"Hey! I am Taehyung nice to meet you!" , Taehyung stood opposite of the older male, who looked up from the paper on his desk. "Nice to meet you as well?" , his tone was cold as ice, even Taehyung felt awkward. However, Taehyung pulled his chair, turning it around and sat facing him.

"You're Jimin right? I heard the teacher calling you that when they were going through the register!" , Taehyung smiled widely as Jimin raised his eye brows at Taehyung's stubbornness, but he didn't complain and weng along. "Yes I am Jimin"

"Good! You seat right behind me, I thought I should talk to you!", Taehyung leaned forward happily, "... "

Taehyung continued despite Jimin ignoring him, "You're good at maths, help me with it please! "

"Huh?!", Jimin frowned at the smiley boy, "Why don't you ask the teacher?". Taehyung clapped his hand together like a prayer in front of Jimin, "Please! I can't bring myself to ask them! Everyone here is so smart. I feel like the teacher are judging me to death!"

Jimin stared at Taehyung quietly slightly doubtful, Taehyung joined his school recently. So, he can't be sure the type of person Taehyung is, but seeing the way Taehyung was begging him, he sigh, "You better keep it up with me"

"YAY!"

That's how they started becoming friends. Their friendship wasn't all colouful, one thought himself as a teacher, and the other thought genuinely thought as friends. So it was kind of one sided. Until the more days passed, the more months passed and became closer, Taehyung noticed some weird behavior on Jimin.

"Jimin"

"It's Hyung you giraffe"

"Fine! Hyung! Happy!", Taehyung rolled his eyes, then looked at how Jimin was walking next to him, they were headed to the library. "Hyung are you alright? ", Jimin was slightly limping.

"Why wouldn't I be? "

"I guess? ", Taehyung scratched his head confused at his own questions and his doubtfulness. He let it go, but that didn't end there, the weirdness gradually increased to the point, Jimin's face started looking pale, at some point he even had to take a break from the lesson and go to the medical care and rest there.

After the lesson Taehyung also went to the medical room to find Jimin, and saw Jimin sleeping on the bed, "Oh man, he looks terrible" , Taehyung put his palm on top of Jimin's forhead to check his temperature until the corner of his eyes caught onto a mark on the side of Jimin's neck.

He stopped checking Jimin's temperature and gently pulled the collee shirt down to reveal the neck properly, only to be speechless. Jimin's neck was marked in purplish black bruise. Taehyung's fingers were cold, so the moment Taehyung's finger slightly touched Jimin's skin, Jimin woke up. "What are you-"

"What's going on?! What's on your neck!" , Jimin noticed where Taehyung's eyes were. He quickly pushed Taehyung away covering his neck, "It's nothing! What's your problem!"

"Nothing?!", Taehyung frowned, "You call that nothing! Even a little child would be able to tell that it's a fucked up bruise! Jimin!"

"I SAID IT'S NOTHING!"

"..."

The whole room fell in silence at Jimin's outburst, who looked away, "It's nothing... I just feel off-"

"Few weeks ago you were limping, few days ago, you couldn't use your arm, and now this? Jimin I am not blind, I know you don't see me as a friend. Just someone that you're helping, but this?!" , Taehyung's fingers curled into a fist holding his anger, "I will tell this to a teacher"
