Of course he's running late- when isn't he?

Jimin jumps over the railing of the staircase and lands with a thump. He glances at his feet for a second as he catches his balance and then sprints to the kitchen.

"Are you seriously running late again Park Jimin" old Miss Park chuckles from her seat at the table.

"I took to long in the shower again" he sighs as he runs his hands through his damp hair before leaning down and kissing her cheek "thank you for breakfast". And with that he grabs his bible and shoves it into his bag and picks up the piece of toast before bursting out the front door.

He shoves the toast in his mouth before glancing at his phone for the time.

8:02 am

"Shoot!" He shouts but it's muffled by the toast. He shoves his phone in his pocket and bites down on the toast, hoping to finish it before rounding the corner to the school.

It's only the first semester and this is the 8th time he's been late. Not another stupid tardy, but maybe if he hurries this time nothing will come out of it.

His phone rings as he finishes the toast in perfect time. "Yes?"

"Jimin where the hell are you class is starting?!" The voice shouts from the other side.

"Tae I'm outside!" Jimin pants as he closes in on the main entrance. Luckily the door is still unlocked. Usually you have to buzz in after 8.

"Did you sleep in? No wait- you definitely took to long in the shower".

"It doesn't matter I'm just late okay?!" Jimin's voice echoes throughout the empty hallway.

"Shit- I have to go" Taehyung whispers before hanging up on the older.

"What the frick-" Jimin rolls his eyes as he climbs to the stairs to first period.

He's panting hard and begins to walk normally after reaching the top step, at this point he can't tell if his hair is wet from the shower or his own sweat. He clinches his fist before opening the classroom door. He can already sense all the eyes on him as he peeks one eye open at Mrs. Kim.

"You're late" she sighs shutting the math textbook "again".

It's just homeroom gosh..

He steps in and shuts the door behind him "-yeah" he admits.

"Detention" she closes her eyes. Jimin not even surprised at this point. Each four tardies turn into a detention, and it's honestly the worst. This school is so small only one or two kids have detention at a time, not to mention it's a Christian school so no one ever really gets in trouble.

And with that Jimin nods before approaching his seat in the back beside Taehyung.

Taehyung is covering his mouth with his hand chuckling as the older closes near and sits at his desk. "Can you not?!" Jimin whisper yells. This only cause Taehyung to chuckle a little louder only catching Mrs. Kim's attention.

"Do you want detention also Mr.Kim?" She asks with a pretty smile.

He stops instantly "no, Miss Kim". She nods before glancing back at the book and writing on the board in efforts to help a few students with their homework. Jimin elbows him "why did you say that?! We could have had it together" he whisper shouts again. Taehyung snarls "ew no".

Jimin rolls his eyes before resting his head in his hands.

Jimin's eyes rest on his tray basically all of lunch. He doesn't have an appetite but knows he should eat something since he has to stay after school.
