(This chapter was cut by wattpad, I don't know why. I'll try my best to rewrite.) 

Quick note: So I thought 'No More Dream' would be the perfect song for this chap since it's all badboy-ish and stuff, so in case you wanna have the feels, check it out and play it while reading. Uh-huh.

Prologue (3rd person)

There he goes, the legendary badboy king. He walked pass the students as they made way for him, looking at him in awe. The girls squealed whenever his shoulders touched theirs. He stepped up the university's escalator as the ladies followed him. He went straight to the garden and there he saw his friends under the tree, waiting for him. The girls squealed more when the squad was complete.

"Woh Taehyung-ah, this is our secret hangout place and now everyone knows it because of you. Ah, jinja," J-hope, the jokester of the group kiddingly said. The members agreed.

"It's because of his girls, hyung-shi," Jungkook, the silent member quietly mumbled as he closed his eyes, leaning on the tree. The girls squealed more as he spoke, since this only happens seldomly. They mostly like the quiet type of guys, which makes Jeon Jungkook the eye-catcher of the group. He shrugged the shrieks off.

Rapmon shook his head and faced Taehyung.

"Tae, you're getting more and more girls each day. Stop being so cute and all," the leader muttered. V gave him his rectangular smile and faced his admirers with pursed lips, signaling them to leave the garden.

"Yah, this is our hideout, aish. Who told you you can come here? Get out. Go somewhere else. Ka. (Go!)" The ladies looked at him disappointedly, leaving the garden with frowns on their faces. When no one else was left, Taehyung sat with them.

"Hey, maknae, are you still going to my house later? Mom and dad's out, we're free to mess the house up," he smirked. Jungkook just hummed, lazy to talk. Jimin immediately pushed V.

"You didn't tell me we're going to your house tonight. You forgot about me already? So what? You're bestfriends now?" Jimin smiled sheepishly as V elbowed him, responding to his kidded tantrum.

"We're all going then. You have to bring your own soju though. You know appa, he confiscates all my beer every week. I'm also kind of broke."

"Are you fucking serious? Wah. Kim Taehyung, broke? Who are you kidding now? What happened to your ATM card then?" Suga threw him his broken ballpen.

"I'm grounded, and  my ATM's cut off. So you have no choice but to lighten your wallets. And for pete's sake. I spend lots of wons on our weekly night outs, so you should treat me at least." He winked and stood up to leave. Jin tripped him though, so he fell on the floor, knees knelt down.


"Yah! What is it?" He asked, wiping the dust off his jeans.


"You just came. You're leaving already? Are you meeting someone new again or something--"

"Aren't you used to him yet? He always has a new girl. Nothing's new." With that V smirked, stood up and went straight ahead after giving Suga a quick pat.


Tae went to the department store. he was in good mood, the mood to buy new panda and donut pajamas. He has 10,000 won in his pocket, enough to buy a onesie. No one knew this side of his. He was a bad boy, who would expect him to have such a soft side? He went to the kid's corner and scanned the store for the perfect pajama. When he found ones in his size, he headed for the changing rooms. 


Since there were no hangers in the fitting room, V had to throw his clothes over the door. While he was admiring himself on the mirror a swift movement caught his eyes. When he turned around, his clothes strewn on the door were lost.


Mortified, V grabbed his shoes and ran barefooted across the store. He stood by the underwear section and scanned the store. When he was about to give up, he saw a girl wearing a sweater. The unique print on the back notified him that it was his. He quickly headed for the exit and chased her like he chased after his dreams. 

Nearing the exit, a hand clamped on his shoulder.

It was the security, stopping him before the alarm went off.  "Excuse me sir, have you paid for these yet?" The guard asked with furrowed eyebrows, scanning the unstamped tag hung by the onesie's hood. V got annoyed instantly and he was about to punch him when another security grabbed his fists stopping him before it hit the poor guard's mad face.

"Ajhussi, a girl stole my clothes. What? You expect me to take these off and chase after her half naked?" He answered, pissed and annoyed.

"I'm sorry, but we don't let unpaid clothes get out of this shop. Sir, go to the counter and pay for these first." Tae harshly pulled his arm from the security and lined up the cashier line, when he remembered that his money was in his pocket. Shit, he thought. How will he pay now?

He was getting cramped when he remembered that he left his phone on the fitting room chair. Hopefully, it hasn't been stolen yet. He quickly ran to the fitting rooms and luckily, his phone was there, secure and still unbroken. 

He dialed Suga's number since among all the members, he always has the most money. Also, he's always in the mall so he would be the fastest to reach the store.

"What? I got it okay? I'm on the drinks. I'm actually by the grocer line so chill out man and I'll follo--" before he even got to finish his sentence, V cut him off.

"Hyung, can you please come to the dep. store? I was fitting some clothing when someone stole my clothes. They won't let me out. I promise to pay you back when I get my ATM uncut-- shit!" He got even more frustrated when he remembered that his ATM card was also in the sweater. "I'll pay you when I redeem my card back. But at the moment, can you pay for these first?"


Suga took a while to reply. "Wah, arasso. I'll be there in a minute. I'm just paying these soju. Promise to pay me double the price though," he joked, but since V was desperate, he agreed. "I'm kidding, pabo. Hold on for a sec then," he ended while V stayed on the tiny red chair in the room.


Before Suga hung up, he asked, "Where are you though? Which section are you at?" V bit his lip, embarrassed.

"Uh... in the kid's corner?" Suga remained silent for a while before he burst out laughing.

Ah, embarrassing, he thought.
