Busy corridors.
Noisy chatters.
Friends hang out.
Ambiguous announcements.
What a fun morning, yay!

❝ Haera, Haera! ❞

Taehyung whisperedly shouted
at a narrow passageway, near the stairs.
What is it that he wants this time?

❝ I'm giving this back to you ❞

As he handed me a neat,
clean folder and inside
is the drawing I made,
a mother and child

❝ I'm sorry, it's a little bit crumpled. I didn't realised that there was a drawing at the back, so I just put it inside my pocket ❞

❝ It's okay, it is just a sketch. I don't need it anymore ❞

❝ You don't need it? I mean, were you supposed to throw it away? ❞

I nodded,
hoping he'll leave me alone now

❝ If you're just going to throw it, can I just have it? ❞

❝ Th - That's fine, you can take it ❞

❝ Jjinja ❞

❝ Uh, if you want ❞

He smiles like a little boy.
I can't believe this was the same boy,
the same Taehyung from yesterday

The same Taehyung,
whose cruel eyes
gave me chills

❝ You'll give this to me for free? ❞

❝ It's just a sketch ❞

❝ Well, I can't just take it for free
❝ Let's see what I can do for you? ❞

Please just leave me alone.
As when I was about to turn my back on him

❝ I'll protect you! I'll stand by you if anything happens ❞

Well, I don't need it

❝ One more thing, if ever you need feel like fooling around, I'll lend you my body ❞

❝ Will - Will you lend me your body? ❞

I shouted back at him,
as he kinda fell
from the stairs

❝ Mworago? What did you say? ❞

In the 16 years
that I have been living
in this world.
I have never said

❝ I want you to model for me ❞

Anything so bold,
in my entire life

❝ Should I undress now? ❞

I shook my head vigorously

❝ My heart was pounding cause I thought you wanted a model ❞

I gulped at his sudden confession,
and same,
my heart's pounding too

❝ But can we go to the art studio, so I can concentrate on sketching you? ❞

❝ Of course, I thought we are just going to do this in the hallway ❞

I led him
to the empty art studio.
I couldn't believe myself
that I have said it.
But I couldn't avoid myself
from saying it either

❝ Uh, would you mind taking of your top shirt only? ❞

He was so beautiful

❝ And then, what do I do? ❞

❝ Can you please sit in that chair and be still ❞

❝ I can sit whatever I want? ❞

❝ Yeah ❞

I thought,
he was just playing around.
But,
I was moved.
He's willing to help

❝ I can't believe I'm modeling for you ❞
❝ I heard some rumors about you though, is it true that you hate men? ❞

I froze.
Rumors?

❝ Then, it must be that you like girls? ❞

❝ Can't you sit still? Its hard to sketch you when you keep moving around ❞

❝ I'm sleepy ❞

As he even changed his position.
He has such a beautiful face,
even up close.
No wonder, many girls fall for him

〄 〄 〄 〄

The next day,
still the same.
Noisy chatters can be heard.
Silly jokes here and there,
nothing new

❝ Taehyung is sooo hot
❝ I know right, I want to snag him
❝ Slim chance though, he got a girlfriend ❞

Taehyung, really is popular.
A senior for a girlfriend, wow.
And it's Hwang Miyoung no less,
calling to talk to him

❝ Tae, let's break up
❝ It's because your still a junior and got a lot of time to spare, unlike me I need to prepare for the college entrance exams ❞

❝ Oh, okay ❞

I know it's not good to eavesdrop.
The thing is, I don't even understand
what they are saying.
Is this alien talk?

❝ Wait! What is wrong with you? ❞

❝ Miyoung-sshi ❞

❝ Is it true that your fooling around with your new girl in the art studio?

❝ You mean Haera? I haven't done anything with her, yet ❞

❝ What? ❞

❝ Why are you so mad? I thought you wanted to break up? ❞

❝ It was a stupid thing to do, I was jealous!
❝ I even bought you a Ulysse Nardin watch ❞

❝ I didn't ask for it ❞

❝ Where is it? Give it back ❞

❝ I don't have it anymore, I pawned it ❞

❝ Then which is more important, me or your bike? ❞

❝ The bike, of course. Do you still have to ask that? ❞

Oh my, Taehyung!
He got beaten by a girl.

He went straight to me,
with a scratch on his face

❝ I guess, I can't model for you now with this kind of face, can't I? ❞

❝ Hwang Miyoung did it? ❞

I saw him tensed

❝ No, the cat did ❞

Oh! There must be a cat,
that wears nailpolish in school.
Liar!

My impression of him, changed.
He walked up to me, just to tell me this

If this was the old me,
I would have thought that
guys like him will destroy me

Although, I know,
for the fact, that
he is a bad boy
and he pushes the boundaries

❝Tae, English is about to start ❞

❝ Yoongi, I'm sleepy ❞

But, I don't sense any selfishness.
I think he is just confident.
This world is just full of selfish people,
and there's nobody
who can save the world from them

No matter,
how good you hide your feelings.
Your selfishness seeps slowly,
that your true self reeks.
Spreading an awful stench

❝ So, let's have someone do this sentence construction ❞

❝ But Mr. Junmyeon that's so hard ❞
❝ This is not fair ❞

I can't believe,
that this man
could do such thing

If Taehyung
hadn't walked in that time

❝ I believe, you're practicing hard at your after school classes and even doing your homeworks. I just want to see how much you have learned ❞

❛ I'll protect you ❜
Well, I think
that is not so bad at all.
Someone who is willing
to protect someone like me

❝ Tae, you're up ❞

❝ Huh? What's happening? ❞

❝ Taehyung, you try it ❞

Is he out of his mind?
Of all people?
Taehyung doesn't take after school classes

As Taehyung went to the front,
I could see Mr. Junmyeon smirking.
I can't believe this

Taehyung looked confused.
Oh God, please help him

❝ What's wrong Taehyung? You're the big man in court but not in class? ❞

Taehyung turned to look at me,
and smirked.
What?

❝ This is your fault that I woke up ❞

As he took the chalk
and wrote on the blackboard
This teacher who you think is a good man,
is actually a dreadful person,
who ually harasses his students after school.

Mr. Junmyeon had to erase
what Taehyung just wrote.
He didn't expect it from Taehyung.
Nobody did

❝ What does that mean? ❞
❝ ually harass? ❞

❝ Nice try, but I lived in Los Angeles for 10 years and I know my English ❞

❝ What, you're bilingual Tae? ❞

❝ Oh, didn't I tell you? ❞

❝ No, you didn't ❞
❝ Unbelievable Tae ❞
❝ Yoongi how come you didn't tell us? ❞

I can't believe this,
his english is perfect.
His grades though are not so good
cause he barely shows up in class.
But I heard he was one of those
who actually managed to get
a perfect score on the entrance exam

〄 〄 〄 〄

Taehyung's motorcycle is precious to him.
Riding and racing with it became habitual.
For Taehyung, this is his life

❝ My breaks!! ❞
