You're now in class, waiting for Seulgi and Sunmi to walk in. It's two days after the last bad date with Felix.

You have your laptop open in front of you as you wait for the lecture to start.

While opening your notes for class, you feel a pair of eyes staring at you. Glancing up, you look around to identify who's looking at you.

You see a guy staring over at you. He smiles when you make eye contact with him. You grin before looking back at your laptop, not in the mood to converse with anyone.

"Hi." You hear, causing you to take a deep breath, already annoyed that the man now wants to speak to you. You lick your lips for a moment before looking up at the man.

"Hi." You say before looking back at your laptop.

Next thing you know, he's now sitting next to you where Seulgi normally sits.

"So, what's your major?" he questions.

"Architecture." You state. "You?" you say, clearly uninterested in a conversation with this man.

"I'm studying finance." He states. "You're very pretty. Why haven't I seen you in my classes before until now?"

"I'm always with my friends, so it could be that." You state before going to type on your laptop to set up the notes for today's lesson. He smiles over at you before shrugging.

"Possibly. I'm Carson." He states. You look over at him and nod. "What's your name?"

"Y/N." you say before looking over at the entrance to the lecture hall. Seulgi and Sunmi are walking into the room. "My friends are here, so could you please move for them?" you ask.

The man looks over before shaking his head, smiling.

"Not until I get your number." He states. This causes you to immediately roll your eyes before you write down a fake number.

"You're in my seat. Move." Seulgi bluntly states.

"Okay, jeez. Sorry. I was getting Y/N's number." Seulgi arches an eyebrow before looking over at you. Once he's getting up, you mouth the word 'fake' so she knows you didn't actually give him your number. "I'll text you later, Y/N. Maybe we can meet at my dorm later and have some fun." He smirks down at you.

This causes you to let out an annoyed sigh. Seulgi immediately laughs.

"You're a pig." Sunmi states, shooing him away as he walks away. Sunmi and Seulgi sit next to you.

"He's disgusting." Seulgi states. "I'm relieved that you gave him a fake number." She whispers to you to make sure he doesn't feel.

"Yep, saves you from another bad date." Sunmi states.

"Eh, I'd still count that as a bad date." Seulgi sasses. "I mean, you didn't go on a date with him but still, you had to tolerate being annoyed for however long he was talking to you for."

You let out a soft laugh. Shaking your head, you look back down at your laptop.

"Hey Seulgi, hey Sunmi, hey Y/N." you hear someone greet.

"Hey, Lucas." Seulgi greets, causing you to snap your head up in his direction.

"Hi." You say. He gives you a quick smile before making his way towards his friend group. You watch as he walks over there before letting out a soft sigh.

"You're drooling." Sunmi states, causing you to widen your eyes before reaching your hand up. You wipe your index finger across the side of your mouth. This causes Seulgi to laugh.

"Not literally." She says before shaking her head. "This guy really has her losing it, doesn't he?" she questions. Sunmi nods in agreement before letting out a soft laugh.

