save me | jungkook

01,

The school was empty since it was way before the time students would usually come in. Slightly loud footsteps echoed through the hallway and in the staircase. It traced up towards the school's rooftop. There was a girl standing near the railing. She took a deep breath of the fresh air and thought about how she'll be able to deal with everyone for the rest of the day.

She stared down and wondered how far she was from the ground. It would be a long drop and would ensure the death of a person. She shook the sinful thought from her head and instead focused on her surroundings. She looked at the landscape that was before her eyes.

It was beautiful.

Skyscrapers standing tall and people taking their daily walk around the city. Immediately she wished to see the whole world. It would be wonderful to see many interesting sceneries. With a sigh, the girl stepped back from the railing and picked up her books. As she turned around the corner to get to the exit, she bumped into someone. Her books fell out of her grip and onto the floor. "I'm so sorry," the person said. "It's okay," the girl answered. She bent down and started to pick up the books.

     The person in front of her picked up the rest of the books and handed them back to her. The girl looked up and she saw someone unfamiliar. Is he a transfer? The boy gave her a small smile. "Thank you," she bowed and headed towards the exit.

     "Wait! What's your name?" He asked. The girl turned around and said, "why do you want to know?" She answered hesitantly, "it's Areum. Lee Areum."

     "Just curious," the boy smiled and walked towards the railing of the rooftop. Areum shrugged her shoulders and walked down the stairs. She walked into her classroom and sat in her seat near the window. She sighed, laying her head onto the desk. The sky was turning dark and rain drops started hitting the windows. She looked at the clock and fifteen minutes had already passed when she was up in the rooftop. Areum swore time passed by quickly whenever she was up there.

There was still thirty minutes left until students would start storming into the school.

She wore her earbuds and played one of her favorite OSTs in a drama she had watched. She felt herself slowly falling asleep as the rain continued to pound on the glass windows.

     Time had passed and the students started going to their classrooms. The students took notice of Areum sleeping and took pictures of her secretly. "Look at her. She's drooling and look at how much fat she has on her stomach. She's basically obese. I bet it jiggles if she runs," one of the girls snickered as she made fun of the sleeping girl.

     "She probably weighs two hundred pounds. Even the gym teacher snorted in laughter when Areum stepped onto the scale. Her cheeks were red from embarrassment," one of the other girls gossiped.

     Areum's eyes slowly fluttered open as she stretched her arms out. She yawned and saw a small flash of white across the room. Her eyebrows furrowed in wonder, but she gave it no thought. She took off her earbuds and placed it away along with her phone. The bell rang right after and the homeroom teacher walked in. "Get in your seats," the teacher pointed to the students still standing. Everyone rushed to their seats.

"Today, we have a transfer student. He'll be here in a second. I expect you to treat him well," the teacher raised an eyebrows to a group of boys. They looked away and onto their tables.

A boy walked in.

"Oh," Areum stared at the boy walking into the classroom. It's him. The boy on the rooftop. "Introduce yourself to the class," the teacher stepped to the side. The boy bowed down and greeted everyone. "Hello, my name is Jeon Jungkook," he smiled. The girls whispered and nudged each other. "Sit in an empty seat," the teacher instructed.

One of the girls in front of the classroom patted onto the empty seat beside her, her smile encouraging him. Jungkook, however, did not notice her small action and walked past her.

     The girl frowned as her classmates snickered. Her fists clenched when she saw where Jungkook was heading towards. "Can I sit here?" A voice called out. Areum looked up from her book and saw the boy. She looked down at the empty seat beside her and lightly nodded her head. Jungkook grinned and sat down in the seat. "Now that everyone's settled, wait until the bell rings for the next teacher," the homeroom teacher walked out to do something.

Areum had a strange feeling that people were watching her. Her eyes looked up at the group of girls glaring at her with jealousy, who were murmuring words amongst them.

"Why is he even sitting next to that fat girl?" One of the girls said loudly on purpose. Areum felt a pang of pain in her heart and clenched her fists. She tried not to think so much about the comment and just looked back at the book she was reading. Maybe I should avoid Jungkook so that they won't bother me. She felt someone poking her arm multiple times and she turned around only to get accidentally poked at the cheek harshly.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry," Jungkook apologized. He held her cheek and examined if she was hurt because of what he did. "I'm okay," Areum said and tried to take off Jungkook's hands from her face.

     "Just asking, what subject do you have next?" He asked. Areum furrowed her eyebrows in thought. "I'm not sure what you have, but I have math next," she replied. Jungkook's face lightened up and he said excitedly, "I have that too. Maybe I'll get to sit next to you again." Why would you want to? She wanted to ask him that in curiosity. I'm ugly and disgusting.

     That's what everyone tells me.

     I hate being called fat, disgusting, ugly, and obese. Maybe I am, but no matter how hard I try to ignore them, they keep on coming and they never stop.

     I just wish it would stop.
