Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook shared a desk for six years of primary school. Taehyung had tormented Jungkook for every second of this time, but Jungkook saw his moment and chose a secondary school to end their friendship. Who would have thought tha...
After Taehyung finally finished explaining the incident, Principal Kim had a few more new doubts.
"Who sent the photos? And what's their motive?"
"You've finally reached the key point. Based on my in-depth analysis, the person who sent these photos should have also been misled by them. By sending you the photos, he wanted to make you angry and prompt you into breaking up Jungkook and me—of course, there's completely nothing between the two of us."
Principal Kim felt that kids these days were quite scheming. "Who wants to break up the two of you?" After asking this, he added in his heart, I have to thank him.
"How will I know." Taehyung shrugged exasperatedly. "There are so many people who have a crush on me."
"You know everyone who has a crush on you?"
"I don't. Eunwoo told me."
"Eunwoo has a crush on you as well?"
"Him? Nope, he's like a tiny chick who likes sticking to people. I'm a big bird."
"What in the world..."
Principal Kim felt like a wool ball had been stuffed into his brain after listening to Taehyung. He gathered and stacked the photos neatly before putting them back onto the coffee table. He concluded, "I believe you. But you're not completely innocent in this matter. Next time, you're not allowed to mess around with a boy in public. You don't even know when someone has taken advantage of you."
Taehyung edged a little closer and tried to sound him out, "Don't be angry. I have a good idea."
"Oh?"
"How about I succeed in chasing after Jungkook and make those people die from anger?"
"Don't you dare!"
Met with his father's rebuff, Taehyung slinked off gloomily to the ice rink.
That night, he received a message from Jaehyun. The next day was his birthday and he was inviting classmates over for dinner. He asked Taehyung if he wanted to go as well.
Taehyung sent him a red packet and replied: I won't be going. You guys have fun. Happy birthday in advance!
Jaehyun did not accept his red packet and sent him a red packet of his own instead.

Taehyung was one who bows to gentle persuasion and not intimidation. He was unable to continue rejecting him wilfully after he invited him in such a deferential manner. He asked if Roseanne would be going and after knowing that she would not be there, Taehyung agreed to his request. As he had already let go of the past, he could now face Jaehyun with an even and indifferent attitude.
——
The people that Jaehyun invited for his birthday were classmates whom he was closer to in high school year one. Taehyung headed over with Eunwoo. The two of them were embarrassed to go empty-handed and had prepared a gift. Taehyung was much more at ease as Roseanne was not there. He reminisced with everyone else. High school was a strange period. Though life at that time was dull and monotonous, they had astoundingly vivid memories of what had happened. Every day then was mundane, and yet deeply etched in their minds—the experience of youth itself was nothing to speak of but was able to stir up profound nostalgia when one looked back.
