Oh. It's that guy again! Jimin!

It was silence for a few minutes. Jimin had put his bluetooth earphones in and tuned the world out. Jungkook was about to do the same until he saw Jimin's eyes.

They were red.

Oh no.

The younger didn't hesitate to get the boy's attention. "A-Are you okay?" He closed his eyes and turned his head against the younger.

He heard him.

He just wanted to forget about everything. Music helped him cope with his emotions. It put him in an unique headspace. A place where he could get lost within himself and feel loved...by music.

That was the only thing he loved. It was his true love that would never leave him.

Jungkook didn't give up. He poked the boy on the shoulder, not knowing what he had had on his mind before. He just wanted to help.

Jimin shrugged and placed his head into his oversized hoodie. His hands were buried in his sleeves. He was basically hibernating.

The bus had stopped in front of their school. The teenage passengers got off without a problem, leaving only Jungkook and Jimin left. "Yah, we're at school. It's time to get off now."

No response.

Jimin's eyes were glued onto his phone until he finally felt like getting out of his seat. He didn't look up at Jungkook, instead, he walked off the bus.

Jungkook didn't have any time to talk to him that morning. He felt as if something was wrong with him. Maybe be he didn't want to be bothered.

"Hey can you pass the papers back?" An unfamiliar voice said from behind him. Jimin had zoned out for a while and didn't notice that they had an assignment to do.

Jimin took a paper for himself and passed the rest behind him. "Thanks new kid." The boy snickered.

Jimin felt offended.

That's when Jimin slowly turned around to face the strange person. "I have a name y'know. Just because I'm new here doesn't mean I won't beat your ass."

His name wasn't "the new kid", he at least wanted people to ask him what his name was.

"Geez, I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you or anything. My name's Kim Taehyung." The younger smiled as he fiddled with his wooden pencil.

Jimin wasn't really happy. He didn't come to Seoul to make friends.

"I'm Jimin." Jimin exclaimed as he flipped his hair out of his face, showing his forehead. This amused the younger. Taehyung found the boy quite charming.

"I know your name is Park Jimin." Taehyung admitted as he stared at his assignment. He didn't look back up at the elder, but Jimin did turn around to face him.

"What is that supposed to mean? Is my name floating around school already?" Jimin questioned before Taehyung dampened his lips with his tongue.

"Well my friends and I really like you and you have a class with some of them." Taehyung said before feeling a cold breeze hit his face.

"No talking during the assessment!"

"So are you his friend now?" Hoseok asked as he smacked on the lamb skewers Jin had made at home.

Namjoon and Yoongi were more focused on Taehyung more than anything.

"No, he's not my friend yet. I just talked to him." Taehyung proclaimed as he stole one of Hoseok's lamb skewers.

"Did he have any piercings, or tattoos?" Namjoon asked, raising his eyebrows. Namjoon had 9 tattoos and 6 piercings. Yoongi on the other hand had 12 tattoos and 11 piercings.

"He had 3 earrings in one ear and in the other he had 1." The younger scoffed as he drank water through is swirly straw.

It all mattered a lot to them. The appearance was everything. They had to look troubled ass kids. That was the point of being bullies.

The only friends they had were each other and they wanted Jimin to be on their side. No guy had ever wanted to to start conflict with neither of them, but Jimin didn't seem to give a fuck.
