Chapter 3: Who is he ?

———————————————————
The professor continued to babble on about the already quite obvious rules : no provocative outfits , arrive on time , hand in work efficiently and to  a good standard ... BLAH BLAH BLAH. Everything just became one big blur to Taehyung as he was already tired of the professors voice droning into his eardrums . He rested his cheek in the palm of his slender hand whilst tapping his leg up and down to ease his mixed feelings of both nervousness and boredom. 'Please just let this be over soon' he begged. He looked over to see Jimin writing down notes on what the professor was saying. 'Wow this guy must really be keen huh. I guess he really is an angel in disguise' he thought to himself with a soft smile.

As Taehyung was zoning out into his own imaginative world, the doors situated at the front of the lecture hall had swung open and in walked a mysterious figure dressed in all black from head to toe. All heads turned towards the unknown boy as he made his way into the hall, bowing slightly towards the professor before he scanned the area for an empty seat. His eyes landed on the seat in the far back row of the hall. He proceeded to make his way over to the seat all while sensing the students eyes burning into the back of his skull for disrupting the introduction lecture.

Taehyung let out a loud gulp as his attention was now on the masked boy who was heading in his direction.

"I'm guessing this seat is free? Correct?" the masked boy said in a hushed tone to not furthermore disturb those around them. His voice was so different to Jimin's , it was more rough and husky. It sent a cool shiver down Taehyung's spine.

"Y-yeah" Taehyung quietly responded , almost in a questioning manner.

'Fuck I stuttered. Why did I stutter?!' He wanted to slap himself for not being able to respond a simple word towards the boy without stuttering. 'Stupid anxiety' he angrily thought to himself.

"Well aren't I lucky. I'm surprised this seat is empty, especially when such a pretty boy is sat right next to it" the dark haired boy responded while brushing past Taehyung's legs to seat himself in the chair next to him.

"W-what?" Taehyung managed to stumble out as he felt his cheeks begin to flush a tone of red and his ears begin to burn. 'Did I hear correctly!? Did he really just say that??'

"What?" the boy responded calmly, almost in a mocking tone.

By the tone of his voice, Taehyung could tell that he was hiding a devilish smirk behind that mask of his but nonetheless he tried his best to ignore the boy next to him and averted his attention back to the professor.

After a further 5 minutes of rambling about the step up between college and university from the professor, Taehyung could see the boy fidgeting with his mask in his peripheral vision. He tried to stay focused on the powerpoint in front of him but couldn't help but notice how the once masked boy had now taken his mask off , revealing his ever so enticing features.

Taehyung's breath hitched and it felt as though his heart skipped a beat as he continued to watch the boy from the corner of his eye. He ruffled his fluffy dark brown hair which fell ever so perfectly onto his face, falling just above his big doe eyes. His side profile was just breathtaking, his nose sloped so perfectly , a skier would find it ideal and feel lucky to find such a beautiful structure . His lips looked full, slightly chapped but still pretty nonetheless. His ears were covered in piercings but he managed to make it look good. He wondered how a boy could portray such ethereal beauty.

"It's rude to stare you know" the now unmasked boy said with a similar tone to before, his grin now visible.

"I- I wasn't staring" Taehyung tried to bite back his embarrassment but his cheeks flushed a now crimson red. He unconsciously tapped his leg faster as he felt a wave of anxiety flood his entire body. How could he be so silly as to get caught staring at the boy sat a few centimetres away from him.
'Damn it Tae' he shamefully thought to himself.

After what felt like years later due to the sheer amount of embarrassment that took over Taehyung's body, the lecture was now over. Everyone was dismissed from their seats and the students flooded to get out of the hall as quickly as possible. Taehyung and his new friend Jimin had packed up their belongings and we're about to leave when the dark haired boy said one last thing that caught Taehyungs attention..

"I hope to see you around , pretty boy" He pulled up his mask, covering his prepossessing features and just like that - he walked off.

'I didn't even get his name' Taehyung pondered to himself and he and Jimin left the building.
