Chapter One: Taehyung's POV

People said that Kim Taehyung had everything a person could want. A wealthy family, good grades, stunning looks, lots of friends, a fun personality, and overall popularity. Everyone envied him in some way, but Taehyung remained oblivious to his fortune in life. He didn't seem to care if people liked him, which made him even more attractive of course.

However, one day, Taehyung's "perfect" world changed drastically. It started on a rather blustery Monday morning. Taehyung woke to the rattling of his shutters as they shook in the wind. Rubbing his eyes, he muttered to himself,

"School…school time…" Rolling out of bed, he hummed a cheery tune he had made up randomly the night before. "Wake up Yeontan!" He called to his black-and-tan Pomeranian puppy. Yeontan simply yawned, and ignored him. Grinning, Taehyung dressed in his school uniform and bounded down the stairs for breakfast.

"Morning mom, morning dad!" He said as he sat down at the kitchen table, reaching for a piece of toast. His dad beat him to it though, and quickly shoved it into his mouth. "Dad…" Taehyung groaned, "save some food for your growing son." He dad didn't respond, well his mouth is full of food. Taehyung thought. His dad swallowed the toast, stood, and kissed his mother on the cheek quickly.

"I have to leave for work early, honey." He said, "Tell Tae-Tae to be good at school today."

"Tell me yourself…" Taehyung said under his breath as his father left. "Mom I left my bag at Jungkook's house last night, so I'm meeting up with him early. I'm not that hungry, I'm just going to leave now okay?" His mom gave a small cough that he took as an okay. Ruffling his brown hair to achieve his usual messy look, he left the house, spirits high. I love days like today, not too cold but perfectly overcast. Maybe, if I'm lucky, it'll rain later on. Not when I'm walking back home or anything, but right when we are supposed to run laps! The less P.E. the better.

"Cloud's be on my side!" Taehyung said, gazing up at the dark puffs in the sky.

Once he arrived at school, he waited by the doors for his best friend Jeon Jungkook. They were about a year apart in age, and in different classes, but that didn't bother them. When they weren't in class, they were together. Whether in the halls, at lunch, during break, or before and after school, they were partners-in-crime. Taehyung anxiously watched small groups of students gradually begin to stream into the school. He spotted a couple of his other friends, Jung Hoseok and Min Yoongi walking to their lockers.

"Hey guys!" He waved. They didn't seem to hear his call over the chatter of the growing crowd. Shrugging it off, Taehyung scanned the hall for Jungkook's cheery face. Where is he? Hopefully he didn't forget my bag, I'm going to need my books. Taehyung slid his hand inside his pocket, searching for his phone. He immediately felt a pang of dismay, Damn! I left my phone in my bag, which means Jungkook has it. He's probably taken a million goofy selfies on it by now. After waiting a few more minutes, Taehyung decided to ask a girl nearby, "Excuse me, can I borrow your phone?" The girl merely twirled her hair and continued to chat animatedly to her friend. "Excuse me." He repeated, but the girl gave no acknowledgment to his existence. Well she's rude, Taehyung thought. Suddenly, an ice-cold feeling shot through his chest like a bullet. Gasping, he saw a person appear in front of him, walking forward as if nothing had happened.

"W-what…" He choked. What just happened? Taehyung jogged ahead, towards the boy who had just-Taehyung still didn't even know what. "You! Kid with the army green converse!" He reached out to grab the boy's shoulder but with a whoosh his hand passed right through it.

Taehyung froze; the world around him seemed to move in slow motion. What was going on? Did his hand just go through that kid?
