Author's POV :

Jimin went back to school and tried to get back into his normal life. But something had changed inside him. He walked through the halls like a ghost, his shoulders slumped and his eyes staring at nothing. He seemed far away, lost in his own thoughts, like he was living in a different world from everyone else.

One day, Taemin watched Jimin sitting alone at their usual spot. Jimin's head was down, his fingers nervously tapping on the desk. Taemin knew long ago since Jimin went back to school that something is wrong with Jimin , but he followed him even knowing that this is not right .. even this is not the true Jimin self .. but he would support him anyway . He walked over slowly, his footsteps hesitant.

Taemin: "Minmin, what's wrong with you? Talk to me" His voice shook with concern as he sat down next to his friend. He leaned forward, trying to catch Jimin's eyes. "I thought having some fun would be good at first, but now I'm scared we're going to get into real trouble. I swear, if your father finds out you keep skipping classes, he'll be so angry."

Jimin finally looked up. His eyes were red and tired, like he hadn't slept in days. He rubbed his face with both hands and let out a long, heavy sigh.

Jimin: "What's wrong, Minmin?" His voice sounded empty and worn out. He stared out the window, his hands clenched into fists on the table. "I just need some freedom. I need to feel like I can do what I want for once. We won't get caught. And even if we do..." He paused, his body tensing up. "I'm more scared of what Omma and Taehyung hyung will do to me than Appa."

Taemin's eyes went wide with shock. He shook his head, his hands waving in the air.

Taemin: "Are we really talking about who will 'kill' you, you crazy fool?" His voice got louder and more frustrated. He grabbed Jimin's arm, trying to shake some sense into him. "We're throwing away our future! If we keep skipping classes, we'll fail our tests. That's not something we can fix later. You need to think about what will happen, Jimin!"

But Jimin's face changed. His jaw tightened and his eyes became hard . He pulled his arm away and stood up straight, his chest puffed out with stubborn pride.

Jimin: "No, Taemin, we won't fail." His voice was strong and fierce now. He slammed his hand on the table, making Taemin jump. "We'll get the notes from other students. Before exam time comes, we'll study really hard. Trust me - I can make this work."

Days went by, then weeks. Jimin's behavior got worse and worse. He walked around school like he owned the place, breaking rules without caring about anything. His smile became wild and reckless. At home, he still acted like the perfect son - bowing to his parents, speaking softly, doing his chores. But the moment he stepped outside, his whole body language changed. His back straightened with rebellion, his steps became bold and careless.

He wanted to feel powerful. He wanted to make his own choices. He was tired of following everyone else's rules. The feeling burned inside him like a fire - he wanted to do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted.

His hyungs had no idea what was happening. They trusted Jimin completely because he had always loved school and been so smart. They didn't check on his homework or ask about his grades anymore. They believed everything was fine.

However, after a month of this reckless behavior, the school had reached its limit. They decided to take matters into their own hands and called Jimin's parents to report about all the classes he had missed and how badly he was doing on his tests and quizzes.

The school handed Jimin a report to be signed by his parents, unaware that he would forge their signatures. Jimin was determined to hide the truth, knowing the consequences he would face if his deception was discovered.
