[ Chapter 1: Begin ]

Jungkook woke up super early. A bit earlier than usual. 5:33 in the morning. He sat up, grimacing in pain, due to the soreness all over his body. His back and legs hurt, especially his arms. Oh, especially, his arms. He rolled up his sleeves to see all the forming scabs on his forearm. There were tons of them. Enough to freak anybody out if they saw how many there were. He was surprised he didn't straight up pass out that night.
He rolled out of bed, quickly beginning to get dressed and brush his teeth. He tried to be as quiet as possible, not wanting to wake his mother up. He knew his step-father was already at work, thankfully. He got ready as quietly as he could, not even bothering to eat breakfast. He'd rather let his parents have the food instead. It's not like he's able to eat very much anyways...

Jungkook got out of the trailer he lived in, walking down the road with his head staring down at his feet. He knew his path well enough to not really have to look up that often to know where he was going. He didn't really want to go to school, but he honestly didn't want to be home either. Both places were equally as bad.
Once he got to school, he immediately rushed to his locker. As usual. He put what he didn't need inside of it for the time being, desperately hoping nobody would mess with him today.

However, he was stupid enough to hope for such things. Unfortunately, his... 'boyfriend', Baekhyun stopped by his locker.

"You didn't answer my texts last night." He sounded angry. Angrier than usual. Jungkook didn't make eye contact, slowly shutting his locker. All he could manage to whisper was, 'I'm sorry'. "What's that? I can't understand you. Learn how to fucking speak!"

"I'm sorry that I didn't get to them." Jungkook mumbled, a bit louder this time. Baekhyun scoffed at him.

"Sorry? That doesn't cut it, Jungkook! How many times do I have to go through with things like this with you?!" Baekhyun half-yelled. "First, you don't listen to me. Second, you don't even try to help me. Third, you never did my homework. And now this? Really?" he growled, grasping a Jungkook's face tightly. Jungkook gulped, shutting his eyes.

"I-I-I'm... I'm sorry..." Jungkook whimpered. Baekhyun shoved him into the lockers.

"I'm done with this, Jungkook! All you ever do is disappoint and hurt me! No wonder why everybody hates you!" Baekhyun yelled. "And no wonder fucking why your parents hate you!" With that last comment, he slammed Jungkook in the lockers as hard as he could, leaving a dent in Jungkook's locker. He punched Jungkook in the gut, earning a grunt from him. He huffed and speed-walked away. Jungkook shut his eyes again, wrapping his arms around his stomach.

Jungkook was used to this by now. It didn't really phase him at this point. He mentally scolded himself for Baekhyun's 'pain', knowing he was the one who caused all of this. That's what he thought, at least. Weakly, he stood up and slung his bag over his shoulder properly again. He ignored the stares of judgement and glares, making his way to his advisory.

"Settle down! I've already noted attendance." The teacher spoke over all the talking students, making sure all of them quieted down. "We have a new student, as you may or may not know. He is right outside the door. Please, make him feel welcome. And girls, don't overwhelm him." She said as she eyed a few girls that were known to thirst over boys all the time. The teacher walked over to the door, smiling at the new student as she opened it for him. He walked in, Jungkook not even bothering to look up from his book. He didn't even listen the entire time. The new student gave a short bow and a sweet, anxious smile toward everyone.

"Good morning! I'm Kim Taehyung, moving here from Seoul. Um... I hope to get to know you all and have a good year with everyone! If you have any questions, I'll try my best to answer them." Taehyung bowed a little again, glancing back at the teacher.
