" ALL THE COOL KIDS, THEY SEEM TO DO THIS "

☆☆

Park Jimin sat near the window of his mother's car. Today would be his first day at BigHit High in the heart of the city of Seoul.

Leaving Busan was probably the hardest thing he had to do. All his friends were there, his dance academy was there. He had been living there all his life, and to just get up and leave made him feel all kinds of emotions. He was happy to an extent, to have a fresh new start away from his so called father. But he couldn't help but feel sad as well, to leave all his memories behind.

"Why so glum, Jimin-ah?" His mother asked, sparing a glance at him as they waited at the stop signal.

"I just...miss Busan. And all my friends.." He sighed before looking out of the window sadly.

"I know sweetheart but we had no choice. Seoul is full of opportunities, you just need to find the right one."

"But now I'm single again! Sungjae broke up with me yesterday, over the phone!" Jimin pouted as he looked at his mother.

Yes, Jimin was undeniably, gay. Holy heck was he gay..He and his ex boyfriend, Sungjae had been together for 3 years and it left him brokenhearted to find out that his boyfriend of three years had just decided to end it over a casual phone conversation.

His mother knew about his participation in the LGBT+ and supported him as well as everyone in Busan International. But who knows if they were to accept him as gay here in BigHit High..

"Sweetie, i know being gay is who you are but, maybe until you get comfortable and gain very close friends whom you know won't leave you, to keep it a secret."

Jimin said nothing but sighed inwardly. Of course, he should have expected that.

The rest of the car ride was left in a peaceful silence but for Jimin, it was anything but. He was freaking out and panicking. How was he going to survive pretending to be straight or in a homophobic way of saying it, pretending to be normal .

His mother dropped him off at the front, leaving him terrified and unknowing of the new territory. The morning bell rang, signifying the beginning of classes.

"Shit."

Students hustled and bustled about, rushing to get to their classes, not wanting to be late. Jimin was pushed around all over until it was all too much. His petite body fell to the ground, his bag dropping along with all his books besides him as the crowd stepped over, not bothering to stop and help him up.

Then it was over. Complete silence filled the school's hallways. Jimin lifted his head up and looked around, his hair disheveled and his arms lowering from their instinctive position over his head. There was no one except..

"You alright there?" A voice asked using familiar dialect. The unexpected voice scared Jimin, causing him to jump up in fright. He looked up to see a handsome boy looking down at him with a cute bunny smile. "Names Jungkook. You?"

"Jimin."

He looked at him inquisitively. "I don't think I've seen you before. Are you new here?"

The petite boy nodded before asking timidly, "if you don't mind me asking, how old are you?"

Jungkook smiled before replying with a quick "15."

Jimin perked up at that. "You better use honorifics then! I'm two years older!"

Jungkook full on laughed at this before shaking his head at his new friends antics. "I got to go to class now. I'll see you at lunch?"

Jimin nodded, happy to have made a new friend. He waved his new friend goodbye before attempting to tackle the next task, finding his class.

" I probably should have asked him,shouldn't I?" Jimin muttered, mentally slapping himself. "Damn it."

"You're late Mr.Park."

"I'm sorry , Teacher...I got lost."

"Students, meet your new classmate, Park Jimin. He has transferred from Busan International. I expect you all to treat him well." His teacher sternly said, before looking straight at Jimin. "Since it is your first day, I shall excuse your tardiness. However, tomorrow you must be on time. Understood?"

Jimin nodded mutely before making his way to an empty seat which happened to be next to a handsome silver headed boy with a boxy smile and a day dreaming look in his eye.

The teacher was half way through explaining the purpose of Quantum Physics in real life when Jimin heard his seatmate speak to him in a husky toned voice. "Have you ever wondered what life would be like if we were the tiny ones and the bugs were our size?"

Jimin looked at his classmate with a confused look prominent on his facial features. "What?"

"Just think about it..'

Indeed, that's all Jimin could think about. And it was all thanks to that boxy smile dude.

Bell rang all too soon, causing the students to gather their books and other collectives and head towards their respected lockers to get ready for their next class.

"The name's Taehyung. You can call me Tae,V or just Taehyung!" His seatmate smiled thrusting a hand in front of Jimin's face for him to shake.

Jimin tentatively took it with a small smile. "My name's Jimin."

"Can I call you mochi?'

" why?"

"I don't know. You just remind me of one."

And with that, his new friend walked away without a care in the world.

Jimin watched as the silver haired boy bumped into a locker and apologized profusely for it. "Sorry Mister Locker! I won't hurt you again! Don't take my candy! I beg of you!"

Jimin shook his head with a small smile. That boy was weird but as long as he was nice, he was fine with it.

The bell rung signalling the next lesson. Not wanting to be scolded at again on his first day, Jimin walked quickly in an attempt to beat the crowd.

Unfortunately for him, his legs were too short to move as quick as he wanted. He was jostled and pushed about by the much taller and stronger crowd.

Let's just say that he didn't manage to beat the crowd... And was late..

Again...
