Author's P.O.V

As Taehyung took his seat, he sat there, staring blankly as he thought of what had happened just a while ago.

"I.. can't promise you that.. not when I see the people that I care about get hurt almost all the time, i'm sorry.."

He sighed, shaking his head as Jimin and Jungkook soon arrived, sitting on their own seats.

Jimin stayed silent while Jungkook kept looking at Taehyung sadly, tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

"You know you can't make me promise.." Taehyung mumbled under his breath, yet Jungkook still heard, despite the noise emitting from everyone else's mouths.

"I know... but don't you-"

Taehyung grit his teeth tightly as he clenched his hands.

"No, Jungkook." He said simply, making Jungkook stop as he looked down at his desk, sighing in defeat.

"I wish you could understand, Taehyung.." Jungkook murmured.

Taehyung's gaze turned to Jungkook, his piercing stare made Jungkook feel chills up his spine, even though he wasn't looking at the latter.

"That's the point, and I don't even want to understand your logic. If I were to tell, then what could they do to me?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"They can do many things-"

"They can't, knowing they'll be expelled from this school, once I report them."

Jungkook shook as he soon glared up at Taehyung, eyes flashing red for a split second, catching both Taehyung, and Jimin who is watching the both of them, off guard.

"Stop being so heroic, damn it!" Jungkook yelled as he stood up, slamming his hands on his desk, catching everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at Jungkook surprised. Taehyung looked at Jungkook's eyes, and all he saw was anger and frustration.

No, everyone wasn't surprised because of Jungkook's sudden outburst.

They're surprised, because this was the first time, they saw Jungkook THIS angry.

They always see Jungkook happy and bubbly, they even thought he was innocent, because of his sweet aura. Although they saw Jungkook emotionless, they're image of him being the sweet and loving boy never changed.

Yes, they witnessed Jungkook angry before, but never like this.

"Why don't you even want to understand?! I'm only doing this to not get you involved!"

Taehyung, looked up at Jungkook with wide eyes, his own anger soon rose as he stood up as well.

"So you just want to hide away and let them keep on doing this?! What the hell is wrong with you, Jeon Jungkook?!"

"Oh, so something is wrong with me?" Jungkook soon asked, smiling bitterly.

"Yes!" Taehyung said, without thinking of what he should of answered.

Jungkook laughed as he looked at Taehyung in disbelief.

"I can't believe you... I let you in, I let you help me, I even trusted you, and this is what I get in return?"

Taehyung stopped and stared at Jungkook, speechless.

"I-"

"I don't want to hear it." Jungkook said, taking his bag as he stormed out of the room, not minding that tears began to blur his vision as he made his way out.

Everyone, watched the scene, eyes filled with sorrow.

Taehyung pulled on his hair tightly as he glanced at the door that Jungkook just exited from.

'Why can't you just let me do this for you..?'

Taehyung quickly took his bag and ran out of the room.

Jimin's P.O.V

"H-hey! Taehyung!" I called out as I stood up, also taking my bag as I ran out to follow Taehyung.

"You can't keep on cowering in fear."

"I know I can't. But there are times, that, if you want to avoid trouble, you just have to back down and bow your head in defeat."

"That's it? Don't tell me you're backing down without a fight!"

"That's what i'm trying to imply."

"You're such a coward."

He coldly said as he turned his back on me.

"What else can I be than that? I can't even stand up for myself.. so don't expect me to just go out there and fight for myself."

I said as my voice broke, he sighed and turned his head to me.

"That's why you have to do that.. after all, I won't always be by your side."

I started breathing heavily as I closely ran after Taehyung, only to stop when he pushed a boy away from Jungkook, who was already laying on the ground, unconscious.

I gasped as I quickly went to Jungkook, trying to shake him awake.

"Hey, hey!" I called, but nothing.

I turned to Taehyung, only to watch him in horror as he kicked the boy repeatedly.

I looked closely to see it was one of Mark's friends. I shook my head as I checked Jungkook's pulse.

I gulped as I felt his pulse was slow. I turned back to Taehyung quickly as I called him.

"Taehyung! Stop! We need to get Jungkook to the hospital, now!"

Once I spoke, he stopped and turned to me with wide eyes.

He ran towards us and checked on Jungkook too.

"Damn it, where the hell are the teachers to patrol the hallways?!" He cursed, as he picked Jungkook up bridal style.

We once again ran as we exited the school, finding a quick way to get to the hospital.

Taehyung's P.O.V

I paced back and forth as we waited for the doctor to come out.

"This is all my fault- if only I thought of how my words would affect him, this wouldn't have happened-"

"Taehyung!" Jimin called, snapping me out of my worried state, as he shook me vigorously.

"Snap out of it. It's not your fault. Now get yourself together and let's just hope... that he's ok.. he needs us, he needs you."

I stared at him for a moment, soon sighing as I sat down, with Jimin trying to assure me that Jungkook is going to be okay.

'Then show me that he is actually fine.'
