It was only after 30 minutes that Jungkook could gather himself and leave the rooftop, but class had already began.

His lateness earned him detention for the very first time. Adding to that, his history teacher promised to call his mother and report he had not done his homework.

Jungkook felt miserable for the rest of the day. His eyes were red and puffy, and anyone could almost guess he had been crying.

He had caught Taehyung staring at him when the history teacher had asked everyone without their homework to leave the class. He could have sworn he had seen an iota of guilt on Taehyung's face, but Taehyung had told him he was not going to feel guilty, so he dismissed it. Taehyung was proud himself; of breaking his heart.

After school by 3, he stayed back for detention. So, he had to go home by 4pm with a written letter from the principal for his mother.

At home, Jungkook didn't feel any better. He didn't bother showering. He only changed out of his school uniform and locked himself in his room, crying.

He hadn't had a single thing to eat since the previous afternoon at Jin's place when they had snacked on chocolate waffles while watching their movie. He felt hungry, his stomach grumbled but he couldn't bring himself to eat.

Jungkook drifted off to sleep and woke up when he heard a knock on his door.

"Jungkookie," Namjoon sang from outside his room.

He felt really tempted to ignore Namjoon, and just block his ears with a pillow.

"Jungkook, open up, please. I'm sorry about this morning, yeah?"

Letting out a sigh, Jungkook got out of bed, wiping his face with his shirt before opening the door.

"Hyung," His voice cracked as he leaned against the door frame.

"Did I wake you?"

Jungkook yawned and nodded at the same time.

"What is it with you and sleeping so much these days, are you pregnant or something?" Namjoon teased.

Jungkook didn't find Namjoon funny. He didn't even appear the least bit amused like Namjoon who was grinning from ear to ear.

"Anyways, I found this." Namjoon put up a familiar envelope.

"That's for mum, from my principal."

"I know, I read it. You actually want to give this to her? She's going to kill you if she reads this."

Jungkook stared at the letter, curious at what his principal must have written.

He took the letter from Namjoon and read through. Why was the man reporting him like he was a rebel of some sort? He had been a good boy up until that moment. Not like he wasn't a good boy anymore, but he was going through a really hard time and nobody was understanding him.

"This is only my first time in detention," Jungkook complained.

"You didn't do your homework. You went late to class and does she know you skipped school yesterday?"

"I was sick."

"Still. You know mum, Jungkook."

Jungkook felt his eyes start to water, so he pressed his palm into them.

"What am I going to do then, hyung?"

Namjoon sighed. "Don't worry about it." He took the envelope from Jungkook.

"Are you going to show it to her?"

"What part of 'she'll kill you' didn't you hear? Of course I won't show it to her," Namjoon said, shoving the envelope into his back pocket.
