I stayed in college a little longer, waiting for the boys to go on without me.

I'm not sure why, but ever since that day, I've barely been talking to them.

I meet them on my way to classes sometimes, but I quickly tackle them off.

I don't know, what has gotten into me, but I feel uneasy around them.

I feel exposed around them.

I packed up my bag, shoving my cold palms in my pocket, and brisk walked out of college.

But maybe I should have waited a little longer.

I saw Jungkook and you clinging for your lives, as the both of you strolled away.

Of course, he will walk you home and keep you warm from the cold.

I sighed, and almost immediately my eye caught a hooded figure, slumply walking in the crowd of students.

I jogged towards the figure, turning it around with a jerk on its shoulder.

And just expected, it was (Y/N), looking at me with her ever-blank look.

"Tae.... Tae..?" She mumbled, confusedly.

A smile threatened to slip out again.

"Let's walk home together." I said locking our arms together, and dragging her with me.

And maybe I caught you staring at us, rather than Jungkook.

..........

"So this is where you live huh?" I mumbled, eyeing the cozy house in front.

She kept silent, as I felt her staring at me.

And so I stared down at her, startling her in result.

I noticed her glancing at our locked arms, which I didn't realise were still locked.

And so I loosened, mumbling apologies.

"Uhmm..." She trailed away.

And suddenly she bowed down a whole 180 degree.

"Thanks for walking me home." She spoke diligently.

I gently patted her back, quite startled from her antics.

And she stood up straight, tilting her head up, to look at me with dull eyes.

"Aish...Why are you so formal all of a sudden?" I nudged her, making her stumble a little.

"(Y/N)!"

A shrill voice called for her, which I assumed belonged to her mother.

(Y/N) hurried towards her house as I watched her do so.

She suddenly stopped, and turned towards me.

"TaeTae!" She spoke.

"Bye." She pokerfacedly waved and ran away again.

She had already disappeared from my sight, and I was already walking down the lane to reach my home.

But I just can't stop smiling.

~Should I start hoping again? Dreaming again?~

Did this book really just reach 1k reads or am I hallucinating again?

Nevertheless, thanks a LOT.

I don't deserve this.
