Spring Day

Taehyung

   I nod at Taehyung when he asks if can sit down.
   I look around to see why Jimin is taking so long. When I eventually find Jimin he was talking to one of those troublemakers.....Jungkook...i think...
   "Oh...Do you like Jimin?"
  I look over at Taehyung and shake my head slowly.
   "No no...He's my child hood friend....I grew up with him..."
   "He isn't your boyfriend?" He tilted his head.
   I smile and shake my head politely."He is just my friend"
   He gives me his rectangular smile once again and I feel my ears go warm. Don't focus on him....look away!!
   I stare into his eyes...lost in his dark brown eyes....An endless hole I am being pulled in to...
"Transfer student?..... Transfer student?"
    I felt more tapping on my shoulder and suddenly feel pain in my head. Someones pilling my hair?
    I look over my shoulder and see Jungkook and the other guy...Hoseok..
    "Transfer student...This is our table...and you sitting in my seat.."
    I get angry and stand up.
   "You little..." I take a deep breath and smile at him.
   "Yeah...You can sit down now...I was heading to the library anyways" I turn around so fast that my hair whips in his face. I freeze. My instinct would be to apologies to him right away but...there was so much anger inside of me that I just stood still...
  I felt Jungkook grab my arm angrily and then forcefully turned me around to face him.
   "Whats your problem? I was only joking with you!!"Jungkook glared into my eyes.
  I frowned and pulled my arm away from him.
   "Well next time talk more sarcastically than serious!!"
   My eyes watered....and I felt pain on my arm...the one Jungkook grabbed...I take a few steps back and then grabbed my backpack and run across the lunch room and to the library holding back....loads of tears....
    I walk into an empty aisle of books and quickly take of my sweater. I see a huge blueish purple bruise shaped into a hand print.
   "Transfer student?"
  The voice doesn't come from Jungkook....It comes from Taehyung....
  I manage to speak.
   "Over here..."
  I hear a shuffling of feet and then see Taehyung at the end of the aisle staring down at me in disbelief.
  "He left you that bruise?"
His face darkened and I could see his fist closed tight and shivering. He was pissed.
   "Taehyung...calm down....please..." I smile softly at him.
  "Could you call Jimin? He must be wondering where I am..."
   "I told him to come by...he said he would be here in a few minutes..." Taehyung a few steps closer to me and then kneeled down in front of me. He held out his hand, asking permission to see my arm and take a look of the bruise Jungkook made.
   "Does it still hurt?"
  I nod.
    "If i move and touch it, yes..." I look down avoiding his eyes.
    "I meant to apologize as soon as I said all that...but Jungkook made me so mad onto how he talked to me....informally and rudely....I was-"
   My eyes widened. Taehyung was hugging me....He wrapped his arms carefully around my waist and brought me in closer to him....even if there was no space between us now, he held me tighter....My eyes began to water and I didn't realize it until I felt tears streaming down my cheeks.
   Taehyung brought his lips near my ear and whispered.
   "Whats your name?" He moved back a little and looked into my eyes...
   "A-Ara......," I wipe my tears.
   "Ara Namjoon"
  The name seems to surprise him.
   "Your the famous AraAra, Namjoon tells us about you all the time....When we hang out as a group..."
   I'm taken by surprise.                     Taehyung and my brother......Friends?He also said "WE hang out as a group"
   He looks down and the backs up a bit more smiling at me.
   Just then there's more shuffling of feet.
   "AraAra?"
   "Over here"
   Namjoon appears along with Jin and Hoseok....and someone else I don't know.
   "Oppa?"
    Namjoon nods at Taehyung. Taehyung backs off more to let Namjoon through.
     When Namjoon passes through he looks at my arm and his face began to turn red.
    "Jungkook...." Namjoon kept his fists by his sides...
    Shuffle........Shuffle
   "I didn't mean to hurt her the way I did Namjoon..."
Jungkook came out of behind all of them.
    Namjoon grabbed Jungkook's shirt and pulled him closer.
     "But,  you did you fucking..."
     Taehyung separated the two.
    "Namjoon...You know Jungkook would never hurt your sister intentionally...Calm down...It was an accident"
   I look at Taehyung and nodded.
    "I let out my anger on Jungkook and made him use force to turn me around to correct myself....His force was an accident"
    Jungkook looked down and Namjoon looked at me.
    I have NEVER lied to my older brother and he knows that...Does he know I just lied to him?
   Namjoon then looks over to Jungkook.
   "Is that true?"
    Jungkook lifts his head up enough for only me to see him. He mouths the words Thank You. I nod in response then he lifts his head more to look Namjoon in his eyes.
   "Yes...I'm sorry....Even I didn't realize the force I had put into while grabbing her arm."
  Namjoon sighed and let him go.
   "Your my friend Jungkook....But even so...hurt my sister again and I'll lose my job for her..."
   Namjoon closed his eyes then opened them giving Jungkook a deathly stare. I could see Jungkook gulp then nod. Namjoon backed away and then held his hand out to me.
   I grabbed it and he lifted me up.
    "Lets take you to the Nurse."
   I nod and rise. Namjoon begins to walk and slowly the group disbands and the only ones with us are Taehyung and Jimin.
   I look back at them as we walk.
   "You'll be late....I'll be fine! You guys go to class,"
  "But-" They both said to oppose the idea.
  "No Buts....I dont want you two to get in trouble because of me..."
   Jimin and Taehyung look at each other before looking back at me and nodding.
   "We'll visit you if you go home." Jimin said.
   "Do you like sweets? Anything you want after school?"
   I smile at them and shake my head.
   "Im good Taehyung....but you two visiting will make me happy....I mean happier than I already am." I smiled and then wave goodbye as Namjoon pulls me into the Nurse's room and tells the woman behind the desk what was going on.
   "Unfortunately, I am not allowed to give her anything with special permission and and a doctors prescription..."
   I see Namjoons ears begin to go red. Which means he's mad...
  "Alright..." Namjoon manages to smiled and bow towards her. I do the same before Namjoon could drag me out and walk me to the Main Office.
    "Excuse me but I'd like to request a substitute to room D-16 for next period and the rest of the day,"
    I look at Namjoon. He can get in trouble because of me and I don't want that....He loves teaching!
    The desk lady calls the principal in and Namjoon is called to his office.
   If he gets fired....its my fault....
   After Namjoon spent forever in the principals office( 8 minutes really).He walked out smiling at me.
    "Don't worry I'm not fired...The principled asked for this to be the only day of my absence and that an assistant will teach for me."
     THANK GOODNESS!!
   Namjoon waves to the desk lady and then proceeds to walk me out.
