"Hi! I see you're new, mind if I sit here?" The boy asks with his lunch tray in hand. Jungkook eyes him up and down warily before slowly nodding, swallowing the bite of his sandwich.

"Do I really have to go, mom?" A quiet question comes out of Jungkook's mouth.

"I know it's a new school, hon, and I know you have trouble making friends, but this is a good school. You have a chance to start over! The kids at your last school weren't that nice, so we're hoping the people here will be. That school tour looked nice, hm?"

"I-I guess so," he mumbles, looking down at the ground while his mom fixes the tie on his school uniform.

"You're ready to go, got your lunch?"

He nods and holds it up for his mom to see, making her nod back and pat his shoulder.

"Alright, it's time to start walking. You're gonna do great and I love you. Text me if anyone bothers you," she says protectively. Jungkook giggles and nods, pushing through his anxiety and heading out the door.

It won't be that bad, right? Right.

Wrong.

The minute he gets inside he eyes the teenagers laughing and walking around. He grasps his lunch so hard his knuckles turn white. Poor, shy Jungkook cannot handle this much change in such a short amount of time. He whimpers softly and looks around with a worried look plastered on his face.

Because of the tour he took around the school, he knows where to go for his first class. He feels grateful he stayed for an extra amount of time to learn his route around the place, and that includes bathrooms and the library. Which are places he can go to in order to calm down.

But for now, since it's almost time for his first class, he'll head there.

Two classes later, his first two going great, it's time for lunch. He contemplates going to the bathroom or the library to eat there, but he figures the cafeteria is worth a shot at least once.

He sits his lunch down at an empty table and pulls pulls out his ham sandwich, which his mom knows it's his favorite. He smiles slightly and takes a bite, enjoying the empty space around him.

That is, until someone walks up to his table.

His heart pounds a mile a minute when he looks up to see a strange boy with black hair and chocolate eyes. He's smiling while holding his lunch tray, getting ready to say something.

"Hi! I see you're new, mind if I sit here?" The boy cheerfully asks with his lunch tray in hand. Jungkook eyes him up and down warily before slowly nodding, swallowing the bite of his sandwich. He happily sets his lunch tray down and starts eating, then suddenly remembers he hasn't introduced himself.

"Oh!" He exclaims, startling the other, "sorry, I'm Taehyung. It's nice to meet you."

"Jungkook, nice to meet you too," he says, taking another bite of his sandwich.

"Can I see your schedule?" He asks, holding his hand out. The younger nods, giving the paper slip to him.

"We have next period together! Do you want me to walk with you?"
