▶️attempt no. three: part one

"What happens if the timer runs out?" The male friend asked once we had dropped June off at her home. I sighed.
"You know I really wouldn't want to know."

"So that's how you play the scale of F major." Your music teacher finalises proudly, sticking the lid of her red inked whiteboard pen back on.

It's a pretty easy concept, just play C major but play the black note to the left of B.

Boom.

The class starts to pack away, so so do you.

Midway, you hear the sound of crutches coming towards you, but you don't look up.

"I'll seriously struggle with this." Jimin taps the table with his right crutch to gain your attention.

You simply hum in response.

Luckily Jimin isn't fazed by the unenthusiastic reply.

Because even if music is easy, it's boring.

It's so easy it's boring.

Should it even be a subject?

The teacher's voice interrupts your thoughts, as they boom their voice across the classroom, saying we are dismissed and that it is break time.

Jimin and you exit the classroom last, and enter a long hallway with classrooms or recording studios on either side.

"What did Namjoon just have?" You ask after racking your brain for a bit.

"Taehyung, he told you he had English." Jimin chuckles.

Oh yeah...

So we decide to head there.

A few minutes of walking led you to your friend's classroom; multicolour display filled walls with a simple interactive whiteboard at the front.

Namjoon appears in the door way, walking out of the room.

He sees you and Jimin, then waves as he walks towards you both.

"How was English?" Jimin asks.

"Simple, as usual." The elder smiles innocently.

Obviously, with his IQ 148.

"Anyway I need the toilet." Jimin states.

"We're going to the ones in the maths building, the normal ones are rank." You say.

Namjoon chuckles. "Agreed. Let's go."

You push the heavy grey doors of the maths building, and the classrooms reveal themselves to you once again.

Namjoon and Jimin trail behind you as you make your way to the bathroom

The sound of a single pair of crutches break the silence as yours and Namjoon's steps are muted by the carpet.

Most students were in classrooms doing detentions, extra wanted work or were outside.

One thing catches your eye, and as you keep walking towards the scene, you become more concerned.

"What the hell?" You hear Jimin from behind.

So they see it too.

A group of students are bullying the new boy you saw yesterday.

You chose to DO SOMETHING.

P: 2 | N: 4

Achievement unlocked: being the good guy

"Hey!" You yell.

The bullies face you, one of them holding the new student, his glasses almost falling from the bridge of his nose.

The elders' eyes flit between the 3 of you.

Since you have never seen these students in your class, you guess that they are from the year above.

The tallest, the one holding the fragile seeming classmate, smirks.

"What?" They ask in a cocky tone, pronouncing the word like 'whot', rather than properly.

"What did he do to you? Let him be." Namjoon pitches in.

Jimin seems timid.

"I think not." The only one with a face mask speaks.

Then you get a punch of butterflies.

I think I recognise him...

From somewhere.

Jimin, Namjoon and you hear a loud skin to skin connection; the three of you flinching at the connection and bringing you out of your thoughts.

When you open your eyes, you see red finger marks on the glasses boy.

Perhaps it's not right to call him 'glasses boy', since his specs got smacked off.

He sits in shock and doesn't raise his gaze from the floor.

Since you are right in front of the elder who used to have the new student's shirt in his clutches, you find the perfect opportunity to give him a hard smack too.

They stagger back, almost joining the boy on the floor.

However, as if on cue, another elder blocks your sight of the two on the floor.

You look up and the first thing you notice is a deep scar on the latter's eyebrow. "Smart move, pretty boy." He snarls.

I'm not scared of you.

"Leave. Or you'll wish you were dead. No foreshadowing intended." He gives a wicked smile as the other 2 just keep cold yet neutral expressions.

"Can I at least take a piss?"

You all turn around to find Jimin with his knees bent in wards as he bops up and down.

The bullies give the blond a death stare.

"I'm goin'". Jimin simply hops along to an empty stall.

Your gaze wonders back to the masked one.

Seriously, who is he?

...What if I ask?

"The one with the mask," you start.

The addressed male's eyes instantly meets yours.

So familiar...

"Can I see your face?"