The two continue to tease you until your professor walks into the lecture hall. She begins the lecture and eventually, the topic of Lucas goes away once the three of you focus on class.

~~~~~

You're now walking through the campus to get back to your dorm room. Glancing around, you take a look at the scenery. Letting out a relaxed sigh, you eventually get to the entrance of the dorms.

"Hey! It's Y/N!" you hear a male voice, causing you to look around, now fully alert of your surroundings.

Oh no.

The annoying prick from earlier.

You don't even play along by pretending to be nice. Turning around, you rush to get into the building. He quickly chases after you as you quickly get into the building.

"Y/N! Wait up!" you shake your head and continue walking.

He continues to harass and chase you until you get to Sunmi's dorm room. You quickly knock on the door, looking behind you as you grow nervous while hearing his annoying voice echoing throughout the halls.

Sunmi opens the door, yawning while looking at you.

"Y/N, why are you-"

"Creepy guy from class, hide me." you frantically speak as you push past her into her room.

The guy storms down the hallway before eventually leaving. You let out a sigh of relief as you no longer hear his annoying voice.

"Whoa, okay, want to catch me up on what's going on?" Sunmi states. "I was still sleeping since I don't have class for another hour."

"He saw me walking back to the dorm and then followed me in here like a stalker." You state. Sunmi widens her eyes.

"Well, shit. Thank goodness we live in the same building." She then sighs before shaking her head. You nod.

"Is it okay if I hang out here for a little bit just so I can make sure he's gone and I can get safely to my dorm?" you question. She nods before stepping towards the bathroom.

"Sure, I have to get ready for class though so don't leave without telling me so I know you're safe." You nod your head when she says this. She grins before grabbing her towel and closing the bathroom door behind her.

You sigh and stare over at the TV while waiting for it to be clear so you can go outside.

After about thirty minutes, Sunmi's getting out of the bathroom.

"Do you know if he's gone?" she questions.

"I didn't want to check while you were in the bathroom in case he tried to get into the room or something." You state. She nods before gesturing towards the door.

"You can check now that I'm out of the bathroom." She states. You nod your head before you peek your head out of the door really quickly, not seeing him or hearing his voice.

"Okay, I think I'm good to go." You state before looking back at Sunmi. "Thank you so much. You're a lifesaver."

"The hallway isn't completely empty right?" she questions. You nod your head.

"There was a few people out there so I can get to my floor safely." You state. She nods and then gestures towards her phone.

"Text me when you get there, alright?" You nod before stepping out of her room to make your way towards the elevator.

Once at the elevator, you push the button and wait.

Luckily for you, you made it through that hallway safely without running into him.

However, you're not as lucky as you could be.

He's in the elevator as you go to step into it.

You widen your eyes before quickly turning around to go to the stairs.

"Y/N, why are you running away? You gave me your number so we could fuck tonight." He states.

"No, I gave you a fake number because you're a pig and I wanted to get you away from me." you state before hearing two voices in the hallway. You quickly make your way towards those two voices, not caring who they belong to. You can't be alone with this guy because you can already tell he's weird.

As you rush towards the sound of the voices, he follows behind you.

Approaching the two voices, you're shocked to see Taehyung standing with a shorter man standing next to him. Taehyung's eyebrows raise as he sees you before he then looks up, seeing the man chasing you. His eyes look back at you once again, seeing the panic in your face and he immediately grabs your hand, pulling you towards him.

You stumble as he does this but he's able to catch your fall.

The man on the other side of him is confused. Taehyung utters a quick 'I'll explain later' before embracing you into a tight hug.

"There you are, beautiful." Taehyung says with your head now rested on his shoulder as he hugs you. "I've been looking everywhere for you, Y/N. Yoongi and I were just about to go to your dorm so you can meet the rest of my friends."

"Oh, h-hi." You say. You don't see Taehyung's face but you can already tell he's giving the man chasing you a glare.

"And you," he states to the man, causing his eyes to widen. "Why exactly are you chasing my girlfriend down the hallway? I ought to call the cops on you for harassing her." You can hear the anger in his voice.

"O-oh, she's taken?" the other man asks. "I had no idea she was in a relationship. She had me under the impression that she was interested."

In your mind, you're immediately questioning his logic and IQ. You never gave any signals that you were interested in him.

"No, I didn't." you can't contain your thoughts. "I gave him a fake number." You tell Taehyung.

"Yoongi-hyung, take Y/N to the elevator and make sure she's safe while I call security and have him kicked out of this building." He gently lets go of you and directs you to go with his friend. You go without arguing and glance back, seeing Taehyung getting his phone out to call for the dorm security.

While you walk with his friend, you can see the confusion on his face and decide to speak up.

"Sorry for interrupting you two." You state. "I'm a friend of Taehyung's. He always seems to run into me whenever I have a creep hitting on me or in the middle of bad dates." You state. This causes the man to nod his head before glancing back, seeing that the other man has fled already.

You two wait by the elevator for Taehyung as he starts walking back.

"Ah, I knew your name sounded familiar." He states. "He's mentioned you before. Sorry to hear that you've had so many bad experiences with men."

Oh, great. More humiliation. As if seeing Taehyung wasn't enough.

"Sorry about that, hyung." Taehyung says as he approaches. "I always have to make sure she's safe." He says before smiling over at you.

"That one wasn't a date." You immediately explain. "I gave him a fake number, ran away, and even tried to hide in my friend's dorm room so he'd give up and leave. Apparently none of that worked." Taehyung laughs as you say this before shaking his head.

"God, the next guy you attract better not be a weirdo. You've had more weirdos in your dating life than the average person." He states. You laugh before shaking your head.

"Thank you for being my knight in shining armor again." You smile. "And thank you, Yoongi, for making sure I was safe too despite not knowing who I was. I'm Y/N, by the way, to formally introduce myself."

"I'm Yoongi, Taheyung's friend." He says before giving you a small grin. You nod your head before pointing towards the dorm rooms.

"So, are you living in the dorms, Taehyung?" you ask. He shakes his head.

"Ah, no, I just stopped by to see Yoongi-hyung." He says while pointing over at him. "I'm not in college right now. I'm working." You nod your head as he says this.

"Ah, okay." You state before smiling. "Well, thank you again. I have to get back up to my room to study. I'll see you around, Taehyung."

"Yes you will." He says before smiling. Him and Yoongi then go back to the direction they were heading off to while you get into the elevator with a wide smile on your face.

For someone who you're friends with, you don't know much about Taehyung.

However, one thing you know for sure is that he cares about you and wants you safe. That's all you can ask for from a friend.
