***One month later***

Y/N POV

It has been one month since Tae and I started dating and I have to say, it's been amazing, beyond my personal expectations really. I've only experienced pain when it comes to love, but this is completely different, even from when I first started dating Sehun, when I was still happy with him.

Tae is loving, caring, considerate and sweet, everything I could have ever wished for. What makes it different is that it feels like he has become my best friend as well as my lover. We share everything with each other and laugh about the silliest things together, I truly feel happy.

Sometimes it does feel like everything is too good to be true, too perfect to be real. As I said, I've only known struggle and pain in my previous relationship which made everything seem like it was fake in the end. I can't help but fear that it's all going to end from time to time, but when I'm with Tae, he makes me feel like I'm on a completely different planet, just us two.

That feeling however disappears whenever we would enter the university grounds. Tae seems to be slightly oblivious to it, but I can see the stares and hear the whispers from everyone. Girls look at me as if they could kill me right there in that very moment.

I try to brush it off, but it makes me feel slightly insecure. When I'm alone with Tae, it feels natural and safe, but when we're in a public place it changes. 'What is a girl like her doing with him?' 'Did she blackmail him into dating her??' 'He's probably just with her for the sex, have you seen her fat ass!?' 'He'll leave her soon, trust me'.

I should ignore it, but it hurts when I hear it and it becomes harder to ignore every day. Tae is popular, every girl in this university would murder me to be in my current position and they aren't shy of letting me know.

It's even worse whenever I see Jennie and her friends in the corridors. Her friends just give me nasty glares and look at me like I'm a piece of trash stuck to his jacket. I get it, they are the friends of his ex, but she isn't eying me this way, so why would they?

I always thought that Jennie was kind of a mean girl and the leader of her group, but this is far from the truth. She actually seems kind and sort of reserved, a bit insecure actually. She doesn't really pay attention to me which actually makes me relieved, her friend Soyeon however, not so much.

She's the worst of them all, I would have died 31 times if her looks would kill, but on top of that, she seems to actually eye Taehyung like he's her next prey. I might just imagine things of course, she's Jennie's friend after all so why would she be after her ex? But it's Soyeon, she isn't like the other girls.

Her friend Lisa seems nicer. I've seen her around Yoongi's bar before and she doesn't seem to mind me. She's friends with Jimin and Hoseok since she's majoring in dance as well, which is why she hangs around the bar with them from time to time.

Perhaps they aren't all as bad as I would think, but I feel insecure when I walk next to him at school. I've talked to Tae about this before but whenever it would get too deep I would brush it off. 'It's probably nothing' 'I'm most likely just imagining it'.
