10| "A kiss so raw" 

Taehyung hadn't kissed her yet and she was already crumbling. Plunging in a bizarre zap of emotions. 

"You hate me." Her voice held no power, it was shrinking and gripping around her throat, cramping the muscles as she gaped at Taehyung like a complete loon. The male seemed so casual and calm as if he just didn't contrive a tide of hysterical sensations around her limbs. 

"I might hate you but you are mine. We are tied, connected, and bonded." Crazy, he sounded utterly crazy and some frenzied and bewilder part of her heart hummed in agreement. 

"He is assaulting my brain. Imma zone out very quick." She mumbled.

Her stomach clenched tightly, there was a genuine fire twirling in those golden pools. Nina's eyes frantically flickered every inch of his devilish face, hoping to find the trace of taunt but she got nothing that could help her to walk out from him— he was absolutely serious. 

"What do you wanna prove by saying all of these?" Nina flung her hands in the air in profound frustration, her eyes dilated.

He was one of the self-righteous, pompous pricks that she had ever met. He was getting on her last nerves. Would it be too much if she pushed him out of the building?

"I'm just reminding you, so you can't forget this. My little red riding hood belongs to me." A tenacious swirl in his eyes, the corner of his lip lifted for a fervent smirk, slacking his jaw as he straightened his lean body, shoving his hands inside his pockets. Appearing tall, fainéant and complicated. 

This guy, she craved him so much and sometimes she loathed him at the mount of insanity. Nina wanted to weep, why was he gazing at her as if she was the most divine thing in this world? Why did he have to spew those ferocious words to shatter her soul? Nina didn't want to believe him, he might be lying, he might want to humiliate her, mock her. She wanted to run away and hide somewhere away from him where his witchy eyes couldn't chase her. 

Kim Taehyung was the wolf in the sheep clothing, he would mercilessly devour Nina raw if she allowed him. Taehyung was the one who will be the demise of her, her devastation and she was aware that he was going to efficiently wreck her world. She better stay away from him. 

Nina's nerves were squashing destructively, her lungs were quivering in the need to breathe. And it was so sick to hear, but she loved listening to the sound of his guttural voice and kept calling Nina his. It was like sweet poison surging in her ears, singing her heart to life. 

"Why are you like this?" She snarled, her fingertips were unsteady due to animosity.

"Sexy demigod ?" Taehyung lazily drawled an impudent twist in his ruddy mouth to thunder blood in her ears.

"Demigod, yes but fucked up." Nina corrected him, chirping like a bird. Face blank. "And do you know, once a fucked up boy is always a fucked up boy. Can't expect anything good from you Taehyung." The said male snorted a low laugh, the sound was unsettling and bare of humour.

"Do you want your hoodie or not? Otherwise this time I'll burn it in front of your eyes." Taehyung growled out gravelly, feeling the out-and-out gratification exuding down to his nerves on seeing the all colour draining from her face. 

"Fine, first my hoodie." The red-haired girl gritted out, tossing stung eyes at him as he nodded. 

"Fine. Wait here." Nina eyed him coolly ambling past her, their shoulders skimmed for a brief second as he sluggishly opened the door and walked out. A choking breath abandoned her arid mouth, something swelled beneath her chest, something fueled her sentiments, something sored her guts. Staying around him would be dangerous for her, so before he would be back, she should leave.

"Oh yes." Nina twirled on her heels, only to find Taehyung standing in front of her, eye to eye and forehead touching. Wait, how did he get here so fast? Nina's throat clogged with combust exasperation. 

"Aw, was the princess trying to sneak away?" Taehyung bellowed, upper lip curling into a sneer as he arched his smug brows. He wasn't appreciating her attitude, because all it was pressing the wrong buttons of his body. Couldn't she be obedient to him?

Nina yelped when he tossed her hoodie over her face, as the girl innocently flashed her doe-like eyes at him, startling something under his rib cage. 

"I missed you. You pretty thing." The corner of her lips tugged down as she jutted her lower lip out and hugged her red hoodie. She looked so adorable, and all Taehyung wanted to do was call her pout gross. 

A gross pout that Taehyung wanted to lick. 

Taehyung watched her slipping the hoodie over her head and the outlines of her breasts were evident over her white shirt, her semi-erect nipples pressing against the fabric, coaxing him. Taehyung cleared his throat, feeling the muscles of his jaw clenching taut, his hormones were rumbling, his vile heart was on the verge of exploding. And the sparkle of her inky eyes was greatly hypnotic. The smile that Nina wore could make the star pluck from the sky and fall on the ground for her. 

