Chapter 2
Jimin hadn't expected to be here in the hospital with a total stranger on his first day at school. He followed the other boy to the hospital and after a thorough check up, they found that he was fine except for a slight broken arm and a cut on his forehead but two weeks in a cast and he would be brand new.
Jimin couldn't wait to flee from the hospital. Soon, they were standing in front of the hospital building and he bowed his head to the other
"I guess this is where we part ways. I really do hope you get better" He said. He wasn't lying. He actually really hoped he recovered.
"Um... I don't know your name!"
"Jimin! Park Jimin" Came the answer followed by a small smile that surprisingly made Taehyung's heart beat faster.
"Kim Taehyung" He answered back.
He wanted to talk a bit more but the other was in such a hurry.
"I'm sorry but I don't think I can stay with you for a chat"
"You see, today is my first day of school. It's important for me that I attend"
Taehyung smirked. "I can see you're the serious type"
"Scholarship student actually!"
Jimin wasn't shy to let people know his brain helps him study in one of the best schools in the country. Taehyung couldn't help feeling impressed.
"That's good"
But he wasn't just impressed by his intelligence. No! He was impressed by other things. This boy's beauty. He probably didn't realize just how fine he was. He seemed like a total nerd wearing typical round spectacles but his fashion sense was quite detailed. He had on an oversized striped tee shirt with ripped blue jeans. His hair was pure black and his face looked really innocent but his eyes held a lot of strength and determination. However, the most attractive thing about him was his lips. They were full and perky inviting him to pay attention to them. He found himself drawn to them almost to the point he couldn't think of anything else.
After sometime, he realized himself and shook his head. He was much too preoccupied with Jimin's physical attributes. That wasn't the kind of person he was. He wasn't the type to pay so much attention to anyone else other than himself. This was a first.
"So, I'll see you later" Jimin said interrupting his thoughts.
"Yeah! Yeah! See you later" He answered. He had wanted to get his number but the latter wasn't ready to give him the time of day. Jimin smiled and bowed his head again before dashing off faster than lighting.
As Jimin walked away, he hoped he wouldn't have to see that guy again.
He seemed to have a strong magnetic pull towards him. Jimin noticed how he was staring at his face especially at his lips and the though alone made him shudder. He knew guys like him. They were mostly up to no good and only had one thing in mind. His mother had warned him several times against boys like that. It would do him a lot of good to stay away from him.
Thankfully, he was able to get to school. Not much had happened so he didn't miss a lot. He was able to catch up and as the days progressed, he made some friends who assisted him with notes and materials. Everything went smoothly and Jimin was sure his school life was going to be a stress free and normal one. That was till the day he saw him again.
That morning, Jimin entered into class. He greeted his fellow students and settled in his seat. He was sorting out his books for the next lecture when he heard someone whisper in his ears.
"Nice to meet you again"
Jimin froze immediately. He wasn't that close to anyone yet so who would have the impetus to whisper in his ear? He just hoped it wasn't a bully or they were so getting it from him. He slowly turned his head to check who the person was. He didn't expect it would be him.
A mixture of excitement and slight anxiety spread through his entire body.
"You? What are you doing here?"
"Isn't it a coincidence? You and I happen to be From from the same department" He said as he rolled his eyes.
Jimin took a deep breath determined not to pay too much attention to him.
"Cool. Well it's nice to meet you again"
Taehyung went on as if he didn't hear him purposely dismissing him.
"I was actually thinking we could hang out today. That day when you left, I had been hoping I would see you again"
Jimin clenched his fist tightly. Was this guy flirting with him? Suddenly, his mother's warning voice rang in his head and he remembered her strict words to stay away from boys.
He shook his head. "Sorry, I can't. I still have a lot to cover today" he answered.
"Book worm" Taehyung retorted.
It wasn't long before Jimin started noticing all eyes in the class were on him. People were whispering and pointing at him. He wondered what they were gossiping about but he shrugged off his concern. It probably wasn't anything.
Lectures came and went and finally, school ended. Jimin decided to head to the library for a bit and pick up some books. As he came out, someone immediately stood in his way. Jimin wailed ready to cuss at the fool who suddenly decided to pick such a time to provoke him when he looked up and stared into those dark intense eyes. He shuddered immediately at the extreme closeness between their faces. He stepped back but felt a soft touch on his hand. He was pulled back slowly and at that moment, Jimin wanted to melt into a puddle. He managed to regain some self control as he walked past Taehyung away from the library
"Where are you going?" Taehyung called him back. He stopped to glare at him
"What are you doing here?"
