- 6 years ago, Busan -
Jeon Jungkook was a humble 15 year old teenager, leading a relatively normal live in Busan, South Korea. Due to his family's economical situation, his parents couldn't afford to pay for their son to have a prestigious education. So instead they had to place him into a public school. However a lot was coming Jungkook's way. Once he got into highschool, his high intelligence and iq were quite visible to the staff and professors in the school. For once Jungkook had a leap of faith, everything in his life seemed to be working out for the better. He even got noticed by his's school principal for his intelligence and immediately was transferred to the most prestigious and expensive highschool in the district, with full scholarship.
    Once he had transferred a brand new journey was set and ready for Jungkook to embark on. Life just kept unfolding itself, just for Jungkook to experience. For once in his life he was finally able to get a small glimpse of real happiness. And it shined through all his troubles momentarily. However once the first week of being at his new school had past, Jungkook's momentary bliss came to a halt. Day by day his happiness got torn to pieces. He was getting bullied and it had severe impact on his mental health. He began to spiral into depression, he slowly but steadily became numb. He would just cut himself in an attempt to feel something... anything. Later on he became abusive of cigarettes. All in an attempt to keep himself from falling apart and busy enough to not pay attention to his problems. At that time he discovered he was gay, which only became just another reason to self loath and hate himself even more. He couldn't accept his sexuality, he couldn't accept that he wasn't "normal", as he had everyone else  believing. Everything about him was fake, in fact a silly façade he projected to make himself feel "normal" among the others. His little act came to a halt once his mother realized how miserable her son was, in reality. Jungkook's mother felt useless, but continued to push through it all. Until she couldn't handle seeing her son crumble into insanity, she had to do something. She and her husband had a big talk with Jungkook, and thank the lord, he started opening up to them about his troubles. The both of them accepted Jungkook's sexuality and supported him, by offering to send him to a psychologist.
      But even though Jungkook had opened up to his parents, he still felt miserable. His depression and anxiety filled thoughts were stack with him. He couldn't take it anymore, he was tired of everything and everyone. Tired of pretending everything is fine, that he's perfectly normal, that nothing is going on, that he's the perfect student with the perfect family and the perfect social life. He was tired of being "Jeon Jungkook the role model student".To compensate for his mental overload, crying and smoking a joint after he had finished his self loathing in the boys bathroom, became a nearly everyday habit of his. He just needed a small dose of a mental breakdown to be able to make it through the day. One day Jungkook was going through his everyday moping, in the far end bathroom stall, as per usual, when somebody walked into the bathroom. He could hear footsteps getting closer and closer to the bathroom cubicle he was currently in. His heart dropped once the footsteps stopped right in front of him. One thousand thoughts raced through his mind right at that moment. "Could it be one of his bullies? A classmate? Who is it? Who could it be?...", he thought to himself trying to make sense of the situation. He was used to not locking the door of the stall, because nobody ever came to this bathroom, since it was at the far end of the school wing. But that cost him once that person opened the stall door wide open, in search of  the source of the crying he heard a few seconds ago. To that persons surprise a coconut haired boy curled up into a ball, appeared in front of him. The boy was shocked once he saw how red and puffy Jungkook's eyes were. "He looks awful, I wonder what he's been through to be in this awful state",  the boy thought to himself and immediately embraced Jungkook into a tight hug until he had calmed down.
