Taehyung lay straight beside Jimin, gazing up at the ceiling in a bed illuminated by semi-yellow lights.
Taehyung couldn't think clearly about how he reacted and what he thought. He didn't understand why he was making such a big deal out of it when he was clearly aware that Jimin was planning to settle down with someone.
Was it truly because i didn't like Areum?
Or would he feel the same about
anyone who was with Jimin?
Taehyung had never seen Jimin with anyone other than himself.
Since childhood, Jimin had kept himself away from the crowd, choosing to live and eventually pass away in solitude. This desire had always compelled Taehyung to disrupt Jimin's loneliness and invade his life with his own charisma.
Suddenly, a past event flashed before Taehyung's eyes like a recorded movie.
BACK IN TIME
"I guess the college is empty, no one is here," a boy said, standing beside Taehyung who was running his fingers through his hair to remove the water that had recently drenched him from the heavy grey clouds
"The weather changed out of the blue," Taehyung muttered, annoyed by the fact that his expensive jacket had become soaked in the stupid rain.
"Dude, I think we should also leave," another boy suggested, hugging his own jacket tightly as his body shivered from the cold.
"Don't tell me you're getting scared of the college's hidden ghost rumors again," a boy exclaimed, with an irritated expression on his face, causing Taehyung to stare at them.
"How ridiculous you are," he scoffed.
" I'm just chillin' waitin' for this rain to stop pourin'." And then, after a hot minute, when it got a little less heavy,
Taehyung straight up tossed his Audi R8 key. The boy caught it like his whole existence depended on that pricey car key. He's all,
"bring that whip over here. We can dip now." And the other dude, no questions asked, bolts from the scene in a flash.
Now, Taehyung found himself in solitude, as one of the boys had already departed and another had gone to retrieve his car.
"Fuck this relentless rain," Taehyung murmured, expressing his frustration by the downpour. Despite the rain, he aimlessly forged ahead, lost in his own thoughts.
With a sense of purposelessness, he aimlessly took a step forward.
He strolled through the corridors, allowing his mind to wander unknowingly.
Suddenly, a captivating melody reached his ears, enveloping him in a veil of confusion.
Taehyung furrowed his brows in confusion but instinctively followed the sound, finding himself deeper within the confines of the college.
As his gaze fell upon a mesmerizing scene, his feet became rooted to the ground. Before him stood the most breathtaking sight he had ever beheld
- a boy adorned in a loose white shirt, with the top three buttons left undone, accompanied by a pair of pristine white pants. The boy gracefully twirled, clutching a delicate white satin cloth in his hand, allowing it explore in the air,
The fluidity of his movements entranced Taehyung's eyes, causing him to become enraptured. With poetic beauty,
As the boy laid himself upon the wooden floor, extending his hands and creating ethereal artistry within the air. These dance moves were more than mere motions; they contained an entire narrative stories with raw emotions.
And the boy rose to his feet, his delicate frame swaying gracefully as if guided by a celestial melody.
It seemed like he was floating in a magical world, every movement creating a dazzling light in the background.
Taehyung was captivated, his gaze transfixed on the boy's skin, as fair and luminous as freshly fallen snow, bathed in the soft embrace of sunlight.
His heart raced with a mix of emotions, a feeling he had never experienced before. an intoxicating blend of emotions awakened by this dance, unlike anything he had ever witnessed before. It was like he had discovered a timeless and perfect beauty.
Unable to tear his eyes away from the boy, Taehyung's gaze ventured deeper into the abyss of his enchantment. The more he stared, the more he found himself lost in an unfamiliar current, connection, something that fascinated him completely an inexplicable pull .
He gingerly removed his hand, his icy fingers gliding along the surface of the glass, longing to bridge the gap between them.
In that moment, he felt the boy's intense gaze, as if they were looking into each other's souls through the thick pane of glass between them.
their eyes locking in a timeless connection. The boy, with his tousled hair falling delicately over his forehead, emitted a frigid aura that sent shivers down Taehyung's spine, causing him to jerkily avert his gaze towards the beside of the surrounding walls. With trembling eyelids, he shut out the world.
Taehyung caught his breath, trying to steady himself. As he opened his eyes, there stood the boy who had left earlier to fetch his car, now gazing at him with a hint of confusion.
"What brings you here?" the boy asked, causing Taehyung to once again turn towards the window,
where he had been captivated by the sparkling beauty outside. And yet, his attention was still drawn to the boy, who moved with a grace resembling an exquisite dance. A dance that unknowingly twirled within Taehyung's heart.
With the gentle caress of his heal of palm, he wiped away the faint fog from the window, desperately seeking answers. Only one question slipped past his lips laden with emotion,
"Who is he?" His voice trembled under the weight of his feelings for the boy.
"Park Jimin," the boy replied, still bewildered as to why Taehyung's eyes held an intensity of emotions that seemed unattainable.
