Yoongi pulls his hood further over his head as he enters the school grounds. He moves swiftly and tries to act confident, as if he isn't new to the area, so as not to draw attention to himself. He reaches his new homeroom and lets out a sigh of relief: nothing bad has happened to him. Yet.

As he slips through the door a tall boy with pretty dimples smiles at him. "Guys, this is Yoongi. He will be joining our class from today so make him feel welcome!" Says the class rep. Turning back to Yoongi, he introduces himself as Namjoon.

Yoongi observes the new face warily.

"You can come to me if you have any questions."

"Right." Yoongi nods and, finding his desk, approaches it. A short boy with pink hair stands up in the seat next to him as he sits, causing Yoongi to flinch.

"S-sorry." The small voice says. "I-I'm Jimin. And you're Yoongi, right hyung? O-oh s-sorry can I call you h-hyung?" Yoongi shrugs as Jimin sits back down, embarrassed.

"S'nice to meet you," Yoongi mumbles, not used to holding a conversation with other people. It makes him smirk when he sees Jimin's eyes light up in response, a smile spreading across the younger boy's face. That's when Yoongi notices how pretty and plump the boy's lips are. Flustered, Yoongi looks away as the bell rings for the first period. 'Maybe it will be different here?' He hopes.

When the lunch bell goes Yoongi leaves the music block, still quietly humming 'Fix You' to himself. He shoves his hands into his hoodie and lowers his gaze, slipping through the long hallways invisibly. Until he feels someone grab his arm. Yoongi goes pale, and turns nervously to face the person, only to realise that it is Jimin. "Hyung!" He grins, wrapping his arms around Yoongi. Surprisingly Yoongi finds that he is not bothered by the boy's touch, as he is with others.

"H-hi." He stutters as Jimin leads him down the hallway and into a large, bustling hall. 'Fuck.' Yoongi's eyes widen as he tries to pull away from Jimin. Jimin looks up at him with a worried - 'but cute,' Yoongi tells himself - expression.

"Yoongi-ah are you okay? What's wrong hyung?" Jimin asks sympathetically.

"I-it's nothing Jimin-ah, let's go." Jimin isn't convinced, but as Yoongi pushes forward into the court he decides to let it slide for now. As they enter the cafeteria Yoongi tenses at the overwhelming noises. Looking down, he realises that he has been holding Jimin's hand tightly. He quickly lets go, and they join the queue to get lunch.

Yoongi notices that Jimin only dishes himself a small serving of salad alongside a glass of water. Seeing his hyung watching him, Jimin explains "I-I'm not feeling very hungry today," Yoongi is concerned but he tries not to worry Jimin by showing it.

They find a place and sit down at an empty table. "So, how are you finding your first day, Yoongi hyung?" Jimin enquires. "Hopefully we have made a good impression for you!" He jokes lightly. Yoongi shrugs.

"It was okay. Everyone seems nice in my classes and leaves me alone, except for this dick in my maths class called Jeon Jungkook who was rude." Upon hearing the name, Jimin shivers. He suddenly looks really small and vulnerable. "Do you know him, Jimin-ah?" Yoongi reaches across the table and places a hand on his dongsaeng's shoulder, offering him comfort. Jimin shakes it off and with a half hearted laugh he says, "N-no. I-I don't know him hyung–"

Suddenly Jimin's eyes dart behind his hyung and, upon seeing his friend's, some of the colour returns to the boy's face. Four boys skip over to the table, one of which Yoongi recognises as Namjoon, whom he met in the morning.

A young boy with a boxy smile sits down on Yoongi's right. "Are you Chim Chim's new friend?" He asks curiously. "He told me all about you this morning in Maths!" Assuming that he indeed is Jimin's new friend, Yoongi nods.

"Right."

The three other boys join them at the table. "Hi! I'm Hoseok. You can call me whatever though. And his name is Taehyung," the boy to Yoongi's left explains, pointing at the boy who had spoken to Yoongi a moment before.

"I-I'm Yoongi then–" he replies shyly.

"I believe you've already met Monnie," Jimin speaks. Yoongi nods his head. He looks at the class rep and then at the older boy sitting on his lap. Catching Yoongi's glance, the other boy speaks up.

"I'm Namjoon's boyfriend. Seokjin. I'm your hyung, I think." Yoongi nods again.

"Okay, now you've met everyone!" Jimin exclaims excitedly, letting his interest in the older boy show and earning a laugh from the others.

"It's n-nice to meet you guys." Taehyung taps his shoulder and Yoongi flinches uncomfortably at his touch - but no one seems to notice it. 'Probably for the better,' Yoongi reasons with himself.

"I think you're really interesting, hyung! We're going to be good friends, I think!" Taehyung grins.

"Y-yeah. Me too."

They continue to converse in small conversations, all 5 friends eager to get to know the new boy, who seems quite cold and closed off at first; but Jimin is sure that that will change once he can break the ice.
