''You're pregnant?''

''No?''

''Oh, now we are lying to each other, huh?" Taehyung eyed up and down my body, shaking his head. He threw the plastic bag he was holding. ''Here's your mint ice cream. I guess it's pregnancy craving, since no one likes this flavor, but you.''

''Excuse me?'' I didn't even know how i was feeling while my eyes followed him. Frowning, he jumped on my bed.

''You are not excused.'' I blinked slowly. Once. Twice. Then i grabbed the spoon and threw it at him. ''So if I want to eat mint ice cream, I'm pregnant. Yeah? Sorry to ruin it for you, but this doesn't work like that.''

''Oh, fuck off. Your brother mentioned something about pregnant cow. I'm human. People get confused.'' He dipped his finger in my ice cream and licked it.

''Are you sure you are a human? And did you just call me a cow?''

Kim Taehyung. One of the most wanted boys in his college. As he said. And surprisingly my friend. We met exactly three months ago. In a park. And no, it wasn't some sweet talk or something like that. No. I was drawing in the center of the park, where a group of boys were making some jumps. Tae said it was parkour. Well, whatever that means, he couldn't do it. He fell, not that hard though. And it so happened that I had a patch to give him. He cried that he had broken his spine, in fact there was only a small scratch on his elbow.

Now we are friends. How? I'm still trying to figure it out.

''Anyway. Are you ready for you first year in Bright?'' He asked excited. Bright. The university of my dreams. They accepted me with a drawing, in the art department. Which means I have a scholarship. I made it to my dream school not with my money, but with hard work.

''Ouch, the fact that I have tons of money has nothing to do with my place in school.'' I felt my cheeks heat up. I must have been thinking out loud again. ''You were thinking out loud.''

And he was right, by the way. He liked, not liked, he loved photography. He had such a connection with the photos he took. And he was talented as fuck. Did I mention that he was a main photographer of Gucci too?

''I know, Tae Tae. I'm proud of you.'' He sent me a shy smile and crawled up to me. Wrapping his arms around my body, he buried his face in my neck.

''And i'm proud of you.''

I'm proud of you.

He's proud of me.

Of me.

The door slammed open and my brother entered the room lazily. ''What up, losers.''

''Who do you call a loser? I am member of OT7, you know?'' Tae replied with a smug smile. Ah, I see where we going.

''Never heard of that.''

He gasped and placed his hand on his forehead, dramatically. He looked like he was going to faint at any moment. ''I know your school sucks, but is it a rock? Everybody knows what OT7 is. Who we are.''

''I don't know either,'' I confessed. Now Taehyung really fell on the ground. It was fake, but real at the same time. ''but I guess I will find out tomorrow, and until then.. Who wants cupcakes?''

The whole house smelled of sweets. Surprisingly, Eddie was the one who wanted to make them, and now he was carrying them in a tray with a wide smile.

''YES CUPCAKE-''

''-s that are for my lovely sister. Hands off.'' Tae was ugly interrupted. The man felt something ripping his heart. A dagger. Betrayal.

''You made her cupcakes and not me?!''

Eddie just smirked at him and gave me a bite. The scene of two caring siblings was so heartwarming you must say.. until the actual bite. My eyes widened and I began to cough, grabbing my throat with my hand.

''Salt.'' I managed to say between the coughs. ''It's fucking salty, you idiot.''

Eddie turned all red. He was laughing so hard, as if he had made the funniest joke. He was pleased with himself. But not as pleased as he felt only a moment later, when a second cough filled the room. Tae had stuffed a whole cupcake in his mouth. And if i felt like the biggest fool seconds ago, now I am sure there is a bigger idiot than me.

It was only her first day, and Khai was late. She didn't overslept. No. She had barely slept. While her parents and brother slept peacefully, she was in her little black bubble, which had apparently returned.

The girl was absorbing the natural picture unfolding before her. The benches arranged at the perfect distance, the fountain resting in the center of everything, the trees surrounding the school and its space, in a small but perfect world. Even the trash cans caught Khai's attention, who thirsty swallowed every little thing, every detail. She felt her smile so wide.. and real. She felt a pleasure only by the sight, and how would she feel when she begin to create? Right here. Among the happy, inviting trees, under their shadow , deep and comfortable. Her heart pounded so hard, so fast, enthusiastically. She couldn't wait to taste the freedom that awaited her.
