Taehyung tries to take a deep breath and calms himself down a little. He looks at the pink haired boy who is standing beside him. He has a blank expression on his face. He doesn't look scared like everyone else in the hall. It seems like he is just watching some drama.

"Are you going to tell us or not?" The tallest guy thunders.

"I-In t-the chan-changing room." Jong In manages to say and Jungkook, the guy who held his collar, releases him dropping him on the floor.

"Yah Lee Taemin! I'm counting till three. Get your ass here you motherfucker before I kick the shit out of you." Jungkook yells again and a guy walks out of the changing room. He looks rather scared.

The three boys storm towards him and the tallest guy punches Taemin in the face. Taemin stumbles back due to the impact of the punch.

"What's wrong? W-what did I do to you?" Taemin shouts. Jungkook harshly grabs his collar and punches him again after saying, "What's with this video, huh?"

"Hoseok hyung, show this fucker so that he can recall." The guy who is supposedly Hoseok nods and shows the video to Taemin who looks shocked after seeing it. He doesn't say anything and Jungkook keeps punching him.

Taehyung is in a state of utter shock. He looks at the pink haired boy beside him and notices a tear rolling down his cheek. The latter sees Taehyung and quickly wipes his tear. He then walks over the boys who are fighting and says in a low voice, "Stop it, Jungkook." The boy who is still beating Taemin does not listen.

"You two should stop him before he kills him." He says to the other two boys but they just ignore him.

"STOP IT!" The pink haired boy shouts and Jungkook suddenly stops looking at him.

"Stop creating a scene. I know you guys love terrorizing people but just stop it. Do it elsewhere." The pink haired boy yells at the three boys and everyone looks at him shocked probably because he did something nobody has courage to do. He then turns to Taemin, "And you... you fucking deserve every single punch you got. I wish I didn't stop Jungkook. But unlike you, I have a heart."

Everyone looks at the pink haired boy in shock. Taehyung cannot make sense of the situation. He is sweating. He is scared. He hates violence. His body starts shaking as he hears a lot of people yelling in the background. He suddenly cannot breathe. He knows he's going to faint soon and before he can think of anything, he falls into darkness.

                                  ☆

When Taehyung opens his eyes, he realizes that he is lying on a bed. Where am I? He wonders and looks around to see green curtains on three sides. The small window behind him shows the tennis court of the university. He is in the infirmary of the college, he realizes.

Today is my first day at college and I fainted in front of so many people. Great! Just great.

Taehyung sits up, annoyed at how bad his day went so far. He slowly moves the curtains away and looks at the nurse.

"E-Excuse me?" He calls out and the nurse's face snaps in his direction.

"Oh dear, finally you're up. How are you feeling?" She asks him as she walks closer to his bed.

"I'm fine... I think." He says nervously looking down.

"Why did you suddenly faint?" She asks.

"I..." he tries to think of a believable excuse, "I didn't eat anything... since yesterday afternoon so..."

The nurse looks at him suspiciously. "You were sweating when they brought you here. Are you sure it's not because of some medical condition?"

"Uh..." Taehyung doesn't know what to say so the nurse speaks up instead, "If its something like that, just inform me so I would know if something like this happens again."

Taehyung nods quietly. He doesn't want people to know about his condition just yet. So he changes the topic, "You s-said they brought me here? Who are they?"

"Oh just Park Jimin and Jung Hoseok. They brought you here in time so you should thank them." The nurse says casually. Taehyung suddenly feels thankful towards the two strangers who helped him get out of that disaster of a situation.

"Yes, I will. Thank you." He says to the nurse and decides to go to his class now. He has already missed three classes because he was unconscious. He didn't want to waste the other two.

The next class is music. Taehyung's major is music. He really wants to be a songwriter and music producer one day.

He enters the class. Thankfully the teacher isn't there but most students have already arrived. Although not all the benches are occupied, Taehyung just wants to sit in a less crowded area. He looks around to find a vacant seat and sees a seat next to a boy who is sitting alone on the long bench which can have at least four people. He nervously walks towards him and takes a deep breath before speaking, "Hey! I'm Kim Taehyung."

The boy smiles at him and introduces himself, "I'm Baekhyun. Nice to meet you."

Finally I saw someone who seems normal. Taehyung thinks to himself.

"Is this seat vacant?" He asks and Baekhyun looks at him with apologetic eyes, "I actually reserved this seat for my girlfriend. But you can still sit here. This bench is long enough."

"No, it's okay. I don't want to intervene, you know." Taehyung says and smiles a little. He doesn't want to be a third wheel here. Baekhyun looks around the class and tells him, "That seat is vacant too." He says pointing to a seat in the other row. It's at the back of the class. Taehyung nods and walks towards it.

He sits down and places his bag next to him. A few female students sit in front of him and keep staring at him.

Why are they staring? Don't their necks hurt?

He keeps looking down when someone says, "Keep your bag on the other side please." He turns around to see the pink haired boy who he had seen earlier in the locker room, standing in front of him.

"Of course." Taehyung says and immediately removes his bag. The pink haired boy sits down next to him and stares in front. The professor enters the class and over the next half an hour, he tells them what all they are supposed to do throughout the semester. He gives a few more instructions and everyone seems bored.

Taehyung glances at the pink haired boy who is looking outside the window at nothing in particular. Taehyung wonders how courageous the boy sitting next to him is. He not only stopped the three furious guys from fighting in the locker room earlier but also yelled at them. Taehyung had heard people murmuring about how dangerous the three boys are and why people try to maintain a safe distance from them. Taehyung has huge respect for the boy sitting next to him. But he also wonders why the boy was crying before he stopped the fight. Was something wrong? What was the video that the Hoseok guy showed to Taemin? Several questions flood Taehyung's mind all at once. He is curious. But he also knows that curiosity kills the cat and he decides he'd rather not get involved in someone else's shit.

He can't help but think about those guys though and that's when he remembers that someone named Park Jimin along with Jung Hoseok helped him reach the infirmary. Is that the same Hoseok who was in the locker room earlier? Taehyung decides to talk to the pink haired boy. After all he seems to know those three boys.

"Hey." Taehyung says softly and the other boy looks at him raising his eyebrows.

"I-I'm Kim Taehyung." He says with a small smile.

"You're the same guy who fell down on the floor right? And the guy who fainted earlier?" The boy asks and Taehyung looks down feeling embarrassed. What a nice first impression he had on this boy.

"It's okay. Don't be embarrassed. I fall down a lot myself. My hyungs make bets on how many times I'd fall in a week." The pink haired boy says with a chuckle and Taehyung looks at him with a smile.

"I'm Park Jimin, by the way." He says. Taehyung widens his eyes. He is sitting with the same guy who helped him earlier. Does it mean he helped him along with Hoseok even though he had just yelled at Hoseok and his two friends?

"You're the one who helped me, right?" Taehyung asks and Jimin just shrugs.

"T-Thank you." Taehyung says in a small voice.

"If you're thankful then do me a favor."

"W-what favor?" Taehyung suddenly gets a lot more nervous than he already was.

"I'll tell you when the time comes."
