Y/n's pov:

"I'm Kim Taehyung."

'Taehyung'

'Taehyung'

'Taehyung'

Bang "Ouch!! Ahh, Jimin!! What the hell?! Shorty!!" I yelled at him for banging my head with his fist.

"Stop dreaming and introduce yourself, idiot," Jimin whispered, while Taehyung was looking at us with the same smile on his face.

"S-sorry, I'm Kang Y/N. Your name seems a bit familiar... that's why I zoned out. Have we met before?" I asked and turned to Jimin, who facepalmed himself.

Did I ask something wrong? Why was he acting like I had messed up?

I turned back to Taehyung.

"No," he said, shaking his head, but his smile didn't seem entirely convincing. His expression told a different story.

I shrugged off the strange feeling and looked toward Jimin, who had already started talking to Taehyung.

But I couldn't stop myself from glancing at Taehyung. Every time our eyes met, my heart lost its rhythm.

My stomach twisted with an excited, nervous energy. Maybe this is what people mean when they say they have butterflies in their stomach...

------------------------------------------
Taehyung's POV:

My first day of college. I thought it would be boring, like every other school day, but then I saw her standing near the door, looking around the class. My breath caught in my throat.

Wait. OMG. What is she doing here? Don't tell me she-

I quickly turned to face the window, pretending to admire the view, even though I could clearly feel her eyes on me. Has she recognized me?

The boy standing next to her, probably her best friend, dragged her toward me. No, no, no. They're coming in my direction. I'm dead...

I acted normal on the outside, but inside I was freaking out as she stepped closer.

They passed by and sat near the back, not too far from me. I could still feel her gaze.Why am I so nervous when she's the one who did all those things? Does she not remember?

She was staring at me the same way she did when we first met. Should I approach her?

No, no. Why invite trouble? But... why not?

My thoughts were cut off as the professor walked in and started class. I forced myself to focus on taking notes-I mean, obviously, I came here to study. What did you expect?

As soon as the lecture ended, I glanced back at her. She was tapping her pen against her lips, looking like she was deep in thought. Or... pretending to be.

I couldn't help myself. I strolled over and stood in front of her, but she didn't even glance at me.

Okay, now I'm a little annoyed...

"Hiii," I said, leaning in slightly closer to get her attention.

She gasped and nearly fell backward. I reached out to catch her, but-

Thud.

Oops. Too late.

I rushed to help her up, feeling bad about it. Her friend Jimin was there too, asking her all kinds of questions. He was really worried about her, huh?

She was rubbing her eyes and groaning in pain. What had happened to her eyes?

Slowly, she opened them and squinted at Jimin. "Jimin? Is that you?"So, his name is Jimin. Got it. But wait-she couldn't recognize her best friend? Is she blind?

There was a moment of silence before she mumbled, "I lost my lens."

"You lost your lens?" Jimin echoed, and they both said it at the same time.

Okay, so she's not completely blind, just... kinda.

She sighed dramatically and leaned back. I couldn't help but chuckle at her frustration. She's still as funny as ever.

Just like that day...

Jimin, meanwhile, was laughing his head off. She glared at him and threw her bag in his direction, but he caught it without missing a beat. Opening her glasses case, he made her wear her specs, then flicked her forehead.

Definitely best friends.

She tried to kick him, but-

Thud.

This time, she missed and slammed her foot into the metal leg of the desk instead.

She screamed like she'd broken her foot while Jimin rolled on the floor laughing. I tried my best not to laugh, but she was so clumsy and... adorable.

She shot a look at me. No, Taehyung. Don't laugh. Be polite.

I forced a smile and stepped forward again. "Hi," I said, extending my hand for a proper handshake.

She stared directly into my eyes. Girl, you're way too obvious. Hide it!

I waved my hand in front of her face to snap her out of it. "Hello? Is something wrong?"

She blinked, her cheeks turning pink as she finally responded. "Oh! Yeah! Hi! Sorry, I got lost in thought," she said, shaking my hand, her grip soft and a little hesitant.

Thoughts? Hmm... I guess my eyes now go by the name "thoughts."

Trying to make it less awkward, I offered her a warm smile. "No, no. I'm the one who startled you with my sudden appearance. Are you okay now?" I asked genuinely.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine," she stuttered.

Cute.

"Btw, I'm Kim Taehyung. Nice to meet you."She blinked again, clearly in a daze.

The guy, Jimin, got up from the floor, still grinning. "Wait, bro. Let me bring her back to reality.

"Before I could stop him, he raised his fist and thumped her lightly on the head.

"Ouch!" she cried out, glaring at him.

"S-sorry, I'm Kang Y/N. Your name seems familiar... that's why I zoned out. Have we met before?" she asked.

Y/N, no! You weren't supposed to ask that!

I shook my head. "No," I replied, trying to hide the truth.

She didn't seem to believe me, but Jimin quickly filled the silence by introducing himself as her childhood best friend.

That explained why they were so close.

Jimin kept talking, and I joined in the conversation, but I couldn't stop myself from sneaking glances at her.

Ah, this girl! Stop staring at me, Y/N. My heart is doing weird things.

The desire to kiss her again surged through me. But I held back... for now.
