Stepping out of the bus felt like entering a battling arena. The stares from a few students inside the bus were already discomforting, but now that the whole school were probably watching tied my stomach to a knot. Taehyung was completely nonchalant, maybe because he was used to these kind of attention.

Oh my lord, is that Hera and Taehyung?

I can't believe this. First Jungkook, and now Taehyung? She must've saved the country or something in her past life

I wonder how Jungkook's going to react after seeing them? Poor guy...

That Hera always dates the troubled ones, what's wrong with her?

I'm supposed to be accustomed to the amount of talks they were going to throw, the intense stares they gave out and the attention. I mean, being a student council's president required me to speak in front of people and don't mind the negative sides that came along with the responsibility, but somehow, I'm anxious.

"Babe-", I jumped out in surprise when he whispered closely to me, earning whispers coming out of their mouths to express curiousity

"Geez Taehyung, you scared me"

"I didn't even raise my volume", he narrowed the distance between us and our shoulders brushed again each other, "Don't be so tense"

"I am not", I cleared my throat and fixed my walking posture as he laughed

"Then what's up with the sweaty palms?" I immediately rubbed my palms against my clothes, but he abruptly held it afterwards. My reflex was to let go of his hand, "Why? You don't want me to hold your hand?"

"No", I sighed, "I'm just uncomfortable with all the stares they're giving out. They're looking at me like I'm a zoo animal"

He furrowed his eyebrows before saying, "Are you embarrassed to be seen with me-", I held his hand and squeezed it tightly

"Never! I'm just a little nervous, okay?", I admitted as he laughed and wrapped his arm around my shoulders

"Then focus on me", he stared deeply into my eyes, "Don't mind the stares, it'll die down and people will get used to it. They're just surprised at the plot twist"

My shoulders loosen up a bit when he said that, his loving gaze ease my nervousness as my cheeks finally blushed in return

"Fine, I trust you"

"Aw that's my girl, let's go inside", he cheekily smiled, "And what a good day it is"

"Why?" his eyes never left mine as he flashed his rectangular smile and leaned close to my ear

"I've dreamt about walking side by side like this ever since we started dating. I'm glad it's the reality now"

My heart was beating in irregular pattern as I hit his chest playfully, "So corny, I swear. Did you learn a lot from Rapmon?"

He giggled cutely in return.

Thankfully, his little ways to distract me worked perfectly, helping me forget about the stares and whispers, also making me fail to notice a pair of eyes following our movements with pure denial in it.
