The noise from the classroom was louder than a construction zone at work. But the moment the teacher walked in, the place would suddenly turn to vacuum.

She was pretty young, but was a strict teacher with a really sweet name, Cho. However, she was always kind to Jimin.

Often, Cho would go to Jimin's house and teach him calculus, because, she knew, he sucked at it. But as his roommate, at first, Seok Jin hated that.

He was never the one to be comfortable around women. The only woman, he used to talked with everyday, was his mother. So, the uneasy feeling around Cho, would make him feel really uncomfortable as if she had invaded his privacy.

But he couldn't just ignore her either so he slowly started approaching her and talk with her. Somehow, it was only a matter of time before they started going out.

It didn't really bother Jimin at first. But, as time went, he was left alone by himself, that's what he thought. As a 15 year old boy, the feeling of being lonely grew soo hard over his head, that his brain cells collapsed with each other.

His head would think incredibly stupid thoughts like,

Yeah! Cho. How did I fall for it? I really thought she cared about me. No no. I'm stupid. How can someone care for me? She acted as if she cared about me, so that she could get close to Jin hyung. Yeah that's true, A weird little boy I am, with no parents and a brother who abandoned me for his girlfriend. The only one I'm left with is me. But am I though?

Saying these, he'd cry for himself to sleep. But the loneliness still would crush his soft heart. It was an hour past midnight. He looked in the mirror, with his sleepless dark brown eyes , "Hyung, I'm sorry. But you owe me one as well" He squawked with his teary eyes, shaky voice and trembling heart, as he jumped out through the window.

Little did he knew that his hyung was watching Jimin throughout his mental breakdown. Jin's guilty feeling of leaving him alone didn't know how to react to his feelings. So, he instead stood behind the smooth curtains of his door and wiped his tears that rolled down his rosy cheeks away.

Though, Jimin didn't know what he was doing, he did whatever his brain instructed him to do, because that somehow made him feel at ease.

Countless nights has he done that now, but the one time he was caught, the unfortunate little boy needed to be sent back to his mother. He'd rather go away somewhere else than to return to his hometown and that's exactly what he did.

So, okay I'm really sorry but I forgot to mention that the story takes place in the year 2013 (the story's present) p.s this chapter is written as his past.
