An hour and a half. That's how long I slept. I wake up feeling dead. I just want to go back to sleep this instant but do I have a choice ? I don't think so. I get up and stumble across my room towards the bathroom to proceed to my morning routine. I look and feel like shit. When I'm done, I grab my backpack and head to school. I'm in the mood for nothing not even school. But I can't skip school. I walk like a zombie I feel so unhappy. There are always such bad days in one's life. So I guess today is not a good one for me.

I can't stop thinking about my fucked up self. Yes everything is fucked up about me. My life, my flat, my face, my body, my personality, my sexual orientation. And on top of all those flaws, there's something I'm constantly reminded of : the fact that I am an orphan.

My parents died years ago from too much working. We were poor so they worked their soul off to provide for our family. But I just needed them.. Unfortunately their overworking caused their illness. And their illness caused their death. After the doctor announced their death, I ran away from the hospital since I absolutely abhorred the idea of living in an orphanage. I lived in the streets for some months before a nice and handsome guy that looked like he was older that me generously suggested for me to live in the apartment complex his father owned. His name was Kim Seokjin.

First I told him that I was broke and couldn't pay the rent. But he insisted saying that they could help me pay the rent till I find a job to pay them back. I couldn't be more grateful. Even if the flat was shitty it was way better than nothing.

After this day, Jin hyung and I grew close until the day he had to travel aboard in order to pursue his studies. I was very sad at first but I got over it eventually. I found two part time jobs to pay my rent. I work as a waiter in a little cute cafe named 'Koya's' for the day and as a cashier in a convenience store for the night. I was on leave till today. Which means that my shift starts tonight at the convenience store. I sigh.

Back on track, I am finally at school. Funny thing is I didn't see a certain someone driving past me with a haughty ass stare today. I sigh I don't even give a fuck now. I hurry into my classroom and look at the sky through the window since I don't feel like paying attention to whatever Mrs. Chan has to tell about Yi Mun-Yok.

I feel like today's gonna be a... Different day by the second I wake up. I get ready and go eat the yummy breakfast my eomma made for me. After that I go to school in my car. As usual, I see that hobo walking on the side-walk but he seems off today somehow. I don't know what's wrong with him - and I don't want to know - , but he's so deep in his thoughts that he doesn't even notice when I drive past him while giving him a stare. I decide to shrug it off. He may have gotten up the wrong side of the bed. I go into the classroom and see him looking through the window with a bored ass stare. I sit at my desk and write something bad on a piece of paper before crumpling it and throwing it to this little bitch Jungkook. He doesn't even react. I frown and leave him alone.

Lunch time.

Jungkook is speaking

Everybody is eating at the cafeteria. I didn't see Jiminie today. I try to call him but he won't answer so I decide that I'll skip lunch today however I'll definitely drop by his house after school. I put my earphones on and start listening to music while contemplating the beautiful blue sky.
I guess I ended up falling asleep since it's 4PM when I wake up.

"Shit.." I mutter when I realise that I actually missed all of my after noon classes. I stand up and get out of the school. I go to Jimin's house and ring the bell. No response. I knock on the door. No response. I call Jimin on his phone. Still no response. I'm starting to get worried. He would've called or texted me if something happened right ? After an hour of trying to contact Jimin and his family then waiting, I walk to my flat. I have to get ready for my shift at the convenience store. However I can't help but sense something fishy.

Taehyung is speaking

It's strange.. Jungkook didn't eat lunch and go to the rest of the classes. He's really odd. Anyways as I walk towards my car while being on my phone, I see that I have two missed calls from a strange number which is not saved in my phone. Turns out it's the hospital. I decide to call back immediately ; if it's the hospital, then it must be important.

"Hello ?" A lady picks up.

"Yes ?"

"Are you close with Park Jimin ?"

"Yes I am what happened ?" I ask abruptly worried as fuck.

"Well he was involved in a pretty serious and bad accident and we couldn't contact his parents so we called the last person he called which is you.." she said.

"I'm on my way." I say before hanging up.

I get in my car and drive in the speed of light to the hospital. I go to the reception lady.

"Park Jimin." I say stressfully.

"Room 154." She tells me.

I waste no time to go to his room. I see him occuping the large bed in the center while talking to a kind looking nurse. When I close the door both of their attention is directed to me.

"Hey Jiminie you scared the shit out of me.." I say once I see him.

The nurse looks uneasy, so does he. I frown and tilt my head in a questioning way, as I don't understand why they are acting that way.

"Who are you ?" He asks me and that's it. My world freezes.

"And here is the time I come in and tell you he suffers temporary amnesia." The nurse tells me quietly so he doesn't hear.

I look at her like she just stabbed me then go to Jimin's bed.

"Chim hyung you don't remember me !? I'm your best friend Taehyungie !" I try to be cheerful but I'm the total opposite. I'm a mess on the inside.

"Hmm... Not really.." He croakes.

I stay frozen while looking in the space. I don't know if I want to kill someone or if I want to cry..

"Hum.. So you are my best friend..?"Jimin awkwardly attempts to start a conversation.

"O-oh yes I am, along with Jung--"

Suddenly, an idea pops in my mind. I stop.

"Along with..?" Jimin trails off, all confused.

"Oh uh sorry.. I was saying I am Kim Taehyung, your longtime best friend along with Jung Hoseok, Kim Namjoon and Min Yoongi.. We're a clique." I say while smiling.

Bye Jungkook ! It was a pleasure fighting with you over MY Jiminie but it's over now ; I won and you won't have no friends left. You'll stay alone like the loner you are. You deserve it you little shit.

"Oh Ok.. Where are.. My parents ?" He asks.

"Your parents are on a business trip in the USA.." I say truthfully this time.

"So you will have to live with me in the mean time. Don't worry Jiminie they know me and my parents very well, since we were in kindergarten in fact. Plus if something happens, my butlers, guards and parents are near.." I add reassuringly.

"Oh well thank you Taehyung for being here for me !" He says with genuine gratitude and happiness.

"It's okay Jiminie it's what friends are meant for.."
