Half way through gym class Yoongi tells the teacher he is going to go to the bathroom. As he walks into the school, he stops at the locker room and changes back into his school uniform. He scopes the hallways, no teachers in sight, he peaks into their classroom, no teacher inside. He slides the door open and grabs all of his stuff, he takes his backpack from his chair and wipes everything off of his desk, just putting everything inside. He zips up his bag and then rushes to the nearest stairwell. 

He passes classes filled with underclassmen as he looks for an empty classroom. He finds one and he goes inside and opens a window. He gets himself through the window and his feet touch the ground automatically. 

Not caring if he gets caught he fast walks near the school gates. He sprints fast when he loses the school wall blocking him. He runs down the road not knowing where he is going. He ends up at a convenience store. He stands at the corner catching his breath. His stomach grumbles bringing him back to reality, he didn't eat that much at lunch. He walks past the store and goes in to the first restaurant he sees. He sits down at a booth and places his backpack next to him. 

The worker behind the bar grabs a menu and walks over to him. 

"I'd ask if you wanted a beer but you seem underage" He says looking at Yoongi's uniform 

"Actually I'm nineteen" 

"Well then, do you want a beer?" 

"No thanks" Yoongi looks up at the guy, he looks familiar. 

"You graduated a few years ago" Yoongi states and the guy smiles widely.

"yeah I did, I'm Jimin, don't know what happened to my uniform though" he points at Yoongi's 

"I'm Yoongi, yeah I didn't have anything else to wear when I" Yoongi points to his bag signaling that he left school early. He starts getting nervous that Jimin would tell on him or something but at the same time he didn't care.

"Don't sweat it, lunch rush hour is over, no one will notice you're here" Jimin places the menu down.  

Jimin takes a good look at Yoongi, realizing he would see him in the hallway almost every day.

"I remember when you were a freshman, you were that kid who'd always seem angry but that was just how your face was" Jimin says then he scratches the back of his neck. 

"That was not a good conversation to start, let me start again, I remember you, you left an impression. Something I don't remember are those" he points to the bruises on Yoongi's face

"Funny, I got them yesterday, they look good don't they" Yoongi looks away from Jimin.

A ringing sound goes off signing the door has been opened. 

"Believe it or not, I'm a pretty boy, but I also got into trouble" Jimin says 

"Pretty boy, yeah right" 

Jimin turns around 

"Shut up Jin, you're supposed to be on your break, go back" Jimin points to the door. 

"my break ends in two minutes" Jin says walking to the kitchen, "Also can you ask your dad if its necessary to have that bell, hurts my ear every time" Jin complains before going into the back room. 

"I can tell you my stories after I place your order in" Jimin says, Yoongi orders his food. Eager to talk Jimin rushes to the kitchen and tells the chef the order. He also fills up a glass with water and goes back to Yoongi's table, he puts the glass down.

"Mind if I sit?" Technically he didn't need to ask but he wanted to be polite.

"I don't mind" 

Jimin sits down in front of Yoongi and puts his hands together on top of the table.

"Share your story first?" 

"Well, I just fought for a friend" Yoongi takes a sip of his water. 

"Was your friend in trouble? Money issues?" 

"He was being bullied for being deaf" 

"Hmm, thats new, I haven't heard of that situation before, so you're the kind of guy that stands up for his friends, I think we are alike" Jimin says 

"I mean.. I don't know how to mix drinks like I'm assuming you do" Yoongi says and Jimin laughs 

"Maybe I'm cooler than you, but I also stand up from my friends and sometimes I get hurt due to it" Jimin's lips purse together. 

"You remembered seeing me in school, what do you remember?" Jimin asks 

"You were one of the guys everyone envied, all I remember is girls confessing to you a lot and everyone going up to you in the hallways" Yoongi admits 

"I looked great didn't I, well I wasn't just a pretty boy" 

Full of himself much, Yoongi thinks 

"Someone..A friend of mine, he got in some trouble, he owed money to some really scary dude. The guy went to punch him but I put myself in front, that day I got a bruise on my chest and a cut on my arm. I know how you might feel, or maybe I don't but I understand where you're coming from" 

"I just, I feel so bad for him, he's going through so much, and our mutual friend who should be helping him, isn't, at least from what I've seen the past few days" 

Jin walks over and places the food on the table. 

"I have a friend that goes to that school" Jin says looking at the symbol on Yoongi's uniform, "his name is Taehyung" 

Yoongi goes wide eyed. 

"You know Tae?" 

"Yeah and Jungkook, that kid is a piece of work" Jin mumbles. 

"He isn't, he's just been odd the past few days" 

Jimin goes wide eyed realizing these are the people Yoongi has been talking about. 

"You can go back now Jin" he says, his eyes focused on Jin's face almost desperate for him to leave. 

"His deaf friend, is your deaf friend" 

"I guess so" Yoongi says and he starts eating. "Small world" he says with his mouth full.

"Something I also learned from helping out my friends, is you can't always expect things to fall into place easily, but there are ways to...To solve things faster, whoever went and did that to you, press charges, get them moved to a different school or least a restraining order, one problem solved, that friend who is a piece of work, whenever he messes up make it a big deal so he learns" Jimin's face serious. He thinks of his past. 

