Third person's POV

"... so, welcome to hell, Jimin." Namjoon uttered with a sad eyes, matched with an obviously fake smile painted on his face. As Jimin saw his expression, he starts to get worried, and Namjoon noticed it.

"But don't worry, I'll try to help you dealing with it. You've been bullying me for so long, and i'm immuned already. I don't usually care about your verbal abuse against me, except the bruises that I get." Namjoon said, laughing at the end of his sentence with assurance and held Jimin's hand. Jimin felt glee for a moment for he'll still has a peer to be with.

"Uhm, for that, i'm sorry if i've been bullying you. I'm sorry if i just stood and watch you being bullied. I'm sorry if i--" Jimin said between sobs. Namjoon just hugged him, letting him feel that he's not angry at him or anything.

"Jim, it's okay. Past is in past. I didn't held grudge on you, even in Yoongi, Jungkook, and more. I knew I'll never avoid those kind of people when I chose to be like this." As Namjoon said those words, Yoongi and Jungkook arrived in the classroom.

"Oh, the aliens are here. Or lemme say, the new lovey-doveys. How'd you been together?" Jungkook said with such irritating voice. Yoongi just glared at them.

"Oh, the fucking homophobic peasants, how are you?" Jimin replied as he stood up from his chair. Namjoon held his shoulder, trying to convince not engage with them., but that didn't stop him. After being shooed away because of his gender, he won't let them hurt him again and fight for himself.

"Uhm, I'm fine without your presence, dear. I'm having a fresh air to breathe, except right now. Something stinks in here!" Jungkook mocked, covering his nose. On that point, Jimin, as a sensitive person, had his anger.

"Ah, it stinks huh? Well, i think you'll like this." Jimin said, aimed a punch to his cheek. Jungkook fought back, and Yoongi joined the fight as well. Namjoon tried his best to fight, but he got injured. Jungkook held Jimin, who is already weak, by his armpits. Yoongi faced the blackeyed boy, glared at him.

"Do you think you're already that strong to fight us? No. Maybe that's also the reason why you never touched Namjoon since we started bullying him." Yoongi told him, while holding Jimin's chin.

"I really thought that the reason you're close to me is because you trust me well and had good intentions. But loving me? You've chosen a wrong road, Jimin." Yoongi said, making a fist. He then threw a punch at his stomach. "That one is for betraying us," and he threw an uppercut, "and that one is for loving me. Fucking faggot." Yoongi cursed.

Namjoon can't help, but only look at them. His leg hurts a lot that he even can't stand up.

What they don't know is that, their classmates are already outside of their classroom, just looking at them fighting. They didn't bother to stop Jungkook and Yoongi. This two are this powerful that their classmates fear to stop them from what they're doing.

Jungkook released Jimin, who is really weak, and almost passed out.

As Professor Jin saw the crowd outside his temporary classroom getting inside, he ran as fast as he could."Excuse me, student, what's happeni--" he stopped from what he's speaking when he saw Namjoon and Jimin in the floor, lying down and almost not moving. Some students helped them.

"What the fuck happened in here, class? Who the fuck made a mess?" Jin yelled, releasing his anger.

The students tried not to tell, but as the professor asked again, showing his demons inside that scared them, they told him.

He called the two in the principal's office, giving them a week suspension. Usually, the principal would only give them a detention for they are rich enough to pay for the compensation and since Jimin is the principal's favorite student, he lets go of the problem easily.

...

Days have passed, and Jimin is still struggling with dealing his new environment- well, he didn't transferred school, but his old peers changed the way they're interacting with him. He's getting bullied just like Namjoon, and his mental health is affected as well. Namjoon, too, is struggling on how to uplift Jimin's mood everytime he's feeling down again.

15:50

Jimin didn't showed up in the university for days, and Namjoon had been worrying about him. So, he went to the faculty room and find Seokjin.

He saw the professor, sitting on his chair, focused on his worksheet. He went to him.

"Uhm, sir, could I ask for Jimin's contact or address?" Namjoon asked with an obvious worry on his tone.

"Can I come with you?" Seokjin asked. Namjoon hasn't told him yet that he'll go to Jimin, but the professor sensed the student's intention. He immediately grabbed his belongings and told namjoon to follow him.

They first went to Jin's house to get his car. As they both walked in the streets, the tension between them is just as awkward as parallel lines. They didn't talk that much, except asking Namjoon why he wants to go to Jimin's residence. Their hands are bumping to each other as they sway their hands when walking. Namjoon felt the static and the chills on his hands, despite of the summer season. He's just beside with his long-time crush, but he didn't know how to keep talking with him.

As they arrived on the two-storey blue house, Seokjin opened the gates and went straight to the garage. By removing the car's coat, his white Lamborghini is revealed. Namjoon got jealous on why he still doesn't have a car. But he suddenly remembered he was clumsy as fuck and he was kicked out.

"Namjoon, get in." the professor said in a serious tone, patting the front seat. The younger then realized he was stunned.
