it was 7am and taehyung's alarm woke him up abruptly.

he groaned and rolled out of bed and onto the floor, staring at the ceiling.

he was contemplating whether he really wanted to go to school or if it was just his mother's constant pep talking that tricked his brain into thinking he was excited.

speaking of who, she walked in to make sure her son was awake and was met with the sight of the previously mentioned son laying down, back against the floor.

she sighed and rolled her eyes, "taehyung, descendre du sol et prendre une douche."

[trans: get off of the floor and get in the shower.]

taehyung groaned again, "dois-je?"

[trans: do i have to?]

"oui chérie." she said, kneeling down to stroke his hair comfortingly before holding his hands to pull him up from the ground.

[trans: yes honey.]

she caressed his cheek lightly and smiled at him reassuringly, "ça ira."

[trans: you'll be fine.]

he nodded, "j'espère."

[trans: hopefully.]

she kissed his cheeks and he did the same to her. then she gave him one last smile before leaving him to get ready for school.

he sighed and mumbled, "faisons cette merde."

[trans: let's do this shit.]

having said that, he layed out his outfit, took a towel into the bathroom and then got into the shower.

once he was done, he got dressed, brushed his hair and then pulled a beret onto his head.

he looked in the mirror and gave a little nod of self-approval.

once he was done making sure he looked good (even though it's impossible for him to look bad) he walked downstairs and was met with mother spreading butter on his toast.

he sat down at the island and she placed the plate in front of him and he immediately began to eat, worried that he'd be late on his first day.

when he was done she took his plate and put it in his dishwasher. she followed him to the door as he slung his bag onto his back.

"have a good day." she said, in english.

"i will?" he said, more as a question.

"good." she chuckled, patting his head.

"goodbye now." he said, kissing her cheek once more before opening the door and walking out.

"goodbye!" she waved him off.

he waved back before walking out of the gate, leaving his new house by himself for the first time.

thankfully, he remembered how to get to the school otherwise that'd be the first major failure of the day.

he was lucky it wasn't that far since he didn't want his mother to drive him and he didn't feel like taking a bus.

as he walked, he admired how different the scenery was in comparison to the area he lived in, back in france.

about fifteen minutes later, he could see a school bus stopping in front of a large building and a bunch of kids his age walking in the same direction.

well, this was it.

he took a deep breath, put on his confident face and walked straight up the stone staircase and into the school doors.

as soon as he entered he could feel the eyes on him.

"who the hell is that?"

"i don't know but he's fine as fuck."

"new kid alert."

"it's like two months into the school year, why's he here?"

"ha, he looks so lost."

"new kid incoming. and he's hot."

"oh, so that's the new kid everyone was talking about, huh?"

taehyung heard all of the countless mumbles and he understood about 40% of it. the phrase he kept on hearing was "new kid" which he actually did understand.

he rolled his eyes at his freshly given label of "the new kid" before continuing to walk to what looked like, and what he hoped was, the reception.

there was no one at the counter so he walked straight up to talk to the woman who was behind it.

"h-hello?"

"hello dear, what can i do for you?" the woman said, she seemed kind.

"i- uh... i'm new." he stated.

it took her a minute to connect the puzzle pieces, those pieces being his foreign accent and the fact that he was new, before she finally realised, "ah! you're the student from france? right?"

all taehyung heard were the words "student" and "france" so he nodded.

"alright, wait here." she said, holding her hand up to him to tell him to stay, before walking away.

he rolled his eyes and mumbled under his breath, "je ne suis pas un chien."

[trans: i'm not a dog.]

when the woman came back, she had a few sheets of paper, a locker key and another boy following behind her.

she handed the papers to the him first, "this is your schedule, your locker number and everything else you'll need," and then she handed him the key, "and this is your locker key."

taehyung just nodded slowly.

then the woman signaled for the boy behind her to go out and meet him, which he did.

"hello! my name is seokjin, what is your name?" seokjin spoke clearly and word-by-word but not in a teasing or patronising way. taehyung appreciated that.

"hello, my name taehyung." he said with a smile.

