Jimin kept on running and running, until he felt his legs weakened. He slowed down, but then tripped on his own leg and fell down on his face. He was scraped in a few places - mostly hands and knees - but its his pride that hurts the most. With his face on the grass, he just lie on his tummy, and let the tears flowed out his eyes. He was tired, and today was the most tiresome event that had happened in his life. He was humiliated in front of the whole school. The whole damn school!

Jimin flinched a little when he heard soft steps on the grass, but relaxed again when he heard Jungkook's voice asking if he is okay. With his face still on the grass, he just nodded a little, before he could feel Jungkook sitting beside him, and the next thing he knew was his face was on Jungkook's lap.

"Hyung..." Jungkook slowly opened his lips, before he took a few strands of grass off Jimin's hair. Jimin just let Jungkook do what he wants. He was in too much pain and shame to care anyway. What he knew now, he was crying, and he couldn't seemed to stop. He hated himself for being so weak, yet there he was, crying on Jungkook's lap like a baby. He continue to sob for quite some time, until he felt his eyes hurt and his tears finally stopped and dried up on his cheeks.

Yoongi just looked at his dirty clothes, still a bit shock from the news he just received. His eyes trailed to where the bowl was on the floor.  He was dumbfounded, as he slowly went to the table where his friends was waiting. Namjoon was standing, looking very worried, while the others were sitting down, keeping their eyes close on Yoongi.

"Are you okay?" Namjoon asked as soon as Yoongi came close to him. Yoongi just let the question slide and he slumped down on the chair, sighing. He looked straight towards Taehyung, who sat right in front of him, on the other side of the table facing him.

"Why didn't you tell me that Jimin is mute?" Yoongi looked at Taehyung on the eyes, his face blank, showing no expression. Taehyung gulped his saliva. He was cringing inside, because he had never seen this side of Yoongi for a long time.

"I..I thought I already told everyone." Taehyung said, stuttering a little as he tried to avert his eye contact with Yoongi. Yoongi suddenly felt a fire burning inside him, making him feel all hot and fiery inside. He had the urge to thrash and punch somebody now, but he managed to calm himself down.

"He did, hyung. When both Jimin and Jungkook first came into this school." Hoseok cuts in, looking at Yoongi weirdly. "Don't you remember?"

Yoongi just let out a deep sigh. If he had remember it then, maybe he wouldn't be so mean to Jimin. And right now, he was feeling kinda stupid and mean towards the said boy.

His mind started to wander aimlessly. He noticed that he did that most of the time lately, but he just couldn't help it. And usually at the very end of his aimless wandering, it will keep centering on Jimin. An unfamiliar name that tugged a sense of familiarity in his heart. A name that made him felt angry  and pity at the same time. And most importantly, a name that made him go all nuts.

He scanned the room again, looking at the mess on the floor. He sighed as the face of Park Jimin came in his mind. He sighed as he looked at Taehyung.

"Tae, you have Jimin's number?" Yoongi asked casually, trying to hide the fact that he felt a little too guilty about what had happened before. However, his heart sunk when Taehyung silently shook his head. He was about to open his mouth but Taehyung cuts him.

"No, hyung. I won't ask Jungkook now. He'll probably get mad at me for what you did, you know. So, I'm not gonna ask Jimin's phone number." Taehyung said and looked at Yoongi, his eyes stern.

"Okay fine. Screw you." Yoongi muttered under his breath, before he stood up and walk away from the cafe, and headed back to his classroom alone.

**********

It took Jimin two days before he mustered his courage and decided to get back to school. He'd been playing sick - with the help of Jungkoook, of course - so Mrs. Jeon put him to bed and let him skipped the school for the last two days. Somehow feeling guilty, he decided that it was time for him to face the shame. Besides, he is handicapped, and his life hasn't been all rainbows before. Beside, what could have hurt him after what Yoongi had done?

Jimin slumped his back on the tree. He was at a secluded place, far from everyone. The stares and whispers he'd been getting from nearly everyone in school is making him felt like puking. And the fact that Yoongi and his friends were at the cafe on lunch time made Jimin lost his appetite. He just need some time alone to calm his nerves down.

The wind blew softly on his skin as he closed his eyes. The sound of the leaves ruffling ease his worries, as he slowly dozed off, but he was woken up again by the buzzing vibration from his pocket. He took out his phone, and saw 5 missed calls and 2 messages; all coming from Jungkook.

-Hyung, where are you? Why aren't you in class?-

-Hyung, you haven't been in class all day. Are you okay? Meet me at the basketball court for training at 3pm.-

Jimin sighed as he looked at his watch. It is about half an hour before 3. He wondered if he really had slept that much. He just shrugged, and brushed the leaves on his pants, before he slowly got up on his feet, stretched his body and then carefully walked to the changing room to change into his sports attire. This is going to be his first practice after all.

Smiling as he walked into court, he was greeted by Jungkook with worry looks and questions. He just let Jungkook talked, before the coach finally arrived. After some short briefing and introduction, they finally start to warm up, before they were going to be divided into two groups and they were going to have a match against each other.  Finishing the warm ups, they finally got into their groups, and apparently Jimin and Jungkook was put in the same group.

When they were about to start, suddenly someone came barging into the court. The said person was panting, and ran straight to the coach, before the coach finally call for attention.

"This is Suga. He is the captain of the basketball club. So Suga, you'll be in Team A. Now we have the balance team member for each group. Let's begin the match." He beamed, pushing Yoongi into his group and took the spot in the middle. He threw the ball in his hand up, and the ball was quickly captured by Yoongi, who passed it to his teammates.

The game was getting intense as Suga managed to score two consecutive score as another team scored none. Finally, the ball was passed to Jimin. Determined, he jumped as he shoot the ball, which went right into net as he slowly fell down and landed on his feet, right before a searing pain coursed through his left feet, making him stumbled sideways.

Jimin quickly held his feet, trying to ease the stabbing pain. The coach and his teammates came running to his aid, before Jungkook kneeled down and helped Jimin to sit. Yoongi quickly came and kneeled down beside Jungkook, despite the sharp glance that both Jimin and Jungkook gave him. He quickly took Jimin's feet into his hand, but Jimin pulled it back. Yoongi just took Jimin's feet again, this time a little bit rougher. He inspected Jimin's feet, before he noticed the red stain that kept getting larger on Jimin's shoes. He frowned when he felt Jimin tried to pull his feet again.

"Stop it. You're bleeding. This is a serious injury." Yoongi snapped, before he took Jimin's shoes off, revealing a red-stained socks, with a large piece of glass stuck halfway inside Jimin's sole. Yoongi then carefully pulled the glass out, earning a few hiss from Jimin. Jungkook looked like he was ready to punch Yoongi in the face.

"I'll bring him to the infirmary." Yoongi said, before Jungkook shook his head.

"I'll bring him." Jungkook said, but Yoongi took Jimin's hand and slumped it on his shoulder. He then pick Jimin and carry him bridal style, looking at Jungkook.

"You guys continue and play. I'll send him. Beside, your team can't afford to lose another one if they want to win against mine." Yoongi smirked to Jungkook, before nodding to the coach and walked away with Jimin in his hold.
