"E-excuse me miss", Jungkook spoke up in the buzzing classroom. His little hand was raised high and his tail wrapped itself around his waist.

"Yes Jungkook", the teacher nodded for him to continue. The chatter died down as the whole class stared at the young hybrid in anticipation.

"I-I think I said something rude to Taehyung which made him upset. Can I go check on him?", the raven haired boy asked, averting his gaze away from the eyes burning holes into his body. The teacher seemed to freeze for a second and Jungkook was afraid maybe some witch or wizard used an ice spell on her. She cleared her throat, "Sure".

Jungkook quickly gathered his things and rushed his way out of class. His cat ears picked up some whispers from across the room.

Why would he go after him?

He's new. He doesn't know better.

Shouldn't we warn him from that thing?

He probably ran to the rooftop again.

I hope he jumps this time.

That monster is going to kill the poor boy.

Jungkook was so confused once he reached the hallway and slammed the door shut. Monster? Were they talking about Taehyung? He didn't look like one but in the supernatural world a whole lot of things weren't what they looked liked. Jungkook finds the staircase and goes up until he sees a sign saying 'Roof'. The old metal door screeches when he pushes it open and the cold air immediately gets released into the warmth of the school hallway. Jungkook's tail is tightly around his waist seemingly for protection as he walks onto the rooftop.

Jungkook doesn't really like heights but once his eyes land on the brown haired boy standing on the edge, he doesn't hesitate to run across the rooftop.

"Don't jump!", he yells, startling the older.

"Jeezus", the other mumbles when the shock fades away.

He turns around to find the cat hybrid standing in front of him with a worried face.

"And why would you care?", he crosses his arms nonchalantly, stepping even closer to the edge, almost testing the other boy's patience.

"Don't jump please", Jungkook can only urge out, panic raging through his veins. His throat is almost choking itself by realizing how high the building is and how deep he could fall. But most of the fear he's emitting is because of the older boy in front of him, almost stepping off the rooftop.

"You know lots of students would love it if I jumped", Taehyung turns around to stare into the depths," They would even ask me to a back flip and I'd probably grant their wish".

"Why?", Jungkook is able to croak out.

"You're new right?", Taehyung turns around again, seeing Jungkook nod.

"Let me do you a favor", the older says," Stay away from me. Ignore me, insult me and hurt me. When you do that, you're life here at school will go smoothly. But if you near me and talk to me, without any reason to gain my pain out of it, you'll be casted away by the rest of the students".

Jungkook is taken aback by this. His brows furrow in confusion and his tail is now swirling behind him.

"What do you mean? Why would I hurt you?", Jungkook asks. He tries to find a reason to hurt the other but he seems perfectly normal.

"Because monsters are meant to be treated that way".

"I-I don't understand".

Taehyung sighs and finally steps away from the edge, much to Jungkook's happiness.
