Dear Hush | Taejin

. s e v e n .

Seokjin walked to school with his eyes glued to the floor, watching the shadows moving from the bottom of his feet.

It was only the third day to school, and so much drama had already occurred.

He went into home room, and went to go sit down. He dropped the bag on the chair, not aware that it made a thump noise that sounded through the whole room. Even if he did know, he wouldn't care.

He saw Jimin trot up to him with a big grin on his face. "Jinnie~ Hello!"

Seokjin smiled at Jimin's enthusiasm, feeling his energy already start to fill him again. He waved, and sat down.

Right before the teacher came in, Jimin nudged Seokjin, and said with a bright smile,

"Hey, I hope you can dance, because I'm introducing you to my friend after  school!"

Before Seokjin could ask any questions about it, the teacher was already in front of the class, on his stand.

Everyone that once clustered together to gossip and talk had teleported to their seats the second the teacher opened his mouth.

"Take your seats, and quiet down."

Seokjin looked down at his desk. His mind was filled with negative thoughts, most of them including Taehyung.

His eyes wandered to Jimin, who was focused on the teacher, leaning forward on his desk and his mouth slightly open. Leaving his mouth open was a habit that Seokjin noticed he did when he was concentrated.

He tried to pay attention to the teacher but he couldn't process any of the words coming out from his mouth.

Every time he looked around, he saw students turning back in their seats. They had been looking at him.

He could make out what they were saying, including "idiot" and "poor guy" or maybe even "he won't last long".

He saw the girls talking about all sorts of things. "When should we meet up at the bakery?" "I'm talking to him today!" And weird things like "Mr Taesthetic is mine."

After class, Jimin noticed something odd going on with Seokjin. They were walking to their next class, and he shook his shoulder.

"Hey man, are you okay?"

He knew about the punch and kick in the hallway, and right after that incident he immediately invited Seokjin to his house to talk.

It was all written in a letter.

Even though it wasn't spoken verbally, the words on that paper held more meaning and thought than what could be spoken.

Seokjin kept his gaze to the floor, and nodded at Jimin's question.

Soon one other joined their walk to the next class.

"Hey guys!"

Jungkook trotted over to them, grinning. They had the next period together.

He noticed the atmosphere and his smile dropped. He was silent, and kept his head down like Seokjin and Jimin.

Seokjin lifted his head only at one thing along the hallway, and he stopped walking.

The billboard that ranked beauty.

Without hesitating he walked up to it. There were three categories: Aesthetic, Middle Class and Uglies.

His eyes widened.

His name was directly below Kim Taehyung's, the top Aesthetic in the school.

Marker and pen was written all around Seokjin's name, though.

Unintelligent

Ugly

Only beautiful on the outside

Truly "speechless" haha

And then he saw one in bright red, thick marker.

You may be a pretty boy, but you'll never beat me. You're ugly, and everyone knows it. -Taehyung.
