Kim Taehyung

I never have expected to sit in this room, but now I actually did. Inside of the office of Donwoon Hyunsuk, the director of our school. He was sitting in his large, dark brown leather armchair with his arms crossed in front of his toned, muscular chest.

His facial expression was blameful and angry, he especially stared at Jeongguk and Jaebum with displeasure. They obviously didn't sit here for the first time. "Now, does somebody wants to explain me what happened in the cafeteria?", he asked, bobbing his right foot up and down quickly.

Nobody said anything. Not even me. My hands lay crossed on my lap and my eyes stared at my grey sneakers. "You already know what happened...", Jaebum grumbled angrily, wiping the blood on his lower bottom lip away with his hand. He looked terrible. After Jeongguk had grabbed him by the collar, Jaebum hast lost his self-control.

At the end, the two got into a fight that turned out to be anything but good for both of them.

Jeongguk had sore knuckles, a burst lip, a scratched cheek and nose from which some blood came out. I felt that he was still angry and that he would like to punch Jaebum in his face again. He had a great pride and didn't tolerate anything like that at all.

Especially if someone stood above him or wanted to get Jeongguk down.

"Of course I do, but I would like to ask you why it happened at all", the director got up from his chair, walked around the table until he stood in front us, before leaning against his dark brown desk. Jaebum and Jeongguk stayed silent. As if the director had expected this, his gaze slid towards me, making me even more nervous.

If you made our director mad, you got kicked out of school faster than you wished. He was actually a very nice, understanding man, but if you broke the rules - he couldn't stand especially fights and brawls- he was no longer friendly towards you. In the worst case, he will never accept you again an this school, throwing you out forever.

Inside, I hoped that this wouldn't happen.

"Mr. Kim, would you please tell us what happened? I want to understand why this unnecessary fight happened", the man in front of us asked and placed his hands on his oak desk. To be honest, I didn't want to tell him anything, although Jaebum should get his punishment.

He had tyrannized me for too long, but if I said that Jeongguk was the first to punch Jaebum in the face, it wouldn't end nice for him either. So I also remained silent and said nothing that made the director sigh.

"If no one tells me anything about what happened, I'm forced to release you all from school for the rest of the week. You still have the chance to explain what happened, or I will initiate consequences. After all, Mr. Jeon, this is not the first time we have had such a conversation. And Mr. Im, you can be glad that I haven't already suspended you",  Mr. Donwoo said with his warm voice and took a deep breath.

Now, I really thought about telling Mr. Donwoo.

After all, this week on Thursday was my first exam and I didn't really want to miss it. The rewriting exams were the hardest and the worst, to be honest. Therefore, I had appeared to all examinations, even if I was sick or something.

My parents would certainly be disappointed if they hear about my stupid suspension. I played nervously with my fingers until I finally confessed what actually happened.

"I will explain everything..."

✧*:.｡.

Jeongguk band I left Mr. Donwoo's office, while holding hands, and Jaebum was still in there, having to listen to a long talk about good manners at school by our director. Luckily, Jeongguk got away with a black eye as he had only beaten Jaebum to defend me.

But if he got involved in another fight, he would be suspended for an entire month. "I'm so glad you didn't get a huge punishment", I whispered and reinforced the grip around Jeongguk's rough, big hand. He stopped, turned around and took a step closer to me, but I only looked at the grey floor.

My lower lip trembled a little and I felt a few tears coming us as I remembered, how Jaebum had his clenched his hand into a fist, punching Jeongguk in his stomach and making him moaning in pain. He shouldn't hurt himself. Not if he protected me, a weak and poor boy. But before I could prevent it, the first tear rolled down my cheek and fell to the floor.

"You... You're such an idiot", I sobbed loudly and hit his chest lightly with my little hand, while Jeongguk, without saying a word, allowed this to happen, "Why do you do such dangerous things? I was afraid for you! I was afraid that Jaebum would do something bad to you, break your bones or damage you afterwards! Why did you interfere?"

I cried loudly and digged my nails in Jeongguk's black shirt, hiding my face in it and my body trembled as I was crying louder and louder. Carefully, he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly, while tears continued to run down my cheeks and his shit slowly got wet.

"I did it because I love you, Kim Taehyung"
