My mother said I'm too romantic
She said, "You're dancing in the movies"
I almost started to believe her
Then I saw you and I knew

Maybe it's all that I've been through

28 year old Kim Taehyung, sitting in his apartment, absent-mindendly stroking his golden retriever baby's head, looked at the screen of his phone. The reflection showed black hair, dark, tired eyes, and the serious expression of his lips.
Had he changed much from the boy he was then?
A brief bitter-sweet smirk appeared on his face. Maybe his appearance had changed... Become more mature, sharper, more manly...

The corridors were filled with the loud voices of chatting students, the sound of books being turned quickly, occasional bursts of laughter. Groups of girls were immersed in their own world, boys were busy talking, but the teenager was locked in his own bubble, cut off from his surroundings.
He paid no attention to anything around him, or rather, he didn't care. He kept his head down, finding the neat floors more interesting than the people around him.
What he didn't notice, or didn't want to acknowledge, was that the people around him were muttering to themselves as they looked at his passing figure. Kim Taehyung attracted attention, even if he tried very hard not to. He walked along paths he already knew by memory, passing corridors until he entered his classroom, glancing at his wrist watch. There were more than fifteen minutes left before the period was to begin.
For the first time since entering the school, he stepped into the classroom and looked up to find his seat. An expression of displeasure appeared on his face when he saw the unusual sight. Furrowing his eyebrows he moved towards his seat.
'This is my seat,' Taehyung said monotonously to the new face sitting in his seat and brazenly holding his feet up on the writing pad.
This drew the attention of the new face, as well as the students around him. The person slowly swept his eyes over Taehyung's figure, as if surprised that someone wanted something from him.