"the case was never a case I mean, it ended with my friend saying it was self defense so I'm not in trouble, the guy that did it is suspended for a week" 

"Press charges" Jimin urges, "I know you most likely don't want to make this a big deal, but I bet they still hurt, having him moved will help your friend so it doesn't happen again"  Jimin didn't want to finish his story that he started about his friend owing money but he felt the need to. 

"Sorry I'm pushing this on you, we don't know each other well, but I just.. I want you to help your friend and yourself...My friend, the one that owed money, he never told anyone else and" Jimin takes a deep breath, "If he did..If I did, maybe he'd still be alive" 

Yoongi stops eating. Jimin notices the sympathy thats on Yoongi's face

"Im not in no means saying that something will happen to your friend, situations are different, I'm just saying if you think this guy is a threat to your friend, end it, if you need anything I'll be behind the bar" Jimin excuses himself not wanting to bring up anything else or make Yoongi feel uncomfortable. He sees a part of his past self in Yoongi and he just felt like he wanted to help him. Like how Yoongi wants to help Taehyung. 

Yoongi finishes his meal and grabs his bag. 

"You never did tell me those stories" Yoongi says going up to the bar. Jimin looks up, "Well I guess we will have to meet agin" 

Yoongi pulls his phone out of his pocket and goes to add a contact, he holds his phone out, Jimin makes his own contact, putting his number and putting 'Pretty Boy J' as his contact name. 

"I also, I thought about what you said, if I tell you the full story of these" Yoongi points to the bruises. "If you think it's worth it, would go with me to press charges on the guy who seems to have it out for my friend" Yoongi says nervously.

"For sure"

"Oh and the check please" Yoongi says taking out his old wallet from his bag. Jimin puts down the check

 "Im the owners son" Jimin blurts out, "So this, isn't needed" he grabs the check and rips it. 

"But I do accept tips" he winks at Yoongi 

"and the promise that I will keep your contact name as Pretty boy" Yoongi says as he hands Jimin five dollars. 

"that sounds good to me, I'm going to take my break, wait for me?" Jimin asks 

"yeah, sure" Yoongi stands there awkwardly as he waits for Jimin to come back out, Jimin holds out a leather jacket. 

"Trade your blazer for this, so people don't you know.." his voice trails off into thin air.

"oh yeah, thanks" Yoongi changes and puts his school blazer in his backpack. 

"I know a nice park not too far from here, we can talk there" Jimin says and he opens the door for Yoongi. Yoongi goes out first and then he does. Jimin leads the way to a nice park surrounded by trees. They sit on a park bench that has a plaque on it stating how its dedicated to someone. Yoongi looks at it and traces his finger around the plaque, he reads the name out loud "Daehyun" 

"That was my friend" Jimin says looking at the plaque, "he would always come to this park with his family, he came here so much that it was only right that they leave something related to him here" Jimin says 

"I'm so sorry for your loss" Yoongi says 

"Don't be, don't feel pity for me, so tell me about the situation yesterday" 

Their backs now touching the backboard of the bench as they both face forward.

"Well, this kid named Jae-hyun, he for some reason finds the need to bother Taehyung" Yoongi explains the situation of how Jae-hyun grabbed Taehyung and then how he got involved. Telling the story with as much detail as he could so Jimin could grasp the situation. 

"The school just suspended him? Thats it? Thats assault, which is serious, especially since when you saw him in the bathroom and what he said, thats a threat, thats it you and I are going to the police, then I'll buy you coffee" 

"Coffee?" 

"I have five dollars now so why not" 

Yoongi rests his head on Jimin's shoulder.

"Can I sleep for a few minutes before" 

"Sure, but do you really want to sleep on a strangers shoulder" 

"do you really want to have a stranger sleep on your shoulder?" Yoongi questions and Jimin smiles to himself. 

"only strangers like you" 

"Then I'll sleep, but wake me up or we will be here all day" 

I'm alright with that, Jimin thinks 

Jimin lets Yoongi sleep for about twenty minutes, trying to make sure he doesn't move that much. 

"Yoongi" Jimin says as he looks over at the asleep boy on his shoulder, "Yoongi" he lightly shakes him until he wakes up. 

"I'm awake" 

"You are" 

Yoongi squints as he looks at Jimin. 

"what time is it?"

"You were only asleep for twenty minutes" 

"It felt like hours" Yoongi stretches out his arms, yawning 

"I guess its time" 

They get up and start walking to the police station 

"What about your friend Jungkook?" 

"What about him?"

"Jin even said he was a piece of work"

"Well, he's getting better, I tell him when he's in the wrong, he's getting better but I don't think he pays as much attention to Taehyung as he should, like don't get me wrong you can tell he loves Taehyung..." Yoongi clears his throat realizing what he just said. 

"So they are dating, I was right, Its just I've seen them at the restaurant before,I knew something was there" 

"yeah so like I was saying before I accidentally outed them, he loves Taehyung, but he let jealously take over then he kind of became inconsiderate, like he he's trying not to be jealous anymore but he always lashes out and puts blame on people before hearing the story, and  last night I think he should've stayed with Taehyung but he left his stuff at his other friends house and just stayed the night there, but besides that he is getting better, well nicer I guess" 

"Thats half a problem down, just keep encouraging him to do the right thing" Jimin says with a reassuring smile. 

"Now are you ready to do this" Jimin asks pointing to the police station, Yoongi takes a deep breath.

"Is this really the right step? Can they do something?"

"We won't know until we try" 

Yoongi puts his hand on the door handle and opens it, letting himself inside.
