Ji-Young's POV:

For the first time in months, I slept all through the night. Not once dreaming about mother or father or the tunnel that never ended. My alarm rang softly and I got up easily. Within minutes I had finished a shower and was drying off to get into some clothes. I slipped on my uniform, sighing over the short, tight skirt. I styled it with a pair of round gold glasses which I felt looked nice and was fixing my hair into dutch braids as I wasn't up to styling it. Nor was I up to doing any makeup besides tinted lip balm which barely counted.

I finished the last strands of my second braid as I came to the end of the stairs. Jin was still asleep so I quickly compiled a breakfast for him before pulling on my shoes, grabbing my school bag and exiting the door.

It was early in the morning so I walked to Mina's and forced her into school. I picked out her uniform and did her hair all ready for school. Her hair was much shorter than mine but I put it into tiny french braids to match mine. In the end though, hers looked much better. Her fringe was perfectly in place while mine was unruly and slightly curled.

20 minutes later:

I shifted through my locker before someone shut it closed. It was Ji-Eun, looking ever so smug. Ji-Eun was this school's queen bee. She was gorgeous and tall and slim with rich parents and a band of minions. She had always bullied me for being chubby and having freckles all down my nose while she was slim without a blemish on her skin. She may have been pretty and skinny and sexy but she had the ugliest personality.

"Get away from BTS." I faced back to my locker, opening it again while I rolled my eyes defiantly.

"Who died and made you queen, Ji-Eun. I can do what I want." She paused, utterly shocked at my defiance towards her. I used to be scared shitless of her but now I couldn't give a shit. I had none to spare. Some of her minions sniggered behind her before all stopping and putting a hand to their hips.

"Jungkook's only with you to get your virginity. Really he likes me." The remark stung a little, remembering I had to play by his rules. I knew they spent alot of time together, as Jisoo told me, yet the notion that Jungkook was using me for a hookup sickened me. I turned towards her acting confident.

"It's an english project honey, nothing more, nothing less. And if I want to sit with BTS at lunch, then I will bloody well sit with them." I spat at her. I was fuming. Mina grabbed my hand and pulled me to tutor asking questions the whole way.

Tutor room: Before class:

Mina bombarded me with silly questions about what happened yesterday and I answered them, uninterested. I took my seat and looked around, wanting to ask Jungkook when else we could run through the lines, due to him being... well, not amazing at english. At first I didn't spot him and thought he was just late but a female giggle caught my attention and I saw him.

He was leaned back on his chair with Rosie, who had been in Japan for the last year, sat on his lap trying to be cute and seductive. He was obviously into it. They would probably hook up later and go out for a week or two before he dumps her heart, like he does with the rest. But where before nothing like this had bothered me, I felt the corners of my mouth drop and my heart emitted a dull pain. Mina rubbed my arm, noticing my change in expression. Shaking my head, I turned back to the front as our teacher walked in.
