🎵: BTS - The Truth Untold
*****

Taehyung sighed as he slammed his locker shut. He was thirsty and exhausted. 

He walked through the hallway, searching for his classroom. The sound of chatty humans all around him irritated him. The fact that he had impeccable hearing didn't help.

"I went to Switzerland for the holidays, it was so fun!"

"You look beautiful today Min Seo!"

"This year, i'm not going to eat more than 1000 calories a day"

"Ok... so that's how to find x!"

"Let me write this on my hand so I don't flunk today's test"

Pursing his lips, he pushed open his classroom door and made his way to his usual seat at the corner of the class, away from all the windows. He dumped his books on his table and put his head down on his desk, closing his eyes. Maybe he could catch up on some sleep before the teacher arrived.

Just then, he heard someone loudly placing their books on the table beside him. This annoyed him, but he didn't bother to see who it was. 

The person cleared their throat.

Taehyung lifted his head and glared at the person next to him, annoyed that whoever it was, clearly wanted to have a conversation.

When he saw the person sitting next to him, his expression softened a bit. It was a petite-looking boy. He looked a bit younger than Taehyung. A year or so younger, perhaps, which meant he probably skipped a year or two owing to his exceptional grades. He had dark brown hair, which looked soft, and he looked alarmed, caught off-guard by the blond's glare.

Jungkook was very friendly. He loved making new friends, and it being his first day in his new school, he had plenty of opportunities to do so. He didn't have any of his newly-made friends accompanying him in his Biology class, so he decided to make one. But it wasn't going the way he had planned.

"Uh..i'm sorry.." the boy stuttered, intimidated by the pale elder's cold stare. "I just wanted to introduce myself..my name's Jungkook-" the boy was cut off by the blond. "Not interested." he said before returning to his position with his head resting on his desk.

The brunet's cheeks flushed pink in embarrassment as he turned, so he was sitting facing the front of the classroom, and not his rude seat-mate anymore. He opened a book in front of him and pretended to read it, but his mind was elsewhere. He mentally scolded himself for trying to initiate a conversation with someone who was clearly trying to sleep.

A teacher walked in. A stout lady, with a stern look on her face who went by the name of Miss Trout. She began giving the class instructions to open their books to a certain page. Taehyung sighed as he lifted his head off his desk. He couldn't even sleep for a full two minutes. He began flipping through the pages of his book until he found the page he was required to be on.

Beside him, Jungkook, after seeing from his periphery, that his seat-mate had gotten up, became even more nervous. He avoided looking to his left and kept his head down.
