Metanoia | Kim Taehyung

Chapter 4 - Young Adults

-------

The look in his eyes was the same I felt 5 years ago. As I keep walking towards my desk, I can't erase his gaze. Geez, Grace. You shouldn't meddle in other people business; you should focus on your studies girl. Get your thought straight. Korea, please be nice and bear with me. After 2 hours of lectures, I'm finally got to rest. As I was arranging my stuff, someone approaches me with a bubbly eye smile.

"Hi, nice to meet you Grace. I'm Park Jimin." He shoved for a handshake and I respond him afterwards. Well, it's nice to make new friends anyways.

"Nice to meet you too, Jimin." I keep it short and simple since it quite awkward.

"If you have anything regardless the school or Korea, you can always call me for help. I'm going to help you since you are new here. Did you have any class after this? Let's go to eat. The food in the cafeteria was superb." Jimin is quite bubbly; he makes you smile by listening to him. Well, it might be good befriend him since I was new in the area.

"Apparently, I don't have any classes. I would love to try the food." We were getting ready to leave until Jimin approached that guy.

"Taehyung, let's eat together with Grace in the cafeteria. Today menu is tempting as hell." Jimin nudged his shoulder but he just ignored him. What a rude attitude you have boy.

"I'm not hungry." He just left the class afterwards. He reminds me of my old self. I used to be like that. We just continue towards the cafeteria. The food smells really good, no joke. We took our lunch and sat at an empty table. I got to know Jimin more and he such a chatty person.

Few minutes later, 5 boys suddenly approach us and greet Jimin. Jimin introduced themselves as Bangtan Boys. Most of them have distinct features. There are seven members in their group including the guy before. The leader, Namjoon had blonde hairs which look nice with him. Jin is the most beautiful guy that I've ever saw. Yoongi was the coolest dude around while Hoseok was sweet. Lastly, Jungkook is just Jongkook. I don't know how to describe this cutie pie. The boys know each other from high school and still stick together until now. Netherless, I still can't get him out of my mind. That pitiful guy.

"You must be curious about Taehyung right?" Jimin nonchalantly ask while eating.

"He's not like that before. He used to be really nice and friendly with people." Yoongi added.

"Whatever happens to him, time will solve everything. You guys just need to hang in there and believe in him." Time will always be the answer. No matter how hurt you are, you will slowly accept it.

"Wow, you sound like you have experience with this painful, heartbroken stuffs." Hoseok look disbelief with my words just now.

"Been there, and done that before. Well boys, will you excuse me, I need to catch up something important. See you guys later." I bid them goodbye because I need to settle my admission.

I stretch my neck after finishing those admission papers. Too many task needed for the registration. Ah, I still need to find a place to stay. I can't stay at the hotel anymore. It's freaking expensive. I walked away from the office to get a fresh air. The weather was so nice today; I decided to take a rest at a nearby park. As I was getting lost in my thought, someone caught my eyes, it's him. He seemed so lonely and vulnerable. He seemed to notice me staring at him. Both of us was staring really hard until he broke it first. Why would care about other people life, you got your own life.

After the last class ended, I bid goodbye to Jimin and started hunting for a place to rent. Jimin did give me some recommendations before. I've check out the price, but it's still too expensive. I need to get a job first before I can settle down on those house. Luckily me, I found and affordable rooftop house that suits to live alone. Finally, I can breathe happily in Seoul. I move my stuff right after that as I want to get a rest. I took a shower to refresh myself because it has being a long day for me. 

Strawberry scent and humming to Live Your Life was my jam in the bath. While I was deep in the jams, someone shout startled me. Idiots, you not supposed to shout at someone else house. I wrapped myself in towel and search for the culprit. I opened the door and that was the biggest mistake that I've made in my life.

"Hello, you shouldn't shout at someone else house......" It's him! Kim Taehyung. Why he was at my house, wait why he turned his head away, oh SHIT! I forgot that I only wrapped in towel. i slammed the door hard, and rushing to wear something proper. That was so embrassing, Grace. I walked towards the door to approach him in a proper clothes. He still standing outside looking at the night view from my house.

"May I know, why you shout outside my house?" I guess he was startle by my questions. He seemed tense a little bit. He turned around to look at me.

"Sorry, I don't know someone else live upstairs. I always been here every night. Don't worry, I won't come again." He wanted to leave but I stop him.

"It's okay, just don't make any loud noise." He was rude this morning, but now he seemed like lost.

"I'm Grace by the way, what is your name." I still need to introduce myself, although we just met this morning."

"Kim Taehyung."

"Where do you live?"

"Downstairs"

"Are you okay?"

"Yes"

"Do you want something to drink? I've got Coke only."

"No."

"Something is bothering you, right?"

"Yes...No! Mind if you leave me alone." I can sense that he was having trouble. I used to act like him before when I lost everything back then. He's broken inside, it must be hurt.

"I'll leave you alone, but I need to say this. Being alone and depressed won't solve everything. I don't like to stick my nose in anyone problems, but you're hurting your friends with your attitude. Think wisely, big guy. You're an adults." I left him alone walking towards my door until he stopped me.

"Does being friendly and happy can solve the agony right away? You're such a liar." He does resemble me back then. From the past experience, I became stronger and can face lots of people in my life. I smiled to annoy him more. He did seemed affected. I walked towards the doors and reached my room to get a CD. I approached him and put the CD on his hand.

"Here, the first things to ease yourself is by engaging yourself with music. It might not ease you totally, but you can get lost in the music. See you in schools and please don't shout, okay?" I left him for good because I also need to rest. I wonder how his characters before he felt into depression. Did he talk a lot? Or he a grumpy person. Hopefully, he can be at ease. I pray the best for him. Let's go to sleep, Grace. You have more adventures to come.

p/s : more for Grace and Taehyung's adventures coming.
