It was Friday, and Taehyung could finally come back to school. His face was still healing, and he couldn't move certain ways because of his ribs, but other than that he was fine. Jungkook and Jimin were breathing down his neck, insisting they don't leave him alone. If Jungkook wasn't with him then it was Jimin and vice versa.

Taehyung was getting a little annoyed because people were giving them weird looks all day. Some were empathetic and others were just rude. Jimin would barely leave his side, and he didn't have the heart to tell him to back off. The poor boy was ready to fight anyone that came close to Taehyung.

Apparently, the two bullied were suspended all week, and had detention for three months. The suspension really didn't make a difference to Taehyung since they would be back Monday and he would have to start hiding again.

"Chim, I need to use the restroom," Taehyung said, walking towards the boys bathroom through the crowded hallway.

"Okay, I'll stand outside the door."

Taehyung sighed and left Jimin waiting outside. This was ridiculous. Jimin was almost skipping all his classes for nothing. Those seniors weren't even here and Jimin was protecting him like Taehyung was the president.

Once he was finished, he walked out to see Jimin talking to one of the popular girls that he use to sit with.

"Come on, Jimin. What reason do you have to hang out with them? You do know that they sell drugs. At least the taller hot one does," A short thin girl said, slightly flicking her curled hair off her shoulder.

Taehyung thought she was pretty. But she made herself look ugly with that personality.

"Fuck off, you only know rumors," Jimin said, turning and catching Taehyung's eye. He walks over and gives him a smile, "Lets go."

"Fine Jimin. You aren't allowed to talk to us anymore if you are going to chose them. I'm sure your parents will be thrilled to know that," the girl says, making Jimin roll his eyes.

"I'm sorry that you feel that way," he says back before he grabs Taehyung's arm and leads him away.

Taehyung sighed, "Are we ruining your life?"

Jimin snorts, "No. my life sucked before I met you two. You have no idea how grateful I am that we all decided to go to that pond that night," Jimin says. Taehyung smiles at his words.

Jungkook appears out of nowhere and walks beside them, "So, I did some digging and I found out where that bastard lives. Jimin you want to do something about it tonight?"

Taehyung widen his eyes and stops, making the others stop, "Guys, no!"

"Taehyung, you don't have to worry. No one will know it was us," Jimin says.

Taehyung splutters. He drags them them by their arms into the corner so they wouldn't be in the middle of the hallway, "Are you guys insane?"

Jungkook crosses his arms, making the jacket material tighten around his bicep, "No. I want those bitches to pay for what they did."

Jimin nods and makes a sound of agreement. Taehyung stressfully huffs, "Okay, I don't know why you two think that's it's okay to hurt people on my behalf. I know that I'm always in a position where you have to save me, but please don't let that be an excuse to hurt people. I do not stand for violence," Taehyung says, glancing from Jungkook to Jimin to make sure they comprehend.

Jimin seems to understand, but Jungkook shakes his head, "No. Taehyung this is who I am. I've been this way long before I met you and I'm not standing by as they get nothing done to them while you suffer."
