Tae's POV


You know that story which begins with a new student introducing himself to the class. Yes, this how this story will begin, and I'm the new student. I can hear the students whispering and wishing that a beautiful girl with a short pleated skirt would slide the door open, but sorry to disappoint you guys. I am a boy with pale grey pants and a white chemise. 

I open the door, and everyone's attention is directed to me. In the past, I would've been nervous, but now it is different. I am used to transferring, so guess what? I am completely confident. I can sense the disappointment coming from all the boys, but I just grin and continue walking to the teacher.

I stand next to her and look at all the students. My eyes quickly scan the class to notice only one person not looking at me. He is resting his head on the palm of his hand and just staring outside through the window. The sunlight is falling on his black hair, making it glow.  From the vibe around him, he is either the loner of the class or the coolest one. 

I need to know. You can say I am that sociable character, and that guy who doesn't love to see loners in any class. To be honest, I usually transfer, so I like leaving something behind for people to remember me. Most of the time, I end up with many friends but no best friend. It is okay though, and everyone is my best friend.

"Taehyung" A soft voice whispers in my ears, snapping me back to reality. I exhale and start my usual introduction. "Hi!! everyone, I am Kim Taehyung. Sorry for not being a girl as most of you wanted" Giggles could be heard from the girls, and the boys lower their head in shame, earning a chuckle from me.

"I wish that we can get along well" I raise my hand, giving the class a 'V' sign.

Everyone claps their hands, and I bow my head as if I am a popular K-pop star. "Park Jimin" the teacher calls the class president. A short figure stands up. I really don't even see a difference between him sitting and standing. He runs his fingers through his Caramel brown hair. Wait!! What am I thinking about? Am I hungry or what?

"Show our new student around in the break, okay?" she says sternly as he nods and waves at me. I notice something interesting. His fingers are too small. I scream in my head. Okay, really I should stop. 

"Where should I sit?" I ask the teacher who points in front of the cool or lonely guy. I march at where she pointed and sit. The air from outside hits my right cheek as I sit, making me chuckle. "What is wrong with you?" an annoyed voice asks from next to me.

I turn my eyes to see a frown. Honestly, I don't want problems, so I just apologize. To my surprise, a smile brightens his face. Was he joking? 

"Hi, I am Jung Hoseok. Nice to meet you. If your seat is bothering you, we can switch". He leans towards me and cooes in my ear "Your place is actually mine, but the teacher seated me here, saying that I was daydreaming. To tell the truth, I wasn't daydreaming. I was just staring at the girls, so can we switch"

I giggle at him and raise my hand "Teacher, can I switch with Jung Hoseok". She narrows her eyes at Hoseok dramatically then sighs. She seems to me that she doesn't want that, but she gestures an approval. 

Hoseok wiggles his arms in victory and picks his pencil case, book and bag. I also pick mine and we both exchange our seats. My eyes catch the cool or lonely student. Because of my long stare, he shifts his eyes towards me.

Our eyes meet for a few seconds before he darts his eyes somewhere else, flustered. Bingo, a loner! I should make sure to not leave this school before he gets some friends. 

My phone buzzes in my pocket, so I quickly take it out. I look at the message and smile.

Jin: How is the new school? send 8:15


You: Everything is fine, I guess. send 8:16

You: And yo|

"Kim Taehyung, leave the mobile," the teacher yells at me, making my hand shake. I gasp as the phone slips from my hand. Luckily, I manage to catch it before it falls then sigh in relief. Suddenly, I hear all my classmates laughing at me. My face flushes, and I apologize to the teacher.

JIN!! 

-------- Lunch Time --------


"Taehyung, let's show you around," Hoseok stands up and announces. I giggle at his excitement and go with both him and Jimin. The three of us start to walk in the halls. The tour is quite enjoyable especially because of Hoseok's jokes. They are all about the girls, but let's ignore this part.

After finishing, we go to the cafeteria to eat. We sit and commence eating. My eyes scan the place to see that guy sitting alone. He is just concentrating on the food and nothing else. Maybe, I should ask about him now.

"Hey, guys! Who is that?" I point by raising my chin at him. They look at him, and Hoseok makes an 'O' sound. 

"His name is Kim Namjoon," Jimin states then adds after taking a bite of his sandwich,"He isn't someone you should deal with" Jimin swallows. I keep staring at Namjoon for a while then shift my eyes to both of them, asking "Why? Did he do something?"

"Nop, he is just hard to deal with," Hoseok sticks out his tongue and fan it with his hand. Jimin laughs and says "I told you not to eat spicy food. Just admit, you can't handle."Hoseok whines, and I hear him calling me to defend him, but my thoughts are just somewhere else.

How to start a conversation with him? I ask myself multiple times. 

"Kim Taehyung, do you hear me?" Jimin yells in my ears, sending shivers down to my spine. I look at him and rub my hair "Sorry, what were you saying?"

"We were inviting you to come along with us. Hoseok, me and others will go Karaoke tonig-"

"Yes," I shout eagerly. They both laugh, and my face flushes. Before I know it, the lunchtime ends, and we all return to our classes. I sit in my seat, and he enters afterward. Everyone looks at him. They all give him strange looks which I don't like. 

When he sits, I turn to him. 

"Hi, I am Kim Taehyung. Nice to meet you" I give him my boxy smile, but he just nods with a somehow blank expression. I keep my smile and add "I am going Karaoke with my friends here. Wanna tag along?" 

He blinks then nods. Grea- 

"But I will only pay for myself," he says, taking me in surprise. 

"S-Sure"
