the annoying beep from his alarm was what woke taehyung up that morning. he smacked it before throwing his covers off, the clock reading 6:00am in red glowing letters.

once the sound disappeared all taehyung could hear was his breathing, what kept him alive. the sun shone through the window, bouncing off taehyung's pastel purple walls, and causing a purple stripe of light to crawl up his bare chest and across his face.

taehyung didn't want to get up. he never did. getting up meant leaving his room. leaving the only place where taehyung could forget about his face. but taehyung rolled out of bed anyways, ruffling his blonde locks.

"new school. new start," the teenager whispered to himself, making his way towards his bathroom.

he brushed his teeth and gently washed his face. taehyung smiled at himself in the mirror, wondering if today would be different. if this city would do him better. if this school would accept him. if the community wouldn't think of him as different.

"probably not. it's always the same," taehyung thought to himself, leaving the bathroom with a frown on his face.

after getting dressed into his uniform, the blonde packed his bag, making sure to put a paper bag inside. he'll be needing that.

when the teen made it downstairs, he was greeted with kisses from his mom.

"good morning, sweetie," mrs kim grinned. "you should start heading to your bus before you miss it." she gestured towards the clock on the microwave. 7:30am.

"oh shoot! thanks mom, bye!" taehyung waved goodbye, running off to the front door.

"good luck!" his mom yelled, plopping a few ice cubes in her coffee.

once taehyung entered school, he had his paper bag on. as he didn't know where he was going, the boy found his way to the office.

"uhm, excuse me, but you're going to have to take off that bag," the secretary said, slowly wheeling her chair back as she was scared.

taehyung just slid a note to the lady, allowing her to read it. the note basically said that taehyung had to wear the paper bag for medical reasons.

"oh, i'm sorry dear. what's your name so i can get you your time table?" the lady apologized, beginning to look through a large binder.

"kim taehyung," taehyung spoke quietly, his sharp misplaced eyes staring daggers into the secretary's.

"ah, here you are!" the lady nervously passed taehyung the paper, waving goodbye.

taehyung first made it to his locker, taking him three tries to open it. once opened, the boy hung his bag up and took out his stuff for first period. he decided it'd be best to start heading there now, knowing that it will take him more than five minutes.

science. room 237.

he got there just on time, but not without awkward stares in the halls.

he'll never be normal, will he?

"ah, you must be the new student," a young man, who seemed to be the science teacher, greeted.

"yes. i'm kim taehyung," he introduced, bowing slightly.

"alright class! this is kim taehyung. taehyung could you take off your bag for a moment, so the students can see your face?" taehyung felt faint at those words.

"uh, i can't sir. the doctors wouldn't be happy." the teacher nodded in understanding.

"okay. take a seat beside that young man in the front, seokjin, please." mr kim, as his tag said, pointed at a handsome teenager.

taehyung felt intimidated.

there was no reason to feel this way, as no one could see his face.

but just knowing that the ugliest boy in class was sitting beside the prettiest, it made him feel sick.

there was no way taehyung would survive this school year.
