Barely Living (Taehyung)

02

The whole class turned towards the new kid. The teacher tried to real them back in.
"Okay, students let's pick the rest of our partners!" She cheered. "Ms. Lee Jee young?" Jee young turned to face the teacher.
"Ri ah" she said, dissatisfied. Turing her chair back to the front.
Ri ah rolled her eyes. I knew that Ri ah hated being partners with Jee Young. The teacher finished the list, and everyone chose their partners.
"Alrighty class, get with your partners and start your projects!" Clapped the teacher.
Mi Jae turned to Taehyung.
"Welcome to hell," Mi Jae stated, folding her arms in her lap. "Mistake one, talking to me" Mi Jae said looking away.
"It wasn't a mistake." He said. He looked sincere but she didn't buy it.
"It was"
"I chose you because you seem different from the rest of them" He gestured to the class, slumping back in his chair.
"How am I, different?" She questioned.
"A hunch"
"Riiighhht" she scoffed
"Let's work on the project" He said.
They both agreed that they would do the the project about Radioactivity. Taeyhung wasn't as bad as she thought, he was also pretty kind. But she couldn't let him ruin his popularity with her. She needed a plan. First period ended, and Mi Jae hurried as fast as she could to her second period class, choir. If there was one thing she was pretty good at it was singing. She hid her gifts, not showing them her full potential, yet she still attended the class regardless of the many mean comments thrown at her. When she arrived to the choir room she hurried as fast as possible to the risers. She sat in the back corner closest to the Men's section. She was a soprano, but her voice ranged from high to low. As she waited for the instructor, she noticed that Taehyung was in her class. Great. 

After a few more classes, finally it was lunchtime. Mi Jae tried to avoid him, but he sat down right next to her. Ri ah and Jee Young sat down next to him.
"You can move right, Mi Jae?" Ri ah smirked, setting down her tray and flipping her hair.
"S-sure I was going to leave anyway" Mi Jae bowed awkwardly.
"But aren't you going to eat?" He looked up at her with sincerity.
"I'm not hungry, enjoy!" Mi Jae bowed once more, and running off to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Mi Jae searched through her bag for her anxiety medicine. She took it, leaning against the stall, hoping her anxiety would go away. Suddenly, the stall seemed too small, so stumbling, she ran out of the bathroom. She tried to lean against the wall, but she ended up passing out on the hard linoleum floors. She felt a figure lift her up, and that was the last thing she remembered.

Mi Jae woke up to the nurse talking to someone. Her eyes fluttered, adjusting to the lighting. She sat up.
"What happened?" Asked Mi Jae groggily.
Shit. Standing talking to the nurse was Taehyung. Great, Mi Jae thought.
"You passed out, sweetie and hit your head" she smiled.
"frick" Mi Jae groaned. "So that's why my head hurts so much" she said rubbing her head.
"I can call your mom sweetie, if you would like to go home" said the nurse, sympathetically.
"N-no I need to get to class" Mi Jae stuttered, she had the chills.
"alright, I'll give you a pass, say thank you to Mr. Kim here for finding you" she smiled
Taehyung coughed "Actually Mrs. Can I walk with Mi Jae to the next class to make sure she's ok?"
"Sure, honey!" Exclaimed the nurse.
"Ready?" Taehyung asked
"Whatever" Mi Jae rolled her eyes, jumped up and walked outside of the nurse's room.
Taehyung followed.
"Are you okay" He asked looking at her.
"Y-yes, i-I'm alright, thanks." Said Mi Jae awkwardly
He stopped in the middle of the hallway.
"Are you sure your okay?" He said grabbing her wrists.
She flinched, hoping he didn't feel her bandages through her long sleeved uniform. He grabbed her wrist, before she could pull away. He folded up her shirt. Shit he could see her cuts, and the multiple bandages.
"What is this?" He asked, very concerned.
"Its nothing really, come on we are late for class." She said, pulling his hand off of her wrists.
