Amnesia

The two boys arrived at their first class, that of which all of the students snapped their heads to look at Jungkook.

There weren't a lot of students, considering the fact that classes hadn't quite started yet, so the students were in no real rush to get there. That being said, though, there were still around five students, and currently staring the living daylights out of him.

"Good morning," Namjoon bowed, greeting the teacher, that of which Jungkook did the same in panick, "this is the new student."

"Well, hello!" The teacher beamed with a brisk tone.

Damn, is everyone this happy around here?

"I hear that you're coming from many years of home study. Now, I know public school is a lot to get used to, much less a public high school, so I'm going to try very hard to make it easier for you." He said with a smile.

Namjoon Bowed Slightly once more before showing the shorter boy to his desk, coincidentally right in front of his own.

"I think I've covered most—"

His words were cut off by the ring of the school bell, simultaneously triggering a chill up Jungkook's spine.

"If you need any help, I'll be happy to assist you." Namjoon said with a smile, sitting down in his own desk as he adjusted his glasses.

Students began to flood in at the rate of the boy's pulse. He was so nervous he felt like crying, but obviously that wasn't an option in a situation like this.

"Students, if you haven't noticed already, we have a new student at our school." The teacher made eye contact with the said boy and motioned his hands for him to come to the front. Honestly, how could he have not seen this coming?

With a shaky sigh, Jungkook stood up and walked to the front of the room.

"Why don't you introduce yourself to the class?" Mr. Lee said.

Jungkook took a deep breath in hopes to calm his nerves, before bowing once down to his waistline. "Hello, my name is Jeon Jungkook. I will try my best in the class."

Jungkook didn't know what he was expecting to come after that, but when he heard the class fall silent after his little speech, his heart nearly stopped altogether.

"Alright, Jungkook, you may go back to your seat, we'll begin the lesson now."

"Since this is Senior's English, I don't want to hear any full sentences in Korean. Only when you don't know the meaning of a word. Everything else, English!" That sentence alone made Jungkook's neck hair stand on edge.

Sure, he had learned a few English words here and there in his brief moments of elementary, but he wasn't even near fluent, and the dozens of confident faces around him made it all the more clear how terrified he was.

Someone must've seen the way his eyes trembled with fear, because he felt a light tap on his shoulder. Jungkook turned tot he left to see a beaming smile.

"Do you need help?" The boy said with hopeful eyes. He seemed so excited that Jungkook could almost see his feet tapping under his desk.

"Uh, yeah—thank you."

"Great. I'm Jimin. People usually call me chim, or chimmy," the boy reached out to shake the other's hand, "I'm also gay." Jungkook nearly choked.

How could someone be so open about something so personal like that? A part of him felt a little unsettled, having barely known the person, but the other part of him wished for this boy's courage about such sensitive topics.

"I-I'm... Jungkook. Nice to meet you, Jimin." Jungkook said with a halfhearted smile.

Now that he realized, the boy was wearing a big, baby blue sweatshirt that said baby in round, yellow font. He wore a pair of bleached skinny jeans with rips running along his thighs like a dirt path.

"It's nice to meet you too, Jungkook." He said with a smile.
