An Outcast In The City Of Alphas

Taehyung's Point of View

I walked past the lockers in school looking for a certain blonde.

"There he is!" I whispered to myself as I spotted him walked towards one of the classes. "Jimin!"

He turned around with a confused face which immediately became a frown.

"Is everything alright?" I asked, stopping in front of him and tilting my head to look at him.

"Why didn't you tell me, Tae? I thought we were friends..." Jimin said before turning his back to me but I was quick to stop him.

"What do you mean?"

"You're transferring to another school?" Jimin raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed.

"I am?" I blinked.

"My mum told me. Your mum told her that she got a job at another state somewhere and you'll be leaving this month."

I looked at him blankly. Then I remembered my mum attending a job interview last week. Oh, shit.

"I had no idea, I-" I said slowly, trying to gain back my senses when the school bell rang.

"See you at lunch," Jimin walked away.

I turned around myself to make it to my first class. How come mum didn't tell me about this? Does this mean... Jimin and I wont be spending time together like we always do? What school am I even transferring to? Will I be able to find someone like my best friend there?

"Kim Taehyung?!"

I looked ahead and saw my math teacher looking at me sternly with her hands crossed. "Come up and solve this, please," she pointed to a sum on the whiteboard.

Third Person's Point of View

Soon it was lunch time and Taehyung couldn't wait any longer to go back home and have a talk with his mother. There was so many questions bottled up in his head and he thought it might explode.

He sat at an empty table waiting for Jimin and stared at his food, not really hungry. Moments later, he looked up to see Jimin plop onto the seat across him emotionlessly and lay his lunch on the table.

"Jimin," he began, making Jimin look at him, waiting for him to continue. "I didn't know. My mum never told me".

"I guessed it right then," Jimin sighed. "Tae, what are we gonna do? We're gonna be separated! And you're the only one I talk to here. You're my only friend and we're best friends, and-"

"Yes, Jimin, calm down," Taehyung interrupted him. He took that as his cue to bite onto his PBJ. "I'll have a talk with mum after school and let's see what we can do."

Jimin shook his head, mouth full. "Tae, it's your mum's job. There's no way she's gonna let that slide. You're leaving." Taehyung found his PBJ coated mouth adorable.

Taehyung sighs as he knows Jimin maybe right. His single mother was looking for jobs since forever and when she got through the interview she attended last week, it made her cry in happiness. His mother really need that job.

"Why aren't you eating?" Jimin interrupted his thoughts.

"I'm not really hungry. There's no time left anyway," he slid his arm across the table, pushing his lunch tray towards the edge until all of it was in a mess on the floor.

Jimin looked at him, mouth agape which still had munched PBJ, eyes looking back and forth from Taehyung and the mess he made. "Are you okay, Tae?"

"I'm alright. Just a bit stressed." At this point all eyes in the cafeteria were on them. Taehyung got up with his bag. "I'm going home."

"But we have four more classes," Jimin frowned.

"I know, but I just want to go home already. See you after school," with that, Taehyung left.

The walk home made Taehyung more and more impatient. He just wanted to shift back into his wolf form and run but he's afraid of poachers.

Should I really ask mum about this, he thought. What am going to ask her anyway? She won't ever change her plans. He sighed.

When he got home, he walked the stairs silently, praying his mother won't hear him. He heard the distinct humming coming from the kitchen as he made his way to his room and closed the door behind him. He let out a sigh of relief when suddenly he heard,

"Taehyung?" His mother called him. And then it was silent again. He prayed that his mum shouldn't find him. He has no mood to answer her questions right now.

He laid on his bed and soon he was drifting to dreamland.
