Professor was almost finished with the lecture. He was making some 'not so important' announcements before leaving. Namjoon nudged me to go toward Kim Taehyung and talk to him. He just wanted me to get up so he could go and talk to Sunhi. I rolled my eyes.

I finally gathered my courage and walked up to his desk. He was listening to professor's announcements which most of the students were ignoring. Everyone was trying to meet and talk with their assignment partners, except him. I found it weird.

Is he trying to ignore me? Does he also not want to do this assignment with me?

I reached the other end of the class where he was sitting in. Before I could say my Hi, he left his seat and walked towards the Professor. My mouth was half open to blurt out a Hi which only I could hear. Before I could realize what happened, he was talking to Professor, making an innocent puppy face as if he had done something terribly wrong. I was standing there bewildered, not able to understand whatever is happening. I looked at other classmates, they were all busy meeting and talking to their partners. Some were already leaving the classroom. Including Namjoon and her partner Sunhi. Namjoon mouthed a 'Bye, I'll meet you at Parking' to me which meant he will take his time to meet Sunhi.

I was suddenly brought back from my thoughts when the professor called me.

"Song Bora, Can I see you at my office along with Kim Taehyung."

It wasn't even a question. My heart suddenly stopped, not comprehending the context of calling me and him together in his office. I mean we didn't talk about the assignment, let alone starting it, and we both are already at his office.

The professor kept his books and the folder he was carrying at his table and went to take his seat. We both were standing at the other end of the table, waiting for him to tell us whatever he wants to.

By the time professor settled in his seat, I took a chance to ask Kim Taehyung, "Why has he called both of us?" He opened his mouth to speak but was cut off when the professor cleared his throat. We both faced forward, giving all our attention to him.

"Ms. Bora, Mr. Taehyung says he wants to change his partner and doesn't want to do the project with you." My face shocked, turned right immediately to look at Taehyung. He was still looking at the Professor. Did he seriously talk to him? I was giving him the 'Seriously?' eyes but he had all his attention to the professor.

The professor cleared his throat again. I looked at his table. I didn't have the courage to look him in the eyes. From the corner of my eyes, I could see that even he wasn't looking him in the eyes.

Oh, did he finally realize the stupidity he has made? This is the stupidest thing he could do ever. We are not kids who would go to the teacher for every f**king single problem. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. Laugh at his actions; Cry at my fate of him being my partner. Was it possible?

"Since I made it very clear that the partners won't be changed at all, my rules remain unchanged no matter what. If you both have any problem, you can skip this assignment, which by the way is of 50 marks. So even if you score 50 marks in your theory exam, you would still fail this subject." I swear my eyebrows shot up. I swear to god I am failing this subject.

"And since you'll have to repeat this subject next semester, you'll be made partners again for this assignment. Because let's be honest, I can't pair you guys, who failed a subject, with other students. That would be unfair to them. So now or next semester, I don't care. You both would be partners and that won't change even if the World War III breaks out." If my eyebrows could raise any further, I am sure my face didn't have any eyebrows by now.

"You both can now leave."

My feet felt heavy. I couldn't turn myself and walk towards the door. But I had to. I couldn't face the professor anymore. I did know this would happen. But this soon, like just after the professor announced the assignments; that I definitely didn't expect. The more I walked towards the door, the more the anger started building up inside me.

Once we both were out of the professor's office, I held Kim Taehyug's forearm and dragged him towards the nearest place where we could talk. Talk? I would rather kill him.

"What are you doing? Where are you taking me?" His face was a like a deer caught in headlights. Once I reached a park, near to the parking lot, I stopped and made him stand to face me. Though he was taller than me and he could easily defeat me, I didn't fear him for even one second.

"What are you, a 5 year old kid? Going to the professor and saying 'I can't do the assignment with her'? What were you even thinking? That you are the President of this country for whom he will happily change your partner. Or are you the child of the Dean of University, that he would listen to your every request."

"I--------" I didn't let him speak. "I was coming to talk to you so that we can start afresh and do this assignment to save our asses. But no. Mr. Kim Taehyung had to act smart. Look, what your smart ass trying to be smart made you actually look like a fool. ALONG WITH ME. Now even if we both work our asses off for this assignment, the professor is going to mark us strictly. You just ruined our assignment."

I didn't notice that people were already noticing us. And I also didn't notice how he kept moving backward. I looked intimidating. Did i?

"This semester, the course or this assignment might be a joke to you, not to me. You might be the kid of a rich hotshot businessman, not me. This course is very important to me. You--" And I pranced upon him, not controlling my anger anymore. I held his collars while he was trying to push me off.

"You just ruined our assignment and I am definitely gonna fail this subject" He was still trying to get out of my hold.

And suddenly I was lifted from the ground and away from him. My hands were now fighting air. Kim Taehyung heaved a sigh of relief.

Suddenly I felt a hand at my mouth shutting me up, another hand trying to grab my hands. When I looked back, Namjoon was trying hard to hold me up while he shouted, "Kim Taehyung, run if you don't want your skin to be ripped off today. Talk to her tomorrow once she calms down."

Kim Taehyung nodded at Namjoon and walked away. "I am not f**king calming down. I am gonna kill him." I kept mumbling at Namjoon's hand.

When I couldn't fight Namjoon's hold anymore and probably tired, he let me out of his hold. My breathing was heavy from all the shouting and the anger. Namjoon kept rubbing my back to calm me down. I noticed another person standing beside him. Shit! What a great way to create your first impression.

"Hi Sunhi!" I extended my hand for a handshake when I was calm enough and back to my normal self. She replied back with a smile. "I probably gave you a very bad impression. But trust me I am usually not like this." She just smiled. Okay. She probably thinks I am a psycho.

"Should we leave now?" Namjoon asked and I nodded.

I waved a bye to Sunhi and so did Namjoon, just with an extra-wide smile, the one showing his dimples. He is trying to impress. I would have teased him while on our way back home. But it was a silent ride.

I was tired. I needed silence. I needed peace. I needed calm; to calm my inner self.

"Joon-ah, Can you drop me at that park?
