The Demon's Angel (Taekook)
The First Day (Home)
Taehyung lazily got out of bed, groaning at his aching body. He rubbed his eyes trying to clear his blurry vision.
Sighing deeply, this was the first day of the new school year. This is the year others could change, make new friends, become popular and etc.
But that wasn't the case for him, in no ones view would they give him a chance. Why would they anyways? He was the perfect target for bullying.
He was weak and the only way to get through high school was to be strong. Never in a lifetime would you see a nerd trying to pick a fight with a jocks. It was always the other way around.
High school was for trials and errors, for most people but not for a boy like Taehyung. He never got to experience that.
High grades and nothing less. No parties, no getting drunk and passing out on in a random building. Absolutely none of that, he wasn't trying to get this head cut off by the monsters he lived with.
The boy had no control over his life. That's just how it is for some people. They didn't get the chance to live.
Taehyung looked up on the ceiling clock. It was six minutes pass seven and school started at 7:45. He was going to be late.
Taehyung
No, no, no, I'm gonna be late on the first day?!
Taehyung
The bus comes in less than 30 minutes, what am I going to do?
Taehyung
This day couldn't get any worse
Taehyung jump off the bed only to fall on the ground because of his jelly legs.
He ran to the down stairs bathroom not forgetting his towel. He hurriedly did his morning routine, then taking a cold shower.
Yes, a cold shower. He did have a heater but that was only for his parents. He would have to pay money if he wanted to take a hot shower. He would only do that when it's winter.
Taehyung
Please don't let any one see me
He ran out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around his body. He didn't want anyone to see any part of his disgusting form.
He went back to his room to get dressed. Once he finished putting on his uniform, he went down stairs to eat his breakfast.
The normal bread and butter. That's all he could eat for no one cooked in the morning and he wasn't allowed to cook something unless it was for the whole family.
Taehyung
It's twenty two minutes after the hour. If I leave now I can make it to the bus stop in time.
Taehyung
But I need lunch money...
Um Hee-jeong
I am sorry sir that I couldn't get the papers to your desk in time but there was so much work to do. I-
Mrs. Um walked into the kitchen. She was on the phone with her boss and by the looks of it, it wasn't going great.
Um Hee-jeong
I have to work in the night too?! But tomorrow I also have the night shift.
Time was going and Taehyung needed his lunch money. The only way was to ask her but it was against the rules to interrupt her call.
He walked up to her with his head low. Immediately her angry gaze went to him.
Taehyung
May I get my lunch money, ma'am?
Um Hee-jeong
Excuse me a second, sir.
She placed down her phone on the counter. She harshly grabbed his jaw making the poor boy wince in pain.
Um Hee-jeong
Didn't I let you not to disturb me when I'm on the phone?
Um Hee-jeong
Then why did you?
The grip on his jaw tightening.
Taehyung
I-i wanted to ask for lunch m-money
Um Hee-jeong
Here, take it
She handed him over 5 dollars. He bowed, excusing himself from her.
He rushed out of the house, the bus would come any minute and so it did.
The bus was right behind Taehyung, speeding up the road. He waved his hand out trying to gain the bus driver's attention.
The bus speed pass his hand, nearing the side walk.
Taehyung
Is it going to stop?
The bus slowed down not coming to a complete stop. Was it testing Taehyung? He didn't care, he ran after it.
It soon stopped seeing he really needed it. He hopped into the bus, paying with his lunch money, then taking a seat. This was already a tiring first day.
Taehyung
Hope I reach in time
And with that the bus rode off, heading to the school.
