Chapter 2
"Do you know who that guy is?" Jimin asked Taehyung as he was trying to patch Taehyung up. Taehyung didn't know if he was actually supposed to answer his question or not. In order to be safe, he just shook his head.
"Who is he?" Taehyung asked, obviously lying.
"He's Kim Namjoon. The one behind him was the rest of his gang. He's kind of a big delinquent here in school, but its said that he's got good grades, which is very weird since he is a delinquent. Well, you can say he broke that stereotype. I got shivers when I saw him show up because I thought for sure he was coming for us, but great thanks that he saved us from that guy," Jimin explained.
Taehyung was just quietly listening to Jimin and taking in the information. So hyung's a dangerous guy, huh? "Ahh! I can't do this, no matter what I do, I'm just not good at first aid," Jimin complained and pouted.
Taehyung laughed. "I told you it was fine, it doesn't really hurt that bad." Taehyung got up and he felt a sharp pain down his stomach and crouched down. Jimin smacked him at the back of his head. "Pabo, we should've just gone to the infirmary, but you were being stubborn. You've got no choice, but to go to the infirmary now." Jimin helped Taehyung up and placed Taehyung's arm around his shoulder.
Once the two boys arrived at the infirmary, Taehyung was put to medical attention by the school's kind doctor. "Oh dear, what happened to this young man?" The lady helped Jimin and they placed Taehyung down on the bed.
"Well, he got into a fight, Jihyo-ssi. Can you help him?" Jimin asked. Jihyo looked at Jimin as if saying 'who do you think I am?' Jimin laughed awkwardly. "Of course you can help him."
Jihyo turned to Taehyung and smiled. "Are you a transfer here? What's your name?" Taehyung nodded. "I'm Taehyung."
"You're really quiet aren't you? Getting into a fight in your first day at school isn't really the best impression that you will get of the school or people will be getting of you." Jihyo wiped Taehyung's open wounds with alcohol patches making Taehyung hiss in pain. Jihyo placed bandages on his wounds. "Are you still hurting anywhere else?" Jihyo asked. "Uhm... my stomach." Jihyo gestured for Taehyung to open up his shirt, so he unbuttoned it. "Oh my, what big bruises. For now, I think you have to rest up. I'll give you some hot compress. Jimin you should go back to class and can check up on Taehyung later."
"Uhm, Jihyo-ssi, I don't really need to stay here. If not I'll miss classes, I have a lot to catch up on, so ple---"
"No can do. I can't let a student out without efficiently treating him," Jihyo said seriously.
"Taehyung it's alright, I'll go take some notes for you. Jihyo-ssi won't let you off of the hook easily, so you should just get some rest for awhile, I'll get going now." Jimin waved and ran out of the infirmary.
Jihyo got a jar and poured hot water in it. She gave it to Taehyung reminding him to be careful since the jar was hot. "Alright, I'll just have my break, I'll get back to you in awhile," Jihyo said and walked out of the infirmary, leaving Taehyung all alone. He just sighed and lied down, placing the jar gently on his stomach.
Taehyung just looked at the ceiling and wondered about life. He wondered if living this life would still be worth it even thought his parents are already gone. He loved his parents dearly and he just can't get over that fact. Why did it have to happen to me? Taehyung was so tempted to cry, but he thinks that he's used up his tears enough last night. He just tried to fall asleep in order to make up for the rest he missed last night.
Just as Taehyung fell asleep, Namjoon walked inside the infirmary, and sat down beside Taehyung carefully. I ended up caring for this brat even though I told him not to talk to me or even so much as look at me. Namjoon thought and shook his head, not really approving much of his good willed nature.
Namjoon was startled when he heard Taehyung making sounds. He was asleep, but he looked like he was having a nightmare. Suddenly, he saw Taehyung cry, making him surprised. "Eomma... Appa... don't leave.... please," Taehyung uttered. Namjoon didn't know what to do. He just stared at Taehyung for a moment, who was still crying. He made the notion to wipe Taehyung's tears, and strangely Taehyung calmed down.
Namjoon heard footsteps and immediately walked away from Taehyung's bed and walked around to try and act normal. Jihyo walked inside and saw Namjoon.
"Oh, Namjoon, what are you doing here?" Jihyo asked as she sat back down on her desk. "Did you come and see Taehyung? Don't tell me you were the one who beat him up?" Jihyo turned her seat around to face Namjoon, and raised her eyebrow.
"What, no, I didn't beat him up." Namjoon furrowed his eyebrows. "If one, I was even the one who saved him."
"Hm... Well that's good, because if you did beat him up, I won't forgive you any time soon. He's our brother now, so we should take care of him," Jihyo said. Namjoon looked at Jihyo with a look saying 'how'd you know?' "Mom told me. How's mom and dad anyway? I haven't gone home in like a year."
"That's because you're too busy living in with your boyfriend. You know he's not the best example for you. Out of all the people I thought you'd know that."
Jihyo glared at him. "Hey watch your mouth."
"Whatever, if he does something to you, don't come crying home."
"How heartless. And you know well that I can beat him up any time I'd want so that won't really be a problem for you." Jihyo stuck her tongue out. "So who's the kid that beat him up?"
"You know you can't beat him up, you're the school doctor."
"Well, you'll just have to protect Taehyung when I can't." Jihyo smiled.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm going to class," Namjoon said. Before he walked out of the infirmary, he looked back at Taehyung and just sighed and shook his head.