In that moment, as Taehyung felt a tug deep within his soul, a burning desire builded inside him. He yearned to know more about this enigmatic figure, to unravel every secret and discover all there was to know. His thirst of surpassed any other mortal's on this planet.
Never breaking his gaze from Jimin, Taehyung spoke with unwavering determination, the only word crossing his mind in the meantime
"I want to know about him" The words slipped from his lips, mirroring the chill in the atmosphere as in his voice ,carrying an air of command, leaving the boy with goosebumps.

"Park Jimin, the younger heir of one of the biggest business companies in Korea, known as Park Group. Many people don't believe that he comes from such wealth because Jimin has never shown off his riches. Since school, he has distanced himself from the other rich kids. He doesn't believe in wearing expensive clothes or driving fancy cars, surrounded by women and partying all night. Jimin hates showing off for no reason.
Even in college, everyone believes he has some kind of illness because he never approaches anyone besides his professors. Don't forget, Jimin is a boy with the highest grades. He always keeps himself buried in books. Everyone calls him the teacher's pet, but Jimin doesn't care. Even if you threw a glass of coffee at him, he wouldn't say anything. He walks like the world is invisible, or maybe he is invisible. The only person he shares his life with is his family, especially his elder brother Jihun, who is incredibly concerned about Jimin"
The boy said it like he learned it,
taehyung put, pressure on the accelerator, speeding up the car. "Park Jimin," he mumbled to himself.

as usual jimin walks in canteen minding his own business, he kept walking He had a specific destination in mind - the last corner table that belonged to him. No one ever sat there except for him. However, his path was abruptly interrupted by a boy who appeared out of nowhere, causing Jimin to look at him with curiosity.
Jimin's innocent expression was accentuated by his glasses slightly sliding down his nose. He observed the boy who stood before him, noting that he was taller and had long silver hair tied back with a black bandana. The boy wore a leather jacket that showcased his well-defined biceps.
the boy named Taehyung whispered in a husky voice "Let's see if you mind it or not"
leaving Jimin wondering about his intentions. The entire canteen was now fixated on this unexpected encounter.
the coolest, wealthiest, and most attractive guy on campus decided to confront the richest ,nerdiest student in college by splashing ice-cold Americano on him. The act left everyone gasping in shock, their eyes widening at what they had just witnessed.
jimin eyes the dropping americano from his cloth and he look back at the americano owner, taehyung raise his brow a little, Jimin then focused on the smirk playing on Taehyung's lips, realizing that throwing the coffee on the nerd had provided him with great amusement. Feeling a surge of anger, Jimin clenched his fist as he heard some people hooting in admiration, shouting, "That's cool, V
However, the canteen was once again filled with shock when the seemingly innocent nerd swiftly grabbed a open carton of orange juice from a nearby table and threw it right at hunk's face. From which he was smirking at his innocent victim just moments ago.
"Maybe now you'll understand that your pathetic attempts at bullying won't work here," the nerd declared, his eyes filled with a dangerous intensity. Taehyung stared back at him, unable to believe that the same person who appeared mild-mannered just moments ago could possess such assertiveness.
Jimin calmly walked past Taehyung, the orange juice dripping from his handsome face. As he exited the canteen, he turned around to give one last intense stare at Taehyung. However, to his surprise, Taehyung wore a foolish smile, which prompted Jimin to quietly mutter, "Fucker."
━━━━⊱(back in present)⊰━━━━
Taehyung chuckled as he reminisced about the past film playing before his eyes, like a comedy skit. He couldn't help but smile, thinking about how enjoyable their days had been.
"It's official now that you're not stable," a voice from the boy lying next to Taehyung caught his attention.
"Know that I hate you," Taehyung remarked, still smiling and turning towards Jimin. "I'm not sorry," Jimin teased him. Taehyung muttered audibly for Jimin to hear, "I knew it, because you're my Jiminie pabo." Jimin simply smiled and moved his hand to stroke the back of Taehyung's neck.
"You know, Tae, I'm nervous," Jimin confessed, avoiding eye contact with the owner of those intense black ink-like eyes.
"Who made you nervous?" Taehyung whispered, shifting closer to Jimin.
"Everything, everything I want, everything I wish, makes me nervous. You know, when you desire something beyond your control, it scares me to confess the truth. I just want to follow the unknown, the path that is dark and uncertain. I want to willingly get lost in it, to experience the pain of challenging my own self," Jimin paused for a moment, his eyes locked onto Taehyung's gaze.
"I want to convince myself that there's no magic in eyes, no sparkle in touch, no heart that beats faster than ever , no excitement in seeing the one you love," Jimin concluded with a deep, heartfelt voice, leaving Taehyung in a state of immense confusion.
"What are you talking about?" Taehyung asked, his brow furrowing in concern.
"Leave, Tae. My world is filled with complications," Jimin said, turning to face the ceiling. A glimmer of tear appeared in his eyes, but he quickly repressed it, not wanting to cry in front of him.
"This is so damn complicated," Taehyung muttered, closing his eyes.
