"I can't believe he is easily forgiven for everything! He has caused our club numbers of missed opportunities from last year!" J. Hope stumps his feet on the ground as he face the theatre group who somehow agrees with him. The assembly is over and Sana is eager to leave in order to catch up with the cheerleading squad as she promised to Nayeon. "Don't worry nothing is forgiven, yet." a serious tone comes to approach the group and Sana's eyes widened. It's Taehyung. "I'm not gonna rely on the mercy of the Superintendent, I know I have a lot to fix from last year." with Taehyung's calm and collected attitude his aura becomes similar with the Superintendent and everyone can feel that, but there is an addition to his attitude. "I can't believe you're still cocky." J. Hope stated. "And I can't believe you weren't able to snatch the club master position from me even when I already fucked up real bad." Taehyung answers him. Students were stunned, yet excited for the confrontation. "Is he going to punch him again? God he is so hot-headed." Sana quietly thought. But he didn't flinch though, Taehyung remains calm "Don't worry Ho Seok you'll get your chance this year." he said loud enough for everyone to hear. "As usual we will have presentations in the festival this year, maybe if your performance is better than mine then you can have the position." Taehyung challenges him. "Whoa really? I've been preparing for this year's presentation since summer!" J. Hope feels the thrill. He has been eyeing for the position for 2 years now, but none of them can really compare with Taehyung and his piano skills. "Bring it on!" J. Hope agrees with contentment. Sana quietly makes her way to the exit after the commotion when she hears Taehyung caling her out. "Hey new girl!" he addresses her but she pretends she didn't hear him and quickens her pace into the wrong direction. Taehyung runs after her, inconvenienced, back into the school's hallways. "Minatozaki Sana!" he shouts her name out of frustration. "What does he wants? It's so annoying to see his hot-headed face again after he shoved me into my own bed last time." she thinks as she halts and slowly turns to face him. However, Kim Taehyung's is not the only pair of eyes she catches on, there are a few students in the hallway who is adamantly waiting for their next step.
"Where do you think you're going?" Taehyung shouts at her again as he continues to approach her. Heat and panic rushes into her blood, feeling the embarrassment from other people's stares.


"Why are you shouting? I'm off to the cheerleading squad assembly." Sana whispers at him trying to lie low. "Don't run from me ever again!" Taehyung sounds so commanding even when he's slightly catching up his breath. He then drags Sana outside of the hallways and into the garden, just at the back of the auditorium. The other student's can't help but to follow them with gaze. "Why are we here?" Sana annoyingly asks him. She looks around and the back garden is beautiful filled of colorful flowers, but she doesn't seem to appreciate the view as she is more worried that they are alone. "Oh no, no one's around. I hope whatever it is he's able to control his temper." Sana exhales deeply avoiding to look at him. "Two clubs? Ambiguous." he smirks at her. "You're a ballerina right? That's why you're in my club" he asks. "Yeah. I'm training in ballet." she hesitated to respond but she has no choice as she feels trap now. Taehyung brushes his hair away from his face when he reached her, he glistens as the sun shines on his perfect face as it begins to set. Sana looks at him. "I am no longer surprised that he's good looking too, but I still can't stand him!"

"And I've read that you're good." he stated. "I guess so. How did you know that? And how did you know my name?" she widens her eyes at him. " I've read your profile...I think you're good enough." Taehyung commented.. "Good enough for what?" Sana asks him confused. "Good enough... to be my new pet." he said with a sly smile. "Excuse me?!" she scoffs at him. "I'm kidding... I'd like you to be my new assistant. Club president is a big responsibility, I hate to admit it but I can't do it all alone." Taehyung lays down his offer. "You want me to be your assistant? No freaking way!" Sana is baffled with his suggestion. She is ready to run away from him again when Taehyung slips out a folded paper from his blazer pocket. "Actually, I kind of went ahead of you and you can't do anything about it now." he handed her the paper, appointing her as the official secretary of the Music and Arts Club with the signature of the Superintendent at the bottom. Sana's jaw dropped. "What like the Superintendent just gives you anything you want now?" Sana looms at her name printed in the paper. "When you're part of the Elite Five. Now, now it won't be that bad. You just got extra work on your hands and you get to follow me around, whenever and wherever I want." Taehyung makes it harder for her. "Secretary of the Music and Arts Club, it means I will be working with him, we will see each other often and I won't be able to avoid him. I'm tied to him now. If this is punishment for my fainting and disrupting the ceremony, this is a bit much." Sana can't move a muscle. Taehyung reaches out for his phone. "Give me your number, I want you on call." his voice is stern and commanding. "I don't want to do this. Why me?" Sana demands an explanation. Taehyung just walks past her, trailing his feet onto the vacant marble bench, arguing with Sana just makes him more exhausted . He takes a seat inhaling the fresh air and this time Sana is the one who runs after him. He leans his neck on the back of the bench and closes his eyes. Dark lines formed as he has not slept well for days preparing for his comeback. "Give the position to someone else!" Sana yells at him but this time it is more like begging. Taehyung can no longer control himself and chuckles. "Yah is this fun to you?" Sana confronts him. "Fun? I haven't had fun for such a long time." Taehyung admits as he opens his eyes looking at the pinkish sky. "Does he mean since Dahyun died?" Sana kept it to herself. "Aniyo~ I'm very serious." he eyes at her. "I think you're the only one I can trust for now, since you're new. I have done reckless things in the past year, I gained more enemies. " he explains to her. "Oh believe me you also pisses me off. You shove me in my own bed the first time we met!" Sana makes her point. Taehyung deeply inhales as he vaguely remembers the incident. He mistakes her for Dahyun and when he realized it's not her, anger and emotions swept in his head. That was his turning point. That was the moment he realized how fucked up he is and needed to get his shit together. "Oh that... I barely remember anything about that night but I may have mistaken you for someone else. I'm sorry.." his tone remains stern but his face hinted of sadness. Just then Sana remembers what Jin had said. "Kim Taehyung blames himself for the death of his cousin Kim Dahyun. His sadness droves him to lose himself. He may have a lot of thought on how to fix the things he broke but still... he's lost. We may not be off to a great start but I might still get something from him about Dahyun." Sana thought. "By the way... that wasn't our first encounter." Taehyung comments, making Sana remember the night he catches her at the Lighting Ceremony and the pictures of her in his arms. "Right...but still..." she blushed in the thought but still feels intensely awkward. She has a lot of energy to protest but Taehyung cut her short. "The appointment says so and its final!" he stands up to leave and chooses to be stubborn. "Maybe this is the reason why some people hates you. You'll do everything to get your way don't you?" Sana stomps her foot on the ground again, making him stop and face her. "Everything in my way huh? I thought I should take it easy on you since you're new, but seeing how stubborn you're getting just now maybe I should really treat you like a pet then." he teases her with a sly smile. "You remind me of Garfield with that tangerine hair. Should I start calling you kitty?" he teases her more, triggering her. "You're unbelievable!" Sana replies defeated. The beautiful surroundings and the lovely sunset is put to shame as they continue to bicker. The sun has completely sat and dark clouds are slowly enveloping the sky. He waits for her at the French glass doors separating the hallways from the garden. Taehyung handed her his phone again and his face lit up when she took it and started to type in her number. "Fine. I'll do it. I'll be your secretary. But you can't call me kitty." Sana didn't bother to fight him more. "I'll make sure I get something out of this." Sana thought. "Good girl. Expect that I'll call you soon." Taehyung assures her before opening the door to leave.
