Chapter 14 - It'll Be Okay

[Ring, ring, ring.]

I slowly opened my eyes, being woken up by a loud noise and a bit of light hitting my eyes.

I covered my face as I turned to my right. I grabbed my phone, turning off the alarm.

I rubbed my eyes and yawned as I went back into the covers of my bed.

I honestly don't feel great today. I feel a bit sick, or maybe I'm hungry. I might have a headache, but it's not too bad.

I soon picked up my phone again, looking at the time.

6:46

I have a few more minutes until I have to get ready.

I unlocked my phone, going onto Instagram.

I looked through my feed, liking posts and going through stories.

After a bit, I got up and went to the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face.

After all that, I went back to my room and changed into my school uniform.

I then went to the kitchen, where my mom was packing food into mine and Sunmi's lunch bags.

"Morning Yoongi!"

"Morning, mom."

"Sunmi left earlier but forgot her lunch, can you give this to her when you're at school?"

"Oh, sure."

I picked up both mine and Sunmi's lunch bags.

"Alright, thank you dear! Have a good day at school, okay?"

"Mhm, see you later mom."

I went to the living and put on my shoes.

Shoot, my bag.

I ran back into my room and quickly picked up my bag, harshly swinging it over my shoulder as I had two bags in my other hand.

I ran back out into the living room and left the house.

Right when I stepped out, I saw Sunmi running down the street.

Did she realize she didn't have her lunch now?

I held up the two bags I had in my left hand.

She slowed down and wait for me to come near her.

I quickly walked to her side, handing her lunch bag over.

"Thanks, Yoongs. I didn't realize I forgot it.."

"No problem. Wait, does that mean you forgot your lunch for the past two days?"

"No, I packed my lunch myself, but today I was in a rush."

"Oh? How so?"

"My friends said to meet them at 7:30 sharp today, or they're going to leave me alone the whole week."

I looked up at Sunmi, seeing a bit of sadness in her eyes.

"It's no use anymore. Even if I run, I'd be a few minutes late."

"Are you sure they're your friends or?"

"Nonsense, they have to be, they're not like the girls back in our other school."

"How are you so certain?"

".. I'm not. I just really hope they're not. I want to try to fit in for once, you know? Try to have some regular friends like you had. You know, with Namjoon and Hoseok?"

"Mhm... What period do you have lunch?"

"I have it right after 4th period."

"Oh, we have the same lunch periods."

"Mhm. What about my lunchtime, anyway?"

"Do you want to hang out with me and my friend?"

"Friend? Not plural?"

"Just one."

"Really? People have been talking about you a lot. I hear it in the halls, it's weird."

"I heard some seniors talk about you once when I was passing a table on the cafeteria."

"Oh wow. We're a popular bunch, aren't we?"

"I guess... I'm not sure why it happens but whatever.."

"I'm not sure either, Yoongs. Anyways, yeah, I might tag along with you and your friend. What's their name anyways?"

"Kim Taehyung."

"Oh, I've heard about him a whole lot. Everyone calls him gross and whatever, but I don't know him, so I'll save my judgment for him later."

I nodded to Sunmi as we approached the school.

I saw a small group of girls near the entrance. They're yelling for some reason and a bunch of people surrounded them, some laughing, some pointing, some shocked.

"Hm... What's going on there..?"

"I don't know. I know those girls though, they're my friends, so let's go see what's going on."

We walked on over there to see the girls making fun of someone.

They were throwing words at them like 'murderer' and 'killer' and a lot worse things that I don't want to keep in my head.

I looked over at Sunmi, seeing the anger in her eyes.

"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THEM?!"

Sunmi yelled at them so loud I covered my ears and closed my eyes for a second.

I opened my eyes one by one.

I saw the girls looking from Sunmi to me back and forth.

"H-huh? What are you talking about Sunmi?"

The girls were trying to look innocent in front of Sunmi. I'm not sure why they're acting like that, but I slowly went around them as Sunmi kept yelling at them.

I went around them and saw who they were yelling things at.

T... Taehyung?!

"Tae?!"

He was sitting down, one hand covering his face, the other on the floor.

I pulled him by his arm and took him away to the restroom.

I hope Sunmi is going to be okay with those girls...

I shook the thought out of my head, she's strong, she can defend herself.

She'll be okay.

When we got to the restroom, I went inside with Tae, peeking past the wall in there to see if anyone else was there.

Luckily, no one else was there.

I took Tae in and looked at him.

He didn't look too hurt physically, besides one of his cheeks being red, but he had tears running down his cheeks as he breathed out small sobs.

The sight poked at my heart, making it hurt a lot.

So I took him into my embrace, hugging him tightly.

"It'll be okay, I'm here. You don't have to worry much more."

I patted his back and tried to be as comforting as I could to him.

I don't want to see him like this.

I want him to be okay.
