A very nervous Taehyung walks down the stairs of his house. His eyes dart in every direction looking for his mom who had promised him yesterday that she would make him breakfast before he went to the university for the first time.

"Taehyung? You're up early. I was planning to wake you up after half an hour." His mom says from the kitchen. He follows her voice and frowns a little when he sees a lot of food in the process of being prepared.

"Why are you cooking so much food, mom?" He asks. Since he came back two months ago, he realized that his parents and brother are very busy people. His parents go to work early and come back late. His brother has a different schedule for each day so he spends comparatively more time with his brother than his parents.

"Oh, it's an important day for you, sweetheart. I want all of us to have a family breakfast today." His mom says excitedly clapping her hands and Taehyung smiles a little.

"F-Family breakfast?" He asks in a happy voice, "You mean hyung and dad will be here too?" When his mom nods, he fully smiles. Since he came back, he noticed that family meals are not very regular in his family probably because everyone is so busy with their work.

"By the way Taehyung," his mom starts staring at him intently. Taehyung wonders if he did something wrong.

"Y-yes?"

"The last time I checked, your hair was black. Why is it blonde suddenly?" She asks and Taehyung wonders if his hair doesn't suit him. His mom is a very supportive woman to her husband and both her sons. But the way she just asked, did Taehyung look ugly?

"I took him to the salon with me." A male voice says as the very popular actor, Kim Seokjin, enters the kitchen.

"Why suddenly?" Their mother curiously asks.

"W-why? Do I look... u-ugly, mom?" Taehyung asks nervously. His mother and brother look at him. They feel so sorry for Taehyung. He doesn't deserve whatever he is going through. His personality has completely changed over the years. He is not at all confident about himself besides other things. Jin took Taehyung to the salon to give him a new look wondering if some changes in Taehyung's environment and schedule would help him get his old brother back. It seems like it is a difficult job right now and it would take a lot of patience.

"Of course not, son." His mother comes near Taehyung and ruffles his hair. "You look so good. I was just wondering why suddenly."

"I had to go to the salon yesterday." Jin says as he takes a bite from a piece of garlic bread, "I didn't want to go alone and Tae was alone at home too. So I thought I should take him with me and help him with some new look. After all its his first day at college today."

"You did a good job, Jin." Their father says as he takes a seat on the dining table. "Our Taehyung looks cute." Taehyung smiles at this. This is what he missed for the past six years. The life he lived for the past six years was horrible. His eyes start tearing up even at the thought of that.

"Yah Taehyungie, are you crying?" Jin says taking his younger brother in a side hug, "Don't cry. You look ugly while crying." This makes the younger force a smile at his brother. Jin smiles back and he gently pushes his brother towards the dining table and pulls a chair for him.

"Let's eat. We were shooting all night and I'm famished." The actor says flopping on the chair next to Taehyung. The family enjoys their breakfast and gives Taehyung different advice for his first day at college.

                                   ☆

"Taehyung-ah, fighting!" Jin says as he stops his car near the main gate of the college. Taehyung is very nervous and scared at the moment. It's been six years since he has seen so many people together at the same time. Will everything be okay?

"Taehyung, look at me." Jin says calmly. When his brother looks at him, he continues, "You're going to be fine. You'll have a great day today and when I'll come to pick you up later, you're going to tell me about it, okay?"

"You're going to come and pick me?" Taehyung asks like an innocent child and Jin smiles at him while feeling sad inside.

"I will. Its my little brother's first day at college and I want to know every single detail." Jin says smiling brightly and his brother just nods.

Seems like I have something to look forward for. Taehyung thinks to himself. Of course he is talking about being with Jin after the college gets over for the day. Taehyung is not a fan of being in crowd after all.

"Okay hyung, I'll go now." He says slowly unfastening his seatbelt.

"Yes, I'll see you later."

As Taehyung enters through the gate, he gets awestruck by the charms of the place. The university is really big. He can see people everywhere. Students are talking to their friends, shouting and playing. They seem to be having a lot of fun. Taehyung can't help but smile even in his nervous state.

