[Seoul, Korea]

A new day again!!" Taehyung mutters in annoyance turning his alarm off. As always his mom was off to her duty and he had to prepare the breakfast himself. He took a slice of bread with cheese and veggies, making a sandwich, and had it. He made sure everything was ready as he locked the door and headed out.

School was the place where hell existed for him. Nobody liked him or made friends with him as they were afraid of getting beaten. Not by Taehyung but by his bully. He was bullied by that guy since he joined this school. It was not that Taehyung was not strong enough to face him but there was always something inside him that kept him to stay quiet and bear him. Suddenly, he gets a pat on his shoulder as he turns back. "Jungkook?"

"No need to act surprise, give the notes" He growled.

Taehyung handed the notes with shaky hands, as always he had to complete Jungkook's assignment or else he would get beaten up or locked in some stinky, dark storeroom. But to his surprise, he didn't get any hit this time. Taehyung sighed with relief and rested his bag. It was almost time for the class so, he decided not to waste his time and hurry up.

[In the Classroom]

The teacher was lecturing as always making everyone yawn. Taehyung seemed to be the most bored and irritated one. As he was trying his best to focus, he receives a paper from somewhere. It was blank. All of a sudden, papers began to rain towards him! He turned his head, Jungkook again! He was trying his best to defend himself when one of the paper hits his desk and bumps into the teacher.

"Taehyung! get out of the class." Teacher thunders.

"A-Actually Jung-"

"Out now!" she yells.

He quietly left with teary eyes and somehow managed not to cry. He stayed there for the whole period and finally the bell rang.

"You dumb, were you trying to mention my name to the teacher!!" Jungkook roared making Taehyung flinch.

"No, I was not-"

"We clearly heard him trying to tell your name, kook" one of his friends spoke from the back.

"Don't interfere in between us, Yoongi. I too heard him so, shut your mouth" his voice rose as he grabbed Taehyung's arm and pushed him to the ground. Taehyung groaned and crossed his arms for protection. Jungkook began kicking him while taehyung lay on the ground.

"Don't harass this stupid more or else he'll get serious harm, kook" the other friend pulled Jungkook.

"Leave me, Hoseok!" He tried to escape from his arms but failed.

"See there is no point of bothering him unless he does something really bad. And if you don't want to get kicked out of this school, stop this!" Hoseok calmed Jungkook.

"Don't be too happy, only if it wasn't Hobi's kindness you would've suffered the worst" Jungkook eyed him and then left with his hyungs.

Taehyung couldn't bear pain in his shoulders. He managed to get up and go to the nurse.

~TIME SKIP TO END OF SCHOOL~

Taehyung was collecting his stuff as he felt a punch on his hurt shoulder.

"Ah.." he cried and turned.

"Take this " Jungkook throws his notebook at his face and leaves without another word.

"Huh..why me? he picks the note and puts it in his bag. He hates himself that he couldn't win any argument with Jungkook. And he never understands why he never speaks against him.

[Back home]

Mom is still not home. Taehyung grabs some snacks and settles himself for homework. After some hours of studying, he finally completes his as well as Jungkook's assignment. He rests for a while and then forces himself to the kitchen as he had to make dinner for him as well as for mom. He misses his mother's old type and is still not comfortable with her new type.

Not even before two months, everything was normal and smooth until one day his father had to face sudden death. His dad was the only person in this whole world whom he loved the most, more than his mom. But now his mom is the only one working for the family. She has double pressure in her head. She goes office early and returns homes after her son is already in bed. She tries her best but couldn't give her time to her son as she was still young to be a single parent.

Taehyung had his dinner, cleaned the dishes, and saved separately for this mom. He decided to go to bed early as he was too tired after all the mess. And slept right after he jumped to bed.
