It's now the next day and you're in the lecture hall, waiting for the professor to start going over the lesson for the day.

You lean back in your seat and watch as Seulgi and Sunmi walk into the room. Sunmi waves while Seulgi smiles. They sit next to you as you glance over at the door and see Lucas walking in.

He gives you a quick smile and wave before walking towards the back of the room. You merely nod your head at him before going on your phone.

"Hey, we have something to tell you." Seulgi states, causing you to look up from the screen.

"Okay, what's up?" you question, smiling over at her.

Once you make eye contact with her, you see that her expression is serious. This causes you to realize how serious the thing she wants to tell you is. You furrow your eyebrows before quickly tucking your phone into your pocket, giving her your full attention.

"So, Lucas ran into us on our way here." She states. This causes you to raise an eyebrow before glancing back to look at him. He's now talking to his friends. You then look back at Seulgi.

"And?" she glances at Sunmi before biting onto her lower lip. "Seulgi, you never hesitate to be blunt with me. What happened?" you ask.

"So," she sighs. "He was interrogating us about who you were asking to the party."

"Why's that any of his business?" you question.

"Exactly what I thought." She responds. "So, to get him off of our back, we had to tell him something."

"Tell him what?" you say while narrowing your eyes at her. "Please don't beat around the bush." You state.

"Oh for fucks' sake," Sunmi chimes in. "Taehyung is your boyfriend or the guy you're talking to now, alright?" she states, suddenly jumping into the conversation. This causes you to widen your eyes as your head snaps in her direction.

"He's what?!" you whisper-yell at them. The two nod before scratching the back of their necks. "But he's not." You state.

"We know that dummy." Seulgi states. "We just needed to make sure he doesn't bother you while you're with Taehyung at the party. You said it yourself, he had his opportunity to go with you and didn't take it."

You let out a soft sigh before shaking your head.

"That wasn't smart because knowing my luck, he's going to say something to Taehyung." You state. The two shake their heads immediately. "Also, what are we? Five? That's the stupidest idea ever!"

"No, he won't." Seulgi states. "He'll be too busy with Yuqi anyway."

"If you're scared about that happening, you could just stop by for a little appearance, talk to some people then leave with Taehyung. That way you two won't get questioned." Sunmi adds. "Also, give us some credit. Seulgi may be a good liar but not when she's not prepared."

You glance back at Lucas, seeing that he's already staring at you. When he sees you looking back at him, he smiles widely, waving over at you. You give him an uncomfortable grin before turning back around to face the front of the room.

"Yeah, we'll just leave early." You state before letting out a soft sigh. "Next time, I'd much rather you two just tell Lucas that I'm just going with you two."

"But that would've made you look rude because you said no to him." Sunmi states.

"Honestly, if something like that would've made him think I was rude despite the amount of times I've given him notes and homework, then he's a moron." You state. The two look at each other, growing quiet for a second as the professor starts the lesson for the day.

While you're taking notes, the two become intrigued by how Taehyung's changing you.

You, however, are thinking about a way to possibly tell Taehyung what your friends did so that it doesn't make the situation awkward.

After all, communication is what prevents stupid shit from happening.

~~~~~

You let out a soft sigh as you wait outside.

You're now standing in front of the entrance to the dorms, by the parking lot. As you stand there, you grow cold, shoving your hands into your pockets as you look around.

"God, where is he?" you ask while looking around, eyes and ears alert for any sign of a motorcycle.

As you begin to shiver, you eventually hear the sound of a roaring engine. This causes you to turn your head towards the direction of the sound.

You smile to yourself before reaching your hand up to wave at Taehyung as he approaches on his motorcycle.

He parks the bike directly in front of you before putting it into park, slipping his helmet off. He grins in your direction before gesturing for you to hop on. You don't hesitate to walk over to him, hand already reached out as you wait for him to hand you the helmet to wear.

Once the helmet is on your head, you straddle the bike and rest your hands on Taehyung's waist. He glances back at you for a second.

"So, no dates today?" he questions. You let out a soft laugh and shake your head.

"I told you the next time I call you would be to hang out with you, not to hire you as my bad date bodyguard." You state. This causes Taehyung to laugh before he slips his helmet back on.

"Alright. Where to then?" You shrug your shoulders before glancing around.

"Well, I've been choosing the places the last few times..." you say before drifting off. "How about you choose this time?" You lean to the side to look over at him. He contemplates for a few seconds before you can see the lightbulb going off in his mind. His eyes light up before he begins to drive out of the parking lot, balancing as he zooms through the traffic on the streets.

You look around at the buildings, billboards, and tourists as the two of you zoom past. While looking around, you slowly begin to smile as you feel the wind in your hair. You lean back a little on the bike, letting out a squeal of excitement as he speeds up.

While driving, he glances back at you before letting out a soft laugh, shaking his head.

"You always act like it's your first time while on this bike." He states. You let out a laugh as he says this before nodding your head.

"Because the thrill of this never goes away." You state before letting out another squeal. "You're telling me that the rush of adrenaline that you get on this bike eventually fades away?" he smiles his boxy smile before glancing back at you for a second as the two of you pull up to a red light.

"It eventually goes away but seeing other people reacting like you makes it come back sometimes." He states before laughing and zooming past the light once it turns green. He then pulls into a parking lot.

As you look at your surroundings, you see that there are multiple different businesses in this area. There's a cosmetologist office, a small restaurant, a furniture store, and a shop containing a lot of ceramics.

You tilt your head to the side as you stare over at the different places. Tilting your head to the side, you then look over at Taehyung as he takes his helmet off. You take yours off as well before getting off of the bike, stepping onto the sidewalk.

"So, which place are we going into?" you question while looking at the four buildings. He then looks over at you before shrugging his shoulders.

"You're starting to get to know me, right?" you nod. "Take a wild guess."

"Hm... well, considering the fact that you're an artistic, old-fashioned kind of guy," you say before turning around to fully face the buildings now. Taehyung stares at your back as he listens intently to you. "I'm going to guess the ceramics store?" He grins.

"Ding ding ding." He states before getting off of his motorcycle. He then places the helmet onto one of the handlebars before getting up. "However, you are wrong about one thing. It's not just a ceramics store. It's a place where you can purchase the ceramics or you can take a lesson and paint one for the day.

"Ah, I'm warning you, I'm very messy with arts and crafts." You state before pointing down at the leather seat on his motorcycle. "You might want to ask them if they sell any towels or something so that way I don't get paint on the seat." You state. This causes him to immediately furrow his eyebrows.

"Tell me, Y/N, how are you going to get paint on your ass?" he questions. You gesture for him to step closer. He does. You then gesture inside of the building, showing the little kids inside causing you to believe this. He raises his eyebrows before nodding his head. "Ah, I thought you were just really messy." You grin over at him before shaking your head.

"The only time I'm messy is with my love life clearly." You state before letting out a laugh. He shakes his head before the two of you make your way towards the entrance.

Upon stepping inside, the two of you immediately notice the contrast of the colorful, messy artwork the children are working on and the white, untouched ceramic pieces sitting on the wall. Upon seeing this, the two of you then make eye contact and laugh for a second before going to the shelves to start choosing the ceramics you want to paint.
