Love Is Bound ‖ ✓

chapter 2

"Please come in..."

The person entering the room manages to seize everyone's breath away. "Hello nice to meet you all. I'm Kim Taehyung. Hope we get along." His blue hair drapes his view as he bows. The room buzzes like a typical fish market while y/n's eyes seems to have been rusted in its place. She is overwhelmed with bewilderment. Her thoughts aren't clear as if her brain paralyzed for—

'It is him!'

"Treat him well students. And Taehyung you may take a seat next to Choi Y/n." He turns his head in her direction and a small smile creeps on his lips. "And the well-treatment is over guys." Laughter travels from the back to y/n's ears as the new guy sits next to her. She does not even bother to look at the person making the comment.

"Yoongi, just keep shut!" The professor pulls off a stern look. "If you can make me, Mr. Kang", he scoffs sharing a piece of his arrogance. Taehyung stares at the girl for a moment as if trying to study every ounce of her.

"We meet again", he smiles pulling y/n's attention to him, or so he thought. Her thoughts are far astray to other dimensions expect the present as to why won't Jimin budge his friend? Does his petty popular guy label really tie his tongue to even defend his girlfriend?

Uh uh, correction. His secret girlfriend.

"Um, y/n? Hi!" Taehyung motions his hand in front of her. "Oh hey, hi." Her lips quirks into a straight line. "Is anything troubling you?" He places his hand on her shoulder. Y/n is taken aback by the surprises he held. "Ugh. I should be the one helping you out and here you are– I'm sorry about your shirt again." Y/n chuckles, embarrassed about their first encounter.

"I told you it's fine." He smiles. Something about him deeply solaces y/n. Scratch the fact that they just met. "If you don't mind, can- can I ask you a question?" Taehyung nods with a little smile finding y/n's ways of approaching kind of amusing. "Why'd you join so late? I mean it's almost the end of our final year now."

Taehyung chuckles softly not wanting to grab Mr. Kang's attention. "My parents don't really support my dreams and I don't think I could have managed my daily expenses along with the fee of the previous university I was in." He scratches his nape hesitantly.

"I must say we boarded the same ship", Taehyung giggles at the girl's exhilarating comment. "Parents, you know." The two chortle.

"...and this, as you're already aware, is the cafeteria. I also work a part time here." Y/n smiles, placing her laptop on one of the table. She occupies the vacant seat as the other does too. "That was hell of a day." Taehyung sighs making y/n chuckle. "Hey, why don't I buy you an iced tea?" "...so that I spill it on you, again? No thanks." Y/n peeps over her laptop.

"Please let me. I wasn't focused either so it's kind of my fault too." The girl giggles seeing him as headstrong as a five year old kid. She mumbles a 'fine' while working on her assignment.

"Here!"

Taehyung places the beverage on the table. "Thanks. Mmm, are you staying at the dorm or should I presume you already have a place nearby?" Y/n asks taking a sip. "I'll get the apartment keys later when all the lectures are over."

Taehyung slumps back in his chair. "No! You do not want to do that. Do you have any idea how lazy the staff here is?" She wails almost scaring the shit out of the blunette. "I should retrieve it now?"

Without saying a word, y/n stands up and hurries Taehyung through the process. He stares at her with an utterly blank expression. "Chop chop chop mucho" "you scare me", Taehyung blurts out and the girl gladly takes it as a compliment.

The two are on their way to the window office when a place very endearing catches the brunette's attention. She stops on her feet. "Y/n? What's wrong?" She shakes her head. "N- nothing. I just remembered my shift starts now."

"But I don't know where the window is!" "You'll be fine. Just take a right from here and you'll see a fat ass man. That's when you know it's, the window." Y/n says absent mindedly as the other nods. Taehyung traces his steps to the given instructions.

'Is he here?'

The brunette treads towards the creaking ajar door. Yes, it was the same janitor's closet where her love is bound. "Jimin? Are you in here?" She voices out but she is only slammed against the wall. A soft pair of lips glide on hers.

She immediately recognises the touch and responds to it. Her hands making their way to the boy's dark locks, gently tugging on them. "Jimin—" She breaks the kiss. "W- What was that about?" She chuckles. Not that she is complaining but she does not understand the sudden urge that washed over him.

"I missed you baby." Jimin pulls her into his embrace. "I missed you too", y/n melts into his arms. This is all she needs to get through her stressful life. "I'm so sorry baby. My friends pass such petty comments to you. I wish I could say something. I'm the worst boyfriend one could ever ask for."

Y/n pulls away looking into his eyes. "I disagree. Chim, it's not your fault. In fact I'm not even offended by those comments anymore." Y/n smiles comforting the other. The ravenette knowi he can rest assure now.

"I'm going to leave now alright? I have to attend my shift. Bye-"

"Babe?" Y/n turns around to meet the cute puppy eyes of her boyfriend. They are literally pleading. If only eyes could speak, this is the very moment when the people could hear them scream.

"What's up with these eyes Chim?" She giggles. It is a clear picture of an unadulterated affection that makes the other's heart flip. "Don't stick too much with that Taehyung guy, please." He pouts. "Aw my mochi, you don't have to be worried about him. I love you." She can not help her smile that is pinning from ear to ear.

'Goodness why is he so cute. It only makes it harder for me to leave...'

"I love you so much y/n", he hugs her before leading the girl to the door.

The brunette happily jogs to the cafeteria only to see Jennie closing the place. "Hey y/n!" Jennie smiles seeing the girl there. She was one of them who treats y/n as a real friend. "Hi Jen, we're closing early today?" Y/n furrows her eyebrows.

"Well, yeah cause you know Miss Hwang had some annual expense check to carry out today. So that's the reason" Y/n nods, mumbling an 'alright.'

'6:40. Quite a time left. Maybe I should complete my English theory papers.'

She sighs and heads towards the dorm. The weather is becoming chilly. Gnawing her pale skin. Hot chocolate and marshmallow is all she will be needing right now. She fishes out the keys to her apartment but only to find the door unlock.

'Awkward. Did my roommate arrive? Like now?!'

Y/n turns the door knob and holy guacamolly—

“Wh- What you are? With me?”
