Jungkook POV

Today's the day, after working all summer to save money so I could afford my college expenses. I'm finally moving into the dorms, wanting to get that full college life is my goal. Hopefully even I'll be able to go on some dates, in high school I was openly gay and many people accepted me. Yet I never really dated or went out often with friends, since I was always stuck at home taking care of my siblings or working at my full time job. Of course I still have to work a full time job, I refuse to take any of my familys money knowing they could use it for my siblings.

"Jungkook honey?" I heard a slightly knock and the door slowly opened. Exposing my mother with a tear stained face.

"Mom, Don't cry or else I'll start to cry!" I whined rushing to her giving her a tight hug, while she caresses my hair

"You're getting so big honey, I don't want you to leave although I know you'll be fine." My mom said softly into my ears

"Make sure you call me, at least once every week!" She said slightly pushing me away so she could make eye contact with me.

"I promise I'll keep you updated!" I said frowning as tears started to pool in my eyes.

" No, crying only I can do that, now go your uncle is waiting for you!" She respondes gripping my shoulders and pushing me out of my room towards the main entrance where my uncle stood waiting for me.

"Mom! My bag le-" I started before getting cut off

"Claire go get your brothers things!" She yelled having Claire running to get my things, I knew she wanted me out so she could take my room tsk.

"Mo-"

"Don't mother me now go before I tie you to the basement and never let you go!" She said in a slightly joking matter but I didn't fail to notice her change in tone.... she was crying

"Let's go champ." My uncle said pushing me out the door as Claire handed him my last few things.
We slowly backed out and I pulled down my window and yelled " I LOVE YOU!" To my mother

"I LO-LOVE YOU TOO!" She said as she choked on tears, I slightly smiled wiping a few tears. I plugged my earbuds and slowly drifted off to sleep.

"Jungkook!" A voice said
"Wake up we're here!" It continued
"Huh?" I said rubbing my eyes
"We're here, champ!" Now realizing that my uncle has been talking to me this whole time.

"Right, we are I said looking at the upcoming school." I signed slightly frowning

"It's a shame you didn't get accepted into Seoul University, I know you really wanted to attend it." My uncle said

" Yeah it is...." I said remember how difficult it was to maintain a full time job and go to school. My grades sadly took the hit and my dreams in entering into Seoul's best performance school shattered. To make feelings worse the full time job I managed to get was only a 5 minute walk from Seoul University, the irony am I right?

"We're here Jungkook lets start unloading" he said as he stopped the car in front of the dorms.

*Time skip*

After much hard work, and some students helping out I managed to make one friend and his name is Jackson. He patted my back as my uncle drove away and told me everything was going to be okay. Sadly right after, he left because he had volunteered to help freshman unload, but not before we traded phone numbers.

I smiled looking at my now furnished room, I had paid a little extra to get a solo room, just because I'm not the best social person, and I miserably have always sucked at making friends, Jackson just wouldn't leave me alone after seeing I wasn't reacting to his advances to talk to me.

I signed and laid in my bed for a few minutes, not liking the gut feeling finally settling down. I didn't want to be here, I hated where my life was taking a toll too. All because I lacked up and now my dreams are slowing disappearing.

"It's just a phase." I said choking on my tears and soon I began sobbing.

"It'll be all over, I can transfer next year." I said trying to give some type of reassurance to myself although I knew it was all false.

I stood up wiping my tears away, and walking to the restroom to freshen up staring at the mirror as I saw my pathetic state, I slight smiled in hopes that tomorrow will be a better day.

Waking up to finding out that you're late to class wasn't the best way to start your first day of college.

"FUCK!" I screamed jumping out of bed grabbing whatever I could and rushed out of the dorms to my first classes of course also getting lost and having to ask students frantically where class T56B was at.

"Sorry," I said as I slightly bumped into someone as I was rushing to class

"Jungkook?" The voice said,

"Hey jungkook, why are you in a hurry???" The voice said again running up to me grabbing my shoulders, which caused me to turn to stare at the culprit that now made me more late to class, and of course it's Jackson.

"Yeah, I'm late to class I have to go," I said turning around only to be halted by what he said next

"They delayed classes didn't you know?" Jackson said

"Um , no I wasn't really aware? Is there a problem going on?" I responded now noticing his group of friends giving us side glances from where they stood.

"Oh some performance kids from Seoul university, came to do a small dance at the cultural festival, and since Kim Taehyung was one of them coming to perform the director knew a lot of kids would skip class anyways." Jackson responded in a matter of fact tone

"Wha- why don't we have our performance students dance??" I asked confused only to have Jackson burst out laughing

"The performance school here is a joke, I feel bad for anyone enrolled in it." Jackson said in fits of hysterical laughing only stopping when he noticed my frown and mood become gloomy.

"Oh- I didn't mean it li-" Jackson tried to reason only to be cut off by me.

"It's okay I understand Jackson," I said giving a forced out smile

"I have to go though I'll talk to you later." I said turning around ignoring his calls for me to talk to him. Great way to make me feel more pathetic then I already do.

Walking back to the dorms was faster then expected until a whole bunch of screaming and running students came at my direction causing me to fall down. Soon tears started to pool up threatening to fall down.

"Hey, are you okay." A new voice causing me to look up,
His beauty was eternal, he gave me this slight boxy smile and extended his hand for me to grab, I noticed how a whole crowed started to form staring at our interaction like it was from one of those clingy dramas.

"I-I'm okay.... thank you" I said bowing down after taking his hand avoiding eye contact in fear.

" Hey, Taehyung come on" a new voice said making Taehyung turn and nod not giving me a second glance as he walked away.

I began picking up my stuff that had fallen and rushing back to the dorms in hopes at this point missing school.
