Kim Taehyung's first day at Jeon High was nerve-wracking, yet he hid his nerves behind a wall of sassy remarks and an unfazed attitude. With his thick glasses and slightly rounded physique, he clutched his books tightly to his chest, navigating the crowded halls with a mixture of determination and indifference. Whispers followed him, and he could feel the weight of curious and judgmental eyes on him. Taehyung kept his gaze low, hoping to make it to his classroom without any incidents.
As he rounded a corner, he nearly collided with a group of students. Apologizing quickly, he stepped back, cheeks burning with embarrassment. Among the group was Jeon Jungkook, the popular boy with a charming personality. Tall, athletic, and effortlessly charismatic, Jungkook was everything Taehyung wasn't. But there was something about him that made Taehyung's stomach churn.
Jungkook
Watch where you're going, fatty
Jungkook sneered, his eyes narrowing.
Taehyung raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips despite his racing heart.
Taehyung
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there, prince charming. Must be all that hot air around you.
Jungkook's friends snickered, but Jungkook's gaze darkened. He wasn't used to being talked back to, especially not by someone like Taehyung.
Jungkook
What did you just say?
Jungkook's gaze lingered on Taehyung for a moment longer than necessary, a strange look flickering in his eyes. Taehyung couldn't decipher whether it was curiosity, amusement, or something else entirely. Before he could ponder it further, Jungkook turned away, leading his friends down the hall with a laugh.
Shaking off the unsettling feeling, Taehyung hurried to his first class, hoping to blend into the background. However, as the day progressed, he couldn't shake the feeling that Jungkook's eyes were always on him.
During lunch, he found a quiet corner in the cafeteria, only to notice Jungkook sitting at the popular table, occasionally glancing in his direction.
Taehyung
Why does he keep looking at me?
Taehyung muttered to himself, pushing his food around his tray. He felt a strange mix of anxiety and curiosity.
There had to be a reason why the most popular boy in school was paying attention to him, but Taehyung couldn't fathom what it might be.
A voice called out, snapping Taehyung from his thoughts. It was one of Jungkook's friends, a tall boy with a smug grin.
suga
Heard you mouthed off to Jungkook this morning. Got some guts, huh?
Taehyung looked up, meeting the boy's gaze with a deadpan expression.
Taehyung
Yeah, well, someone's gotta keep you guys entertained. I charge by the hour, by the way.
The boy's grin faltered, and Taehyung couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He might be out of place here, but he wasn't going to let anyone intimidate him.
As the final bell rang and students poured out of the building, Taehyung made his way to his locker. He fumbled with the combination, his mind racing with questions.
Just as he opened the locker, a shadow fell over him. He turned around to find Jungkook standing there, a peculiar smile playing on his lips.
Jungkook
You're Taehyung, right?
Jungkook asked, his voice smooth and confident.
Taehyung nodded, swallowing hard.
Jungkook's smile widened, but his eyes held an intensity that made Taehyung's skin prickle
Jungkook
Welcome to Jeon High
He said, his tone oddly layered with both friendliness and something more.
Jungkook
I'll be seeing you around.
Taehyung replied, forcing a smile.
Taehyung
Can't wait for our next delightful interaction
With that, Jungkook walked away, leaving Taehyung standing there, heart pounding and mind racing. What did Jungkook want with him? And why did his presence leave Taehyung feeling both intrigued and uneasy?
Taehyung shut his locker, taking a deep breath. One thing was certain: his time at Jeon High was going to be far from ordinary.
bullying
Taehyung soon found out why Jungkook had been staring at him. The whispers around school confirmed his worst fears:
Jungkook was the school bully, and he had taken a particular dislike to Taehyung. It started with snide comments in the hallway, subtle enough to go unnoticed by teachers but sharp enough to sting.
Jungkook
Nice glasses, nerd,
Jungkook sneered as he walked past, his friends snickering behind him. Taehyung kept his head down, but his mouth couldn't help but respond.
Taehyung
Thanks, jerk. They help me see how ugly your personality is
Taehyung shot back, his heart racing. Jungkook's friends burst into laughter, and Jungkook's eyes narrowed dangerously.
The bullying escalated quickly. One day, Taehyung found his locker filled with trash. Old papers, empty soda cans, and banana peels tumbled out when he opened it, the stench overwhelming.
Jungkook and his friends stood nearby, laughing uproariously.
Jungkook
Oops, looks like someone mistook your locker for a trash can
Jungkook jeered, his eyes glinting with malice.
Taehyung
Must've thought it was your mouth
Taehyung retorted, his voice shaking. The laughter stopped abruptly, and Jungkook stepped closer, his face inches from Taehyung's.
Jungkook
What did you just say?
Jungkook's voice was low, dangerous.
Taehyung said, refusing to back down, even though his legs felt like jelly.
Taehyung
You talk so much trash, it's hard to tell the difference.
