I was just about dragged down to the lunchroom. Taehyung held onto my arm and walked me down the stairs. I guess it is helpful of him to guide me down to the cafeteria, but he held my wrist tightly as if he thought I was planning to run away.

We walked past a crowd of people, all eyeing me down with judgmental stares. I paid little attention to them as well as Taehyung who was telling me something about his popularity. I tuned it out because I really just can't bring myself to care who he is.

We stopped at a table full of guys who look just as much like celebrities as Taehyung does. Typically, none of the schoolboys ever look this handsome. These guys look like they could be trainees, each one of them had such handsome features. I felt misplaced, honestly.

"Guy's this is Pork Chubmin. Chubmin, these are my friends" Taehyung introduced

He got my name wrong. It clearly was on purpose. I don't really understand why he would say something like that to me if he wants to be friends.

"I-It's actually Park Jimin. It's nice to meet you all" I introduced myself before bowing.

At this time Taehyung let my wrist go and went to sit between two guys. He leaned heavily onto one of them. My eyes fell onto the boy right in front of me then. He had his hand extended out for me to shake. The way he smiled was bright and friendly. His eyes lit up too.

"I'm Hoseok, that's Yoongi" He greeted.

The guys next to him clearly took offense to being spoken for.

"I can introduce myself. I'm Yoongi"

Yoongi had a gummy smile. I smiled back at him out of politeness, but I could tell instantly that it was only fake.

"Im Namjoon" another one of them greeted.

"I'm Kim Taehyung, I just realized I never mentioned it in class. Anyways, this is my boyfriend, Jin. I know he's handsome like an actor, you don't need to gawk at him."

While Taehyung spoke, my eyes fell onto the guy sitting farthest from where I stood. All the others had stopped eating just to greet me, but he continued on. Not that I expected him to be in awe by my presence, I just didnt think hed go completely unphased.

"Jungkook" He said, looking up for just a moment.

He didn't bother smile, not even a fake one like the others.

"So Chubmin, what brings you here?" Namjoon questioned.

I hope this doesn't stick. I never even thought of myself as fat until right now. Hopefully it's only because my outfit is unflattering. Then again, even the school uniform I'll get soon could never flatter me as much as it does these guys. They're unreal.

"Oh right!" And the truth this time, no hesitating" Taehyung clapped his hands together and leaned forward.

I'm confused by him. He's so protective, but also intrusive and pushy. Oddly enough though, I couldn't find myself to bluntly tell him no whenever he got in my space. Over all, it is friendly of him to invite me to sit with him and bring me to lunch with him. He didn't let the others tease me, and I guess it is better to endure it from him rather than everyone else.

"A-ah it's personal, really" I said.

I finally went to take my seat.

"What did I say? Come on, we're all your best friends now. Don't feel intimidated or like you need to keep your guard up around us. You'll learn about us, it's only fair that you spill everything about you."

I looked around the table to see that all the others nodded their heads to what Taehyung said. Although, Jungkook did continue to eat his food. He didn't seem to have much interest in me at all. That's kind of a relief, if I'm honest.

"My mom um- We moved because my dad was v-very abusive. I had to sell my clothes to afford the move." I told him.

I'm not sure why I let that spill. It weird to tell anyone- let alone a whole table full of people, and yet I just did.

"No wonder you're in sweats and a dingy shirt!" He laughed out.

I felt my chest tighten. Everyone at the table began to laugh except for Jungkook. He only stopped eating and got up to put away his tray.

"It was my choice to sell what I had. I didn't like being i-in that situation just as much as my mom didn't." I defended myself.

It really felt like he was making fun of me again.

"Oh, we're not looking down on it by the way. You could've just kept a better outfit" Jin shrugged.

I still sunk in my seat and looked down at my sweats. I know they're ugly and old.

"I just kept what couldn't sell." I shrugged sadly.

Taehyung was the only one to laugh this time. I glanced up at him. He leaned further onto the table. Both elbows propping him up as he rested his jaw on his palms.

"When's your birthday? Maybe I'll donate to your cause" He said.

I shook my head.

"Well? When is it?" He asked again.

I sighed out. Glancing over at Jungkook who just sat back down. He pulled out his phone and began playing a game on it. I looked back over at Taehyung, who was still waiting for me to say when.

"October 13th. I don't need that though" I told him.

I don't either. My mom has a good job. She has her own company even, money will just be a little hard for a short while.

"Of course you do. Look at you. You look homeless, Jimin. It's not attractive and you kind of smell like crap" Yoongi teased.

I knew my outfit was bad, but I definitely showered and my clothes are clean.

"I do? I showered? My clothes are clean, they're just old"

"You don't, that part was a joke. You smell kind of like- mm Moldy strawberries? It's not that disgusting yet" Taehyung said.

I felt my frown deepen as I looked back down at my lap.

"So do you do any sort of activities?" Hoseok asked.

I nodded my head. My expression instantly changing because of the change of topic.

"I do dance. I sing too, but mostly just dance" I said.

"Wow! That's incredible. You don't seem like you could at all. Do you need to take breaks in between songs? I never understood how overweight people could move for so long. Aren't your limbs just so heavy?" He asked.

I thought the topic changed for the better, but it turns out, all of these guys really are just rude.

"I'm sorry I- I need to go to the restroom" I said as I quickly stood.

I scooted out my chair and ran from them quickly. I left the cafeteria, but after that, I had no clue where to go. It's only my first day, I don't know where any of the bathrooms are. I still continued on aimlessly, before sitting down.

Bringing my knees up to my chest. I felt more and more overwhelmed with myself as I thought over the things they all said to me. Crying then came naturally. I couldn't hold myself back from doing it. I felt humiliated again. In just one day, I've felt this way twice.

"Yah" I heard Taehyung.

I heard his footsteps grow louder until he was standing right in front of me. Then I watched him lift up one leg and swing it down. He kicked my shin.

"why you crying? It's just friendly teasing. We mean none of it. This is just how friends interact at this school. We really just wanna make you comfortable. Plus, Were cool. You're already our friend, so don't ruin that." He said

"Y-You guys just keep taking things too far." I cried.

I wiped my eyes and shook my head. I looked up at him without raising my head all to much. Mostly staring up at him through my wet parted lashes.

He rolled his eyes at me. Scoffing hard enough to move his shoulders forward.

"No, you're just clearly more sensitive than the average person. Cheer up." He spat, following it up with another kick at me.

This time the kick left a stinging sensation.

"Come on, or else you'll miss your lunch. Don't want your stomach growling from missing your meal- or just a snack for you, right?"

I didn't bother say anything back or show that what he said hurt me. I only wiped my eyes one last time and held back anymore tears threatening to fall.
