Too Young | Jikook

41

A week or so passes and Jimin begins to feel less and less guilty. Junghyun could've been a lot more sympathetic and understanding. 

School is going well. His grades are all strong and he's up to date with all of his work so his stress isn't overwhelming. It also helps to have an older boyfriend who can give you all of his old notes.

His favorite class so far is biology. He's always been kind of a science nerd, so it's not too painful to learn about. 

He's on his way to his biology class one day when he realizes he left his textbook with all of his homework in his locker. He has only 3 minutes to get it before the bell rings so he rushes.

He reaches his locker and fumbles with the lock for a few seconds. When he opens it, he freezes. His textbook is there, but it has large red letters written on it with what appears to be a sharpie.

'faggot'

He doesn't cry. He doesn't even tear up. All he can manage to do is stare at it. 

He grabs it and slowly picks it up. He rubs his eyes to make sure he isn't imagining things, and sadly, he isn't.

Who did this? It had to have been someone who knew to code to the lock. Jungkook knows it, but he wouldn't do this. He's a jokester, but he wouldn't do something like this. It's too serious.

He looks around and sees that the hallway is almost empty. He checks his phone and sees that class is about to start, so he closes his locker and holds the textbook close to his chest so no one passing by can read what it says.

He hurries to his class with a million unanswered questions in his head.

The teacher finishes reading the last slide of the powerpoint and stands up. "Alright. If you could all take out your homework, I will be coming around to collect it. Also, get your textbooks out. We'll be taking notes on chapter 24 for the rest of class."

Jimin gulps and takes his textbook out of his backpack and sets it on his desk facing down. He quickly notices that it's written on both sides. He opens it and sees that his homework is nowhere to be found. Some of the books pages are ripped out or torn in half.

By the time the teacher arrives at his desk, everyone else is talking loud enough to hide their conversation from any eavesdroppers.

"Mr. Park, do you not have the homework?" She glances down at the book and sees one of the torn pages. She stares at it with a gaping mouth for a moment before adjusting her glasses. "What happened to your textbook?"

Jimin sighs and closes it. "Someone did this... and they stole my homework, too..."

The teacher gasps softly. "Oh damn. Have you talked to the principal yet?"

"No. I found it like this in my locker right before class."

"Why didn't you go to the principal?"

"... I didn't want to miss class."

"How about you go right now and show it to him. There's cameras in the hallway. You could find out who it was."

theories? I mean, I already know who you guys will think it was, but no harm in asking.
