I was in the library doing my homework since the class already finished. I was taking down notes while continuously glancing at the book. I can feel the seat I'm sitting soon might break, so I hold back to put it in place. But the sound of the chair nearly cracking was scaring me. Before I have to go away, my seat was already broken. Eyes were glued onto me. Feeling the embarrassment, I exited the library. It's the third time I've broke a chair this week.

I ran to the restroom. Luckily, no one was there. I cried and cried as I look at my reflection in the mirror. I was so disgust in my self.

My belly that was holding in my uniform, my double chin that I hate so much, my arms that is really squishy, my cheeks that are so big like I just stuffed it with a whole dumpling.

"I hate myself for being this fat! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it!" I cried, screaming my heart out. Yes, seriously. I hate myself for being obese.

Suddenly, the door from one of the cubicle opened.

"Yeah, right. If you hate yourself, I hate you even more. A pig like you shouldn't be here. You're such a disgrace, Taehyung." Yoongi said, smirking at me and walked away with his hands in his pocket.

When he's completely out of sight, I look at my self again.

"He's right. I'm a disgrace," I said to myself. I feel I'm useless for being here.

I wiped off my tears that engulfed my face. The same things happen everyday, at school and everywhere I am. I got used of it but it's still killing me inside. I decided to get rid of my feelings again,

by eating.

I made my way to the convenience store. When suddenly, the heavy rain came alongside with thunderstorms. I was inside of the store but the cashier in the counter interrupted me.

"Yah! Get out! You're so wet!... and disgusting." The man said, whispering the last two words which I heard completely and also hurt me. Not wanting to cause any trouble again, I exited the store and rest outside of the store since it's still raining. I glance back at the store where all the junk foods were placed in an aisle, oh how I wish I could eat them. I was shivering due to the temperature.

I noticed there's a guy who maybe the same age as me, but younger, came with an umbrella. He's also wearing the same school uniform as I do.

He took a look at me emotionless before going in. He head inside the store while I was still left outside dumbfounded. I swear my heart was beating fast when he looked at me. I held my chest and tried to maintain my breathing.

He got out of the store after few minutes with the junk foods I wanted. He caught me starring at the items he bought. I quickly averted my gaze from it even though I don't want to.

"Ummm, do you want some?" He asked. I flinched mentally. I didn't expect him to talk to me. I'm going to die after this.

Okay... Calm yo tits, Kim Taehyung. Breathe!

I looked at him and flash him a little smile that I'm not confident of.

"Y-Yes, please." I answered shyly.

He walked to my direction and gave me one of the chips he brought. I accepted it of course.

"So, I g-guess you're going to the same school as me." I started to have a conversation. "Yeah, I think so. By the way, I'm Jeon Jungkook," he introduced. "Oh, I'm-..."
