－欣快症.
june 12, the start of another school year. jeongguk never really cared about school just like what his parents had done to him. he stood up and grabbed his backpack after finishing his breakfast, "i'm going!" he told his mom. the nun on the orphanage was the one who was kind enough and took care of jeongguk and made him hers.
he closed the gate then quickly wore the hood of his hoodie. in this way, no one will notice him. almost everyone on their block knew jeongguk was adopted, and they discriminated him for it. when he reached his school, he did not want to take a step forward.
school is a place where you gain updates on your knowledge. but this school was just so far away from that. this school was like a singing contest, and everyone's a judge. just as jeongguk was thinking about it, someone pushed him so hard that he fell on the floor. he closed his eyes tightly. praying the bell would ring.
"look at that! he's back!" jackson screamed, not failing to receive reactions from his minions. "what are you doing here? didn't we tell you that we did not want any adopted assholes here?" jackson questioned, facing jeongguk. jeongguk did not want to answer, he knew he was gonna lose anyway.
when jackson's patience flew away, he kicked jeongguk's stomach. the boy quickly hugged himself and caressed his stomach. it hurt, so bad. but he hated himself more because why couldn't he get used to it?
jackson was about to do another thing, when suddenly, six boys came. "what's this again, jackson?" namjoon asked. jackson leaned on the direction of where the voice came from. "just teaching this kid his lessons," jackson answered.
seokjin felt bad. they always had. but they weren't able to do so as they knew how jeongguk acted. he was tough, his doors were locked. but this time, the six boys couldn't hold it in anymore. they needed to do something. jimin and taehyung tapped seokjin's shoulder, telling him they got jeongguk.
the two boys approached jeongguk, "are you okay?" jimin asked. he knew the answer, but he still wanted to ask. jeongguk did not answer as he felt embarrassed. taehyung looked at jimin, then taehyung handed his hand on jeongguk. "we know what you feel, but we just wanna help." taehyung vocalized.
jeongguk felt safe. for the first time, other than his mom, he felt another person care for him. taehyung's voice indeed showed that they cared for him. he accepted taehyung's hand and stood up with it. when taemin saw this, he approached the three. but taehyung and jimin quickly trapped jeongguk in a circle, as if they were his shield.
"sorry taemin, not anymore." jimin told taemin. which sent a smile on jeongguk's mouth. he suddenly thought of giving in. maybe it isn't that bad as he thought.
