You woke up to the sound of your alarm blaring, signaling the start of another busy day. Rubbing the sleep from your eyes, you dragged yourself out of bed and groggily made your way to the bathroom to freshen up. The warm water from the shower helped wake you up a bit, but the thought of facing Taehyung at university made your stomach tie itself into knots.

Dressed in your usual jeans and a comfortable sweater, you grabbed your bag and headed out the door.

Your outfit

The familiar campus came into view as you walked towards your first class. Walking to the university, you could feel your heart pounding in your chest. You tried to push down the anxiety that threatened to overwhelm you as you prepared yourself for another encounter with Taehyung.

------------------------------------

During lunch break, you retreat to the cafeteria, hoping to find solace in a quiet corner. However, Taehyung spots you and decides to make a grand entrance. He approaches your table, with Jimin by his side, their laughter echoing in the otherwise peaceful space.

"Oh look, it's the loser," he mocks, his voice echoing through the room. The entire cafeteria falls silent, all eyes on you, waiting to see how you will react.

They exchanged malicious smirks between themselves before making a beeline towards your table.

"Look who we have here," Taehyung sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. "It's our favorite loser, having a meal all by herself. How pathetic."

Jimin chimed in, his voice laced with malicious glee. "Oh, look, Tae. She even has the audacity to eat something. Lucky for her, we're here to fix her little lunch."

Before you could react, Taehyung abruptly shoved your tray, sending your food flying across the table. It splattered onto your clothes and nearby students, causing the entire cafeteria to erupt in laughter. Humiliation washed over you, and you could feel your face flush with embarrassment.

"What's the matter, loser?" Taehyung mocked, not bothering to conceal his wicked delight. "Can't even eat in peace without making a mess, can you?"

Jimin joined in, "Yeah, you're pretty clumsy, aren't you? Maybe you should just stay out of our way."

Frustration boiled within you, but you knew any retaliation would only worsen the situation.

"Why are you always doing this? What have I ever done to you?"

Taehyung's laughter, mingled with the amused snickers of Jimin, filled the air. "You think I need a reason to torment you? It's just fun to watch someone as pathetic as you suffer."

The surrounding students, some silently observing, others too afraid to intervene, created a suffocating atmosphere that seemed to amplify Taehyung's cruelty.

Taehyung and Jimin sauntered away, leaving you to pick up the scattered remnants of your lunch while the entire cafeteria watched in silence. It was clear that standing up to Taehyung wouldn't make things any easier for you.

-------------------------------------

As you were lost in your thoughts, Yoora, joined you. You exchanged a warm smile before engaging in a friendly conversation.

Yoora took a seat next to you and greeted you with a cheerful smile. "Hey there! Mind if I join you?"

You looked up from your daydreaming and returned the smile. "Of course not, Yoora."

Yoora settled down, crossing her legs and fiddling with her pen. "So, what's been going on with you lately?" she asked, looking genuinely interested.

"Oh, the usual," you said with a shrug. "Classes, assignments, the never-ending struggle."

"I feel you," Yoora said, nodding sympathetically. "It's been so hectic lately."

You let out a sigh of relief. "I can't wait for the break. Just a few more weeks, and we'll have some much-needed time off."

"It's been exhausting. I had four classes back-to-back, and the professors decided to assign extra readings on the same day. I can't wait for the weekend!"

You nodded understandingly. "I feel you. It's tough balancing everything, isn't it?"

Yoora leaned back, staring up at the clear blue sky. You chuckled, empathizing with Yoora's predicament.

Yoora started showing you pictures from her recent trip to Europe. She shared breathtaking landscapes, charming cityscapes, and many delightful moments captured with her friends. Her eyes sparkled as she recounted the adventures she had experienced across different countries.

It was a picture of her brother, surrounded by a group of friends. Your heart skipped a beat, and a sense of familiarity washed over you. As you closely examined the photo, you realized with a jolt that these individuals were none other than your bullies.

"This is me and my brother," Yoora said, pointing at the picture displayed on her phone. "And those are his friends. We've been buddies since childhood, and we all are really close."

As you glanced at the photo, your eyes widened. It felt like the world had come crashing down around you. Yoora noticed the change in your demeanor and asked if something was wrong. Trying to mask your unease, you forced a smile and replied, "No, everything's fine. Just reminiscing about the past, you know?"

Yoora nodded understandingly, "I get it. We all have those days. Hey, where do you live by the way?" she asked, trying to change the subject.

"In the university dorm," you replied, trying to brighten up a bit.

