Y/N sees that Tae had read her message about 2 hours ago but still didn’t receive a reply, making her worry that he didn’t approve. She looks around her now clean room and wonders if she really did make the right choice, knowing that everything is going to change once she becomes her old self. Technically, she did look like her old self but she really didn’t feel that way, though she didn’t mind pretending until she actually felt it. She sighs and looks up, catching sight of herself on the mirror hanging just above her desk opposite the room. She looked really good and she felt pretty, a feeling that she hadn’t felt in a very long time. She then shifted her gaze onto the desk to see a pile of books that she realized were going to be overdue if she didn’t turn the back in later in the day. She figures that she would just get some more books while she was there and she could be closer to class.

“I’m heading out! See you!” She hears Seulgi yell followed by the slamming of the front door.

She decides then that it’s a good time to actually get up to put clothes on, careful to not mess up Seulgi’s work. She laces her shoes and picks up her bag, stuffing the books she needed to return inside. She loved reading, it relaxed her and she could never get enough, especially when it came to manga. She leaves the dorm and heads out into the courtyard, enjoying the morning air as the chilly air nips at her skin. She walks up to a building that she learned from Taehyung as the English building, where people do higher level reading classes and take foreign languages. She looks down and fumbles with her bag, trying to get her schedule for a specific room she needed to be in.

She chuckles in satisfaction when she finds what she was looking for and enters the building, scanning the walls left to right as she tries to find room 7A. She hums happily as she finds it, entering the empty room to sit in the back and get ready for class to start. She takes out her phone to see if Taehyung had texted her back yet and is disappointed to see that he still didn’t say anything about her make up. 

Y/N

Are we still on for dinner?

She had hoped that Taehyung didn’t forget his promise to her the day before as she was looking forward to him paying for her.

Taeter Tot

Y/N

Oh

Taeter Tot

Y/N

Oh

Taeter Tot

Alrightyroo bugaboo

You better be looking that good until then

No taking off that make up

Got it?

Y/N

Yes sir

She smiles, knowing that he had meant it when he said the comment about her make up, silently thanking Seulgi for making her look good.

“Excuse me, is this seat taken?” A voice from beside her says.

She looks up to see an unfamiliar girl smiling at her, gesturing to the seat beside her.

“Huh? Oh, uh, no it’s not taken.” She says, giving the girl a small smile in return.

“Awesome, I’ll sit here then. I’m Lisa, it’s nice to meet you.” Lisa says as she sets her things down.

“Ah, likewise, I’m Y/N.” She says.

“Huh, pretty name for a pretty girl.” Lisa winks.

Y/N feels her face turn an awkward pink at the compliment and feels a bit out of place, not really knowing how to respond.

“Hey, I’m just messing with you. You are really pretty though, I hope we can be friends.” Lisa chuckles.

“Y-Yeah, me too.” Y/N replies.

She tries to brush off the strange tone in Lisa’s voice but seems to focus on it, making her wonder about the girl's sexuality as more people begin to walk into the classroom. Y/N looks around to see familiar faces but fails to find any, seeing two other girls take a seat on the other side of her in her periphery.

“Hiya! I’m Sana and this is Mina! I hope that we have a good semester together.” The girl on her right says.

“Hello, I’m Y/N, I hope that we are able to become good friends.” Y/N bows slightly, trying to show respect.

As the class starts to settle down, a paper is thrown in front of Y/N’s laptop, making her scrunch her eyebrows in wonder as she opens it.

Don’t trust Mina - L

She blinks at the three words and turns to look at Lisa, who was trying to play off the throwing of the note as just stretching. They lock eyes and she shakes her head slightly while shifting her gaze to the girl that was within the note. Y/N follows her gaze to see the girl smiling at her phone, a suspicious aura around her as she starts to type something. Y/N switches from Mina to Sana who was doodling a small elephant in the corner of her notebook. She looks back a the note again, asking herself whether or not to trust any of the people, after all, she just met them.

Thanks for the heads up

Y/N nods as she puts the note back on Lisa’s desk. The class starts to take off shortly after the exchange and Y/N finds herself feeling more and more uncomfortable sitting in between the two girls who obviously have beef together. As the day dragged on, Y/N found that this was the case with almost all of her classes and by the time she was ready to go to lunch with Taehyung, the two sides of the argument were now using her as something to fight about.

“She wouldn’t want to hang out with a loser like you.” Mina sneers.

