Chapter 5: Aspirations

"You're too young to let the world break you."

     Ah, i forgot to tell my parents that i gave my bicycle to Taehyung. Maybe i should just tell them tomorrow. I feel sleepy already. As i listen to my music playlist, i admire the gleaming and glittering stars. I'm starting to like Daegu a lot. The warm shower that i took made me more sleepier than usual. Time to sleep.

(Time: 5:30 am)

     My alarm was starting to annoy me at this point. I stopped the alarm and immediately went into the shower. I quickly bathe and walked towards the dining table.

     "Hey mom."

     "Hey, Y/N"

     "I wanna tell you something by the way."

     "What is it?"

     "I gave my bicycle to my classmate."

     My mom looked at me with visible confusion. I'm the type of person that won't give my things to a friend so easily. I've changed ever since i met Taehyung. Sheesh, that guy sure has skills.

     "There must be a reason to it, right?"

     "Yeah...it's just that i'm worried about him."

     "Hmm, i'm fine with it as long as you're okay with it."

     I let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair. I ate my breakfast and talked with my mom and my dad who recently woke up.

(Taehyung POV)

     "Look grandma, Y/N gave me her bicycle!"

(Tae's grandma: underlined bold)

     "That's great Taehyung!"

     She looked at me with a huge grin on her face. It made me happy too. I'm blessed to have both her and grandpa in my life. I've learnt a lot from them while they took care of me. I wish that they could live forever. They are the kindest people you could ever ask for.

     "I'm going to go to school first; bye grandma!"

     "Have fun at school!"

     I wore my shoes and took Y/N's bicycle to school. Since it's spring, cycling to school was blissful. It's cold but warm at the same time. Having the cold air blowing through my hair was satisfying. I want to experience more times like this. Maybe i should invite Y/N as well.

(Y/N POV)

     I was walking to school while listening to music. I've started to admire nature more. Daegu sure does have beautiful sceneries. Have i mentioned that before? Well, nevermind. Furthermore, it is windy today. I put a grin on my face as i continue to stroll to school.

(Time: 6:30 am)

     I was already near the school. I suddenly heard someone shouting my name and i looked back. It was Taehyung riding my bicycle. He looked so ethereal with wind blowing his hair. I scratched that thought immediately and greeted him. He got off the bicycle and walked beside me.

     "It sure is windy today, huh?"

     "Yeah it is; suprisingly."

     We began talking until we got in school. He parked his bicycle and we walked to class together. I could never get sick of going to school with Taehyung everyday. I feel euphoric every time i meet him. How does he make me feel that way? Not even my friends in Busan can make me feel that way.

(Timeskip to after school)

     Taehyung and I went to the cafeteria to buy drinks. He got a soda while i just got myself plain water. We both went to take his bicycle and walked back home together.

     "Yikes, i couldn't keep up with the lesson today."

     "I could help you if you want."

     "Really?! I'd really appreciate that!"

     "I could invite you over to my house this weekend."

     "Sure!"

     He looked exhilirated after i said that. After that, he began talking about his future plans and it intrigued me. He wanted to do a lot of things but it seems like he couldn't do it alone. You know what this means. I'll have to offer my help to Taehyung. Anyways, we stopped at the convenience store and bid farewell to each other before heading back home. He cycled back to his home while i took out my phone to listen to music.

     "Did i forget something?"

     I tried to remember what i was forgetting and kept thinking till i got back home. I took off my shoes and saw my dad on the couch. He looks fatigued and it made me worried. I hope he eats well during work because his job is really tiring. He was snoring away and it looked as if he won't wake up for the next 10 days. Fine, that was an exaggeration. As i walked myself to the bathroom, i suddenly remembered what i wanted to do. I wanted to ask for Taehyung's number. How could i forget that? I think i was too distracted by him.

(Time: 8:30 pm)

     After i ate dinner with my parents, i went to my room and went to my study table. I did my homework for the day and hopped on my bed. I laid down and stared at the ceiling. After staring at my ceiling, i played with my  phone and set my alarm after. I went to sleep after that.

(Time: 5:30 am)

     "RINGG, RINGG, RINGG"

     Is it just me or my alarm is getting louder? I stopped my alarm and sat down on my bed. I did my morning routine and wore my uniform. I went and eat breakfast with my family.

     After finishing breakfast, i helped my mom clean the dishes since i had a lot of time on my hands. I wore my shoes shortly after. My dad had already left to go to work so i took my allowance and went to school.

(Taehyung POV)

     "What should i wear to Y/N' s house this weekend?"

     As i cycle to school, my mind was filled with this topic. I have not went to a friend's house since that last incident. I hope Y/N is not like him. I was afraid of making friends again ever since that day. Ever since i met -
Y/N, i didn't get the same feeling like i did before. I felt like Y/N is the only person that i can be close with. I did not want to think of that incident ever again.

(Author's note: I'm so sorry for the late update! I had a lot of things to do recently and i'm getting stressed because of it. To recompensate, i'll post another two chapters!)
