A/N: this is a double update, so you might have to scroll up and read the previous part!

I end up walking back to the residency with a book in my hand and my footsteps inking a long shadow along the coppery sand. Jungkook had drilled me into thinking that I was okay to attend my photography class, and I'm half-heartedly walking back to my room to gather my things.

I don't remember dreading photography as such, but I think this is going to be my last straw. I'm still replaying my own voice accepting to be his friend as if I'm stuck in the vinyl of an old record of our lapsing moment back there.

Taehyung being my friend could be the zenith of my mental devastation. We have absolutely nothing in common and he's just ... strange.  He doesn't talk much, has no friends, listens to music all day long and I have barely seen him eat at the mess. It's as if he's a shell of someone who has detached from the present and unfurled into a philanthropist of a martyr and I'm slowly edging towards feeling sorry for him. 

Maybe being friends would help breach my feeling of judgement about how Taehyung is this monster of a person who is always unapproachable.

I'm surprised my lungs are persistently functioning to draw air through my body from all the hyperventilating I explore when I'm around him. Taehyung is just daunting and unreal, and my thoughts dispatch the eeriest surges of adrenaline through my veins whenever he's around. And he has assigned me this term I don't even know the meaning of - I'm hoping it isn't anything unflattering. 

Something clicks in me, and I'm fishing through my pocket for my phone.

I chew on the inside of cheeks when I come to a halt outside my door, frowning at the sound of raucous laughter and boisterous voices as they seep through the rift. I wait for them to subside, my phone still clutched in my fingers as I think of a speedy resonse. I don't want any of them noticing me talking to someone I don't know.
