Taehyung wasn’t expecting anything good about this day, he’s still sunken in his seat, not really paying heed to what the teacher was speaking.

Taehyung just needs to get through the day.

--

No matter what, Taehyung couldn’t get rid of the dreadful feeling at the pit of his stomach as the bell for lunch rang. Taehyung had tried to avoid all contact the two boys during class, Jungkook in particular. But there was no way to get out of this.

So as Taehyung had begun packing his things up, he had finally noticed the notecard with the request written across it. Very uncertain about what there was to talk about, Taehyung looked up and noticed that he had been left behind, again. Flustered, Taehyung just thinks ‘Well he did say after school..’ as he grabbed his things and quickly left class.

As Taehyung made his way toward the cafeteria, he didn’t know what to expect. Would he sit with that same group that made fun of him behind his back? Could he just forget all the things that had occurred, all the things he had heard?

Even as he reached the cafeteria, Taehyung, lost in his numerous thoughts, failed to realize a group of boys sitting at a table quite a bit ahead of him whispering about him.

“Honestly Jungkook. Why are you even friends with that guy? If you don’t start severing your ties with him you’ll never make it to the top. He’s just a freak.” Scolded Namjoon to the younger. Namjoon honestly had no reason to hate Taehyung, but he just wasn’t cool enough to hang out with them. He was quiet, a little strange and Namjoon believed Taehyung held back Jungkook from doing things.

“Well.. It’s not like I want to! It’s forced… It’s not my fault our mothers happened to be best friends and pregnant at the same time. He can be pretty annoying though, he doesn't have any other friends apart from Jimin and I. I can’t just leave him behind either, he does understand me…” Jungkook said, whispering the last part at the end. Jungkook really did love Taehyung, after being friends for so many years, he had considered him a brother. Even so, Jungkook did admit that Taehyung could get clingy, need so much attention and reassurance from Jungkook that they were friends and it just got on his nerves. Jungkook needed a break, a much need break from his friend, even if he knew that they completed each other.

Hoseok, on the other hand, was absolutely fuming. “How can you judge him like that Namjoon? He’s not even a bad person! He’s done absolutely nothing to you but you just keep acting like an ! And you!” he said, pointing at Jungkook, “You’re no different. How could you say that about him? That kid loves you so much and you’re just gonna drop him for popularity? You’re pathetic.” and with that Hoseok jumped up leaving a shocked Namjoon and crestfallen Jungkook; he quickly grabbed Taehyung’s wrist, who had just arrived, not hearing any of the conversion that just occurred and pulled him away.

“Ah Hoseok! Um where are we going?” Taehyung, startled, yelps. The confused boy was just being dragged along for no reason. ‘What’s going on?’ he thought, not receiving a reply from the older boy. “Hoseok!!” he then yells again.

Hoseok, quickly snapping out of his angered state, let’s go of Taehyung’s wrist to turn around and face the confused boy. “Oh, whoops! Sorry Taehyung! I didn’t mean to drag you off with me!”

“Okay..? Did you need something then?” The boy the replies innocently.

The older male curses at the people who try to hurt this poor boy, he was such a poor soul, why would anyone hate him?

“Right..I…I just wanted to ask you if you could help me on my homework!”

Taehyung, now completely dumbfounded retorts, ”Hoseok… you’re a junior.. and I’m a freshman… I don’t have you in any of my classes..”

Hoseok, groaning internally at how stupid his reply was merely laughs shyly, blushing, chokes out, “Haha.. I guess I forgot.”

Taehyung, suddenly very amused at the situation at hand begins laughing. So hard in fact that he begins to weep in joy.

Hoseok, now mesmerized by the younger’s laughter begins to join in as well, not noticing a figure standing in hiding behind them.

“That’s so funny!” Taehyung laughs, still completely charmed at what had just occurred continues to laugh at the elder, flustering him.

“Y-Yah! Stop laughing kid! I’m still older than you!” he retaliates, fake anger in his voice. Hoseok was still completely enchanted at the younger, his rectangular smile and deep laugh made his heart flutter.

“Ah.. Sorry Hoseok!” Taehyung responds, still giggling at his bright and funny elder.

The boy in hiding, watching the interaction between the two, gets jealous at the slight.

 ‘He’s my best friend! I should be making him laugh! But.. Namjoon told me that he’s not worth it… but Tae knows me better than anyone. Is this really worth it?’
