Breath. 5

V.

Of all the days, today is the day you hated the most. The worst day you will ever had in your life in Seoul University. Yuna was absent. She can't go to school because she got a bad flu after exposing herself out in the cold. Even you, can't deny the fact that day by day the temperature is dropping. It's getting colder and sooner or later, the trees will be brown and everything will be white. As your best friend, Yuna didn't forget to cheer on you since you'll be going to school alone for a week. You hated her for being sick but you just wished her to get well soon.

Not having Yuna around you is boring, but having a freaking boring teacher is worse.

After class, you felt your energy drained off just by sitting and listening to the boring lecture. Your back hurts and you have nothing to do but to go to somewhere where no people are. And you found the Literary Clubroom. The club only has exactly 10 members including you and you're still thinking of leaving the club because of Kim Taehyung; but right now, you just need a place to stay alone. Kim Taehyung won't get mad if he finds you there.

You checked the room; and for a moment you just realized that it was wider than you expected. It was like a mini-library. The school's library was like three times bigger than the clubroom so, one clubroom was big. Books are also everywhere, neatly arranged by title and kind; newspapers are folded neatly on the table and even the pictures of the past members of the Literary Club were hung properly in the blue painted wall. Your eyes suddenly starts to search for a familiar face and there you found what you were looking for. You saw Kim Taehyung smiling. He was a freshman in the picture and you knew that he had a bright life in that year, but what happened to him now? Then there's Kim Seok Jin too, they're in the same club but why would he want to put Kim Taehyung down?

"What are you doing here?" You gasped when someone spoke behind you; it was Kim Taehyung. His face was pale like usual and his voice was frozen cold.

"I'm a member here right? Don't I have the right to visit the clubro-"

"Get out." He snapped, cutting you as he marched towards you. "I said OUT!"

"Yah! Stop yelling at me!" You yelled back, but you stopped when you noticed that he was not playing around. "Fine." You breathed and walked towards the door. You spotted the doorkeys and quietly took it from the table. He was following you though and as soon as you stepped out, he locked the door immediately. "What the- the nerve." You mumbled as you glared at the door imagining it was him.

Instead of leaving, you didn't. You stood by the door for a couple of minutes until you can't kill the curiosity in you. You jiggled the keys and unlocked the door by it. Then as you got inside, silence greeted you. Kim Taehyung was not on the table, nor in his president chair.

"H-hello?" You called, as you closed the door right after you. "Hello? Douchebag, a-are you there?" You called again. Then you frowned when you thought Taehyung might had just left using the backdoor. You thought of looking back to the picture in the wall, when you noticed something moved behind the bookshelves. You walked towards it and found Kim Taehyung lying on the floor; he was sweating a lot and he breathed like he ran a long mile.

"Omigosh!" You jumped next to him checking if he's dying or not, "Yah, Kim Taehyung! Wake up!" You started to slap his cheeks strong enough to make him feel.

"G-go away.." He breathed, his eyes were in a delirious state. He was weak.

"Yah, just tell me what's wrong??" You said sternly, even though you hate him you can't stand seeing him in such a horrible situation. "You look like you're dying Kim Taehyung!" You said, cupping his cheeks. He grabbed a hold of your wrist, but not the type that he's hurting you.

"I-in.. inhaler." He breathed again.

"What? What do you mean about inhale-" You stopped when you realized that he was telling you to find his inhaler. "Wait, w-where did you put it?"

"D-drawer.." He breathed again, pointing at his table in the left.

"OK, got it." You said and quickly went to the table. Then you found the drawer was locked and it needs a freaking key to unlock it, until you realized the keys you stole earlier was Taehyung's personal keys. You quickly went to find the certain key until you got it. You found the inhaler and you also found a picture of Taehyung and a girl hugging each other, then you found the girl's name Yooji since their names were written around the picture. And for a moment, you do realized that Taehyung was not that cold at all. After a quick moment, you took the inhaler and quickly went back to Taehyung and gave it to him.

- 10 minutes later -

"You.. freaking stole the keys." He hissed as he finally calmed down. That was the time when you found out that Kim Taehyung the perfect senior has a terrible asthma. You were sitting beside him, making a pout with your lips as you are sorry for giving him a near-death-experience. "Dammit." He cussed.

"Well, I did not mean it. You were so rude and then-"

"Will you freaking stop talking to me? You almost killed me!" He snapped.

"But, I saved your life?" You grinned, fidgeting your fingers on top of your knees. "Right?"

Taehyung rolled his eyes and suddenly pulled himself up but he ended falling on top of you.

"Yah! G-get off of me-" You exclaimed, pushing him away from you. He fell back on the spot he left and groaned in pain. That's when you noticed his shirt was half buttoned and his necktie was loosened. Probably he had a hard time chasing his breath as he searches for the keys to get his inhaler and stuffs. "I'm s-sorry, I did not mean it,okay? I have no idea at all and-"

"That's the problem, you have no idea." He scoffed, raking his sweaty hair upwards, revealing his gorgeous forehead and his wholesome face.

Your heart bursted all of the sudden, as you see his face so closely. He was really handsome.

"What the hell are you looking at?" He snapped, causing you to snap back to reality.

"Nothing, you look like someone I know." You looked away, but indeed, you felt your cheeks slightly burned. "Sorry."

"Never tell anyone about this." He spoke as he finally stood on his feet.

"S-so you mean, I'm the only person who knew that you have asthma?"

"Like obviously?" He scoffed.

"Tch, fine. Whatever." You stood up, fixing yourself as well. "By the way, who is Yooji?"

"It's none of your business." He snapped, "Will you please get out of this room?" He hissed.

"Tch, fine. As if I care about her." You rolled your eyes and immediately left the clubroom.

-

"Pfft, that nerved." You glared at the clubroom door as you walked away from it. But after what happened, you found yourself curious about Kim Taehyung. He seemed to be someone who hides everything behind his cold face. He has asthma, he has a conflict with Kim Seokjin ,then he has a girlfriend but he doesn't like to talk about her. The longer you stay in the school, the more you unlock the secrets of him.... but aside of all that, you still hate him.

"Son Hera."

You stopped when you heard someone called your name. Looking back, you saw Kim Seokjin walking towards you with his sophisticated aura. The smirk was tattooed on his face making you want to punch him, but he's too supernatural for you just to do that.

"What do you want?" You raised a brow.

"I was hoping I could see you around here." He smiled, but you knew something dark is hiding behind that gorgeous smile.

"Well, you saw me. What do you want?"

"Would you like some coffee?" He smiled again, yet you only gave him a suspicious look.
