10. The walls around me
|Taehyung's perspective|
"How are you with our bet? Did you manage to do anything about the rabbit?" Yoongi asks me and I roll my eyes.
"I think he's starting to have a little confidence in me." I say and then grin.
"You still have that stupid bet in your mind? Really?" Hoseok intervenes, and I just look at him bored.
"You know how to ruin the fun every time." Yoongi says and I laugh a little.
"Shut up, you two! Look at him there!" I say and point to Jungkook and his friends.
I walk towards them, and my friends are only a few steps away. Then I wave to Jungkook, and notice the strange way Jimin looks at me.
"Good morning!" I tell them and then smile, but when I come across Jimin's bored face, I know that this time the acting doesn't work out.
"What do you want, Kim?" Jimin asks me in a plate tone, and I manage not to laugh at his stupid face.
He thinks he's tough, but he can't bring down even a child.
"Nothing special. I just wanted to see what you were doing." I lie and then I notice Jungkook's faint smile.
"We finished classes today. We was walking to the restaurant next to the university." Jungkook says, and I smile immediately.
"What a coincidence! We was about to going there too!" I lie again and then I hear Yoongi laughing softly.
"Seriously?" Hoseok asks, and I look at him subtly.
"Yeah, you already forgot?" I ask him and he rolls his eyes.
"Well, you can go on with your business, and we can go on with ours. Come on." the idiot Jin intervenes, then motions for the boys in front of me to leave.
"We can go together. My friends and I have cars." I say and Jimin starts laughing.
"And we have as well. Look Taehyung, I have no idea what the hell you have in your stupid head, but I know there can be nothing good. I'm warning you, from now on, leave Jungkook alone." he replies, and then he pulls Jungkook in front of me, all of them heading for the university exit.
Yoongi starts laughing and Hoseok smiles in turn. Really?
"Jimin really has an interesting attitude." I hear Yoongi and look at him later.
"But he's right. He's just worried about Jungkook. The whole institution knows very well how you are, Taehyung. You can't expect Jimin or Jungkook's friends to watch how you make fun of the younger and they won't do anything." Hoseok tells and I sigh.
Sometimes I want to punch him so damn bad.
"Let's go. I have math this hour and if I skip again, I can't pass the course." I mumble and I point my legs towards my class.
"Wait, aren't we going to the restaurant? I really wanted to eat something!" I hear Yoongi from behind me, but I have no intention of answering him.
I have to somehow earn Jimin's trust. This way everything will be simpler.

|Jungkook's perspectiv|
"Are you feeling alright?" I hear Taehyung's voice behind me, and I look back at him.
"Yeah, why?" I ask in my turn, then take a deep breath.
"You stare at that wall for about ten minutes." he replies then laughs a little, and I just get up from my chair.
Yes, it often happens that I lose track of time and stare blankly. It's not like I'm thinking of something, it just feels like I disappear for a few seconds. And it feels good. Really damn good.
"I have no idea what I was thinking." I say and then I open the fridge, taking after a bottle of cold water.
"You know, I think we can go out this weekend. As an outing between friends, what do you say?" I hear him and try not to drown.
Why would he want us to hang out? What's on his mind?
"I... Sure?" I ask in return, and I close my eyes, because of my stupidity.
"Cool. I hope you like amusement parks. I know one not far from here." he says, and I can already feel a smile on my face.
"I've never been to an amusement park before! I will definitely like it!" I say enthusiastically, but when I see Taehyung's closely look, I can say that I should have kept my mouth shut.
"Haven't you been to an amusement park before?" he asks me and I bite my lower lip.
It's a stupid habit I make when I'm agitated.
"It's not like I didn't want to, but ... I just couldn't." I reply in a low voice, and my roommate approach me.
He looks at me and tries to find answers on my face. I move my gaze to the floor, trying not to do everything even more weird.
"But why? Did your parents never take you?" he asks me again, and when I hear that word, I feel my heart break slowly.
Parents. I do not have something like this. For me, mom and dad are just two people who only have the name, not the quality of a parent. I would not want any other child to have parents like them.
"It's none of your business." I answer more rudely than I have liked, and then I walk past him, advancing toward my room.
I can feel his gaze, but I'm not looking back. I know very well that if I will do this, I will not be able to hide anymore. I don't want Taehyung or anyone else to destroy the wall I built around me. I don't want anyone to find out my secrets or bring my memories back to the surface.
Sometimes life gives you both pleasure and misfortune. But in my case, the only pleasure I have, is when I close my eyes, hoping that the next day I can't open them.
Yeah, I really don't see the point of a new day, when my life is a continuous night.