"parlez-vous bien anglais?" seokjin asked him.

[trans: do you speak english well?]

"uhh, not? no." taehyung answered.

(a/n: yes, that was a reference to their ellen interview.)

jin chuckled, "c'est bon. je ne suis pas si bon en français."

[trans: that's okay. i'm not that good at french.]

taehyung smiled, "you not that bad."

"thank you." jin said.

then, jin motioned for him to follow him so he did. they began to walk down the corridor.

"i am your guide. okay?" seokjin said, making sure he understood.

taehyung nodded, "teacher?"

"sort of. i'll help you around the school." seokjin added.

"ah, i get it." taehyung assured.

"good. i'm class president so it's my job to help you. okay?" he said.

taehyung nodded slowly.

"alright..." seokjin trailed off, he needed to explain how the day was set out which was going to be difficult. suddenly he got an idea.

he pointed at the paper in taehyung's hand, "can i have that please?"

"yes." taehyung said, handing it to him.

"cool, follow me." he said.

five minutes later,

the two boys arrived at the library. seokjin sat in front of a computer and opened two new tabs. on one tab, he got up google translate and, on the other tab, he got up microsoft word.

he looked up to taehyung and pulled out a chair for him, "sit here, next to me. okay?"

taehyung nodded and sat in the chair, patiently watching what seokjin was doing.

he looked at taehyung's schedule and began to type the english words into google translate. then he pasted the french words into the new word document. he continued this until he had the full schedule but in french. then he sent it to the printer.

"wait here. i'll be back." he said before getting up and walking to the other side of the room.

taehyung took this opportunity to look around. the library was giant and the computers were all mac. he knew his mother sent him to a good school but he didn't realise how good until he actually got inside.

then, seokjin came back and handed him a paper.

"this is your schedual. it tells you where you need to be at certain times. okay?" jin said.

taehyung skimmed over the paper, finally understanding what the fuck a schedule was. "ah, i get it. thank you."

jin smiled and sighed in relief, "okay so, right now, classes haven't started yet. it's morning time. during morning time, students can sit in the cafeteria, library or the hallways until class starts."

taehyung nodded, reading over the little explanation seokjin had left for him at the bottom, following along with what he was saying.

once he was done reading, seokjin tapped his shoulder and pointed at the clock, "class is starting in five minutes so let's go. follow me."

taehyung followed closely behind him until they reached a math classroom.

"this is your class. i'll come and pick you up when it's over, alrght?" he assured him.

taehyung nodded with a smile, "you're nice."

jin smiled back at him, "thank you, so are you. i have to go now, i'll come and get you in an hour."

taehyung nodded and air kissed the side of seokjin's face as a goodbye. seokjin thought nothing of it and did the same before waving him off and letting him go into class.

as soon as taehyung set foot inside, it went silent and all eyes were on him.

the teacher looked to him and smiled, "oh yes, i forgot to mention. this is our new student. please, introduce yourself to the class."

"my introduce?" he asked and a few people in the class giggled slightly, whether it was done teasingly or endearingly varied.

"yes, your introduce." the teacher encouraged.

"uh, hi my name's taehyung... i'm done." he said before going to the back and sitting down.

once he sat down, whispers arrupted and glances were thrown in his direction.

"he can barely speak english, mate."

"he's so cute."

"where's he from?"

"is it okay that i want him to choke me already?"

"i don't get why everyone's so excited. he's probably just another weird kid."

the teacher slapped her ruler on her desk, "quiet down! now, everyone look to the board. today we'll be discussing..."

at that point, taehyung tuned her out and just started forward so it looked like he was learning something.

~time skip~

once class ended, taehyung immediately walked out and, just as he said, seokjin was there waiting for him with a smile.

"how was your first lesson?" seokjin asked kindly.

"uh... it was tired." taehyung answered.

"boring?" seokjin corrected.

"yeah, that's the word." taehyung smiled.

jin giggled, "okay, we have another class and then after that it'll be break time."

"what we do in break?" taehyung questioned.

jin smiled again, "that's when i'll introduce you to all my friends."

...and god knows where that leads in the long run.
