Taehyung
A young boy sat on the bench, with his face to the sky
His right leg was placed on the bench he was sitting on, while the left, was on the floor
From the uniform he was putting on, you can already tell that he's a student
His white shirt, neatly tucked into those black trousers of his, made him look well-kept and neat
His black hair was cut round, leaving the middle with hair enough to cover one part of his face
The blue mesmerizing eyes of the boy, made him look so out of the world as he gazed up at the sun
He was like a model posing for either a photographer or an artist
The pose and all that made him look so breathtaking and innocent
He looked, to any passing, like someone who has no cares in the world
But that was far from the truth. Taehyung was lost in thoughts
Taehyung
*Currently, calculating how to get the required amount before the end of that day, and he was yet not successful in that*
The three jobs he shuffled through weren't enough to pay the debts. And he needed to add more
But the problem was his schoolwork
There was no way a person like him can get through school without studying. And he doesn't want to be a dropout
One thing Taehyung cherished was his education. He doesn't joke with it
Lin, his friend since childhood, smiled when he saw Taehyung sitting on the bench, waiting for him
Lin was a slender kid with brown, messy hair that doesn't seem to obey his order
And that caused him to always have his hand on his face, removing the stray hair that threatened to block his sight.
Dressed in the same uniform as Taehyung, Lin seemed different
Not only because of how worn his shirt was, but how indecent he was
He was the opposite of Taehyung who was every mother's wish, for a son
Lin, on the other hand, was the one parents warn their children of. No one wants to associate with him
Taehyung
You took your time, didn't you? *Stood from the bench and slung his backpack on his shoulders*
Lin
Mrs Clay asked me to get some things for her. I would have been back earlier had it not been for her *Grin*
Lin grinned in a way he thought was cute. But of truth, it was damn creepy. Anyone can see that. However, Taehyung was too much of a darling to tell him about that
Taehyung
And here comes your everyday excuses. Will there be a day when you won't have excuse after excuse? *Darkly frowned at him*
Lin might have been his only friend for years now, but there were days that he gets this urge to bash Lin's head into the sink.
Lin
I'm sorry, okay? I know I shouldn't have an excuse, but trust me when I say it wasn't my fault *Said in a not-so-apologetic way*
Taehyung
It's not always your fault. *Gave him a once-over, for the first time since he arrived*
Taehyung
What's with your clothes? Don't tell me you had a run-in with the tigers? *Raised a brow at him*
Lin
No *Nervously scratched his hair as he thought about his earliest clash with the tigers*
The tigers are the notorious blood gang of the school. Those boys were the merciless bullies the school ever had
And with the backing of the leopard mafia gang in the city, no one ever dared to question their actions
Taehyung
Don't lie to me, Lin.*Narrowed his eyes at his friend*
Taehyung
Tell me, what did they do this time?
Lin
Nothing much. *Shrugged as if it were no big deal*
Taehyung
No big deal? And you are looking this way?
Taehyung
I know you are rough and all that, but never to this extent
Lin
It's no big deal. Chill a bit, will you?" *Pouted*
Taehyung
Only when you tell me what happened between you and the Tigers
Taehyung
*Clenched his hands into fists as he tried to restrain his anger*
Taehyung
He hasn't been a well-behaved boy, who doesn't want to clash with others. But--💭
Lin
It's nothing *Nervously laughed* Let's go home. It's already getting late. Don't you have work tonight?
Taehyung decided not to pursue the matter It seemed his friend was eager to drop it. So, he did what he asked. He dropped the matter
Taehyung
Yeah, I just need to head home, to get ready
But Taehyung didn't feel like going home. It was the same thing every time. There was no change in it at all
Lin
You can come over to mine, then. Mother isn't around, so you are free to stay there for the night *Grinned*
Taehyung
Really? *Face brightened at his friend's words*
He seemed as if he were at the top of his world right now
Lin, who already knew that his friend hates going home, was eager to offer him a place.
Even if it was for the night. It makes a difference. At least, it will minimize the amount of time Taehyung will spend with his mother.
Taehyung
Let's go then *smiled, having already forgotten about the Tigers. And that made Lin exhale in relief*
He doesn't want his friend to be in any trouble of any sort.
Taehyung prided himself on his clean record, and Lin was not eager to cause a stain on the white robe
Taehyung
No. But she brought several others. Had to hit one when he drunkenly entered my room thinking he was going to get a free lay
Taehyung
*Clenched his hands into fists as he thought back to the night before*
Tired from the overtime he worked at the bar, he was ready to crash and get some sleep. But that stupid mother f*cker had to interrupt his rest
So, he showed him a good time. With his fists, of course His mother got angry with him, but he didn't feel it.
At least the fool learned his lessons.
