Homophobic High - VKOOK FF

Chapter 5

"Oh my god, Taehyung are you alright?" 

Taehyung startles out of his depressing thoughts and glances over at the approaching blond-haired boy. Jimin had only seen a glimpse of what occurred through the massive crowd, but after recognising the familiar face, the blond had rushed to the aid of his friend.

Taehyung forces out a weak smile, "m'fine."

Jimin frowns while running his eyes down Taehyung's small frame. "Are you hurt?"

Taehyung lies, shaking his head no, despite the obvious pain raging through his body. 

Jimin looks over at the boy sympathetically. "Come on, Tae, let's go grab a bite. Since you're new, I reckon there are a few things I should tell you 'bout this place."

The cafeteria, just like the rest of the school, is magnified out of proportion. The space is monstrously large, definitely capable of fitting way more than the entirety of the school. Taehyung tries not to gape as Jimin drags him to a nearby table. 

It's only when Taehyung arrives at the table that he notices the unfamiliar faces sitting casually on the seats. Jimin smiles at the group of boys before pointing to Taehyung. "Guy's, this is Taehyung, he's new. Taehyung, meet Seokjin, Namjoon and Hoseok."

Jimin points to a brunette, then a boy with silver hair and sophisticated glasses and then finally a boy with blond highlights and a beaming smile. Taehyung waves at them shyly, causing them to smile warmly at him. 

Taehyung turns to Hoseok, nervously fiddling with his finger before asking, "U-um I was just wondering but, did you recently change your timetable?"

Hoseok stares at the boy with wide eyes, "yes, how-how did you know that?"

"You were supposed to be my partner for this bible studies assignment, but apparently you switched timetables so I went with someone else." 

Hoseok smiles brightly, "ohh, is that right."

Chatter starts flowing between the boys effortlessly and Taehyung decides that he like these boys. Not once did they call him gay or say anything homophobic. They seem fun. 

Suddenly Jimin spins around on his chair and directly faces Taehyung, startling the boy. "Oh, yeah, by the way, Tae, watch out for those boy's earlier. You don't want to mess with them."

Taehyung shifts uncomfortably at the mention of that group. 

"They are known to pick on people, and if you are one of their poor victims, then it's game over for you." Jimin continues with a serious expression. "They are brutal, don't try to get their attention, Tae."

Taehyung nods slowly, acknowledging Jimin's words which don't serve as reassurance but instead just plays with his bottling anxiety.  Try get their attention? Well, it seems like I already have it. 

"And..." Jimin speaks in a lower tone this time, something about his ominous voice sends chills down Taehyung's back. 

"Never, ever, mess with Jeon Jungkook. The rest are bad, but Jungkook? He's the spawn of satan."

Taehyung shivers, "w-why, what did he do?"

"He's horrible Taehyung, you gotta understand. Once, he locked this boy in a bathroom and put up a sign saying the bathroom was out of order. The boy managed to get out four days later because some teacher heard his screams. The boy had to go to the hospital and to this day, he still goes to therapy sessions because of the trauma from that event."
