Perfect Time (jimin fanfic)

I can't do this anymore.

I smiled at last at my Uber driver while thanking him. I took my luggage and walked away from the car and into the busy streets of Seoul.

This is the beginning of my journey. Away from my family. For the first time, since the day I was born. Back in Daegu, I had worked a part-time job to save up money for this day. Not enough to support me with an apartment, however, enough to help me at least being alive. It was my only way, patience is not a strength of mine but rather a weakness. So I could only save up for food and enrol myself into a school in Seoul, online.

While walking I saw a park on the other side of the road. I quickly crossed the road as I kept dragging my luggage behind me. With heavy steps I walked through the park looking for a spot to sleep tonight as right in front of me, I had found a bench. God must love me.

I smiled as happiness had taken me over, over the thought of finally being able to sleep. I opened my backpack that I had with me as I took out a blanket and a large black hoodie, thick enough to keep me warm. I zipped open my jacket and put it aside and wearing only a tee shirt did nothing good as the cold summer breeze danced on my skin harshly. Quickly I changed into my black hoodie and wore my jacket over it. I laid down on the bench as I put the blanket over my head and the rest of my body.

And sleep had won me over in mere seconds.

My senses had awaken, as I heard the noises of Seoul's people, the busy traffic as the sun shone brightly. And mind my extremely aching bones, stiff as it can get.

And that ladies and gentlemen, had put my poor senses on alert.

School!
Shit, the first day and I'm already late.

I quickly got up from the bench, searching for my phone. Looking at the time.

6.30

Yup, definitely fucked.

My mind in an extreme mess, I organised my luggage and packed away my blanket in my backpack. Without waiting for another second, I ran out of the park with my luggage trailing behind me and of course my phone in my hand, securely.

So the first day of school consisted of:
Going around asking for directions for the store that sells my school's uniform (yup, I had not picked my uniform up already but I did pay it online back in Daegu), the lady who sold the uniform was kind enough to take my luggage and have it until I was finished with my first day at school. As well as me waiting for a damn driver to take me to school (took me ten minutes...). Last but not least, I had gotten my schedule from the principal, well after having a serious conversation on being tardy on my first day of school.

And that is how I ended up standing in front of my 'supposed' to be homeroom class, trying to introduce myself without having a full on panic attack.

"Sorry, for being late...extremely late." I looked at the teacher on my right, anxiously.

"You know it's an exception since it is your first day. However, first day and you are already late, it makes me wonder what will happen for the rest of the year."

...

"What are you waiting for? Introduce yourself. We do not waste time in this classroom" A stern look from the teacher was enough to shake my whole world.

Jesus, chill will you.

I looked forward avoiding any eye contact with any of my classmates. However, I knew a thousand eyes were piercing through me. I could literally feel the many stares. An overwhelming feeling was gnawing up on me.

"Hello, I am Kim Aruem, from Daegu." I bowed. An overdose of nervousness hit me.

The teacher quickly brushed me off and slightly pushed me towards an empty seat at the back corner. I awkwardly walked straight. Thoughts of not making a fool out of myself while walking was clouded in my mind. Anxiously I didn't look anywhere else but my feet and my seat and the chair I was supposed to sit on. And for the rest of the class I did not look up at the teacher, not even once.

Anxious thoughts like these fills my mind everywhere I go. Pointless but important for me. Unimportant but it does not leave my mind for a second when I'm out in public.

Ding Dong Ding Dong

The harmonious bell rang throughout the halls of the school. And in seconds my whole class had gotten up and faded into the ocean of students outside who all went in one direction.

I let out a deep sigh. Guess it was lunch. Taking my sweet time, packing everything up that I had used under the lesson (which is not that much so I don't know why I am being dramatic) as I walked out into the empty halls.

"Do you need help getting to the canteen?" I looked up to find a tall brown haired boy staring at me questioningly.

"Yeah, if you do not mind." I have manners, thank you.

"Not at all, I'm Jeon Jeongmin."

"I'm Kim Aruem, nice to meet you."

"The pleasure is mine." So formal, ew.

"That was too formal wasn't it?" I gave him a nod, a furious one.

"Too much." I added. Jeongmin let out a sigh.
"Whatever, let's just go." I chuckled at him as he gave me smile back.

We walked into the canteen filled with students. Gosh, I'm already not liking this.

I tugged at Jeongmin's blazer - gently of course. If gently means tugging at a person making them stumble backwards.

Jeongmin looked at me as if I was out of my mind.

"Can we just get our food and go outside?" I asked him desperately.

"Sure." He looked at me with his eyebrows raised in amusement while a chuckle escaped his slightly chapped lips.
