Taehyung shuffled through campus. Large textbook held close to his chest, clutched between shaky fingers as his eyes scanned his surroundings.

They were wide and full of fear. The crowded pathways that lead to intimidating lecture halls. Colossal in size and old by nature. Taehyung had never felt so out of his depth and afraid before.

Jimin had a lecture early that morning which meant the blonde had to face his first day of university all alone.

"itsy bitsy spider.." the boy whispered under his breath, trying to calm his erratically beating heart. It felt like it might pop out of his chest and run off back home. 

"climbed up the water spout" Taehyung's shoulder was shoved by a group of excited students, who towered over the little. Causing him to trip and stumble before being pushed by someone else.

The blonde's eyes started to water. He gripped the heavy textbook tighter and kept his head low. He wanted to hide under his covers with nugget and never leave his dorm room. It was safe and quiet in there. Here it was just too loud, busy and scary.

Taehyung continued to whisper his favourite nursery rhyme under his breath to calm and ease his nerves. His fingers were shaky as were his legs, that felt like they were about to give way any second now.

Having made sure to memorise his lecture hall, as well as search what the room number was before leaving this morning. Taehyung soon found himself stood outside an old building. It looked like a castle, like something magical from hogwart's. The little's lips upturned slightly at the thought, eyes slowly beginning to sparkle.

"pretty" he whispered, fingers clutching tight around the spine of his textbook. An item that was extremely expensive but was needed for this academic year.

"are you going to go in?" a voice called out, startling the blonde who spun around with an "oh!"

Taehyung came face to face with a raven haired boy. Quite a bit taller with skin so pale but smooth looking. He soon realised he was in the way of the entrance.

"s-sorry, i'm sorry" Taehyung stuttered, stepping to the side and keeping his gaze down. Fingers beginning to make tiny indents into the new hard back cover.

The taller boy eyes him for a moment, before his gaze flickers to the book in his hands.

"advanced literature with Professor Kim Seokjin?" he asks, tilting his head to move his bangs out the way.

Taehyung slowly nods. "h-how did you know?" his voice was a whisper.

The boy simply shrugs his backpack off one shoulder, pulling the same textbook out of the unzipped top. Taehyung widened his eyes.

"come, i'll show you where the room is, i found it yesterday" The student's voice was a little gruff but his warm smile eased Taehyung's anxiety slightly.

"thank you" he whispered, quickly scurrying after him as to not get lost.

"i'm yoongi by the way" he called out, slowing down his pace when he realised the blonde was struggling to keep up.

"t-taehyung"

Yoongi gave him a nod, and acknowledged his stutter with a small smile as they made their way down a maze of corridors.

"here we are" The huge wooden double doors opened to a large lecture hall.

Tiered seating staggered far and high. With huge maple pillars structuring arched windows that must of been 20 feet tall.
