You Never Walk Alone

Chapter 55

Do-eun grinned, "Woah, you ain't being a scaredy cat anymore?"

"No. Bring it... on, Do-eun." Taehyung responded.

"Alright. Meet me at the school roof during recess." Do-eun spoke.

"Fine." Taehyung replied, getting up from his seat and leaving the room.

"Hey, Tae!" Jimin chirped as he saw his twin enter his classroom.

"Hi, Jimin." Taehyung responded, "Oh, who's this?" He asked, noticing Byung-hoon sitting behind his twin and Kyung-se.

"He's new here! Byung-hoon...this is Taehyung, he's my... twin brother, and Tae, this is... Byung-hoon." Jimin introduced.

"Hello!" Taehyung greeted, smiling.

"H-hi." Byung-hoon stuttered, slightly shrinking under Taehyung's gaze, intimidated by the boy's red eye and scar.

"Hey, Byung-hoon, mind... if I sit next to you?... Tae needs a place to sit." Jimin spoke.

"Alright." Byung-hoon spoke, Jimin quickly got up and sat down next to Byung-hoon.

"You can sit... next to Se." Jimin said.

Taehyung nodded and then looked at Kyung-se, as if asking for permission.

Kyung-se hummed in response, busying himself with scribbling on his notebook.

"Sese! How's your day... going?" Taehyung asked, smiling as he swung an arm around the other fourteen-year-old.

Kyung-se looked up from his notebook, "It's going good." He replied, he heard Jimin stifle a chuckle from behind him, and unfortunately, he wasn't the only one with good ears.

"Why are you... laughing, Jiminie?" Taehyung asked, turning back to face his twin, confusion painted on his face.

"Nothing, Tae, I remembered... something funny." Jimin replied.

"Oh...Okay then..." Taehyung responded, turning back to the front.

"Why are you laughing, though?" Byung-hoon whispered to Jimin.

"Ah right, you're new here... you wouldn't know." Jimin spoke, leaning in to whisper in Byung-hoon's ear, "You see, Kyung-se here... as a massive crush on Tae."

Byung-hoon laughed a little, "Ooh."

"Mhm." Jimin hummed, "I'm just a... wingman." He added, leaning back in his chair.

"Hey, if you don't mind me asking, what's wrong with Taehyung's left eye?" Byung-hoon asked.

"Oh. That. Tae got into an accident... when he was five and his left eye... was compromised." Jimin answered.

"Is that why you have breathing problems too?" Byung-hoon asked.

Jimin nodded, just then, Kyung-se began roaring with laughter.

"Woah. What the heck... happened?" Jimin asked.

Taehyung turned to his twin, pouting, "I asked him if he had... a crush on that girl, because... he kept staring at... her, I don't know why... he's laughing."

After hearing that, Jimin too began laughing like crazy.

"What~?" Taehyung whined.

"Bro, Kyung-se is ga-" Jimin was cut off as Kyung-se suddenly smacked his shoulders while laughing.

"Kyung-se is what?" Taehyung asked, eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Kyung-se is going to... be single for the... rest of his life." Jimin answered, eyeing Kyung-se warily.