Nina Wang was a delectable, supernal beauty and very few could treasure her. Taehyung had a feeble desire to corrupt the beauty and left her in ruins. 

"Okay bye." She was quick to turn and about to yeet out of the place but Taehyung was quick to grab her upper arm and hauled her closer to him. She didn't realise when her back collided with the wall.

"Kiss me." Taehyung breathed out against her wobbly mouth, and his undertone was so smokey and intense, she felt naked under his gaze.

Nina was a sappy, butterflies type of girl, sucker for romance and would only kiss the boy who she loved— and Nina wanted to kiss this Jerk so badly. There wasn't a single day that she hadn't imagined his mouth. Would he taste like mints that he always chewed or cherry lollipops that occasionally attached between his pillowy lips or bitter just like his douchebag personality.

"No." she wanted to kiss those lips. But kissing him means allowing a dagger to slide under her chest and let it twist and rattle there. . . extremely painful. 

"Don't back away from your words, I hate when someone does that." Looking at Taehyung you would know that he was an unruly guy who got whatever he yearned for. Taehyung seemed so freaking done and desperate.

"I don't care about it, blockhead." Nina tried to free herself from his grip, he wasn't looking delighted by her tone. A current coursed through her veins when Taehyung wholly pressed himself against her, smashing her between him and the wall. 

"A deal is a deal." He chided out, voice penetrating.

"This deal doesn't make any sense, you are just returning my hoodie that you stole, you don't deserve anything in return." 

Taehyung didn't steal the hoodie, it was some girls from their class and Taehyung had heard them plotting to cut the hoodie into pieces and would put it in Nina's locker to mortify her. Taehyung just snatched the hoodie from them with a polite smile, captivating them— he had no idea why he had done that, he just did it and Nina didn't need to know that. 

"Princess." He spoke against her ear, his searing breath caressing the shell of her ears. "Come on, kissing me won't blister your lips." A flirty rasp in his voice diminished Nina's equanimity, his index softly brushed away some strands of her hair falling over her face.

"But it will blister every inch of my heart for sure." Nina wanted to let him know, but she couldn't, it would be better if she would be tight-lipped about her bleeding emotions. 

"Fine." One kiss wouldn't harm her right?

She pecked the corner of his mouth, blanking Taehyung's face and rocketing her looney heart.

"You call this kiss?" Taehyung scoffed tauntingly. " It seems like I have to teach you. Focus and learn, though I'm not even preparing you for some other guy, you know why?" A sinister curl on his wanting mouth as he effortlessly hoisted her up by her waist and wrapped her legs around high above his hips, nuzzling her body between the wall and his taut figure.

"What the hell?" Nina exhaled her rugged breaths, grabbing his shoulders and triceps to clung onto him like a spider monkey. "Because I'm yours?" She narrowed her eyes, wishing that her gaze would turn into the conflagration and singed him into ashes. 

"I hate you." Nina's fingers pressed against his taut shoulders, her eyes stealing eager glances of his mouth.

"Then hate me properly, Red." With that, he claimed her mouth, the way he wanted— hard, rough and sloppy. 

Their mouths sizzled together, and the desire deep within them hissed. Before Nina could understand, could grasp the overflowing emotions, her lips parted as he gave her a lustful, savagery kiss, suckling her lower lip into his mouth. It was a fierce, salacious kiss, creating cold damp in her panties. 

The girl whimpered out, her fingers slipping in his hair, tangling and tousling it as her breasts stroked against his chest, chasing the friction. Taehyung sweep his tongue on her lower lip and she craved his tongue sweeping between her legs, stroking to ease the fiery sensation. Nina's lip parted to welcome his treacherous tongue to toyed with hers, all the while her thoughts screeched to a halt and she let Taehyung lead the kiss, she let him thrust his tongue deep into her throat, she let him listen to her moans. 

Taehyung peeked through his lashes, kissing her was a drug that rushed through his veins. Kissing her means losing control over his emotions. The craving that he had shut inside him had been blown up the moment he saw her with someone else.

He shouldn't crave this girl that he hated so much but the desire for her was maddening, Nina wang was his lucid, wanton fantasy. She didn't need to know that, it was his fantasy so it was none of her business.

They pulled away, panting hard, eyes clouding with lust, body thrumming with leching sensations. Then she pushed him away harshly and climbed on her feet with heated cheeks. 

"The deal is over, don't you dare to come close to me." She fixed her skirt, grumbling while glaring at the ground.

