The next morning went by in a bit of a blur. There wasn't much to note as I moved along my routine. Arriving to the campus, I snapped out of my state of limbo. My phone showed I was just on time, so I strolled my way to the class.

Upon entering and walking towards my seat, several students stared at me discreetly from the side. I didn't really notice until now.

I briskly arrive at my seat and set down my items before pulling out my chair. Setting myself down, I turn and smile at Momo and Chaeyoung.

"Morning guys!" I lightly say.

"Morning y/n." Both chorused at the same time. They turned to each other before Chaeyoung quickly called out, "Jinx! You didn't call it fast enough." Chaeyoung lightly punched Momo's shoulder and Momo whines about it being unfair.

They continue bantering as I watch them amused. I look up when someone opens the classroom door and see that Taehyung has arrived. His eyes zone straight towards me before his neutral expression lightens up with a small smile. He walks over and takes the seat beside me before saying, "Salutations."

I let out a small sound of amusement before saying, "I'm glad you could grace us with your presence."

"It's my pleasure. You should soak up this opportunity of seeing me, Taehyung, in the flesh and having an actual conversation with me." He ends off with a smirk as I narrow my eyes.

"Opportunity? I'd say it's more of a pai-"

"Privilege? Of course it is!"

"Class will start now! Let's go over briefly on what we will do today!" Professor Chaeun announces. I shake my head at Taehyung's grin of triumph.

"Great job today. Sorry it was a lecture day today, but at least these days don't come often! You are dismissed. Make sure to pack up all your items and finish your assignments. See you tomorrow!" Professor Chaeun cheerily says as she starts to shut down the powerpoint behind her.

I pack up my notebook and writing utensils after her dismissal. I briefly roll my shoulders so they aren't so tense before standing up. Taehyung is already standing beside me and looking at something on his phone. I push in my chair as he looks up at me and smiles.

"Let's go?" I nod as he walks over to the door. I turn to see Momo and Chaeyoung pushing in their chairs.

"Bye guys. See you both tomorrow!"

"Bye y/n!"

"See you. Oh yeah, I was supposed to text you. I'll get on that later hehe." Chaeyoung says as I giggle and say it's okay. Walking over to the door, Taehyung was waiting next to the entrance. He opened the door for me, but several girls filed from the side and out the door. They all purred their thanks to Taehyung as he just awkwardly smiles and occasionally nods.

I just stand to the side as I watch him struggle. There was finally a small gap between the girls, so I stepped in the crowd and walked out the door.

"Aww, why thank you Taehyung. Bye!" I said before walking passed and down the hall.

"Get back here!" Taehyung said as he let go of the door and sped over to me. The door closed on some girl and she wasn't expecting him to abruptly let go. It hit her in the face and I let out a laugh as Taehyung quickly put his hands on my back and speed walked me further down the hall.

"You should never close a door in a girl's face!"

"I didn't. I let go when no one was there, she just wanted to have a make-out session with the door. Not my problem." Taehyung grinned sheepishly as I rolled my eyes.

We stepped out of the building and started walking across the courtyard silently. There weren't many people around outside.

Taehyung leaned his head forwards near me and said, "I never got to apologize for that one time  I hugged you without warning. Sorry. I felt bad for the drink, and I was tired. You were just my victim. I know we just met so it must've been awkward for you when I hugged you." We stopped under the shade of one of the trees before I turned to him.

"No, it's okay. It was a bit awkward, but I didn't mind it! I like hugs so it's fine."

"I see. Then I can freely hug you!" He leaned down to hug me before I stepped back and laughed.

"Woah there cowboy. Isn't it a little weird to hug me? Don't you have your, uhm, boyfriends?" 

"Well yeah, but hugging doesn't have to be in relationship terms? It can be friendly. Unless you want it to mean something more." Taehyung looked a bit confused and tilted his head. Is it normal for a guy to enjoy hugging me? I'm just confused because most guys in my hometown never really showed affection or attention to girls unless they were interested romantically, or if they were soulmates, so both genders stayed a good distance away from each other. Now with all this attention from all of my neighbors, I'm just becoming more lost by their friendly acts.

"No no no. I just- there are many others you can hug? Why me?"

"You just feel right in my arms." 

I just exploded. Yep, I was an atomic bomb all along for the U.S. Military and the (unintentional) emotional overload sent my systems to overdrive and sent me into early explosion. Great. My cover is blown.

Although, he probably doesn't mean anything by it. I'm reading way too much into everything, and I recently just met all the guys. They just must be really touchy people. Tae probably most likely enjoys the friendly aspect of hugging. 

"Y/n? We should get moving before we are late."

"Ah right. We should. Go to your next class now! I think I am capable of finding my next class on my own. See you at lunch Taehyung!"

"Well. Okay. I'll see you and isn't saying Taehyung a mouthful. Just call me TaeTae or Tae Oppa!"

"O-Oppa?" I said shocked. I've never called anyone that, there was no need.

"Yes?" He grinned as he knew I didn't mean it as me calling him. I glared at him as he just smiled and waved before turning and jogging the opposite direction. I glance at my phone to see I had about 5 minutes. I rushed over to Graphics Design without second thought.
