Taehyung stopped his bike in front of Jeon mansion.

"Thank you hyung for dropping me." Jungkook said.

"Don't mention Kookie it was my pleasure. Did you have fun since it was your first time riding on a bike?" Taehyung asked

"Yes hyung I had a lot of fun. I never had this much fun before."

Taehyung all of a sudden felt sad. How lonely and boring his life must have been if he thinks riding a bike is the most fun he ever had. He vowed to change that.

"Well if you loved it this much then I promise I'll take you on rides whenever you want." Taehyung said.

"Really hyung. What if I want to ride o your bike everyday?"

"Then I am going to give you a ride everyday. You know what that's exactly what I am gonna do. From tomorrow I'll drop you home everyday. You can tell your driver not to pick you up from college anymore."

"What no no hyung I was just joking. You don't have to do that."

"Well you may be joking but I wasn't. I am serious. From tomorrow I'll drop you home. No more discussion."

"Hyung I don't think that's such a good idea. Please don't be mad hyung I just don't want to cause you any problem."

"And what makes you think I have any problem in dropping you home?"

"It's not that hyung, it's just that people might get the wrong idea and they will say bad things about you or the hyungs and I don't want that." Jungkook said in a small voice.

"Kookie did anyone say anything bad to you?"

"No hyung no one said anything." Jungkook said almost immediately.

"Now I am damn sure that someone said something to you. What did they say Kookie?"

"It's nothing hyung really."

"Jungkook when I said that you are no longer alone and you can tell us anything and we'll always protect you I was being serious. And I can't do anything if you won't talk to me. So tell me what is it?"

"No one said anything to me but they were talking behind my back. They said that you don't let anyone sit with you on your table and the only reason you allowed me to sit with you is because either I am dating one of you or I am sleeping with one of you."

Taehyung was furious. Now he understood what rumors Jenny was talking about. He should've known that there will be rumors when they decided to let Jungkook sit with them. He doesn't care what anyone says about him. People always talk about them and he is used to it. But Jungkook is innocent. He doesn't deserve this just because he became friends with them.

"Kookie look at me." Taehyung said sternly.

Jungkook slowly lifted his head and looked into Taehyung's eyes.

"Kookie now listen to me carefully. You know that none of what those people said are true right? We became friends with you because you are a really good person not for any other intentions. If you don't want to be our friend or accept my offer to give you a ride everyday because you don't want to then we won't ever force you. But if you are doing this because you are afraid of what people might say then don't. Because people will talk even if you don't do anything."

"Hyung you misunderstood me hyung. I wasn't worried for me I was worried for you and other hyungs. I used to get bullied everyday hyung. People used to talk mean things behind my back and to my face all the time. I have heard much worse than this. But I don't want them to talk bad about you guys. And it's all happening because of me. They are saying mean things because you guys became my friends." Kookie started hyperventilating.

Taehyung immediately hugged him. He started running soothing circles on his back.

"Breathe Kookie, just breathe slowly." He kept saying soothing words in his ears. After sometime Kookie calmed down.

"Kookie you know you are a fool to think like that. You saw us in college today. You saw how people follow us around, how they keep staring at us. You even asked us if we are famous. Kookie what I am trying to say is that even if one of us sneezes it becomes a topic of discussion. You know once Hobi accidentally dropped ketchup on his shirt and one of his friend from dance class gave him a spare shirt and the next thing you know is there is a rumor about Hobi being in a relationship and everyone trying to figure out who the mystery boy is that stole Hobi's heart. There were people claiming to be the one Hobi is dating to people placing bets on boys who they thought might be the one. And you know what's the funniest part of all this was? Hobi is not even gay, he is straight."

Jungkook had his mouth hanging open when Tae finished telling the story of Hobi and his mystery lover.

"Now do you get what I am trying to say? You are not the only one who is used to people talking bad behind them. In fact it's our daily life. So don't you dare blame yourself for anything. if we haven't become friends with you they would still be talking about us. It's just right now you became the reason. Tomorrow it'll be something else. So don't worry your pretty brain about useless things. Alright."

"Thank you hyung I'll remember that. And does your offer to drop me home on your bike still stands?

"Hmm let me think."

"Hyungie you are a meanie."

"Aish don't pout my bunny and yes I'll drop you home from tomorrow. Now go inside. It will be dark soon and I'll get going too."

"OK hyung and thank you once again. Bye." Kookie waved to him and went inside.

Taehyung waited until Kookie was inside before leaving from there. He had just taken a turn when a car came out of nowhere and collided into him. He fell down and scraped his knee. He was pissed. He immediately stood up and went to the car and started banging on the driver's window to open. As soon as the driver opened the window Taehyung started yelling at him.

"What the hell dude. Don't you know this is a one way street. Do you have eyes. Thank God I have good reflexes or else I would be dead right now. What the hell are you looking at. Aren't you even going to apologize?"

Suddenly the backseat window opened and a hand came out with a wad of cash. The guy threw the money at Taehyung and closed the window.

Now Taehyung was beyond angry. He grabbed a rock from the ground and smashed the cars windows. After smashing the windows he took the money that the guy threw and threw it back at him.

"Keep it, and while you're at it why don't you buy some manners too. You could really use it." Taehyung said

The guy stepped out of the car and stood in front of Taehyung.

"What the hell do you think you are doing? Do you know who I am?" The guy asked

"Wow what a cliched question. Let me guess your next question is 'do you know what I can do'?"

"How dare you. What else can I expect from kids like you. Don't you know how to talk to your elders?"

"Elder my foot. Why should I respect someone who doesn't respect me. Or do you think respect is only reserved for old people. Just because you are rich doesn't mean you'll look down on everyone else."

"I have never once in my life met someone as arrogant and rowdy as you. You better pray to God that I never see you again. If you ever come in front of me again I'll show you you who you dared to mess with." The guy said.

"Well you are right about arrogant. It takes one to know one. And about not coming in front of you, you better wish that you won't come in front of me in the future because next time I won't just smash your windows."

"Driver let's go I can't stand here for a second more."

The guy got into his car and left from there without sparing him a glance. Taehyung was too angry. His entire mood was spoiled. He wanted to punch something. He calmed himself down before getting on his bike and leaving from there. If only he had looked back he would have seen the car going towards Jeon mansion.
