House Of Cards

17:Barged In

Regular meditation was doing wonders, and at last, the nightmares had stopped too. She started putting back the weight she had lost and concentrated on completing her master's thesis. Occasionally, there were setbacks, but she always managed to bounce back and give it her all.

She began socializing more, discovering more about herself, and gradually regaining her confidence. Overcoming her fear of travel, she embarked on more trips and explored new experiences. It had been years since that difficult time, and though she wasn't in a relationship, she was becoming more open to the idea of new possibilities.

Just another day of me reminding you how beautiful you are. 
Here is the solution to the question you were stuck with
PS. I MISS YOUUUUUU

She chuckled at his messages, well aware of his flirtatious nature. Most of what he said was charming but lacked substance, yet she didn't mind playfully responding with equally flirty texts. It was all in good fun, and they both understood that none of it was meant seriously. They were simply great friends, enjoying teasing each other in a lighthearted way.

By the way, since I solved your problem can I start calling you my BAE 😘

She rolled her eyes, shaking her head because honestly, her heart did do somersault every time he would tease in such ways.

You are strong, you are beautiful and smart. You can do this

Like an anthem, she would repeat. Reminding herself of her worth before starting to write a few more lines in her thesis. She completely emerged, listening to her favorite song while fixing her mistake. Bobbing her head to the rap that flowed smoother than the honey itself.

"Is she there?"

Even through her headphone, her ears picked up a familiar voice. Taking her headphone off she turned towards her door when it burst open and her heart dropped when Taehyung barged inside.

Staring right back at him after such a long period of time, it felt unbelievable. Especially with his long wavy hair, he looks as good-looking as the last time she had seen him.

"We need to talk," He told her and she couldn't even bring herself to squeak.

"I need to go to the washroom" she blurted out and dashed out of her room to calm herself.

Breath in, Breath out

She was shaking and she couldn't understand why. Why did she feel so sacred to face him when she had done nothing wrong? She wasn't over him that doesn't mean she wanted him back. Hell even if god came to her and begged her to get back with him for the sake of humanity she would ignore the god. Then why was she trembling?

She never realized their relationship was such a traumatic experience for her that now that she saw him after an extended period of time, she was triggered to the point was initially rendered speechless and shaking.

Taking a deep breath, she mustered the courage to confront him. With determination, she entered the room and discovered Taehyung lying nonchalantly on her bed as if he owned the place.

She shouldn't have but she burst into laughter at the sight.

She couldn't contain herself but the audacity he showed managed to make her laugh till she dropped down on the floor. She herself was confused by her reaction. She was supposed to scream at him, kick him out but all she could was chuckle throwing her head back. Because that was Taehyung in a nutshell. Unfortunately, that was the guy she was in love with.
