Joonmyun's POV: 

"Have a good day sweetheart"... really? A good day? Can't she figure it out by now that I've NEVER had a good day since I started this nightmare of a school! Everyday someone does something to me like tripping me up, knocking my books out of my hands, insulting me... other people see it and do they do anything? No, they just stand there and watch. Why was I labeled the geek of the school? I'm not the only one who gets good grades, I don't even come top in tests all of the time! Why me? 
"I'll try my best" I reply with a smile as my mother nods and I get out of the car and stare at the building in front of me. 

"I can do this" I mutter to myself and make my way into school. So far all I get is stares as I walk through the halls... which is pretty normal... Krystal hasn't turned up yet so she'll just probably get me when I go to my seat... as usual... as if this day couldn't get any worse 
"Hey look it's Joonie"... it just did... 

No one's POV: 

"Here you go" Kyungsoo said as he passed Joonmyun the last of his books 
"Thanks" Joonmyun muttered and took it before finally standing upright and making his way into class 
"Poor kid" Chanyeol said and Kyungsoo nodded as they took their seats and Sehun came jogging in just as the bell went 
"Everything sorted?" Chanyeol asked and Sehun nodded
"Yeah, we don't find out who we're hosting until the New Year though" he replied 
"Hoping you get a hot girl?" Chanyeol asked and Sehun rolled his eyes.

"Are girls the only thing you think about?" he asked
"Either that or nothing" Kyungsoo replied and whilst he and Sehun began laughing, Chanyeol sat there pouting at them and Joonmyun sat in his place glaring at the three of them. 

-------

"Aw look it's Joonie again" said one of the bullies, followed by laughter as Joonmyun made his way down the hall 
"Why are you ignoring us Joonie?" another asked and still Joonmyun didn't answer them 
'Just ignore them Joonmyun' he thought to himself as the bullies began to follow him 
"We're talking to you Joonie" one of them said as he finally stepped in front of Joonmyun, blocking his path 
"I'm not called Joonie" Joonmyun finally muttered 
"What's that, we didn't hear you" another bully said as he and the others leant in, causing Joonmyun to roll his eyes. 

"I said I'm not called Joonie... and I don't want to talk to you" Joonmyun replied, causing the bullies to laugh 
"To bad, we're not finished with you" another said and they began to close further in on him 
"Oi" a voice said behind them and when they turned to look, saw Jongin standing there
"Let him go" he said and reluctantly, the bullies moved away 
"You got lucky Kim" one of them muttered before they walked away and before Jongin could say anything, Joonmyun had run away to the comfort of the library. 

.........

In the library, Joonmyun feels safe. None of the people who bully him really come in here... which can be backed up by their poor test scores. In here he can get on with his work and get it all done so he doesn't have to stay in as late as everyone else does. In here he feels like he can be himself and nobody will judge him or taunt him for whatever he does... to bad he doesn't really have a set group of friends to be himself around and that why he's so jealous of everyone at the school. Everyone at the school had at least a friend they could hang out with everyday and chat to... Joonmyun? He had basically nobody. Nobody talked to him... apart from Kyungsoo and his friends rarely... and wherever he went he was bullied... what was the point in him even being here? 

"Hey" came a voice and Joonmyun sighed 
"Let me guess, you're here to check to see if I'm alright because Jongin probably told you about what happened earlier right?" he asked and Kyungsoo paused 
"W-well yeah that's what people do" he replied 
"Well I'm fine, I'm use to all of this... happy now?" Joonmyun asked and Kyungsoo shook his head 
"You're lying" he replied 
"No I'm not" Joonmyun replied and Kyungsoo raised an eyebrow. 

"Don't believe you now tell me what's wrong" he said 
"Why?" Joonmyun asked 
"Because I'm trying to help you" Kyungsoo replied whilst Joonmyun scoffed 
"No you're not, you're just here out of sympathy because you feel sorry for me" he said and Kyungsoo sighed 
"Joo-"
"FINE! you want to know what's wrong? It's everything and everyone in this ing school... I hate it! Everyday I walk through those halls and someone always trips me up, says something to me or throw something at me. Why? What the hell did I do in my past life to deserve this? I feel suffocated in this place. Everyone knows I'm the 'geek' and nothing else, if I try to talk to someone they only walk away because they don't want to be friends with me... you and your friends only talk to me out of pity... you only come to speak to me after something has happened and I'm fed up with all of this. And now... now I just think the world would be much better if I didn't exist!" and with that he grabbed his stuff and walked out of the library.

Red, red, red. In the sink, tiny bit on the wall and staining his arm. Yeah it hurt and stung a lot but for Joonmyun... he actually found it quite comforting... watching the blood fall down his arms, it felt like weight was being lifted of his shoulders and yet he didn't know what weight it was; the weight of not knowing whether he was good enough for this world? Or the weight of knowing he was probably going to be nothing but the bullies chew toy for the rest of schooling days? 

"You alright in there?" his dad asked knocking on the door 
"Y-yeah, I'll be out in a bit" Joonmyun replied and a clean up and few bandages later, he was ready to once again face the world... 

Hey guys!! 

So I added this chapter because I felt like Joonmyun didn't really... I don't know how to explain this... I felt like he needed a knock on effect from the bullying and he'll be of significance to bringing Jongin and Kyungsoo together in future chapters. Plus if anyone knows of my previous work they know I like throwing stuff like this in... so please don't hate me!!

Until the next chapter!!
