The strip of the backpack, that seems to be a lot heavier than usual might I say, feels very rough against the big bruise that's coloring the skin right above Jungkook's collarbone. A small groan leaves the boy's pink lips as he tries to remove the strap's position on his shoulder so that it wouldn't be pressing on the injury.

After getting the call from his mother yesterday when he was at Jimin's told him already that something's going to go down when he gets home. Apparently Jungkook forgot to inform his mother where he was going after school and when Namjoon went to get him and the boy wasn't home, of course his mother got angry for skipping the chance to earn more money.

His mom was in the hall waiting with a baseball bat when he got home and you can already tell what happened afterwards. The wine glass on the table didn't go unnoticed by Jungkook, it never did. He already knows his mother has problems with alcohol, probably other intoxicants too.

"Did you hear the news?", Jungkook hears an annoying sounding bright female voice ask but doesn't bother to check who's talking, he couldn't care less. "What news?", he hears other female voice, this one being a bit lower ask. "That the country's best prosecutor is giving us a speech about life choices and wise decisions as a teenager", the same bright toned voice from earlier speaks up again with such enthusiasm.

"Really?!", Jungkook hears the lower toned voice gasp in what sounds like in excitement. Jungkook rolls his eyes at the reaction, what's so interesting in that, a boring speech that no one will even listen to. What are the girls so excited about?

"I heard he's really handsome and surprisingly young!", the annoying ass voice yells and Jungkook has the sudden urge to snap at her, to tell her to shut the fuck up because no one wants to hear her ugly ass voice.

With another roll of his eyes Jungkook keeps on trying to get through the thick sea of people and as far away from the two crazy girls as possible. "Nice ass Jeon!", the boy hears being shouted and feels a slap being placed on his bottom.

Jungkook is quick to turn around but when he does so, the one who intended the assault has already disappeared from his sight of line in the huge amount of students. Jungkook rolls his eyes once again, cursing the childish boys that attend the school in his head and continues his path towards his next class. He already feels the familiar head ache getting worse than it already was when he woke up.

How is there still this much people in the hallway when the next period is about to start in a minute?

The other thing is, Jungkook hasn't seen Jimin all day and that was extremely unusual. He just hopes the older didn't get mad when he had to leave so suddenly yesterday. With this being in mind, Jungkook makes a mental note to send Jimin a message later and ask what's up.

After realizing that he doesn't have the next subject's books with him, Jungkook makes a quick turn to the left and hurries over to his locker where hever sees any other students due to its location.

He's very surprised to notice a gray haired male who looks like is a bit older than him, crouched down to the floor and opening one of the lockers. What's going on? Jungkook thought the two other lockers that are placed near his locker aren't in use at the moment. Then why is there a student by one of them?

With furrowed eyebrows Jungkook continues his way towards the three lockers and with every step tries to recognise the boy kneeling down on the floor. What is he doing?

The boy has one of the lockers open, the one right beside Jungkook's, and it seems like he's putting something in rather hurriedly. Just when Jungkook is about to open his mouth to ask what the boy is doing there, something drops to the floor.

Jungkook's eyes widen and at the same time he hears footsteps nearing. The thing is, only some of the teachers come here time to time, because there is a school equipment storage in the corridor and the door is about three meters from Jungkook's locker.

Without having any time to think or even get a glimpse at the male's face, Jungkook acts out of reflex and runs to the suspicious looking sack of white powder. In this moment, all Jungkook can think about is that the boy is dealing something rather illegal right there in school and when a teacher could walk in any moment. Is there security cameras?

Right when Jungkook glances up at the male who's now seated a few inches away from him, the boy turns around to slam the locker shut and a woman's voice speaks up from behind Jungkook.

"Jungkook?", the voice asks and Jungkook can feel his heart start speeding. He feels like he's being choked and he doesn't know how to act in the moment. What is he even doing?!

When the unknown male nudges Jungkook to the side, the boy finally snaps out of his trans and he makes eyecontact with the older looking male for the first time. Jungkook has never seen the boy before, or at least he doesn't remember seeing him.

When the boy archers his eyebrows in a panicked way, Jungkook is confirmed that the powder in the sack isn't sand for sure.

"Jungkook?!", the same voice asks, now a bit louder, the woman thinking the said student didn't hear her voice. Jungkook turns quickly around and flashes an awkward smile at the teacher.