"And you don't give your lips to someone else who is not me." Nina snapped her head at him, her eyes doubling at their actual size. The guy was unbelievable, he was claiming her against her will without knowing that her heart was eradicated into pieces, falling right against his feet.

"Well, I was thinking that I'll make you wet and won't give you the pleasure that you want. That would be so nice. Or I'll screw another girl in front of you and make you understand that you can't be the one who would get a chance to warm my dick and bed." Taehyung slanted his head sideways, a boyish smile illuminating his swollen lips— so charming yet so evil.

Nina's jaw locked as she glared at him hard, appearing firm but deep down she was desperate to bawl her eyes out until her crying ability would go numb. The mockery, that was he had called her. That's what she was for him, easy to hurt, easy to corrupt. 

Taehyung's lips coiled into a furious snarl when she said nothing and made a weak attempt to walk away. 

"Hey, you got angry." Taehyung chuckled, grabbing her arm and pressing her back against the wall. She gasped, savouring the anger rolling in her mouth. Her fist was prickling to hit across his nose. And the insane power Taehyung held over her, it felt like she would dissolve any moment under his fingers.

"I don't want to stay around you any second, you are a disgusting bastard." Nina's eyes wavered, tears tingling the corner of her eyes. 

"You shared your breaths with this disgusting bastard." Taehyung gripped her chin, tilting her face up as he gaped into her glossy eyes. "You let this disgusting bastard stick his disgusting tongue down to your throat. You even moan for this disgusting bastard. You wanted this disgusting bastard. And if this disgusting bastard wanted to fuck you against the wall, you would let him do that like a bitch in fucking heat." Every toxin word plucking between his gritting teeth was a splinter of ice jabbing her throat.

"I don't wanna waste my time on you, just let my hand go!" 

"The useless fits, again? Why are acting innocent huh when you are fucking not!" Nina flinched by his rough tone, she never saw him that mad. 

"What rubbish are you spouting?" Nina's head was throbbing. "What do you wanna listen to huh? Do you want me to agree with you? Do you want me to accept that I'm yours after making my life a living hell? Do you think I'm some kind of toy for you? So listen carefully, Kim V Taehyung, I'm not yours, I'll never be yours." Taehyung just gaped at her, his brows ticking, lips pressing tightly into a thick line. 

"That kiss on the rooftop of your house and the kiss that we shared just a few minutes ago means nothing to me, absolutely nothing. I don't know why you are so insensitive, lousy and selfish. I don't know if you inherit this but just so you know the world doesn't revolve around you. You don't always get what you want Taehyung." So many emotions jingled along with her pearly bones, she was hurt, so hurt.

"I wish I'd never collided with you." Her voice was shaky, a quiver so potent that it smouldered her insides. 

"Trust me, the feeling is mutual." He grabbed her by the back of her neck and kissed her again. Their lips crashed and moulded as he took her lower lip in his mouth, rolled his tongue on the tender flesh then tugged it forward between his teeth.

The kiss wasn't something tender and pure, the kiss was the declaration of their war against each other.

Their eyes were glaring at the dark alley of their soul, his eyes were molten gold, so gorgeous that it was unbearable for Nina to even glance at. So she shoved him and walked away, she was this close to teared up but she would not cry, not at least for him— he didn't deserve her tears.

Nina had to get out with the disease that was consuming her mind and heart for years, a disease that had no healing— Kim Taehyung.

Nina's eyes rolled around the hallway, searching the face of a particular person and she found him leaning against a locker, scrolling in his mobile.

"Fine, he wanted me to stay away from Ji-hoon huh? You don't own me, bastard. You can't control me." Nina growled under her breath, the veins around her neck throbbing as she confidently walked toward the male. Nina couldn't let her crave for Taehyung turn into her weakness, her naive heart had to understand this thing. 

"Ji-hoon." Nina stood in front of him, as the said male straightened up, his eyes glowed up by her presence. She looked at her right side, watching Taehyung who had his eyes narrowed into thick slits.

"You asked me to go out with you right? I'm free tomorrow evening." And upon hearing that a broad smile caressed Ji-hoon lips and he couldn't help but engulf her for a hug.

Nina dared to flicker her gaze at Taehyung, whose face was empty but his jaw was locked. He was so mad. She had to put a full stop to his fuckery, he was too proud, his ego was too loud and she had to crash it down— right under her feet.

Taehyung thought that the goal-oriented, read-haired beauty belonged to him and she had to prove him wrong.  

"You shouldn't do that, Red. You shouldn't." Taehyung flashed Nina a smile, dropping her stomach instantly. Because that smile alone was so manic.