Jungkook's friends exchanged nervous glances, but Jungkook just smiled, a cold, unsettling smile.
Jungkook
You're going to regret that
Another time, during gym class, Jungkook "accidentally" threw a basketball at Taehyung's head, knocking his glasses off and leaving him dazed. As Taehyung scrambled to retrieve his glasses, the gym echoed with laughter.
Jungkook
Maybe you should sit out, wouldn't want you to break those precious glasses,
Jungkook mocked, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
Taehyung stood up, rubbing his sore head
Taehyung
Maybe you should aim better, wouldn't want you to look like a pathetic bully,
He snapped, his voice trembling. Jungkook's expression darkened, and he shoved Taehyung hard, making him stumble.
Lunchtime was no refuge either. Jungkook would trip Taehyung as he walked by, sending his tray of food crashing to the floor.
Jungkook would say with a smirk, while Taehyung knelt on the ground, cheeks burning with humiliation as he picked up the scattered food.
Taehyung
Wow, didn't know you were into floor dining,
Taehyung muttered loudly, trying to keep his voice steady.
Taehyung
Guess you have to practice somewhere
Taehyung
Jungkook's face twisted in anger, and he kicked the tray out of Taehyung's hands, sending food flying everywhere.
he growled, his eyes blazing with fury.
why me?
The bullying even followed Taehyung into the classroom. Jungkook would pass cruel notes or whisper insults just loud enough for Taehyung to hear but too low for the teacher to notice.
Jungkook
You're such a loser,
Jungkook would hiss during group projects, ensuring that Taehyung felt isolated and unwanted.
Taehyung
Better a loser than a psychopath
Taehyung would whisper back, his voice barely audible but filled with defiance. Jungkook's hand would clench into a fist, but he would keep his anger in check, for the moment.
Taehyung's heart sank deeper with each passing day. No matter how hard he tried to avoid Jungkook, the bullying was relentless. Taehyung couldn't understand why Jungkook hated him so much.
Maybe it was because he was different, with his thick glasses and awkward posture, while Jungkook was effortlessly handsome and confident. Or perhaps it was because Taehyung came from a humble background, while Jungkook belonged to a wealthy royal family.
One particularly bad day, as Taehyung hurried to his next class, he found himself cornered by Jungkook and his friends.
Jungkook
What's the rush, four-eyes?
Jungkook sneered, shoving Taehyung against the lockers. Laughter echoed from the surrounding students, making Taehyung's face burn with shame.
Taehyung kept his head down, muttering an apology, but Jungkook wasn't done.
Jungkook
You think you can just walk around here like you belong? You're nothing but a loser.
Taehyung's fists clenched at his sides, frustration and confusion boiling inside him. He didn't understand why Jungkook singled him out, why he seemed to take pleasure in making his life miserable. All Taehyung wanted was to stay out of Jungkook's way, but it seemed impossible.
Jungkook
Got nothing to say now, huh?
Jungkook taunted, his voice dripping with contempt.
Jungkook
Where's that smart mouth of yours?
Taehyung looked up, his eyes blazing with defiance.
Taehyung
Right here, jerk. Got a problem with it?
Jungkook's smile faded, replaced by a cold, calculating look. Without warning, he grabbed Taehyung by the collar and slammed him against the lockers.
Jungkook
You're really testing my patience
He hissed, his face inches from Taehyung's
Jungkook
Maybe I should teach you a lesson
Taehyung's heart pounded in his chest, but he refused to back down.
Taehyung
Go ahead, make my day
Taehyung
Show everyone what a big, tough guy you are, picking on someone smaller than you.
Jungkook's eyes flashed with anger, and he raised his fist, ready to strike. But just as he was about to hit Taehyung, a teacher rounded the corner, and Jungkook quickly let go, his expression turning innocent.
Is everything alright here?" the teacher asked, looking between the two boys suspiciously.
Jungkook
Just helping the new kid find his way,
Jungkook said smoothly, his voice dripping with false sweetness.
Taehyung glared at Jungkook, but he knew better than to contradict him in front of the teacher
As the days turned into weeks, Taehyung tried to keep a low profile, but Jungkook's bullying continued. Each encounter left Taehyung feeling more defeated and isolated. He couldn't help but wonder what he had done to deserve such treatment.
Then, one afternoon, as Taehyung sat alone in the library, Jungkook's friend approached him.
suga
There's something you should know about Jungkook. It's not what you think.
Taehyung looked up, curiosity piqued.
Taehyung
What do you mean?
With that cryptic advice, the boy walked away, leaving Taehyung with more questions than answers. Why would Jungkook's friend suggest talking to him? And what was he supposed to find out?
As Taehyung packed up his things and headed home, his mind raced with possibilities. What could Jungkook possibly be hiding? And how was Taehyung supposed to uncover the truth?
One thing was certain: the mystery surrounding Jungkook had only deepened, and Taehyung was determined to find out why the school's biggest bully had taken such an interest in him.
