"Jeon Jungkook..." Tae kept mumbling the same name over and over again. As he was lost in his own thoughts, he bumped into a boy.

"Watch where you're going."

"Sorry about that." Tae helped him pick his books up as he interrupted in between.

"On second thought, have I ever met you before?"

"No I'm new here, Hi I'm Taehyung."

"Taehyung huh? I'm J-Hope. Boy really you must know you're looking damn hot in this outfit."

"Thanks." He grinned at him.

"So listen up, there's a party at my house tomorrow. I don't invite a lot of people but I'm gonna make sure you're present there. So should I expect you there?"

"Oh, yes absolutely I'm gonna be there."

"Great give me your number, I'll text you the address."

"See ya tomorrow." Hoseok exited the hallway.

Taehyung sat alone at lunch, not even bothered but he would really like a friend right now.

"So Taehyung, how was your previous school?" He heard Jungkook. Quite shocked he was to see him sitting with him.

"Umm I-It was fine I guess, better than this shit place."

"At least don't take out your frustration out on Jackson High, It's a great school you just have to get used to it."

"Spare me this talk Jungkook, why are you even sitting with me? don't you have like multiple girlfriends to hang around?" Tae felt all eyes on them, people whispering about them, he decided to ignore that.

"If you don't like me sitting here I'll go, you were sitting alone that's why I came but someone's clearly bothered with my presence."

"Listen, I didn't mean that. Sometimes there's a lot of stuff I don't mean. By the way Jungkook?"

"Yah?"

"You coming to the party tomorrow? at Hoseok's?"

"Obviously, you should know Hoseok first invites me then rest of the school."

"Why?"

"He's my best friend what do you expect?"

"Anyways I gotta go, I have to do something important. See ya around." Jungkook exited hastily.

"Umm o-ok see you too?"

School was almost over and Jin wasn't here to pick him up, he was about to call him but remembered they both never exchanged numbers. The bus was about to leave, so Taehyung decided to hop on it. He sat in the back seat and plugged in his headphones. Inside the bus literally everything was happening, boys were being maniacs, girls grinding, students sticking their tongues in each others throats, it was more like he was viewing stuff happening inside a club and not a normal school bus. He was disappointed but not shocked.

Tae stepped out the bus on the bus stop near his home. He walked all the way back to home. As he reached he saw Jin getting on his bike and strapping his helmet. As soon as he saw Taehyung he got off.

"Oh my god Tae, I'm so very sorry. I couldn't get off the shift-"

"Hyung it's no problem at all, don't worry."

"Wait how did you come?"

"The bus dropped me back at the bus stop."

"You walked all the way? Listen just don't tell mom please!"

"Alright but you owe one."

"Fine just don't tell mom"

They walked inside the home, Tae without greeting her mother went upstairs and jumped on his bed.

"Ahhh finally I missed you so much."

Jin entered behind him.

"Hyung can I ask you something?"

"Sure." Gazing at his phone.

"Can I go to a party tomorrow?"

"Depends, who's party is it?" still not looking up.

"Hoseok."

"Jung Heseok?" Suddenly he looked at Tae.

"How do you know him?"

Who doesn't, his family is the richest family in Jackson. He's known for his looks, money and the parties he throw, they're unmatchable. Like literally he throws a party 4 days out of 7. Take a hint."

"Ok that sounds cool, so can I go?"

"Yes you can, when is it though?"

"Tomorrow."

"Alright, and remember me, Ana and mom are going somewhere tomorrow so grab a bite from there don't come home hungry."

Taehyung was lying in his bed using his phone. He opened up his call logs to see if Jimin called again but unfortunately he didn't. He was about to quit the app until he saw an unknown number which called him last night at 3. Tae tried to remember who called him but all he could remember was that the caller said don't go to school at any cost and then he hanged up. He thought maybe he should call back and he did.
Phone kept ringing and ringing, Tae decided to drop the call but instead someone picked up the call.

"Hello?" Tae sat up straight and was quite nervous to hear who it was.

"Why did you call me Taehyung?" A man with a deep raspy voice on the other side attended the call.

"How do you know my name? Who are you?"

"Taehyung boy, that doesn't matter, what matters is you didn't listen to me and now you're gonna pay for it. I told you to skip school today was it such a hard thing to do? If u don't exactly follow my instructions it will cost you a lot. Now listen I'll call you again tomorrow with a task you have to do and if you don't do it I'll not even warn you before hurting you or someone you love, understand?"

"Y-yes, why are you doing this to me?"

"You don't need to know that part. Just do what I tell you and nothing further." He hangs up the call.

Taehyung was so nervous and intimidated right now. He had no idea what to do now, who to tell. He was sacred shit but decided to keep his mouth shut.

Taehyung sulked along the halls at school the next day. Frightened of what will happen to him. He had never been this cautious. He was placing his books in his locker as Jungkook came from behind.

"Hey taehyung what you doing?"

"Ugh damn it Jungkook u scared me."

"I see, someone gets scared really easily huh." Jungkook leaned on to Tae. They stood just like they did before, their eyes met. It was like everything else slowed down or paused.

"Anyways you coming at the party tonight right?" Jungkook moved back and asked him.

"O-oh yah, yah I am. See you there."
Tae panicked and shut his locker and moved towards his class. Jungkook kept standing there and looking at him, until he disappeared into the class.
