Colorless Beauty

10: Dull

     2 months later . . . . .

        "(Y/N). It's 8:00 at night. You need to go home."

        'Of course it was just a dream.' I thought, looking around the quiet library. The librarian was just looking at me with a grumpy face.

        "Yes ma'am." I said with an emotionless tone. I stood up, grabbed my half-broken backpack, then walked past the librarian without another word.

        I liked how the hallways were dark, empty, and quiet. There was nobody, but me, walking around the motionless place, and the only sound heard was the sound of my footsteps.

        In these hallways, I would usually be getting slammed against a locker, or getting my clothes soaking wet with water. I would get laughed at, and talked about. That was basically my everyday life. It started ever since Seokjin left.

        Jungkook made this happen. He is the one who got rid of Seokjin. He is the one who made me struggle. He is the one who turned everyone against me. He crushed the last bit of happiness left in me, and completely ruined my life.

        I walked out of the main doors of the school, and went straight to my dorm room. Yep, I decided to move out of my Aunt's and Uncle's house. I didn't want them to see me how I am. I didn't want them to worry. Especially my little brother.

        When I entered my room, I closed and locked the door, setting down my backpack onto my small couch. The room was a bit cold, considering it was late Fall, so I turned the heat up a bit, and then walked into my small bathroom.

        The first thing I did was run the shower water. While I was waiting for the water to warm up, I took a second to look in the mirror. My face was slightly bruised on the right side, and I looked tired. I began taking my shirt off.

        I turned to look at my back. There were small scars that ran down the middle. There were also some more bruises that covered small parts of my sides. My eyes began to water at the sight.

        I then unbuttoned my jeans, and pulled them down, revealing a few scratches, and of course, more bruises. I sighed as I looked deeply into my own eyes, through the mirror.

        I then slid the rest of my clothes off and got into the shower.

     . . . . .

        "Class! We have a new student!"

        Most of the class began oohing, as the teacher led him in.

        He was very good looking. He had thick, black hair, and his skin was pale, and pretty much flawless. And he also looked straight at me while he walked closer to the middle-front of the room.

        "Okay. Go ahead and introduce yourself." The teacher told him as he walked past the new student, and leaned against his desk.

        "Hello! My name is Park Jimin! That is all I have to say!" He then bowed.

        'Wait, I know that name.'

        The class began chuckling a bit, but I just sat there quietly.

        "Okay. You can just pick a place to sit."

        Jimin looked carefully over in my direction. Of course there were a bunch of empty desks around me. Literally nobody likes me. I looked over at Jungkook, and he was giving Jimin a strange look. He looked kind of nervous, actually. Jungkook's eyes moved all the way up to me.

        I shifted my gaze back in front of me, and I jumped a bit because Jimin was standing right there in front of me.

        "Can I sit next to you?"

        I just nodded a bit, and watched him sit to my right. He turned his head to me, and gave a cute eye smile, holding up his hand, and waving.

        'That ring.....?'

        "It's good to see you again, (Y/N)."

     5 years ago . . . . .

        "You're leaving?!" He was so shocked to hear the words that came out of my mouth.

        "Mhm....." I replied.

       "Why?!"

        "My mom said she wants to try something new." I tried explaining to him.

        "But (Y/N)! What about me? I want you to stay together with me. You are the only friend I have."

        "But I have to. My mom won't listen to me if I said that I wanted to stay.............This will be the last time I can see you." I said, trying not to cry.

        "What? Well, are you coming back?" He looked really upset. That's why I wanted to tell him at the last minute.

        "I don't know." Is all I said as an answer.

       He then wrapped his arms around me, making me feel even more sad about the moment. I hugged him back immediately, though. I was his one and only friend. We were each other's best friend. We had been through so much together, but now, we have to separate.

       I pulled out of the hug, and gave him a sad look.

       "I have to go now." I said.

       "Please come back. If you come back, I will surely be looking out for you."

        I nodded with a frown still plastered onto my small face. I then remembered to give him something. I dug around in my jacket pocket for a bit until my fingers grasped something. I pulled it out, and Jimin's eyes sparkled.

        "They are rings. I'll give you this one." I said, handing him the silver ring that said 'Friends' on it. He took it and put it on almost instantly, and smiled his cute eye smile. I put mine on as well and held my hand in front of my face to show him.

       "See. Mine says 'Best'. We have to promise each other to wear these until I come back."

        His face turned back into a sad one,  but he still smiled to show me he was okay.

        I turned to the left, and began walking away from him. His backyard was so pretty. Lots of toys, flowers, and colors. I was going to miss that.

        I stopped walking and turned around to look at him one more time. He was still looking at me as well. I held my hand up, and waved goodbye. He waved back, and it made me feel even more sad.

       I then turned around, and finally left.

      'Goodbye, Jimin.'
