3:Turning The Tables

Third Person POV

BamBam had been sat under the railway bridge all day. This wasn't unusual - he was always sat under the bridge, in his little box. Each day, the school kids would walk past him and taunt him. "Mianhae." He'd reply. He wasn't sure what he was saying sorry for, but he said it nonetheless.

A couple of days ago, during one of BamBam's daily taunts, one of the teens dropped a black permanent marker. BamBam, being the interested little kitten he is, picked it up when he was sure they had gone. He had taken up drawing on his box. He wasn't that bad - he'd draw birds, hearts, and generally colour in segments of the box that he kept his stuff in.

He gets bored though. Another thing he'd picked up during his time of doing nothing under the bridge, was dabbing. Apparently, it was some kind of popular trend that everyone was doing. He'd hear people yelling and dabbing all the time, and he thought he'd give it a go. He doesn't let anyone see him do it, but he sometimes does it before taking a nap, or in the morning when he wakes up.

BamBam was leaning against the wall, whilst sitting in his box. He was using the marker to draw a "BB" onto the watch that he'd kept, when he heard some shouting that was slowly approaching him. Now, BamBam hadn't put almost 3 years of being stuck in South Korea to no use. He'd learnt some Korean during his time there. For example, he'd learned how to say "Hello", "Yes", "No", "Sorry", "Thank You" and "I Love You", as well as a bunch of other stuff, so he wasn't completely lost.
When he looked up, he'd realised that the people who were shouting were getting louder, and closer.

"SHUT UP, YUGYEOM!" BamBam heard someone shout. Whoever Yugyeom was, he sure pissed the other guy off.

"Wow so amazing. Wow so amazing. Wow so amazing." Someone else said.

"Yugyeom I swear to God if you say that one more time I'll-"

"Wow so ama-"

"Right that's it." BamBam saw the Yugyeom guy get repeatedly slapped on the head by the guy who he was winding up.

"OK! OK! I'm sorry Jinyoung Hyung!" Yugyeom pleaded. So Jinyoung was the one who was getting all wound-up over Yugyeom's repetition of "Wow so amazing".

Jackson POV

Listening to these two fighting wasn't something new. I blocked them out by thinking of how awesome I can be when I want to be. We came to a railway bridge. As a train went by overhead, we started acting really extra, like spazzing out on the floor, doing some mad dancing and flapping our arms and jumping as if we thought we were gonna sprout wings and fly. We got the reaction we wanted: stares of utter disbelief.

After the train had gone, we continued to walk under the bridge, where we heard someone giggling. It sounded so cute, and adorable. We saw a really cute kid underneath the bridge, sitting in a box. When he looked up and saw us, he immediately stopped giggling and cowered away into the box he was sitting in, as if he was afraid of us.

"Guys, you go ahead, I gotta do something, yeah?" I told the group.

"What you gonna do?" Jaebum asked.

"Gonna start a tickle fight with the wall. Nah I'm joking It's something I gotta deal with, hopefully it won't take too long."

"Ok, see you soon."

I watched the others walk away before turning to the boy in the box. I was curious about him, and who he was. I wanted to get to know him, and maybe we could even be friends?

I looked back over to the boy, who seemed to keep his eyes on me, but still cowered away. I decided to slowly approach him, in case I scared him.
