Chapter 1: Experience

Education, was it really needed?

School should help students to learn and explore more things that they are capable of. It's fun they said but not for Taehyung.

School felt like a prison to him, he rather wants to lock in his own room than be with different students who dislike him. He knew that school should help him gain some confidence and be more open with others but how can he do that if they didn't like him?

Every time he goes to school, his anxiety attacks him.

He wonders why schools do education but can't educate students about their behavior.

He shooked his head and sighed, he was currently standing in front of the University where he was studying. He hugged the three books close to his chest and bit his bottom lip. He went inside hoping no one will acknowledge his presence and be invisible to them.

He goes to his locker room to put his books inside and get the other books he needed for his subjects today. Once he opened his locker, he wasn't surprised to see many sticky notes posted inside. It's not because of admiration towards him but to say harsh words, surely made by those immature teens just to bully him.

He ignored it and put his books inside and took the books he needs. He closed his locker and turned around to leave even though he can hear them silently laughing at him.

"Fatty, it's been a while."

He was sure who owned that voice, none other than Jungkook himself who was in front of him. He walk passed him but he felt a weight around his shoulder.

"Now ignoring me, how cruel of you." Jungkook chuckled acting as if they are sort of friends.

"P-please, just leave me alone." Taehyung tried not to stutter to show he was strong.

"Why? I want to befriend you. How's your summer break?" Jungkook smirked when they stopped suddenly.

"Y-you don't need to know." Taehyung swallowed hard, clutching his books tightly.

"Well, I'm curious, why don't you tell me, hm?" Jungkook grinned knowing how terrified Taehyung was.

"I told you, you don't need to know! Please leave me alone!" Taehyung accidentally raised his tone due to annoyance.

He gulped, slowly moving backward when Jungkook was approaching him. His breath hitched when his back was pressed against the wall. For some reason, he felt Jungkook was hovering over him even though there are size differences between them.

"Now you dared to raise your voice to me? Do you want me to teach you a lesson, huh?"

The boy in front of him was glaring at him as if Jungkook will kill him with those piercing eyes. He noticed that Jungkook's voice became deeper and more terrifying.

"I-I'm suh-sorry, I-I didn't mean to do that, I-It was an a-acc..."

Taehyung can't comprehend a proper word because his fear slowly eating him up and he was shaking nervously. It was so obvious with his shaky tone and his eyes trying to avoid Jungkook.

"Jungkook, come on dude, stop scaring him. Let's go now, we're late."

Suddenly, someone interrupted them. Taehyung looked to his right side seeing one of Jungkook's friends, Jimin who seem calm while walking near them.

"Hyung, this nerd fat boy dared to fight with me. I just want him to know his place." Jungkook sternly said, gritting his teeth.

"Leave the nerd alone, you are wasting your time. Let's go." Jimin grabbed the back of Jungkook's collar and dragged him along with him.

"Watch your mouth next time, fat boy, or else, I'll show you how I will end you!" Jungkook yelled while getting pulled away.

Taehyung sighed in relief, he sat down on the ground and hugged his knees. He silently cries still shaking in fear.

-----

He went late to his class with his eyes red and swollen due to crying. His nervousness didn't ease because the professor of the class he had to attend was strict mostly when it comes to being late.

"You're late, Kim." He heard Mr. Han's voice while he was at the door.

"I-I'm sorry, prof, something hap---"

"Stop making excuses, stand beside the board, and squat down for 15 minutes." Mr. Han scolded him.

"But sir, I..."

"Or do you want me to expel you from my class? Now, do what I told you." Mr. Han interrupted him once again.

Taehyung sighed in defeat, he put down his bag on the floor and stand beside the board. He bit his trembling bottom lip seeing his classmates literally laughing at him. He squats down while looking at the ground to avoid their judgemental stares.

"If you move, I'll put books on your head and hands, do you understand, Kim?" Mr. Han warned him.

"Y-yes, prof." Taehyung mumbled.

He should know that he can't make excuses, he knew that everyone in this school hates him even that professor that supposed to be the student's second parent. Besides being ugly, they hate him because he was a scholar, and the university was made up of only rich people.

He luckily got accepted because he succeeded to passed the University exam for the scholarship. Out of 1,000 students who tried to be a student of this university, only 10 passed the exam.

And half of the scholars left due to the bullying and being left out while the others were still experiencing the discrimination of the University. 

Yet, Taehyung stayed for almost 2 years now because it will be easy for him to be accepted to the job he wanted if they found out that he graduated from a prominent University. And he wants his mother to be proud of him.

She's the only person who truly loves him. There's no way he will disappoint her. He doesn't want her to be worried about his situation because his mom was weak and they are poor, their complaints won't work anyway.
