MY REDEMPTION •KTH FF•

23

It's been one month since Taehyung, apologized to you. Surprisingly, he has been nothing but nice ever since that day. It made you question everything you thought you knew about him. Maybe he's not as bad as you believed him to be; perhaps it was the circumstances that turned him into a bully in the first place.

You couldn't deny the strange feeling that started to grow inside you whenever you were around him, your heart fluttering in a way you couldn't explain. "Is it possible that my feelings towards Taehyung are changing, evolving into something unexpected? Could it be that he wasn't just a bully anymore, but someone I was starting to care about."

------------------------------

Taehyung walked into the university campus with a smile on his face, excited to start the day. He quickly spotted you sitting on a bench, immersed in a book.

"Hey Y/n! How are you today?" Taehyung greeted.

You looked up and returned the smile, "Hey Taehyung! I'm doing great, thanks. How about you?"

"Fantastic as always," Taehyung replied, sitting down next to you. "What are you reading today?"

You held up the book, "It's a romance novel. I can't seem to put it down, it's so captivating."

Taehyung chuckled, "Ah, romance novels. So, any plans after class today?"

You closed the book with a sigh, "Not really. Just going to head to the library and work on my assignment. What about you?"

"I am free, just some assignments I'll do them later," Taehyung said. 

Taehyung found himself falling deeper in love with you every passing day. You, unaware of his feelings, were always friendly and welcoming towards him.

He matched your pace easily, falling into step beside you once more. "I was thinking, maybe we could grab lunch together later? I know this great spot off-campus that serves amazing bibimbap."

You hesitated, unsure of how to respond. 

"Sure, why not," you finally said, the words leaving your mouth before you could stop them.

Taehyung's face lit up with a smile, his eyes softening as he looked at you. "Great! I'll meet you outside your last class, okay?"

During your last class, you found yourself stealing glances at the clock, counting down the minutes until you would see Taehyung again.

You found it hard to concentrate, your mind wandering to the lunch you had just agreed to. What did Taehyung mean by asking you out for bibimbap? Was this just a friendly gesture, or was there something more beneath the surface?

When the bell finally rang, you gathered your things and headed outside, where he was waiting for you with a gentle smile playing on his lips.

"Isn't this place charming?" Taehyung said with a smile, his eyes sparkling with admiration for the quaint cafe.

You nodded in agreement, "It's lovely."

As you chatted, you couldn't help but notice how Taehyung's eyes sparkled in the soft lighting of the cafe. His words were engaging, but your attention kept drifting to the way his lips moved as he spoke, the way his hair fell just so over his forehead.

Taehyung caught you staring and raised an eyebrow in amusement. "What's got you so distracted today?"

You blushed, feeling embarrassed at being caught. "Oh, nothing, I was just... lost in thought."
