Floating

Chapter 5

The introductory week at the university is fast and flawless. I actually spent my week with Yoongi and J Hope. Since they are already here 1 year longer, they showed me everything on campus so I can finally manage to find a class without Google Maps.

I like spending time with J hope and Yoongi. The three of us got along pretty well and we could laugh a lot. Fortunately we did not talk about the evening at the campfire anymore. But it is nice to finally have friends where it is so easy to be yourself and where you dont have to explain everything.

I get along well with Jennie but we are too different to maybe ever become real friends. She is always nice to me and seems to to care for me even after the situation of Taehyung and me. But I got Wheein as a new friend as well. We also have the same main course toghter. Since I am so lucky too, is Taehyung in the same class. I only noticed him because of his intense staring when Wheein and I come to class after getting our morning coffe.

Of course he is attractive thank to his appearance and his charisma. But even with our differences, I would never hurt her, let alone try to take anything away from her. She's my room mate and it's just simply wrong to take someone's boyfriend away. But you can't ignore when someone is staring at you everyday. Even Wheein giggles whenever he looks at me and pushes her elbow playfully into my stomach.

It's always the same. Our eyes cross and I can't but to hold my breath. It feels like he is looking deep inside of me such as a few days ago at the campfire. Maybe I should tell him to stop because it is uncomfortable and not fair against his girlfriend. But speaking openly with him on campus would not be ideal and could shed false light on us, especially for him.

I never had those feelings before. I'm not used to having a boy look at me like that either. In France I liked it very much and did not want to be seen. And now one of the most popular boys at the university is staring at me.

Taehyung always sits a few rows in front or behind us. I think Jennie forbid him to come near me after she had the feeling that I was interested in him. What I honestly can't blame her for.

I am not interested in him but somehow he always gets my attention when he even looks at me. That is so unlike me. And just because a boy dresses well and opens his beautiful mouth with his rose lips easily when he looks at something for a long time.

Ywi since when do you think of a boy's lips?

After the production design class it is finally the weekend and I can't wait to take some time to organize my stuff and obviously my head. I could maybe even find a job to earn some extra money. Instantly I remember the coffee shop.

When I arrive in my room Jennie is not there.

At least a little time for me.

I tidy up my side of the room and sort my classes neatly together until I hear a knock at the door.

"It's open."

Is that Jennie? Jennie would never knock on the door, it's her room. But Koreans are always so polite.

No, it wasn't Jennie.

The person doesn't come in. He just squeezes his head between the door and I remembered when Taehyung did the same like last time when he came to grab Jennie's jacket. I was right. It is Taehyung behind the door. He seems so self-confident all the time but now he seems so insecure and lost like last time.

"Oh hi," he says hesitantly.

"Can I help you?" I roll my eyes.

What is he doing in our room? He must know Jennie's not here.

"Jennie isn't here?" he asks, still standing with his head through the door.

"Obviously not, no. Shall I give her a message when she comes back?" I am still annoyed of this situation.

"No no. I'll just wait here... for her." he answers in a low voice.

"Do you want to wait for her with your head between the door? Or outside the door? You can come in too, it would be less embarrassing," I leaned aside a little to get a better look at him.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to get too close," and entered the room fearfully.

He pronounced these words in a friendly way but it didn't felt like kindness. It feels like a lie to hide something.

His aura filled the whole room. I feel weird and can't breathe properly. Just as at the campfire when I had to look at him again and again because I knew he was looking at me as well. His black eyes meets mine. I look away immediately.

Why is he doing this?

"Make yourself at home..." I tried to make it funny to hide that I was annoyed before and that I was nervous now.

"... you're here all the time anyway" I said so softly that he couldn't even hear it.

He stands in front of the door and runs his hand through his hair as if he didn't know what to do or say next.

I don't know it either.

His aura is still present but was slowly being replaced by the tension and uncertainty of both of us.

I am standing next my closet to to create more distance between us, when he see him walking straight to my desk and stands there looking at something. He opens his mouth again slightly like he does every time he stars at something for a long time.

What is he looking at for so long?

So I ran up to him and look. He is looking at my drawings that I made for the product design course.

"They look incredibly good," he says in a soft voice, but he isn't looking at me.

"Well, they looks okay. I'm not so inspired by the current theme. Normaly I draw better than that." I giggled and look up to him. Our eyes meet. And the emotional rollercoster starts again.

How long has he been looking at me?

But neither of us look away. We don't know each other at all. We saw each other maybe 3 times and didn't even really talk. So why does it feel like I'm floating every time or know him very well when we look at each other?

Is that normal? Is it my imagination? Does he feel the same in his body as I do?

I usually find it rather unpleasant to look into someone's eyes that long, but here it was different. Like we would communicate without even talking. I feel all the electricity and heat flow through my body. I just stand there, looking in this incredible eyes and feel hoe my cheeks turned red.

I don't know when we got closer, but suddenly we were only a few centimeters apart. I started to breathe heavily and I see his gaze stuck to my lips. I can even hear his heartbeat and how he switches from my lips to my eyes again.

"What's going on?" said Jennie standing at the door.