"Oh hey Mrs.Johnson!", he chirps up. The American woman squints his eyes a bit at Jungkook's overly excited tone and expression after seeing her and rises a brow. "What are you guys doing here? The first period has already started!", Mrs.Johnson exclaims, causing Jungkook to widen his eyes.

"Oh, really?!", he asks in pure disbelief, he's late for real this time.

"And who's this?", Mrs.Johnson asks and Jungkook notices her piercing gaze had removed from him and shifted to the boy behind him. "Oh uhm.. I'm a new exchange student, it's my second day here. This.. Jungkook here was just showing me the places here and we lost the track of time", the surprisingly deep voiced male behind Jungkook explains and causes Jungkook to cheer in his head. Thank god he was new here, otherwise they wouldn't have an explonation to the teacher.

"Okay, that explains why I didn't recognise you at first. Were you from Japan?"

"Yeah, I am", the boy answers confidently.

"Okay then, you guys get away with it this time but know that I'm disappointed at you Jungkook. You should be responsible of this exchange student being late on his second day", the woman states with a stern tone and Jungkook feels like he wants to roll his eyes for the thousandth time for today.

"Yes ma'am, we will be going to class now", Jungkook says and is about to stand up when the male behind him suddenly graps him by the waist and forces him to sit down again. "Yeah, we just have to find the rubber you dropped first, right Jungkook?", the boy asks and digs his fingers a bit too harshly in Jungkook's thin waist.

"Ah, yeah", he answers while sending a glare at the male. Mrs.Johnson only shakea her head at the two boys and starts to walk towards the equipment storage again. "See you at English class later boys", she states and disappears behind the door.

When the woman is out of sight, Jungkook hurriedly stands up and notices the sack on the floor, realizing the reason why the male didn't let him stand up when the teacher was still present. "Hi, the name's Yuta", the male says while staring at Jungkook intimately.

Jungkook gulps at the intense stare before letting out a scoff and throwing his backpack over his shoulder before walking to his locker and opening it harshly. "I don't give a fuck about your name and I do not want to know what's in that sack you have there", he answers sharply and misses the way Yuta's expression changes from intimidating to an amused one.

"Oh but Jungkook, I think you already know what's in there, there's nothing to deny", the male answers with his dark voice and continues staring at the younger boy who hurriedly takes what he needs from his locker and slams it shut.

"Don't you even try make me responsible of knowing what you are doing in school with that powder of yours! I have nothing to do with it. I just saved the situation just now because I was protecting myself from misuderstandings! If Mrs.Johnson saw what you dropped on the floor when I was standing right in front of you, she would have thought I was with you!", Jungkook shouts, the panick coming back and his heart starting to beat faster again. What has he got himself into?!

The next thing Jungkook knows is that he's being pinned down against his own locker and a pair of hands are roughly grasping at the collar of his shirt as he's face to face with the male. Yuta's eyes seem to be on fire and his jaw is clenched.

"I dare you to talk about this to anyone and you won't be talking to anyone ever again", the male spits with venom, the hold on Jungkook's clothes tightening after the words spit out of the male's mouth. Jungkook can feel his heart beat out of his chest and his throat tightening at the hold on his collar as he glances at the male's eyes, this boy is not playing around.

"I won't", is all Jungkook rasps out before he slaps the boy's hands away and starts running down the corridor while caressing the skin on his neck. He's probably more than ten minutes late from class.

-

Everything Jungkook has been able to think all day is the incident that happened in the morning with the Japanese boy. Was it really something illegal that he had been trying to hide, in school? Of all the places it had to be school and of all the students it just had to Jungkook who was there to witness everything?

Jungkook has never been one to mind other people's business but he's very aware of what his part in all of this is. If Yuta will ever get caught of dealing in school, the male won't hesitate one a bit to throw Jungkook under the bus with him. The incident and the fact that Jungkook knows about his business but doesn't report it makes him a partner in crime.

Should he tell someone? But right when this question crosses Jungkook's mind, the look in Yuta's eyes when he threatened him flashes in his eyes and the thought buries itself ten feet under. The male wasn't just making empty promises when he threatened Jungkook, he looked seriously dangerous in that moment.

Jungkook is currently sitting in the cafeteria, alone. He had texted Jimin immediately after attending his first class about eight minutes late and the older hadn't still answered. Maybe Jimin is sick, but normally he would at least inform Jungkook about it even before the school starts.