He takes a deep breath and walks towards the administration building to receive his schedule and key of his locker. When he reaches there, he sees a woman typing something on the keyboard. Since Taehyung has always had issues initiating a conversation, he just clears his throat to get the woman's attention. She looks at him with a fake smile that she probably gives to every person out there who comes to her.

"I-I am Kim Taehyung." He says slowly, "I'm new here. Can I g-get my schedule?" He asks and the woman nods. Taehyung takes a moment to pat is shoulder mentally because he stuttered only two times. But he barely said three sentences.

"Here you go." The woman says as she passes a slip to Taehyung. It is his schedule. She then gives him and key and a map.

"You can use the map to find your way. This place looks huge but I'm sure you'll get used to it in a week." She says and smiles at him. Does she realize that a week is a rather long time?

"I hope so. Thanks." He says and gives her a tight smile. The woman nods and gets back to typing at her computer. Taehyung unfolds the map and tries looking for the way to the locker room. He exits the administration building and moves in the direction of the locker room with the help of the map in his hands.

As he walks, he looks around himself. He catches a few students, girls to be specific, staring at him. He feels awkward about it so he walks faster. He still has some time left for his first class to begin so he decides to use that time to arrange his locker. Although Taehyung is scared out of his wits, he is still a little excited for the classes because he likes the stream he has chosen and also the subjects as extra curriculars.

He soon reaches the locker room and looks at his key. It is for locker number 112. He quickly spots the locker and walks towards it but suddenly a lot of commotion starts in the hall.

"Where the fuck is Lee Taemin?" A manly voice shouts. Everyone looks at the three furious guys who just entered the locker room. Suddenly everyone starts running around probably to give that guy enough space in the crowded place. Taehyung gets pushed in the process, landing face first on the floor. His bag, locker's key and the map get scattered around him. Pain goes through his body and his vision blurs due to tears. It's not just because he fell down, its because some idiot just stepped on his hand that was on the floor. He doesn't even know who it was because many students were running around.

"Yah! Take my hand and get up." Someone says. Taehyung looks up and sees a pink haired boy. His hand is extended in the direction of the boy on the floor. Taehyung stares at the boy for a few seconds and the boy tilts his head. "You have three seconds and then I'll pull away. One... two..." Taehyung quickly holds his hand and the boy pulls him up. Taehyung stands straight and dusts off his clothes. He then collects his stuff from the floor.

"Has any of you seen Taemin?" A male voice shouts again. Taehyung looks in the direction of the voice and sees a tall boy standing at the other end of the hall. He is raven haired and has a very handsome face. He has a great physique too. Taehyung has never seen a guy as attractive as him in his life. But then again Taehyung doesn't meet or know many people.

"I'm telling you if any of you has seen that bastard, just tell us. Otherwise you will go down with him as well." Says the tallest guy who is standing next to the attractive boy. He looks pretty dangerous. Taehyung's heart beats furiously in his chest. These guys are trouble and Taehyung can sense it.

When no one utters a word, the furious, handsome guy walks over to another guy who is standing in another corner and grabs his collar. "Do you fucking not understand the language? Where the fuck is your best friend?"

"Jong In, I'd suggest you to think about yourself before your useless best friend." Says the third guy who has been quiet until now.

"I-I don't... k-know, J-Jungkook." Jong In says looking in the eyes of the guy who is holding his collar but the raven haired guy just pushes him, slamming him into the many lockers. Jong In screams in pain. Taehyung gasps. He wonders why is nobody helping Jong In. The poor guy is being bullied. Shouldn't someone report the behavior of these three boys? Why is everyone just watching?

But Taehyung can't really blame anyone because they all seem to be as scared as he is. He starts feeling unwell because of the scene in front of him. He cannot take violence and such loud voices. His past played a huge role in making Taehyung like this. He feels a little sick and he knows that if this does not stop or if he doesn't leave the room, he will either have a panic attack or he will faint. But he is too scared to even move his feet. He is scared out of his wits and since no one is doing or saying anything, he wonders if it is a good idea of walking away and so he ends up staying.
