Confessions of the Past

Chapter Thirteen

"I promised I would never hurt you and I did!"

"But you didn't mean it. It's alright. I know you didn't purposely do it. Besides, I'm okay, aren't I? I'm still standing here." You rubbed his head. Hoseok consoled a sad Jungkook as you hugged the rest.

"I've missed you." Yoongi and Namjoon were the only ones that stuck to the pack word of 'keeping a distance'.

"I missed you too, Alphas." You giggled and they couldn't help the growl that rumbled in their chests, hearing you call them 'Alpha'.

"Oops, probably not the right time to joke like that, right?" You blushed and Yoongi couldn't help but shoot you a dirty look. Namjoon cleared his throat, stiffening slightly as he hugged you. You walked all of them to the door with promises of meeting them tomorrow.

"Study hard for the exam tomorrow!" You shouted as you waved.

The next day came rather quickly. Your heart raced anxiously as you walked to the bus stop. You were so lost in your worried thoughts that you didn't even notice your 7 mates.

"Hello?" Jimin waved his hand in front of you.

"Huh? Oh! Good morning, boys." You smiled at them. They could all feel your slightly nervous and negative emotions.

"Don't psych yourself out. You will do great, hmm? You worked hard and you aren't one that is falling behind either. You need to trust yourself, give yourself and your beautiful brain more credit." Namjoon cupped your cheek, rubbing it with his thumb. You smiled softly, immediately feeling a little calmer from the effect of his words.

"Thanks, Joonie." You smiled.

"At least we'll all be sitting near one another." You turned to face all of them and they nodded. Indeed, all the boys had a calming effect on you.

"You'll do fine." Yoongi grasped your hand as you sat beside him on the bus. He gently rubbed the back of it in an effort to calm your nerves. You leaned your head onto his shoulder.

"Can't wait to have you over again." He leaned his head against yours.

"I can't wait for the exams to be over. It'll be more relaxing then." You said and he chuckled in agreement.

When the bus pulled up, all of you got off. Thankfully, everyone was kind of in their own world when it came to the exam season so you didn't get bullied as much. And now with the boys always around you, most of your bullies backed off. Well, at least the male bullies did.

"Whore." Kira scoffed as she walked past you, bumping shoulders with you. You ignored her, far too jittery about the exams to deal with her.

"Take a deep breath." Taehyung held your hands in his as he flashed you his signature boxy smile. You closed your eyes and took a deep breath. You smiled up at him.

"This connects us. If you need to feel calm, we'll feel it." Jin showed you his pink crystal necklace and you nodded, touching your white one through your shirt, feeling the rock under your fingers.

"Let's go." Namjoon gestured for everyone to enter the classroom. It was time to put whatever you studied with the boys and on your own to use.

You sat down in your allocated seat and the teacher went around checking the classroom to make sure no one had anything to cheat before she headed to the front. Giving everyone one last look, she began to give out the test papers. You received yours with a slight bow of the head and waited for her to start the timer to begin the exam.

"You may begin now." She said and the sound of multiple papers being flipped was heard.

"Deep breath." You remembered Taehyung's words and took a deep breath as you started the first question.