“Well at least I’m not a bitch.” Lisa retorts.

“Is that the best you can do you whore?” Mina jeers.

“I’m the whore? Have you seen how many hickeys are on your neck? Nice make up job you slut, come on, Y/N.” Lisa says, taking hold of Y/N’s hand, pulling it closer to her.

“Look at you, you just want to get her alone so you can scissor in the janitors closet.” Mina says, taking hold of her other hand.

Y/N remains limp as she had no idea which side to take as she met both of the girls just a few hours earlier but she knew she couldn’t let it escalate.

“You know, both of you aren’t making a very good first impression. Who’s to say I won’t be either of your friends?” Y/N finally speaks up as the girls start tugging on both arms.

“First impressions? You’re gonna let that dike have a good first impression in your mind?” Mina asks, letting go of Y/N’s left hand.

The action caused Y/N to fly back into Lisa’s body and she was grateful that Lisa was strong enough to hold her up, until Lisa pushed her off and she landed on the ground, scratching her knee and palm on the concrete. She felt herself start to get upset and felt tears sting the back of her eyes, willing herself to force them down as she had promised Taehyung that she wouldn’t take off her make up. A hand found itself in her vision and she looks up, seeing a concerned Jimin looking down at her, making her feel even more embarrassed.

“Are you okay?” He asks.

His gentle voice surprisingly soothed her and she accepted his help in getting up. As she stands, she tries her best to nod in answer to his question and watched as Jimin took a look at her knee, not knowing how he could be so gentle. 

“You know, if you wanted to be friends with her then try not to hurt her.” Jimin says, turning to the oblivious girls who were about to pounce on one another. 

Mina straightened her posture and flipped her hair behind her shoulder, putting on a flirtatious look before walking over to where Jimin and Y/N stood.

“Hey, Jiminie, I didn’t know you and Y/N knew each other.” Mina says, her voice a sultry purr.

“Yeah, she’s Taehyung’s sister. He’s not gonna be happy to know that you pushed her.” Jimin says, obviously not intrigued by her sudden change in demeanor.

“What? I didn’t push her, that bitch over there let her go.” Mina sneers.

“Okay but you let go first.” He points out. 

“N-No I-” Mina starts.

“Mina, I watched you! Is that how you really treat people?” Jimin asks, shaking his head at her.

Y/N watches with a slight blush on her face, not knowing how to react as Jimin stands up for her. She hated to be a damsel in distress but he didn’t really give her a choice in this particular situation. Her knee was hurting more than her palm and she staggered back into the bench, gently sitting down to not irritate the knee. Jimin protectively hovers his hands on either of her body to catch her if she falls.

“Jimin, I’m fine.” Y/N says, trying hard not to look up at him.

“Are you sure?” He asks.

Mina angrily stares at the exchange, feeling jealousy bubble up within her chest and she takes Jimin into her arms, smiling at him.

“She says she’s fine Jiminie, can we go out now? You promised.” She pouts her lip.

Jimin looks back at Y/N, who was still holding her knee and looks back to the girl in front of him, knowing that he hates to break promises.

“Okay, well as long as you’re okay Y/N, I’m going to be going now okay? I texted Taehyung and he should be here any second now.” Jimin says, not moving until he heard an answer from her.

Y/N scoffs and looks up, shaking her head in disbelief. 

So the school slut is with the playboy, I guess they’re meant to be.

“Whatever playboy, go have fun with your plaything.” Y/N mumbles, looking back down at her knee.

Jimin feels a sharp pain go through his chest and he takes a step toward her, but before he could even utter out a word, Taehyung came into view and rushed to Y/N’s side. Y/N breathes in relief and smiles weakly at Taehyung who was slowly helping her up, allowing her to use him as a crutch as they start to turn away from the small group. 

“Here, use me for your left side, you should keep your arm elevated for your palm.” A voice comes from the other side of her.

Y/N looks to see Sana smiling apologetically and offering her arm, which Y/N hesitantly takes.

“Sana, where are you going?” Mina screeches as they start to walk away.

“Mina, go enjoy your dick appointment, I know he’s the, what, third one today?” Taehyung sneers.

Y/N stifles a laugh with a cough and turns her head to see that Jimin was still looking in her direction with a sad look on his face. She didn’t know why but the sight made her chest churn and a wave of guilt washed over her, even though he deserved what she said. She frowns at him and turns away, allowing the people on either side to guide her to the nurse.
