Chapter 1

14th April 2019

The first day of high school was supposed to feel special.

For Taehyung, it felt unfamiliar.

He stood near the bus window with earphones plugged in, watching the roads pass by while anxiety and excitement quietly fought inside his chest. Beside him sat his sister, Lisa, equally silent but calmer than him.

A new school.

New people.

A completely different beginning.

The school bus finally stopped in front of the huge iron gates. Students were rushing inside with sleepy faces and unfinished conversations while Taehyung simply stood there for a moment, adjusting the straps of his bag and taking a deep breath.

“Come on,” Lisa nudged him softly.

And just like that, they stepped into a place that would unknowingly change their lives.

The campus was bigger than his previous school. Louder too. Taehyung kept looking around, trying to memorize corridors and buildings so he wouldn’t get lost later.

Right after entering, he noticed a familiar face.

Not exactly a friend.

Just someone he knew enough to exchange smiles with.

“Oh, hey… you transferred here too?” she asked with slight surprise.

“Yeah,” Taehyung smiled awkwardly. “Just today.”

The conversation was short and simple—nothing important, just the kind strangers have when they recognize each other in a new place. But somehow, it made him feel a little less nervous.

After that, Taehyung walked Lisa to her classroom first.

“Don’t get lost,” she joked before entering her class.

“I should be telling you that,” he replied.

Once Lisa disappeared inside, Taehyung started searching for his own classroom. He wandered through unfamiliar hallways, reading classroom numbers again and again until a teacher finally noticed his confusion.

“You seem lost,” the teacher said with a small smile.

Taehyung laughed awkwardly. “A little.”

The teacher helped him find the classroom and even walked part of the way with him. Later, Taehyung would find out that the same teacher was going to be his biology teacher for the entire year.

But the first day itself was far from serious.

Since it was the beginning of the session, barely any students had shown up. Only a few classmates were present, and instead of regular classes, everyone was told to sit in the library for the day.

And honestly?

It turned out better than expected.

The entire day passed quietly and comfortably. Some students talked among themselves, some explored parts of the campus, while Taehyung mostly sat in the library observing everything around him. The nervousness he carried in the morning slowly faded into curiosity.

Nothing dramatic happened that day.

No life-changing moment.

No special encounter.

No sign that years later he would remember this exact day while trying to write it into a story.

It was simply a normal first day.

And maybe that’s what made it memorable.
