Chapter 3a

Yoongi POV

On the way to School

I walk slowly, dragging my feet on the ground. With my head bowed, my hands in my pockets and bag sliding in the dirt, I make my way to school. I'm so distracted, I almost trip when my phone starts to ring obnoxiously loud. Taking out the android from my back pocket, I see it's my sister.

I have a smile on my face as I answer, but lower my voice to mock annoyance. "Ah, Yoonji- ah,what is it?"

"Boy, you better get your lazy butt to school, you're already late!" I hold the phone away from my ear as my twin screeches. 

"Jeez sis, I'm coming."

"It's the first day of school, Yoongi." She reprimands. "At least wait a day before you start slipping."

I don't reply and hang up but quicken my pace. As I walk, I see a small pile of leaves some person raked, probably from this morning. Feeling bored, at a glance, it catches on fire. Checking the time (9:40), I venture off the path towards the burning leaves. Breathing in the intoxicating scent of the smoke, I raise up my hand. Instead of the flames going up, the move towards my hand. I watch unflinching as it engulfs my right arm up to my elbow.

My arm does not burn, but my jacket does, so I pull back. A short old man hobbles out of an rusty pawn shop across the street. "Yah, Min Yoongi! Get to school, you nuisance- I just raked those leaves!" He hollered, shaking a bony fist.

I immediately put out the fire and pat my arm. "Sorry, ahjussi!" I call back, bowing.

I start to run when the old man sends a gust of wind to trip me up. Laughing, I go faster and reach the school in minutes. Man, it'd been a while since I've ran.

"Mornin' Barry." I nod to the young security guard at the gate. He lets me in without a word.

Realizing now that I'm more than a little late, I rush to my homeroom class. When I push the door, it bangs across the wall a bit loud, but I ignore it, searching for my friends. I only glance in Sunbae's direction for a second- we need no introduction since she was my rec teacher last year. 

I look over the rats in the front row and look to the back. I see Jin hyung, my sister, Namjoon, Taehyung, Jungkook... I smile in Hoseok's direction when he calls out to me. I start towards my seat behind him, but see a small body already occupying the space.

My eyes widen in shock when my gaze reaches his face. He looks exactly like.... No- that's impossible. It can't be.

I feel my temperature as this new person looks at me in my face, while he sits in my seat, by my best friend, looking exactly like him. Who even is this kid? I glare at him and he looks down. But Sunbae doesn't make him move so I reluctantly move to the back.

The only empty seat left is slightly isolated because last year there was a kid that couldn't control his ability and caused trouble for most of everyone sitting near him. The homeroom teacher last year moved his seat. Too lazy to move it back, I leave it, plopping down. As I get my books, I feel a gaze on me. I look up, hoping it's Hobi, but it's just the new kid.

I glare at him, still upset I couldn't sit by Hoseok and still confused as to who he is. To my satisfaction, he gets flustered and looks away. He seems quite weak. He wasn't weak.

When he is dragged away after some conversation I didn't hear by Taeyeon sunbae, I'm quick to sit in his- my seat. "Yoongi hyung!" Jungkook cheers. "We missed you!"

Hobi just grins at me and we do our handshake. "Sup." I say lowly.

"Hi hyung." Taehyung whispers back. "It's been a while."
