It was Monday.

Taehyung hated every school day but Monday's always seem to be the worst. His tormentor, a big upperclassmen, seem to find him easier on Mondays.

So far, Taehyung has been hiding well enough, able to escape an area once he sees him. It was lunch time, and he didn't dare step into the lunch room for the exact reason of not wanting to be picked on.

He was hidden in a bathroom stall, hating himself for being so small and weak. It wasn't like he was short, like Jimin, but he has no body muscle whatsoever and that made him feel small.

Taehyung stayed inside until the bell rung. He walked out when most of the hallway was cleared except a few others and a group consisting of a few popular boys. He noticed Jimin out of them since his looks demanded attention.

He was about to turn to go to class, but his face comes in contact with a buff chest. He knows who it is immediately. He looks up at the ugly smirk that rest upon his bullies face.

"There you are."

He pushes Taehyung against the locker, gaining the attention of the few people around. He doesn't really make small talk before he starts to punch his stomach. Taehyung bends over in obvious pain, but that makes the sicko laugh.

"Your face looks like it needs some color," he chuckles, punching him in the eye.

Taehyung finally gives up and falls to the floor, holding his face in his hands. He kicks Taehyung one last time before he walks away.

Taehyung lays on the floor, trying to silent his sobs because he can feel people's eyes on him.

He's suddenly being pulled up, and Taehyung thinks that his bully came back to do more damage, but he's shocked to see Jungkook's face when he takes his hands away from his face.

"Taehyung, can you hear me?"

Taehyung nods and Jungkook easily picks him up, letting him try to walk, "Was that who beats you up?"

Taehyung nods, sniffling.

"I-I can walk," Taehyung croaks, trying to unhook his arms from Jungkook.

"Stop. It's fine. Let me help get the blood off at least," Jungkook says.

He catches Jimin's wide eyes as he enters the bathroom with Taehyung. He helps him on the counter and wets a paper towel.

The bathroom door opens and Jimin walks in. He worriedly looked Taehyung over, "Damn."

Jungkook glared at Jimin, "Why didn't you stop him?" He asks.

Jimin opens his mouth but nothing comes out. Taehyung flinches when Jungkook wipes the blood around his nose.

"Are you going to stare or help?" Jungkook snaps at Jimin.

Jimin walks over and inspects Taehyung darkening eye, "That looks bad."

"It's not my first one," Taehyung murmurs, putting a wet towel over it.

Jungkook sighs. He doesn't know why people like to pick on the weaker. Taehyung clearly didn't have enough strength to fight against someone that big.

"I'm sorry," Jimin sighs, a guilty look over coming his face.

"And why are you sorry," Jungkook asks, purposefully making Jimin red in shame.

"Fuck off," Jimin narrowed his eyes at Jungkook.

"It's okay. I don't expect help," Taehyung speaks up, his eyes watering again, "it's never going to stop."

"Well, maybe deny that you're gay and-"

"H-ow do you know I'm gay?" Taehyung squeaks, his cheeks becoming rosy.

Jimin furrows his eyebrows, "I mean, it's obvious." he claims.

"It is?"

"Uhh, Yeah. You look more feminine and you don't have any type of dominance..." he trails off when Taehyung looks to be in shock.

Taehyung wasn't ashamed to be gay, but he didn't want everyone to know because he thought it would make everything worse, but turns out that's the reason why.

"I didn't think anyone knew."

"I had a hunch," Jungkook speaks up.

Taehyung tears up again, and Jimin feels bad, so he blurts out something that he definitely will regret later, "I think i might be gay!"

The two boys look at him and Taehyung eyes widen, "Really?"

Jimin shrugs, "Uhh, Yeah but I don't know because like you two are both attractive but i don't know if it's just observation or attraction so-" junkook interrupts Jimin, "Who would you want to sleep with between us?"

Jimin's eyes widen in shock, "Excuse me?"

Jungkook sighs, "Well, if you are gay you can see yourself sleeping with one of us and whoever it is means if you are a top or a bottom," Jungkook shrugs.

Jimin stands there for a second, "Taehyung."

Jungkook nods, "Well there you go."

Taehyung blushes, looking down. Taehyung never really thought about having a crush or worrying about how he looked, so he never thought that someone would think of him in a way other than hate.

"So I'm gay for Taehyung?"

Taehyung awkwardly squeaks and hides his face in his hands. Jungkook chuckles, "I don't know. Only you know that."

Taehyung's face finally cools of, making him able to look up. When he sees the mischievous look on Jungkook's face it's already too late.

"I would go gay for Taehyung."

And once again Taehyung makes a unhuman noise and hides his burning face.
