A year ago......
As a new student at STB University, Jungkook found himself on the receiving end of bullying from a group of popular students. With his glasses, long front hair, oversized hoodie, and baggy pants, he fit the stereotype of a typical nerd.
"Look at this nerd. So pathetic, tsk tsk tsk," one of the bullies sneered, tossing a pen at Jungkook's head.
"Why the heck isn't he crying? He should cry," another bully named Mira remarked angrily, observing Jungkook's lack of reaction.
"Yaaa!!!" Mira exclaimed as Jungkook stood up and calmly walked away towards his class, unaffected by their taunts.
"That son of a bitch!"
"What's his name?" Mira asked through gritted teeth, her frustration evident.
"Jeon Jungkook, who belongs to a middle-class family, got in here because of his academic intelligence," another bully named Aysh replied, taking a drag from his cigarette.

For the past month, Mira and her clique relentlessly bullied Jungkook, the quiet nerd. Despite Jungkook's complaint to a professor, nothing changed because the bullies had influential, wealthy parents who shielded them from consequences. Jungkook endured their taunts silently, refusing to give them the satisfaction of seeing his emotions.
Despite the bullying, Jungkook consistently excelled in every test, earning the top scores each time. This only fueled the jealousy of his peers, who couldn't understand how someone they belittled could outperform them academically.
but Jungkook didn't give a darn.

But one day,
"Beg!! Bitch begged us to stop," Mira taunted as she kicked Jungkook's stomach, causing him to choke badly. Jungkook lay on the ground, surrounded by other students. Some found amusement in the scene, while others felt pity for him.
Despite Mira's relentless beating, Jungkook refused to beg or shed a tear.
"Don't you think? Mira is crossing the limit? Look at the poor boy," a boy named Jimin said to his friend.
"What do you think we can stop her? Nobody can stop her except for him. I'm also feeling bad for Jun... Jungkook, yeah," Jin said, watching Jungkook on the ground with concern.
"When is he coming back? He is taking too long," Jimin complained, rolling his eyes.
"I know, right. The boy is enjoying his vacation a little bit too much," Jin added.

Suddenly, someone rushed in, shouting, "Guys, move out quickly as soon as possible. Go to your class, everybody," in a panic.
"But why so? It's so fun," one student protested, but Jimin rolled his eyes and left with Jin.
"Because Kim Taehyung is here," Jimin explained, his voice tinged with fear.
"Omgggg!! Oppa is finally hereee!!! Let's goooo!!!" another student exclaimed excitedly, prompting everyone to start leaving one by one.
Mira signaled to her friends, and they obediently followed her lead, leaving Jungkook behind. She knelt down in front of Jungkook, who lay on the ground, blood seeping from a corner of his lips.
Mira patted his cheeks and smirked, "I'm leaving you today. Don't think he will save you now. No one will stop me from bullying you. I used to bully you openly, but now I'll bully you secretly," before walking away.
With a sigh, Jungkook struggled to his feet and limped away from the scene.

On the rooftop,
On the empty rooftop, the sound of crying and sobbing echoed. Jungkook sat in a corner, tears streaming down his face as he hugged his knees tightly. His red eyes and nose bore witness to his continuous weeping.
"Hush! Don't cry,"
a voice interrupted Jungkook's misery, causing him to panic. He prayed it wasn't Mira or her friends. While he stopped crying, his sniffles persisted as he attempted to see through his tear-blurred glasses. Despite his efforts, he failed to make out the face of the speaker.
A deep chuckle resonated, sending a shiver down Jungkook's spine. His glasses were gently removed, and he found himself gazing into the almond-shaped eyes of a Greek god-like figure. Jungkook was captivated and unable to tear his gaze away.
"Take this,"
the stranger offered Jungkook a handkerchief. After a moment of hesitation, Jungkook accepted it and watched as the stranger sat beside him, causing his heart to race.
"I'm Kim Taehyung, nice to meet you. I heard Mira bullied you earlier. Um, I'm sorry I arrived late, but shouldn't you be strong and stand up to her rather than crying alone on the rooftop?" Taehyung's voice was cool but comforting, urging Jungkook to find his strength.
Jungkook remained silent, looking down at his lap. He felt a jolt when Taehyung's hand rested on his head, gently ruffling his hair.
"Mira won't dare do anything in front of me, but be cautious when I'm not around, okay?" Taehyung advised before glancing at his watch.
"I have to go now. Take care," he said, leaving after placing the handkerchief in Jungkook's lap.
As Taehyung departed, Jungkook couldn't help but think, "But I wasn't crying because she bullied me. I was crying because my little finger didn't reach or hit my prostate." He sighed, then glanced at the handkerchief, wiping away his tears.
"Mmm, it smells just like him. I wish he could give me his finger instead of this handkerchief... but never mind," Jungkook thought to himself, his mind wandering into more provocative territory.

Time skipped,
It had been a year, yet Taehyung remained the same: cold, popular, a heartthrob, and undeniably handsome. Meanwhile, Jungkook still wore the same labels: nerd, weak, shy, and naive to the outside world.
However, Jungkook had changed in one significant way-he no longer allowed Misha to bully him, thanks to Taehyung's behind-the-scenes support.
But amidst the unchanged exterior, something shifted within Jungkook: his feelings toward Taehyung. Although they never exchanged words, Jungkook admired Taehyung from afar. Every eye contact sent butterflies fluttering in his stomach. Jungkook even caught Taehyung stealing glances at him, fueling his growing affection.
However, Jungkook's insecurities held him back from confessing his feelings, especially after learning Taehyung was supposedly straight (as if).
"Why would he even like someone like me, a nerd, ugly, weak, pathetic person?" Jungkook questioned himself, his doubts overshadowing his budding feelings.

But one day, as Jungkook changed his clothes in the restroom, he caught Taehyung stealing glances at him secretly. His heart raced as he realized Taehyung's gaze lingered on him, igniting a flicker of hope within him. However, what truly shattered his insecurities was the sight of Taehyung getting a boner because of him.
At that moment, Jungkook made a decision: "It's now or never."
