|Jimin's POV|

"Thank you, bye!" I exclaimed cheerfully leaving my home after eating breakfast that my auntie made me, she was a sweet woman, caring like a mother. Even though she couldn't have kids of her own, and I also loved her like my mother.

Jihyun (my younger brother) followed quickly behind me as I had to hurry him to get ready for school, it was usual for him to be running late. Unlike me, he had friends to talk to throughout the whole night. Yet even if I might seem like I'm lonely, I'd rather have it that way than deal with the trouble of finding real friends who don't talk behind your back.

As per usual we visited the nearby café where I ordered an iced coffee and my brother got himself ice tea. The bleached haired girl handed me the ordered drinks with a usual smile that she greets me with. "Here's your usual, have a good day, Jimin."

At school mine and Jihyun's ways parted as he would go meet his friends and I would go straight to my class where I would sit at the end, waiting for it to start. Weirdly enough not many people realise that me and Jihyun are brothers, mostly because we barely see each other throughout the school day. He offered that i should sit with him and his friends, but I declined saying that I'd feel too awkward there, so he just smiled at me and didn't bother asking me again as he knew I would decline every time.

I sighed as I laid my bag on top of my desk and sat down on my chair. Taking out the most basic essentials, like a pencil and pen before putting my bag aside and staring out the window until the lessons begun. That's how I would usually spend my mornings, it wasn't as bad as some might think, I can just drift off and daydream until the bell slaps me back into reality, at least that's how usually I get back into reality..

"Jimin, hello." I jumped a little at the sudden sound of someone's voice, my eyes wandered up to see who was disturbing my peace. I looked up at the guy, very visibly wary of what he may want.

"Hi.." I mumbled out of politeness. Even if I need to keep my guard up, it doesn't mean I can't reply to him. I know some people who might be like me, ignore others but I wasn't raised to act rude like that.

"I was passing by and saw through the door that you're in here by yourself, so I thought you wouldn't mind some company." Jungkook explained but I wasn't buying it, never in my whole time being here has there been someone who was 'concerned' about me being lonely. I furrowed my eyebrows trying to work out the truth behind his actions.

"No thank you. I like being alone." Declining his offer I hoped for him to just walk away like any other person would, but instead the guy sat at the table beside mine. I watched closely as he unpacked his belongings without a word. "Don't you have friends that are waiting for you?" I questioned hoping that maybe that way he'd leave. Once again I was wrong.

"Ah, no.. Me and them usually come running late but this morning I managed to wake up early enough." I couldn't help but feel more and more uncomfortable while being around Jungkook. I couldn't put my finger on it but all this kindness seemed fake. I don't know what he is trying to achieve but whatever it is, I'm not letting him get close to me.

"Are you new in this school or something because-"

"Because normally, others only speak to you to make fun of you?" Taken aback by his words I froze for a second before nodding lightly. "Well, I'm not  like the others. I know that's the most cliché thing to say but believe me, I couldn't care less who is who, there is no reason for me to bully them." He continued, carefully choosing his words as he spoke, yet I couldn't help but feel agitated by the things Jungkook said.

"You're right," I nodded, furrowing my eyebrows while looking at him. "It's so cliché that it makes me sick." My reply seemed to shock the guy who was seemingly being nice to me.

"Uhm... I-I'm sorry but I think you misunderstood my intentions." Wanting to reply to him with irony I had to bite my own tongue to keep my mouth shut. I rarely loose my cool when it comes to people who bother me and I didn't want this to be the first time that was different. "What I wanted to say is; that I wanted to get to know you a little. I mean, everyone always talks shit about you but I refuse to believe what others say about people without hearing both sides of the story."

"So what you mean is that the only reason you want to speak to me is to prove others are wrong about the things they say?" I questioned rising an eyebrow.

"Well, yeah you could say th-"

"But what if what they say is true? What if I'm that rotten, lonely kid who nobody likes because of his past?" Staring right at Jungkook (and him back at me) I clench my fists.

"Well then you could say I judged you wrongly, but also you don't look like the kind of guy." Looking away I didn't reply to him. There wasn't much point, he wouldn't leave anyway, so I came to the conclusion that I should ignore him and maybe then he'll give up, but there was one thing that kept on my mind..

"Not that kind of a guy, huh?.." I mumbled to myself as I rested my chin on my hand.
