"When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness"
_

She paled at Taehyung's ridicule, her face bleaching white. After the incident three months ago, his impression of her had gone down the drain. He wouldn't even listen when she tried to explain.

Ignoring the hurt, she whispered, "It wasn't intentional."

"Not intentional?" He laughed sarcastically, frost clouding his eyes. His snide remark next was merciless and cruel.

"Y/N, I never expected your lies to be as good as your ability to take advantage of others! That day, I'm pretty sure it was you who climbed into my bed when I was drunk, and if I don't remember wrongly, you were pretty enthusiastic, even begging me to sleep with you!"

His words pierced her heart, each word seemingly cutting deeper and deeper, leaving her eyes red.

That night, she had indeed begged him. But she too had drunk alcohol! Slightly tipsy, mistaking it for a dream, she had asked softly, "Can I be your woman?"

Y/N had never expected Taehyung to use the events of that night to mock her. Her face flushed a deep shade of red. Humiliated and shamed, she pinched herself.

Only when the pain from her fingertips overshadowed the pain inflicted by his words did she calmly explain herself, "I had no intentions of seducing you, I was asleep when i accidentally touched you."

"It better be the case. But get this straight, even if you were the one that started this game, from now, I'm the one in control. You can indeed gain benefits from me with your body, but that's only when I'm interested in sleeping with you."

Taehyung paused, then with arrogance soaking his every word, he continued mercilessly, "If I'm not interested, I won't lay a finger on you even if you throw yourself at me like the first time!"

With his every word, bit by bit, the blood drained from Y/N's face.

She continued to hang her head, not daring to look at his expression

When Taehyung finished, he coldly released her wrist and went to the changing room.

When he came out, Y/N was still on the bed, in the same position as when he had left her. She looked fragile and thin, and with her head hung low, she looked like a student being punished. When the dim lights hit her, she looked young and innocent.

He stood by the changing room door, quietly staring at Y/N. After a while, his eyes lowered. He turned and left the room.

Some time after Taehyung had left, Y/N slowly lifted her head, staring at the the side of the bed that he had been lying on.

Moving the big teddy bear away, she buried her face into his side, breathing in his scent, feeling the warmth he had left behind.

She took in a deep breath greedily before caressing the blanket that still carried his warmth with her face, bitterness spreading through her heart.

Even if he had said such cruel things, she still couldn't help being in love with him.

Yesterday night at 'To the End of Time' banquet, Jisoo had been right. They were never like this in the past.

Back then in school, Taehyung was generally quite close to the guys, but he would avoid girls at all costs. And at that time, she was one of the few girls that were on speaking terms with him.

However, he talked to her not because she was special but because of Jimin.

The Park family and Lee family were very close, and she had grown up with Jimin. Taehyung was Jimin's half brother of the same father, which meant that Taehyung was the legitimate son of the Park family.

Not affected by the problems from the previous generation, Taehyung and Jimin had a close relationship and got along well together.

Y/N had became one of the girls that spoke with Taehyung through Jimin.

However, they were only on talking terms which primarily consisted of greetings out of courtesy such as "Hello" and "Good bye".

Back when she was younger, without so much worries, she would always actively pursue her love.

Even though she wasn't the kind of girl who could daringly confess to a guy, write love letters, or deliver chocolates at Valentine's, she would secretly look for him.

Occasionally, in the school field or on the way home, she would catch up to him, greeting him casually while suppressing her feelings.

He would either reply with a greeting or just nod his head, but that was enough to leave her basking in happiness.

More than once she had dreamed of a future with him, but she could never muster enough courage to confess.

As such, their lukewarm relationship persisted, while her feelings hidden deep within her heart grew each day.

After she entered university, for a reason she did not know, Taehyung started to treat her with hatred and disdain.

Initially, she had thought she was too sensitive because of the love she harbored.
