Swinging his pale legs back and forth on the cool, cobblestone bridge, Yoongi sipped on his cold, strawberry yogurt drink. His small body leaning forwards into the dark mahogany railing supported by the cobblestone bridge he had been sitting on. He felt a forceful slap on the back of his head, causing him to drop his yogurt drink into the flowing river.

"H-Hey!" The black haired boy turned to see his grinning friend, Jackson Wang. "You, dipshit, I was drinking that, you owe me another!"

"Yeah, whatever, come on, let's go look for stuff in the forest, I heard that Eric Nam almost died in the forest the other day!"

"Where'd you hear that bullshit from?"

The two turned their heads to see none other than Eric Nam.

"Hey, piss boy, Amber told us you totally chickened out the other day!" Jackson clapped the boy on the back.

"She's always exaggerating!"

Yoongi hopped up onto the wooden railing, sitting on the thin, yet sturdy wood, watching his two friends bicker about random things he could care less about. He rolled his eyes. "Can we just go to YesMart already? I'm hungry because this jackass ruined my snack time!"

"Shut up, it was yogurt!"

"You're yogurt!"

Yoongi was shoved off the railing.

"AH YOONGI!"

The boys arrived at YesMart, Yoongi soaked with water with an annoyed scowl on his face. Jackson just as soaked and Eric trying to steer clear of the two gross things that he called friends.

"Eomma! Yoongi and Jackson are here!"

The three walked up to the counter to see Eric's mom who was closing up the cash register. "Did you guys jump in the river again? Yoongi, your mom's going to be pissed."

"I know," The shortest sighed heavily. "It's okay though, I always make it up to her with tea."

"Shoo, shoo, you guys are scaring away my customers, pick two and go upstairs- Jackson take your shoes off!"

The trio made their way upstairs with more than two snacks but it's fine, they'd pay Mrs. Nam back... eventually. Eric climbed up the ladder along with the other two to his room. It was a nice cozy attic with a big window. Once the boys managed to string lights along the raptures during a sleepover. They'd make blanket forts and space ships out of used boxes and crates, it was their own little hang out where no one else could go... well, except Mrs. Nam and occasionally Amber when she wanted food and video games.

Yoongi clicked his pencil until the skinny piece of graphite was pushed back into the pencil by the wooden desk. His first year of middle school went pretty well, he's so close to seventh grade.

"So sorry for the interruption, Mr. Lee," All the young students' heads turned to the teacher and the principal. It was rare for the principal to show up during class. "the new student has arrived."

"Ah, thank you, Mr. Jeong." Mr. Lee turned to face the class full of intrigued twelve year olds. A small, lanky boy stepped out from behind the principal, brown, scruffy hair almost covering his chocolate brown eyes that scanned the classroom. His slightly tanned, sunkissed skin complimenting his choice of an oversized light yellow shirt and oversized white dress shirt that had been unbuttoned. His black distressed jeans giving him an even more boyish look matched with his black backpack.

The boy pulled out a red notebook and flipped to the first page, holding it up to the class.

'hello, my name is kim taehyung.'

Murmurs were cut off as the boy flipped another page.

'please use this notebook to talk to me.'

Yoongi scoffed silently as his pencil graphite snapped out of impact of his pale desk.

Flip.

'i can't hear.'
