"He's so weird." Taehyung heard from those behind him. He clenched his cheek and turned around, his gaze scaring the group. They hurriedly walked away, leaving Taehyung alone.
He didn't even frown.
He just had a blank expression.
Taehyung heard laughter and someone crying. Standing up from the mat, he followed the sound and seen a group of bullies teasing this girl.
"HEY!" He yelled, scaring them as he walked towards them. Grabbing her hand, he glared as they walked towards the teacher. Taehyung pointed to the three students and they were pulled outside.
"Are you ok?" she nodded, wiping her face. He notices the bruise on her arm, gently rubbing it. "Thank you. What's your name?" she asks, looking up to the boy with brown hair.
"Taehyung. Taehyung Kim." "I'm Y/n. Thank you for helping me." she thanks him repeatedly. "It's okay. Those guys were big dummies."
"You wanna go play?" He nods excitedly and they ran to their own space.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Y/n drops her bookbag, pushing the men away. "I'll get my brother on your asses if y'all don't go." Glaring at Taehyung, the duo walked away. "Weirdo." Taehyung was about to fight until -
"Come on." Y/n grabbed his hand, pulling him to the clinic. "You didn't have to do that." She shakes her head at his stubbornness, pressing the alcohol swab onto his lip. He hissed, pushing her arm away.
"You need to ignore them. They are struggling themselves so they have to put that pain onto someone else." "Bullshit! Haven't you heard what they said about me?!" he was broken. "I'm ugly! I'm weird! Who would want to be around me?!"
Grabbing his face, she made him look into her eyes. "Taehyung, you are not ugly. You are beautiful, both on the inside and out." he sniffles, wiping his tears. "And so what if you're weird? BE WEIRD! This just shows that you aren't being yourself. Those who talk shit about people being themselves are weird and ugly." Y/n expressed.
"Whenever YOU want to change, YOU will. Because when you change, you'll change for the better. Don't let any asshole tell you when you should change yourself because then you're doing it to please a crowd of people who don't give a shit about you." she continued.
" There will be people who love you for you. And I and proud to say that I am one of those people." Taehyung listened as she ranted, soon pulling her into a hug. "Thank you for being there for me." she smiles wrapping her arms around his neck.

Taehyung paced around the room, nervous. "Hey!" Y/n called out, smiling as she caught his attention. He never realized this before, but she was so beautiful.
"You look beautiful." "Thank you." they smiled as they embraced each other. "Thank you so much."
"Taehyung-ah, who's this lady?" His band mates were curious.
"Jimin, 여러분, this is Y/n." she greets the boys and they all sat down together. As they all talked with each other, Y/n tapped onto his shoulder.
"I told you." they watched as the boys got along. "There will always be people who love you for you." "Are you still one of those people?"
Y/n then turned her head to face him, nodding. "I'll always be one of those people." he smiled, wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pulling her closer. "These boys care about you just as much as I do." She whispered, playing with his fingers.
He looked down, grabbing her hand and interlocking their fingers. She smiled, heat rising to her cheeks as she watched him and Jimin bicker over the last dumpling.
