I hate U, I love U

Chapter Nine

"What are you doing?" Dahyun instantly breaks away from Taehyung's hug. She slightly take a few steps away from him.

Realizing what he did, Taehyung can't hardly find the right words to say.

Even he doesn't know why he did that.

I felt scared, of course he won't say it. She will ask why, and he doesn't know what he'll say.

"I..." he stutters. "I was just stopping you. You can't just leave like that. Do you want me to report you to my uncle? He's the principal of this school," he lied.

She gives him a disbelief look. "I can't believe you're threatening me," she shakes her head and walks past him. "I really thought it's something else," she mumbles, but Taehyung heard her.

"Come with me. I'll take you to a place you want," he tells her. He didn't give her chance to complain, since he already starts walking ahead.

Dahyun follows him not because she feels threatened, but because she has nowhere else to go. She wants to ask where's the classroom for Advance Class, but she knows that Taehyung won't tell it to her.

After 10 minutes of walking and going up several stairs, Taehyung finally stops.

Feeling tired, Dahyun stoops down to catch her breath. "Where exactly are you taking me?" she asked, wiping her sweat.

"To your favorite place," he announced, stepping aside so Dahyun can see.

Her eyes widened in awe.

She slowly walks inside and she feels amazed with the place.

She can't help but smile and let out a sigh of relief.

All her tiredness is gone.

She turns back to look at Taehyung. He still knows that this is her favorite place. He still knows. He still knows...

She doesn't understand why he still acts like he doesn't care, but the truth is, he still cares about her. She can feel it.

Taehyung enters the library.

"This library is quite big compares to the one in Daegu---"

"Thank you, Taehyung," she cuts him off, she badly wants to say those words to him.

"I'm feel tired walking youaround the campus. I just used this opportunity to take a rest or might as well sleep here." Again, he's making lame excuses.

But the truth is, he knows how she loves reading so much, how she loves spending long hours in the library. He knows it all.

This is the place where she would feel happy. He knows it.

"We still have an hour before lunch break. Do everything you want and I'll do mine," he said, going straight at the far corner of the library to take a nap, and to secretly look after her.

Dahyun excitedly scanned the room and she can't help but gasped when she saw lots of history books. "If only I could stay here all day," she mumbles. She glanced at Taehyung and saw him taking a nap. She smiles and muttered, "If only we could be like this again."

But Taehyung's just pretending to sleep. He heard her.

----

The bell rang.

It's finally lunch break.

Jimin hurriedly pack up his stuffs.

"The others are going to lunch out, wanna come?" Minhee offers, but Jimin ignores her and left the room. Annoyed, she hardly kicks Jimin's chair. "You've been testing my patience, Jimin. Let's see who's gonna win this time," she mumbles.
