn't too fussy about naps during class.

Namjoon had already left the classroom since the bus he took came way earlier than Jeongguk's. That left him alone in the room with some other students and also Taehyung. His presence was annoyingly prominent, he could always feel the boy near him and it would ruin his mood.

Jeongguk gripped onto his bag tightly as he heard staggered footsteps approaching him, he could already tell who it was from the irritating crying that he often heard throughout the day.

"Jeongguk, can you please listen to me?" Taehyung begged the boy, boney fingers gripping onto Jeongguk's jacket to stop him from leaving. His desperate eyes stared up at Jeongguk hhst kept a blank face, "I-I swear I didn't do anything, I-"

"You were in the room, moving papers around and coming back out after with some papers. It was all on camera," Jeongguk spat at the boy, roughly shoving him back causing Taehyung's lower back to collide into a desk.

Taehyung just hiccuped and took out a crumpled piece of paper in his pocket, he passed it to Jeongguk who rolled his eyes and took it, "Please read it, please believe me," he pleaded with a quivering bottom lip.

"Fuck off, Taehyung." Jeongguk walked past him, pushing the note into his pocket and forgetting about it immediately.

Taehyung wiped his eyes and hiccuped. He stayed in the classroom crying for a few moments since after school there'd be too many students that would pick on him.

I can't keep coming here. The boy didn't bother taking his backpack. A numb feeling formed inside of his chest as he walked to the student car park where only a few cars were left.

As expected, there was their written on the side of his door which would take hours to clean. Instead of spending time wiping it, he silently stepped into his car and sniffled.

His moves felt as if they weren't real. Taehyung felt like his hands didn't belong to him, but he started up his car anyway and began to drive anyway.

Taehyung gripped onto his car wheel tight, teary eyes ignoring the road signs and traffic lights. Car horns blared behind him, but he ignored it.

Suddenly, his phone began to rang which made him jump and glance at his device. It was his mother most likely calling him to ask if he was okay at school.

Taehyung inhaled sharply at the memories of his school days and he pressed down on the gas pedal harder, swaying on the long road and ignoring how there were angry drivers swearing at him.

He glanced to left where there were tries and most likely a ditch on the other side, and then to the right where there were cars going the opposite way.

Taehyung felt tired of having to deal with the allegations and bullying, there was nothing that he could do to convince everyone and to him there was just one way out.

He clenched his jaw and took a sharp turn left. Tired screeched painfully and if he were a bystander he'd definitely hear all the screaming and cars honking at the scene.

A cry left him when he felt his head slam against his car window, he couldn't tell what was going on as his car was rolling too fast to process anything.

Jeongguk stared at the cars outside of his room, hands on his study desk and a note in front of him. He hadn't read it yet, knowing it was going to be something stupid like him begging to be forgiven.

After some time of resisting, he curiously picked it up and read it with an annoyed face.

'jeongguk, I'm really sorry that you're always stressed in university because your scholarship got taken, but I swear I didn't swap any papers or change anything. I know it's hard to believe because I was the only one in the camera footage that went in there during that time but I promise that it wasn't me. I'm really sorry and I wish I could do something to make you feel happier at university, please believe me."

Jeongguk just rolled his eyes and put it away, instead he took out his laptop to study instead.

I'd never believe a liar like him.

I'm sooooo tired and sick 😢