"Ah, the dorm life! How's it been living there?" Yoora inquired, genuinely curious.
You pondered for a moment before answering, "It's fine, I guess. Nothing too exciting, but it's cozy."

Yoora's face lit up, "That's great to hear! You know what, I should introduce you to my brothers and some of my friends. I think you'd get along well with them."

You forced a smile and said, "Sure, that would be nice." Deep down, you dreaded the idea of meeting Yoora's brothers and friends. They were the same people who had made your life miserable.

--------------------------------

As you hurriedly made your way to class, your mind weighed down by the impending test, you unexpectedly bumped into Jungkook at the hallway.

"Hey, it's you again!" Jungkook exclaimed with a friendly smile.

"Hey Jungkook! What a surprise to see you here," you replied, your mood instantly lifting at the sight of him.

Jungkook chuckled, "I'm glad we ran into each other."

You returned the smile, feeling grateful for his timely assistance in the past. "Likewise! You really saved me with that research paper. I couldn't have done it without your help."

Just as you were catching up with Jungkook, a familiar voice called out, "Hey, what's going on here?" Turning around, you saw Yoora approaching with a playful grin on her face.

Jungkook's eyes lit up when he saw Yoora. "Yoora! What a surprise to see you here too. Do you all have the same class?"

You chuckled, realizing that Yoora and Jungkook were childhood friends, a fact you hadn't known before.

"Yeah, we coincidentally have the same class," Yoora confirmed with a grin.

The three of you fell into an easy conversation, sharing stories and laughing at inside jokes. It felt like you had known each other for years, despite it only being the second time you and Jungkook had crossed paths.

Before you knew it, the bell rang, signaling the start of your class.

"Well, looks like it's time to head to class," Jungkook said, glancing at his watch. "It was great seeing you. Let's catch up soon!"

You and Yoora nodded in agreement, bidding farewell to Jungkook as you went your class.

---------------------------------

As Taehyung and Jimin stood inside the principal's office, they tried to keep straight faces, not wanting to further anger the already furious principal. His voice boomed in the room, lecturing them on the consequences of their prank on Mr. Park, the strictest teacher in the school.

"I cannot believe you two would pull such a childish prank in Mr. Park's classroom," the principal scolded.

Taehyung glanced at Jimin, who was struggling to stifle a laugh. "We're really sorry, sir. It won't happen again," Taehyung replied, his voice barely concealing his amusement.

"This is not the first time I've caught you two causing trouble. What do you have to say for yourselves?" The principal said looking at them sharply.

"We just wanted to have some fun, but we didn't realize it would upset Miss Lee so much."

"Fun? This isn't a joke, Taehyung. Miss Park was embarrassed in front of the entire staff because of your actions." 

The principal continued to lecture the two boys about the importance of respecting authority and following the rules.

"We understand, Principal. We'll make it right, we promise." Jimin said looking down.

"You two are lucky I don't suspend you both. I expect a written apology to Miss Lee by the end of the day." The principal said looking disappointed knowing well that he can't do much.

"Yes, Principal. We'll take care of it right away." Taehyung said.

After what felt like an eternity, the principal finally dismissed them. As they stepped out of the office, the tension melted away, and they couldn't contain their laughter any longer.

"I can't believe we actually did that," Jimin chuckled, wiping away tears of mirth.

Taehyung high-fived him, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "But admit it, that was epic!"

The two friends continued to laugh, their voices echoing through the empty corridors of the school. Despite the scolding from the principal, they knew that their afternoon of mischief had been worth it.

Yoora took a deep breath as she approached Taehyung and Jimin, who were grinning mischievously near the school gate. She could see them whispering and planning their next prank. With a stern expression, she confronted them, "Why do you always have to pull pranks on the teacher? It's not right, and you should stop with your bullying too."

Jimin chuckled, "Oh, come on, Yoora! It's all in good fun. The teacher never gets hurt, and it lightens the mood in class."

Taehyung added, "Yeah, we never mean any harm. It's just harmless fun, I promise."

Yoora shook her head, trying to make them understand, "It's not funny to everyone."

Taehyung noticed the concern in Yoora's eyes and walked closer to her. "Hey, it's okay. We hear you. We'll tone it down if it bothers you that much."

As Taehyung wrapped his arms around Yoora in a comforting hug, she felt a rush of emotions. It was as if a whole zoo of butterflies had been set loose in her stomach. For a moment, she forgot about the pranks and the jokes and simply enjoyed the warmth of Taehyung's embrace.

After a brief silence, Jimin cleared his throat, "Alright, we'll stop the pranks. We don't want you to feel uncomfortable."

Yoora smiled, grateful for their understanding.