"Hey Jeon! Mind coming over? Here's a lap you could keep warm since you don't seem to have your personal body warmer with you today!", a boy shouts from a table near Jungkook's and he just shakes his head in annoyance.

"Hey Jung! Mind shutting the fuck up and minding your own business?!", Jungkook shouts back at the older and rolls his eyes.

"Oh come on baby boy, why so rude?!", Jaehyun shouts and Jungkook hears the other boys in his table start laughing. When Jungkook glances at the table full of older boys, one particular face catches his eye. The only blank face amongst the laughing ones.

Yuta.

Jungkook shifts his gaze away from the intimidating guy even though the male didn't even catch his gaze in the first place. He just didn't want that to happen if he kept staring. Besides, he has absolutely no reason to stare, so why would he?

"Cat got your tongue sweet cheeks?!", Jaehyun shouts again after a few seconds of silence and Jungkook just decides to ignore the childish boy like most of the times. Comments like this are not new to Jungkook at school and he has learned to shut them down by not answering and adding fuel to the fire. And this usually doesn't happen when Jimin is with him.

Suddenly Jungkook's phone lets out a sound as a sign that he got a new text message. He quickly graps his phone, waiting to see Jimin's name pop up on the screen but it says 'asshole' instead. Of course it's Namjoon.

1 new message from: asshole

asshole: You weren't home
yesterday when I tried to
pick you up. You free tonight?

me: Yeah, I'm free

me: also don't text me
when I'm at school

asshole: sorry babes, I'll pick you up
at seven, dress nicely and nothing
too inappropriate ;)

Jungkook rolls his eyes at the last remark. Namjoon knows Jungkook doesn't like to dress like a slut so why was that comment necessary? And where are they going if he felt the urge to point that out? Whatever, now Jungkook has no time to study for his chemistry exam like usual.

Jungkook visibly flinches when a tray slams down on the table, on the other side of the table he's sitting at. He locks his phone quickly before glancing up at who ever scared the shit out of him. "Jimin?!"

The older looks absolutely wrecked. The dark sircles under his eyes, the messy hair and the usually make up covered, now bare face tell Jungkook that everything isn't okay. Jimin glances up at the younger and flashes him a small tired smile.

"Hey Kook, sorry that I'm late and didn't inform you"

Jungkook just continues to stare before his eyes accidentally catch a glimpse of Yuta who's sitting at the other table and is apparently observing Jungkook and Jimin's conversation, event though Jungkook knows he isn't able to hear what they are saying.

When they make eyecontact, Yuta makes sure to be the first to glance elsewhere and Jungkook just shrugges it off. He just hopes the male forgets everything from this morning and doesn't get him involved in anything.

"It's okay, just.. are you okay?", Jungkook finally answers his best friend who's glancing at his food and playing with it, not looking very eager to put the stuff in his mouth. "Yeah, 'm fine. I just drank a bit too much yesterday", The older states, causing Jungkook to widen his eyes.

"You drank after I left?", he asks, not really knowing why he's so shocked of the news. Jimin is older than him but still not legal to drink. Well, who the hell is Jungkook to judge him for that? "Yes, it's not a big deal, you know I drink time to time", Jimin states, his eyebrows furrowing a bit as he stares at the younger. "True", Jungkook mutters and both of them decide to let the topic die down.

"I heard we have a special lecture after lunch", Jimin says, changing the subject smoothly. Jungkook just nods his head at the already known information. "I know right, a lecture about how to not fuck up your future or something. So boring", Jungkook groans and takes a bite of his carrot before starting to chew on it aggressively.

"Come on, it's not that bad", Jimin chuckles. "At least we get to admire a handsome prosecutor instead of Mr.Lee's ugly old face", he continues and finally gets Jungkook to let out a chuckle. "Yeah, I guess you're right", Jungkook mutters.

The reason why Jungkook doesn't want to listen to the lecture is the fact that he knows he has already fucked up his life without a choice. His grades aren't good enough to get to study medicine in college like he dreams to do and he doesn't have time to better his grades either. Not in the situation he's in right now.

The fact that the lecture will be about advices on what to do and what not to do makes Jungkook anxious. He knows he has done pretty much everything the prosecutor will tell not to do as a teenager if you want to have a great future.

Jungkook already knows he's fucked up and he doesn't need it to be rubbed in his face any more.

Lets see what happens when Jungkook meets the prosecutor ;)
