I am rudely ripped out of my subconscious dreaming due to a very loud alarm clock. Well that's nice. I start my morning the same as yesterday with my struggle to wake up. For breakfast I just had some instant oatmeal with slices of strawberry. I needed to go shopping after my classes finish because I needed supplies and groceries. Once I finished, I place my dishes in the sink, brush my teeth and hair, then change my outfit. I went with a comfortable pair of maroon shorts and a light grey sweatshirt. Slipping on a pair of Adidas and throwing my bag over my shoulder, I step out of my apartment and locked the door behind me.

At least this morning I wasn't in a rush, so once I arrived on campus, I still had 20 minutes to spare. Deciding to walk along the pathways around the campus, I check out the little flower beds and shrubs placed around. I noticed, as I walked passed, that there were many students seated on benches or under trees. They were either in groups, as a couple, or by themselves. I checked my phone to see that 10 minutes had passed and that I should probably head to class. Walking over to the Fine Arts Department Building, I enter and find several students milling around the open lobby area.

Heading up the stairs to the classroom and opening the door, I quickly find Momo and Chaeyoung conversing with each other. The classroom already had loud chatter from the students sitting around. I walk over and take the seat I had yesterday next to Momo.


She turns at my arrival and says, "Good Morning y/n! How are you?"

As I was about to reply back, Chaeyoung popped her head from beside Momo and said, "We know you're fine. Now how about what happened at lunch yesterday? How do you know the 'Bangtan Boys' hmm?"

"I- Well." I hesitated because I couldn't say I lived near the boys. So I just said, "I knew Taehyung because we are childhood friends. I guess he recognized me and said hello."

They both took the statement well and nodded. "That makes sense. Are you joining us for lunch today? We have to introduce you to our neighbor dormmates! That's a weird way of saying it." Momo stated.

"Neighbor dormmates?"

"Yeah, we are close friends with the girls that stay in the dorms around us. Since all three rooms are at the end of the hall, we all just made friends quickly." Chaeyoung answers and then leans in closer to me and says, "The girls in the dorm across from ours are plain rude. That's why we are close with the other two dorms instead." She returns to her previous position next to Momo and exclaims, "They will join us for lunch today! You should come meet them since you are our friend too."

I don't have time to think of a response before I realize it is very quiet and I notice the seat to my left is now occupied.


There is Taehyung in all his glory, under the bright rays of the sunshine. He was holding his head up with his hand, elbow on the desk, as though he were modeling. He has a slight grin plastered on his lips as well. What the heck?


"Sorry ladies. We want her to sit with us during lunch now on."

I was about to retaliate against his statement before the Professor cut me off. Taehyung just smirked at my agitation.

"Alright, let's begin class. Stop your glaring girls, it is time to start roll." The professor states with a hint of amusement which causes my attention to shift to the front. Many girls are looking at me with frowns but reluctantly turn their heads back to the front as well. While she takes roll, I continue to feel Taehyung's stare on my face. My eye twitches because someone is watching my awkward self, and I feel uncomfortable. I was about to tell him to look away before my name is called. I let my presence be known and quickly turn to him.

"Quit staring at me! I don't like it." I hiss out and he grins.

"I noticed. It was funny to see you tense and your mouth start pouting. Your eyes and nose twitches when you're annoyed and you start to blink more." he whispered in response and I look at him wide eyed. I didn't even know my nose twitches. Taehyung was snickering while I start thinking about something to say.

"I think it's adora-"

"Kim Taehyung. Already talking in class? Miss Choi, please refrain from conversation." Stated the professor before continuing the list. My eyes widen at being admonished. I throw a quick glare at Taehyung, as he shrugs, before turning to see Momo stare at me inquisitively when we make eye contact. I shyly smile and shrug my shoulders before focusing on the professor.

The class continues without hitch as Professor Chaeun gave us the task to paint the color wheel. It was a fun simple project for the first assignment. Taehyung would occasionally annoy me by poking me and threatening to put paint on my face when the professor wasn't looking. Once class finally dismissed, she told us to leave our pieces on the desk and she would go around to pick them up after we left. I stood and stretched my legs that had fallen asleep.

Chaeyoung lightly kicked my shin and leaned in before whispering, "Guess you aren't joining us for lunch huh, but one of these days we will kidnap you! The girls and I shall start planning at dawn!"

I giggled and replied, "Yes please. Just send me a signal so I know when the plan shall commence. I shall long for your rescue mission." Pouting, I shaped my fingers into two L's and flipped them, quickly bringing them up to my eyes to look like tears.

"We'll come in the canteen with a bulldozer, no... a UFO! We will communicate with aliens and-" Momo quickly covers Chaeyoung's mouth with her hand and flicked her forehead with the other hand. Chaeyoung winced and whined behind the hand.

"Hey! We need to go to class, stop speaking nonsense! Bye y/n. See you later!" Momo threw a quick smile over her shoulder as she grabbed Chaeyoung's hand and lead her out the door.

Just before leaving, Chaeyoung sent a quick salute and I responded with my own.

I turn and see Taehyung still standing behind me while yawning. Glancing around, I notice many girls are still around the room looking at Taehyung. I am shocked with how much attention he has and quickly start to leave the classroom.


I was so close to the exit...


Not until my bag was harshly pulled back and I with it. I landed with a thump against Taehyung's chest as he laughs. I glare at him since I didn't appreciate getting the air knocked out of me when abruptly having my bag pulled back. He shows a boxy grin in response from above me.

"What class do you have next? I've been around the campus before, I can help you find it."

"Uhm, It's fine? I kind of already found it yesterday. Don't you have a class after? You should get going."

"It's fine, It doesn't start for 20 minutes! Now what class do you have? If you keep stalling, you might be late."

"Okay, Okay. It's Graphic Design. Now let go."

"I know where that is! Jungkookie takes that class this year too! Let's go!" He exclaims as he releases me from his chest and grabs my hand, quickly dragging me out the door. In his haste to get to the room, I notice many people move out of his way as he glides through. The path he took was a very long way around. He purposely dragged me around the campus area. A couple minutes later, I'm breathing heavily as Taehyung stands in front of the door.

"You have 5 minutes before your class starts. I should start heading to my next class. Bye y/n! Tell Jungkookie I said bye." With that he quickly leaves down the hall. I sigh at his strange behavior and turn to open the door.
