Taehyung rolls over on his bed to feel something right beside him, he opens his eyes and sees brown hair sticking out from under the blanket. 

Taehyung lets out a little scream before being hit in the face by an arm that came up from under the blanket 

"Shut up I'm trying to sleep" Jungkook mumbles into the pillow he's using. 

"What are you doing here?" 

"I was cold" Jungkook says yawning right afterwords. All throughout the night he was twisting and turning in his bed unable to sleep in this unfamiliar room.  

"That doesn't mean you can crawl in with me" Taehyung sits up and shifts himself up and out of the blanket revealing his dark blue t shirt and blue checkered pajama pants. 

"Body heat is better than a blanket to keep people warm" Jungkook says as he rubs his eyes. 

"Not with a stranger, we've known each other for like a day or well two now" Taehyung says he looks away. Jungkook notices the top of Taehyung's ears turning a bright red.

"Don't tell me you've never slept next to someone before" Jungkook jokes and Taehyung feels his face heat up. 

"I'm going to shower" Taehyung practically runs into the bathroom and closes the door behind him. 

Jungkook shuffles his bare feet on the ground until he gets to his bed. He falls face first into the pillows. A scene plays in his head. His eyes closed. He pictures a scene he remembers all too well, he can feel their hands on him, he can feel their nails digging into his arm. He feels the holes being put into his shirt, his white shirt with holes someone would pay fifty dollars to get, he had for free, the shirt which he stole from someones gym locker years prior and the holes engraved in it by his bullies, the kids faces blurred since its only a memory playing in Jungkook's head. Their words come muffled "I guess he really doesn't have any money for lunch", they said before leaving him on the cold floor. 

Jungkooks eyes flutter open, the feeling of hands on him he jumps as he hears footsteps behind him. He looks wide eyed to Taehyung, Taehyung's hair dripping wet, his towel rapped around his lower half. 

"Didn't mean to scare you, hi I'm still your roommate, Taehyung, we met two days ago" Taehyung with his imitation of something he believes Jungkook would say  then walks away to pick out his clothes. 

Jungkook catches his breath and forgets the horrible memory from his mind of that day.

He walked home after practically being shoved and pushed around for money he didn't even have and he swore never to show weakness again. His lip bloodstained. His eyes to the floor he walked into his small apartment. His mom not home, his older brother who abandoned the family, when he got a scholarship to college, was nowhere to be found except for a small picture hanging  on the ripped wallpaper about to fall down. He heard crying, loud high pitch crying. He ran knowing exactly where it was coming from. The twins had been left alone in their two room apartment. He went to check up on them, the toddlers wearing the only clothes they owned. Both of the girls cried louder and louder and all Jungkook could do was hug them. He felt the warmth radiating off of their heads, they both had fevers. But even then there was nothing he could do, he didn't have enough to spend on the medicine they needed. No emergency money anywhere. 

"Yeah my new roommate" Jungkook says in his normal voice.  

"We have classes tomorrow" 

"I know.." Jungkook walks past Taehyung as he puts his shirt over his head. Jungkook looks outside, wondering how his two sisters are in this moment. Last he saw of them. He proudly gave them a set of two dolls he bought from all the spare change he picked up on the streets. He made them promise to play respectfully, then he promised he would come see them soon. 

"you okay?" Taehyung asks 

"Yeah, just wondering about my family" 

"you should give them a call" Taehyung says. They have no phone.

"I will do that later" Jungkook forces a smile that looks so genuine Taehyung doesn't even notice.  

Jungkook's family is very poor, he is their only source of income now a days. With all the things and money he stole he was able to get himself into this school. He didn't leave to cause them harm, unlike his brother who left them with no words and never checks in, Jungkook plans to send them boxes with things they can use or sell for money, him not being there equals less money for his mom to spend on him and more for the twins and herself. 

At his old school he was one of the worst students but improving, trying his best to get better grades so he can become successful but due to the failing and the bullying he opted for stealing instead, with the stolen money was a new hope, a school filled with the elite a place for even more money to be found. A perfect place for a robber. 

"We are in the same class, I can um" Taehyung clears his throat "help you get caught up on anything you may have missed or don't understand" he adds trying to make this roommate friend thing less awkward than it already is. 

"Thanks" is all Jungkook manages to say as he looks through the only clothes he has for one he should wear. Maybe I shouldn't change today its best that way, he thinks to himself. He goes back to his bed.  "Hows your family like?" Jungkook asks looking at Taehyung, Taehyung sighs.

"My family...They are great but they always expect me to be the son who walks around with his head up high and they want me to be the best heir to ever exist when I'm begging them to just let my brother be the heir because I don't want any part of their business or money I just want to be normal and have normal responsibilities." Taehyung sighs again 

"At family gatherings they are always discussing with whom I'll marry and what company I will intertwine their company with due to the said marriage. I might just end up marrying someone twice my age, maybe a widowed lady  just to give them the more money they want"  

Jungkook nods as if he understands but their worlds are so much different.