"What does it look like?" There was a soft smirk on his lips as he looked down at him.
"Please can you hang out with me today? I feel lonely" he said pouting his lips. He looked so cute Jimin wanted to laugh.
Lonely? Did he just say lonely? Jimin rolled his eyes. He could recall how he was surrounded by a lot of people the entire day. He seemed to have a lot of friends so how could he say he was lonely?
"I don't think so. You have a lot of friends"
Taehyung lowered his eyes. "Seems like it but not really. Most of them are just there for what they can gain from me"
Jimin could see a faint hint of sadness on his face and a part of him felt sorry for him
"So you're a chaebol?"
Taehyung shrugged looking nervous "Yeah!"
Jimin sighed. "Nice but I don't see why you're insisting to get close to me"
There was silence from the other. He looked anxious and his face was set.
"Well, when I met you, it was the first time I forgot my problems"
Jimin was surprised by his answer. "What?"
Taehyung ran his hands over his head. "I don't really know you but there's something about you. It's calming, relaxing. My first impression of you was really good which is odd because I don't trust people easily"
"Are you for real?"
Taehyung smiled. "I am. Something tells me you're different Jimin. I'd like for us to be friends!"
"Friends? Are you sure? We don't roll the same way"
Taehyung smirked. "But I was thinking your good qualities could somehow rub off on me"
"You'll have to do a lot of studying"
"I think I need it. My grades are pretty low"
Jimin laughed lightly. This guy wasn't prepared for a rejection"Okay then, where do you want us to go?"
A big smile appeared on Taehyung's face. "Wherever you're going! I don't mind"
Jimin couldn't believe this. He didn't know how but he ended up letting this strange boy into his head. He could only hope that he wouldn't regret it.
"Alright. I wanted to do a bit of studying at the rooftop of the department building. The air is nice and we could eat snacks while studying"
"You go ahead! I'll be right there with the snacks"
Jimin snickered. Taehyung was acting as if he was wooing him. The looks he kept giving him, the slight touches, He wasn't behaving in a friendly manner. He shook his head. Maybe it was all in his head. He had to be careful not to get the wrong idea. Taehyung hurriedly left while Jimin went to the rooftop. It didn't take long for him to return. He brought so many snacks Jimin wasn't sure if they could finish it.
"No worries. You can take the rest home with you"
"You sure? Thanks!"
Jimin began to focus on his book but he was clearly decieving himself because Taehyung's eyes wouldn't stop lingering on him. After sometime, he couldn't take it anymore so he turned to Taehyung.
"Aren't you going to study?"
"Didn't bring my book"
"You can share mine"
Taehyung didn't answer. He just kept looking at him, so It caused his skin to crawl.
"What? What is it? Why are you staring at me"
Taehyung was quiet. He slowly ate his snack still staring at him.
"Are you dating anyone?"
Jimin nearly choked, surprised by his question.
"Why do you ask?"
Taehyung fumbled with his fingers.
"Well I'm just curious. You're fine as hell. It would be a surprise if you're still single"
Jimin frowned. "Well, that's not your business now is it?"
"Please, I just want to know"
"Why? Are you interested in me?"
He looked him straight in the eye hoping to see him falter but Taehyung didn't. Instead, he smiled cheekily.
"Yes!"
This time, Jimin choked. Taehyung continued. "I have been interested in you from the first day I met you"
"There's just something about you"
Jimin suddenly drew a distance between them"So you decieved me about becoming my friend"
"I wasn't lying about that. I do want to be your friend. I can tell you're the kind of person who won't take someone seriously unless you know and trust them enough!"
"I'm hoping you can let me get closer to you even if we're only just friends for now"
Jimin shook his head. "I don't think it's possible. There's a reason why I can't be romantic with anyone especially with boys"
He started gathering his things. He stood up from the ground.
"I'm sorry. I'll appreciate it if you just left me alone. Don't start what you can't finish" He said and walked away leaving the Taehyung staring after him with sadness in his eyes. He didn't even take the snacks with him. Jimin was determined to flee from his presence but from that moment on, he just knew Taehyung face was going to haunt his dreams for a very long time. And boy, was he right.
