Taehyung Pov

On Monday, I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, staring at my blue wrists and sighing softly. After the not so tingling meeting with Jeongguk, which were always in the afternoon, there was deadly silence between me and him. He used to write me messages, telling me what I still had to do.

But nothing came. He totally ignores me. I couldn't blame him, I must have hit a weak spot and insulted him for his behaviour. What if he really wanted some friends, but wasn't able to find ones? I had treated Jeon Jeongguk wrong and felt bad about it.

Another sigh left my throat before I pushed down the sleeves of my white sweater so my parents wouldn't see the bruises. Jeongguk had a really strong grip. No wonder why he easily beat up the 4 students at the beginning of the year. He was just... unbeatable.

A look at my watch told me that I would have to leave the house in about 5 minutes to get to school on time. So I quickly brushed my teeth and then pushed my hair back with my hand, slowly leaving the small bathroom.

I briefly went into my room to grab my backpack and my mobile phone, then I walked into the kitchen to take an apple for my way and give my parents a kiss. I always did that before I left the house.

"See you latee, Eomma and Appa", I forced myself to a little smile and pressed a hasty kiss on each of them's foreheads. Fortunately, my parents didn't notice my bad mood, so I left our apartment without being questioned and walked down the stairs.

I picked up my cell phone and typed on the chat with Jeongguk when I unlocked it. Throughout the weekend, I had been wondering if I should apologize to him with a written message. But Jeongguk didn't just ignore me for no reason. I had screwed up.

So what if he didn't want to see me or hear something from me? A message could aggravate the tension between the two of us, so I didn't dare doing this. Maybe Jeongguk would contact me again if he had calmed down agaim and forgiven me. I hoped for that...

I took my headphones out of the sweater pocket and decided to listen to some music on the way. Hopefully that would distract me a bit and bring me to other thoughts. Just as the chorus of the song began, my cell phone was vibrating, so I immediately pulled it out of my pocket. What if it was Jeongguk?!

To my disappointment it wasn't Jeongguk, but just Jaebum. A boy, from my parallel class, with whom I shared some courses and who often asked me for homework because he was too lazy to do it himself. For him - women, parties, alcohol and sex were more important than school and his final grades.

Jaebum
Kim, I need the homework for our biology class

Jaebum
I don't give a shit. I just don't want to repeat this fucking school year, Kim

Jaebum
So fucking send it to me, Kim!

Taehyung
Jaebum, it just doesn't work...

Taehyung
I'm really sorry...

Taehyung
But no

Jaebum
You'll regret this, Kim!

Jaebum
Even if you're a weak guy, I'll beat you up hospital-ready!

Jaebum
I want the text until tomorrow, or you can look at the hospital equipment
