At this point I'll stop putting trigger warnings. Each chapter needs one. So this one will just be my final notice
-

I left the library once the clock hit 4. I don't have to stay for any additional classes because I have dance classes from 6-8 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. My homeroom teacher was annoyed at first to know this, but eventually let it slide since I had a good record before coming here.

Now she wants me to go since I'm only at a B average. Luckily, as a 2nd year student, it's not mandatory for me to attend after school study. Tuesdays and thursdays on the other hand, She wants me to attend them from now on.

The guys never attend any of them because Hoseok's dad's a math teacher. I'm not sure how they did it, but Hoseok's dad willingly signed them all off for monday through saturday math tutoring. Maybe it's because they're all doing well academically anyways.

I walked towards the front gates. All of them were hanging out against it. After you walk out of the gate, there's the sidewalk and then the road. I sighed to myself as I continued forward.

Taehyung and I made eye contact. His smile grew as he casually looked back to the other guys and continued on the conversation. I hesitated to keep going, but pushed myself to. It just sucks that they're hanging out on the side that I have to walk down.

I looked at the others. All of them besides Jungkook looked invested in the conversation. Jungkook on the other hand was shamelessly staring at me. I looked straight forward once I noticed his eyes on me. Even once I made it to the gate, I could still feel them on me.

I couldn't help but glance at him just one time as I walked in their direction. He had a deep frown on his face. I lowered my gaze on after a second.

"Jimin" Taehyung called for me.

I ignored him.

He stepped out in front of me. I stopped in my place and looked up at him.

"Did you just ignore me?" He asked.

I shook my head and looked down at my shoes.

"I didn't mean to. I just wanted to get home quickly." I said

"Oh ok. That's fine. Go ahead and go then." He said.

I looked up a bit confused. He had a smile on his face, but the way his eyes stayed dull, let me know it was fake. He gestured for me to continue on around him. I nodded my head and began to walk to the side of him.

I walked on the side closest to the road where he gestured. Just as I did, I felt his hand on my arm. He shoved me to the side.

Then I was yanked back. I stumbled backwards a bit. I looked over my shoulder to see Jungkook behind me. He wasn't looking at me though. He was glaring at Taehyung.

"A little too far, Taehyung" Jungkook snapped.
"No car was close enough though" Taehyung pouted.

His shoulders visibly dropped some. I stared at him with wide eyes.

Is he insane? He must want to kill me.

"Yah, shut up Jungkook. Anyways, why did you avoid us all day? We worried about you until Jungkook told us that you were hiding in the library." Hoseok said, changing the topic.

All eyes were on me now. I shook my head quickly and looked over at Jungkook again. He only brought his index finger to his lip and began to bite at the nail. Our eye contact broke almost as soon as I looked at him.

"I-I was catching up on yesterday's lesson" I said.

I was using my lessons as an excuse to hide out from them. I told Jungkook what I told them just now. Is this his sudden effort to look cool or something? Why did he tell them I was hiding out if I told him something different?

"Boring." Taehyung said as he rolled his eyes. "Anyways, we're going out to eat. Would you like to come? It's all you can eat buffet, so your meal won't cost too much. In case you're worried."

I simply shook my head again.

"Hm. Your loss" he shrugged.

He shoved me once again as soon as he finished talking. I stumbled to try and catch myself. I was too weak to have control over whether I fell or not. My body collided with the ground anyways.

As soon as my body hit the ground, two lights flashed in my eyes. A car had slammed its breaks. Rolling forward close enough that I didn't even have to fully extend my arm to touch it. The driver honked their horn several times which caused my ears to ring.

I couldn't breathe. I stared at the bumper wide eyes. My heart dropped into my stomach. Tears filled my eyes before my mind could fully catch up to everything happening.

All in a matter of seconds my eyes shot up at Taehyung. He was laughing. The others all had their eyes closed as if they'd expected me to really have gotten hit. Jungkook was the one to run over to me and yank me up by my arms. He tugged my body up and out of the road. He set me onto my feet and once I felt in control enough to balance, I stepped away from him. Only biting my lip and trying not to blink so tears don't spill in front of all of them.

Jungkook didn't say anything to Taehyung this time. Only looked at Taehyung like he was disgusting. He's not wrong.

"See, Jungkook. That one was close" Taehyung said matter-of-factly.

That comment left me wondering whether he did that to spite me or Jungkook. If both, then who did he mean to hurt more here?

He turned and began to walk away from everyone. Of course, the others all followed like dogs on a leash. All besides Jungkook.

I'm not sure if it's the fact that he's seen me at my worst already or if it's because I really can't hold myself back anymore, but I bursted into tears.

"Are you ok?" Jungkook asked.

I was just shoved in front of a car, and he really thought to ask if I was ok? Why does he care anyways?

Only hours ago he was forcing making me eat a whole bar of chocolate in front of him.

Then again, he did just help me now.

He's still like the rest of them. He doesn't care. Not a single one of them are really my friends. I'm just a punching bag to them. Someone to beat around.

"A-as if you care" I cried.

I hate that I'm so vulnerable now. I'm ashamed to be crying in front of him for the second time today. Today is just another step closer to the edge.

"I mean, I do. I-I'm your friend" He frowned and reached out for me.

I stepped away from him and shot him a confused look.

"Then if you care so much why don't you eat your feelings? I don't want them"

Haven't proof read. My teacher hasn't left commentary on it yet either. Hopefully it's fine. Idk
