"Jimin, there's a reason they don't want to hang out with outcasts," Taehyung says, heading toward the cafeteria. "Sometimes there are reasons for that. Don't worry about it."

"What reasons? Appearance? That's nonsense, that's no reason not to talk," the younger one argues, frowning slightly; his expression was quite serious.

— What does appearance have to do with it? There are other factors, like personality.

• He is always silent, no one knows his character.

"That's the whole point, he's always silent. And many people don't want to approach him, it's really annoying."

Jimin still didn't understand. The man was silent, but he could be an interesting conversationalist. Maybe he was shy? A week ago, a new student named Jungkook transferred to his class. He was strange to many; no one wanted to talk to him, everyone avoided him. His appearance was a bit creepy; he had a scar on his cheek, and his eyes were glassy, ​​making him look unnatural. His skin was pale. Yes, the guy looked unusual, but that was no reason to avoid him, Jimin thought to himself.

— I heard that he transferred because he was expelled from his previous school, they say he did something serious.

Rumors. They were common practice, but you can't trust rumors; they could be pure slander. Although they do come from somewhere. Jimin sometimes watched Jungkook, and he was always calm, quiet, and silent, but his glassy, ​​pale gaze alone sent shivers down his spine, though unfortunately not in a pleasant way. The guy was Korean, but oddly enough, his eyes were a pale gray. Maybe it was just a peculiarity?

A week later, Jungkook was seated at the back of the class next to Jimin because no one wanted to sit next to him. This was expected; everyone was afraid of him. But the younger boy didn't care; he continued to act friendly and always tried to win over the new kids. Throughout the lessons, the older boy remained silent, only occasionally casting sharp, glassy glances at Jimin, which sent shivers down Jimin's spine. Jimin himself didn't understand why, but he pushed away the unnecessary panic and slight anxiety in his chest.

Still waters run deep...
