Serendipity🥀 [ON HOLD]

Chapter 9

"I am in the mood to dissolve in the sky"
-Virginia Woolf

Friday rolled in faster than I expected and here we are sitting at our lunch table, discussing a party I do not look forward to.

"What time are you girls coming to the party? Do want me to pick you up?" Jin directs his question to Ara.

"8ish I guess. No....it's okay, we wouldn't want to trouble you." She says tentatively glancing at me. I internally sighed in relief when she declined his offer.

"It won't be a problem. Taehyung is also there with me. So I'll pick ya up at 7, at your house right?" He asks pointing to me. I nervously look at Ara before hesitantly nodding my head. Its just a 10 min ride Eunji. Everything will be fine. I reassure myself. From across the table, Ara mouths are-you-okay to me to which I just give a curt nod.

"Eunji, how did you agree to come to the party? I thought you weren't coming." Jimin asks.

"Oh I wasn't but a certain someone over here managed to bribe me," I say squinting my eyes at Ara who was grinning proudly.

"C'mon Eunji you need to loosen up a bit and live your life. Every weekend you are immersed in your books. Take a break from those boring books." Ara said.

"Do not say anything to my books, you idiot," I say pointing at her. She raises her hand in mock surrender.

"Nerd" I heard Taehyung mumble. I turn around to smack him on his arm.

"I am so what?" I ask defensively.

"Why do you always have to hit me?" He said rubbing the spot I hit him on.

"Why do you always have to be so arrogant?" I retort.

"You are so annoying."

"Look who's talking, the most irritating person on the planet."

"If you kids do not shut up now I swear I am going to kick you both out from here. All I wanted to do was eat my lunch in peace. Now keep quiet." Yoongi raises his voice silencing us. I glare at Taehyung who glares back at me.

"Yes grandpa"
"Yes grandpa," we say at the same time.

"Can you stop copying me?" I glare at Taehyung.

"I call him grandpa. YOU stop copying me." He says glaring back.

"These guys are hopeless." Hobi sighs from beside me. "Let's go guys, they will come when they are done mentally killing each other.
Everyone starts going to their classes muttering how childish we were.

I get up to leave when a warm hand holds onto my wrist. I can swear I felt a zing go up to my arm. I was abruptly pulled to him.

"Don't think I forgot about the little stunt you pulled princess. I will get back at you." He says bending down to whisper near my ear. My breath hitches when his lips graze my ear. I stand there too shocked to register what he said. My thoughts clouded by his cologne.  I am brought out of my thoughts when I see him smirking at me.

I free my wrist from his hand and grab his collar down till he is at my eye level. He simply looks amused by my actions, his hands back on my wrist. I smirk at him as I whisper in his ear, "Bring it on." I smirked once more at him before flipping my hair over my shoulder and turning away. Once I am out of the cafeteria I put my hand on my chest to calm the racing heart. I do not know from where did I get the sudden confidence to do that. I mentally scolded myself for it.

Rest of the day I avoided Taehyung which was easy since we only met again in photography class. It wasn't difficult considering he skipped the class. A part of me was happy while another part kept thinking back to him.
