"RACISM IS HERE AND WILL ALWAYS EXIST, BUT WE CAN'T USE IT AS A CRUTCH."
- Charles Barkley

MI-YOUNG PARK WAS TIRED OF WAITING.

For the past few weeks of school, she had to wait around after school for her brother and evidently his best friend.

Surely she still hated the boy who always picked on her and her "inability to see."

But he was her brother's best friend.

So, she put up with all his side comments even though each time that twat opened his mouth she was ready to slap him in the face.

With a chair.

Goddamnit Jimin how long are you going to make me wait, again?

Kicking at the pebbles on the ground, she accidentally flicked a pebble at a pair of feet nearby.

Then she saw him.

She saw the same boy she always saw.

The boy who always walked just a few meters behind when she would walk home with her brother and that twat.

What's he doing always creeping around?

She smiled apologetically and avoided eye contact.

He seems suspicious.

"Hi Mi-young! How've you been?"

Mi-young's eyes widened.

Shit he knows my name? Stranger danger, stranger danger. Do not engage, I repeat, do not engage.

"Mi-young? Hello?"

"Uh- how do you know my name?"

Jungkook's smile faltered and his bright eyes drooped noticeably.

"We met on the first day of school. Don't you remember me?"

Oh shit.

"Oh! Oh yeah! Sorry I always forget names!"

She awkwardly swayed side to side as she mentally face palmed at her forgetfulness.

You always find a way to screw up, don't you Mi-young?

"Ah, it's ok! I would forget about me too, it's been a while since we've seen each other, huh?"

Well, if you don't count the times I always see you following me home, then yes.

Saving Mi-young from the awkward conversation, the front doors of school opened and out came Jimin and the twat.

~•~

Ruining Jungkook's chances of talking to his crush, the front doors of school opened and out came an Asian boy, who Jungkook still didn't know, and the devil himself.

"Aye! No eyes, you still waiting for us? How cute."

No eyes? I ought to smack that little smirk of that punk's—

"Oh? Jeon Juancock? Is that you? It's been a while since we've seen each other, huh?"

Pfft. It hasn't been long enough.

Jungkook rolled his eyes and looked away.

Mi-young raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Oh you two know each other?"

Jungkook was about to respond until he was cut off.

"Oh yeah! We go way way back, right Juancock? Don't you remember all the great memories we had? Man, I miss you, bud."

With his infamous smirk plastered on his face, he intently watched Jungkook shift uncomfortably in his spot.

"Um. Yeah."

What's this twat trying to insinuate?

Jungkook's ears perked up when he heard the voice of an angel.

"Can we get going? I've been under the sun for too long. I'm trying not to get tan."

Jungkook couldn't help but sweetly smile at Mi-young.

A touch of shyness and unexpected warmth rushed through him and made his heart swell.

She doesn't want to get tan? How cute!

"Don't want to get tan? But you need one, pasty!"

Pasty?! Did he just—

Mi-young, although not surprised at such a rude comment, glared at the boy.

"I take pride in my fair skin, thank you very much."

The boy scoffed and Jimin shifted uncomfortably.

"Alright, let's go Mimi."

Mimi? Did that devil just call her Mimi? Don't tell me that twat is dating her?

Jungkook could feel his heart ache at the thought of his crush being taken, especially by the boy Jungkook despised the most.

His heartache felt like a wolf was eating at his chest. His heart felt devoured, eaten whole, with nothing left behind.

Jungkook was too lost in his thoughts to realize that the triplet left.

And Jungkook was left behind with the devilish boy taking away the girl of his dreams.

Why am I always left behind? Why do you always take the ones I want?

You always have to take what I want, don't you?

Well I'm not giving up this time. No, you're not going to win.

Not this time, Kim Taehyung.
