Yuki/Aria

Everyone looked at me as if they were puzzled, Lua softly whispering a "what?" in disbelief. 

"My first name.." I gasped out, "it's Aria.. My mother's name was Uni.. My father's was Jungai... they died when I was 7.. I went missing.. I have a sibling.. the first day of winter is my birthday..." 

I kept going and going, tears still spilling down my cheeks and Taehyung knelt down beside me, brushing my bangs back from my forehead. 

I flinched at his touch, smacking his hand away. "Don't touch me!" I yelled, falling back. "You knew.. this whole time.. you knew.." I whispered in disbelief, looking in his eyes. 

His expression was pained, his mouth repeatedly opening and closing as he reached for me once more. 

"I said don't touch me!" I yelped, reaching up to grab Lua's arm and pull my sitting body closer to her standing one. 

I hid my face against her thighs and cried into the cloth of her tights. "Taehyung, I think you should go.." she said, not looking at him. 

She caressed the back of my head softly as he nodded, standing and walking away.

The next morning

I'm better now. I talked with Lua and told her everything that happened and everything that I found out, and she held me as I cried myself to sleep. 

Today is a new day. Today is the day that I know who I am.

I turned my head to my bedside table as I woke, glancing at the time on the alarm clock. 

"Shit!" I hollered, realizing how I had slept through half of my first class already. 

I hurriedly grabbed some of my tye-dyed leggings and a white tee to wear before changing and slipping on my black combat boots. 

I quickly laced the shoes up and shoved my things into my bag before running out of the room. 

I ran through the student yard and into the main building so that I could make it to the office and get a slip for my tardiness, yanking the door of the office open and yelping when a body came backwards with it.

"Aii!" he yelled, stumbling before he caught himself. He turned towards me quickly with a fire in his eyes, before he actually saw me completely. 

His eyes softened and I didn't know why, I didn't recognize whoever this was, with his dark eyes and slightly shaggy black hair, diamond earrings glittering from his earlobes.

"I-I'm sorry!" I rushed out a quick apology and hurried into the office, telling our secretary of my sleeping in today and asking for a pass to the lab I was supposed to be taking right now. 

She shook her head in resignation, sighing, "I'm sorry Aria, it's much too late for a tardiness slip." I sighed in defeat and backed off, leaning back my head in irritation. Before I walked out of the room, I stopped and turned back to her.

"Y-You called me Aria?" I questioned and she nodded, shuffling some things around before holding up my file. 

"I received this just this morning, it's your information, is it not correct?" she asked, tilting her head. "N-No, it's fine.." I murmured, furrowing my brows and turning back around to exit.

The young man from before hastily grabbed my arm and I nearly yelped at the scalding sensation I usually get when people touch my bareskin, except... there wasn't one. 

I gasped and looked up at him, my eyes wide, and he just smiled. "My name's Jungkook. You look familiar, have we met?"

I shook my head, removing my arm from his grasp and nodding in greeting towards him. "I'm Aria. Yuki Aria.." I mumbled out, still not used to the way my own name felt in my mouth. 

"Are you sure about that?" he chuckled, his eyes glistening. "It doesn't seem like you're too confident." 

My eyes glazed over at his comment and I nodded, biting my lip. "I think I'm sure." His smiled faded and he tilted his head at me, almost questioning what I said before someone approached us and stuck their hand out. 

"Kim Taehyung. Welcome to our academy."

I turned towards Taehyung and my eyes nearly popped out of my head at the way he was looking at the other male. 

"Jeon Jungkook.." the new guy muttered, reaching his hand out to shake Taehyung's. My whole body buzzed when they touched and I let out a mewling moan, coughing and gasping when I abruptly caught myself. 

The two turned towards me, "Are you okay?" Jungkook asked. I nodded and hitched my bag further up my shoulder as I turned down the hall. 

"I-I need to go! I'll see you later, new kid!" 

~*~

"Is he cute? How cute? What color are his eyes? What about his hair? What was he wearing? Ooh, do tell me about his voice! He sounds delightfull!" 

Hyei wouldn't stop rambling as I made my way into the lunchroom with my group of half-friends. 

I huffed and grabbed a basket of fries from the counter and munched on one before turning to her, "I literally only said 'there is a new guy' and now you won't stop pestering me about him!" 

She shrunk back a little and rolled her eyes, "Sheesh, I get it, you already claimed him." I choked on my fry and glared at her, to which she just smirked. 

"Who have you claimed?" a deeper voice asked as it came up behind me. I coughed again, choking on the same damn fry as I turned around. 

"Jungkook?" I asked, my eyes wide. "Hello again, Ms. Aria. That is your name, right?" he questioned, stealing a fry from my basket. 

I nodded quickly, mesmerized by the way his eyes twinkled as he winked at me. "I'll go save us all a table," he whispered to me before taking a few more fries and walking to the corner of the room. 

I could tell my face went red when Hyei yanked on my shoulder and gaped at me, "Holy fuck, that boy is gorgeous!" 

Lua came up to us and gave a questioning look, glancing at me then to the boy that just left us. 

Her eyes drooped a bit when she looked back at me. I didn't understand why her mood suddenly changed, but I turned back to the counter in hopes my face would cool down.

When we finally made it to the table, I sat across from Jungkook and when I looked up, he was already out of his spot and making his way around to me. 

I leaned my head back and watched him, then looked to Hyei who winked at me and wiggled her eyebrows and next to Lua who just watched. 

"Trying to run so soon, Ari?" Jungkook asked as he plopped in the seat closest to me. 

I shook my head quickly again and looked down at my fries, my stomach suddenly filling with butterflies and making my appetite disappear.  

"Hey hey.." he said, touching my arm. I hesitantly looked up at him and he came closer to the side of my face, whispering in my ear, "I'm just joking, but you're cute when you're flustered." 

I bit my lip and turned my head the other way, sure that my face must resemble a tomato by now. 

When my eyes caught Lua's, I followed her gaze down to wear Jungkook's fingertips still rested against the pale skin of my wrist. 

I suddenly felt sick, my stomach churning.

I pushed my food back and stood up quickly, apologizing to the others and muttering a quick "I'll be right back" before dashing through the doors and into the hall. 

I rested my back against the wall closest to the bathrooms, leaning my head back as the nausea disappeared. 

"What was that?" I thought to myself, placing my palm against my forehead. 

"Please don't torture me, Aria, I can't handle it." Taehyung said as he stood in front of me. 

"What?" I questioned, holding his gaze. 

"You just met him, and you're already letting him touch you, something you never let Lua do and I've only done twice!" he shouted, making me flinch. 

I turned my head away from him, thinking about what he said. 

Not even two hours ago had I just met Jungkook, and I was letting him touch me more than my best friend had in the past two years? 

What was that about? 

Realization came to me and I stood up straight, facing Taehyung.

"Don't you come to me and yell at me when you've been ignoring my existence for the past two years! I'm sorry that you had to be the one to save me, I'm sorry that I'm such a burden to you for that, but I am not apologizing for letting someone just touch my wrist when it usually causes me such pain to just be caressed by someone!" I shouted, my voice breaking. 

Taehyung shrunk back a bit,  but he raised his hand to me, "My touch doesn't pain you, love.." he whispered, but I moved away from him. 

"You're wrong. Your touch hurts the most."
