Love Is Bound ‖ ✓

chapter 3

“Wh- What you are? With me?”

A mild chuckle wafts in the atmosphere. "Why? Are you not happy to know that I'm your new roomie?" A certain someone comes and taps the brunette's chin, indicating to close her gaping hole. "Taehyung I- wow, I did not expect you to be my roommate." She plods inside the drawing room.

"What are the chances? Is it destiny?" Taehyung ridiculously wiggles his brows teasing y/n. "Pfft. I don't believe in fates and destinies. So keep on dreaming." Y/n places the keys in the bowl, kept at the centre table.

"Right then. That's your room and don't you dare touch my hair accessories or you know what, you'll be bald the next day." Y/n warns in the most threatening yet beguiling way.

"Damn. You girls!"

☕

It is almost midnight. The late November wind is strong and cold. The street lights flickering at times often catching the brunette's attention.

At present she is busy with her English assignments. 'Man, English won't leave your tail even after high school.' She sighs at the dismal thought. It is true she chose to major in music yet she is here completing her English assignments.

Not like she hates English but the person who teaches the subject, yeah very well. The teacher is all about assignments and submissions. The students are already burdened with their annual projects. And along with the job applications, it is just cumbersome.

Y/n sees her phone lighting up, doing the same to her face. It is Jimin calling her. Why won't she be happy now?

"Hey baby, you are not asleep?" The girl's lips lift upwards hearing her boyfriend's voice ever so cheerful. "No, I had some pending works. Why did you call though?" Is that even a question to ask a boyfriend? No, right? But let's rewind...

They are in a secret relationship.

Jimin has forbidden any phone calls. Y/n does obey him though sometimes her heart just won't listen. She used to send some heartfelt messages or maybe just the usual greetings.

"I missed you so much", y/n giggles listening to his restless whines. "Aw. That's sweet. By the way the funniest thing happened today– you know Taehyung is my new roommate!" Y/n chuckles knowing the least about the tumult of feelings that is dwelling in other's guts. Funny, right?

"The Taehyung you were giving a tour to?" The boy enquires as the girl hums. "Huh. Ok. I'll see you tomorrow. Good night y/n."

Although phone calls has the least to play a part in their relationship, for the matter of calls that did count, this was the most awkward conversation they ever had. Y/n tilts her head in confusion but shrugs it off.

| Next Day

'I'm late. I'm so late. Fuck it.'

Y/n leaps off her bed shoving her toothbrush into her mouth. Taking a shower at this time was not an option.

'7:50! Fuck. I'll take a shower later. How am I reaching the cafeteria in fucking seconds? Aaah'

Yes. The girl does whine and curse mentally. A lot to be accurate. She runs to her room successfully waking her newly arrived roommate. She throws on a random hoodie and limps about the room with one of her legs stuck in her jeans.

Thud!

"Y/n are you okay?" Taehyung asks, who just walked into the kitchen drowning in drowsiness. "I'm fine", she yelps opening the door. Marching to the basin she washes her face and then, she is out. The boy was confused as hell rubbing his eyelids that threatens to fall.

Y/n is running as if her life depended on it. "Finally, I'm here." She huffs in front of the cafeteria. "Y/n, oh my god. You look like you ran a marathon." Jennie grins, picturing the scenario that must have happened. "Did I win or not?" Y/n asks still panting.

"Sure did girl", Jennie chuckles, playing along.

☕

Y/n is wiping the table. '8:40. Good!' she thinks as she takes off the apron tied around her waist. "Miss Hwang, I'm done with my shift for now. I'm leaving." A middle aged woman comes walking out of the kitchen. "Y/n wait. Here's your pay." The girl bows with a smile.

After the brunette reaches her apartment, she takes a long relaxing shower.

'9:17. Handful of time left.'

The day kicks off pretty good. She is sure it's going to be a pleasant day. She has completed all her assignments and maybe she can proceed with the piece she is working on for the talent hunt program.

It is held every year for the students for job opportunities. Also, another reason such as to wrap up the year with some happy faces.

In a matter of seconds y/n reaches her homeroom. She pushes the door open. That is the very moment when her happiness is snatched from her like a lollipop.

"Guys, why don't you two date?" She hears Jimin chuckle. But that is not it. He has a girl, possibly from the visual designing department, sitting on his lap enjoying with the popular guys or let's just say enjoying her seat.

"I'm serious." Hoseok says in his signature loud cheerful voice. "Minseo is single. And of course Jimin is too. Plus both of you have a good chemistry." Minseo blushes. "No, Hoseok." Jimin denies. "Why, don't you like me?" The girl sitting on his lap teased him with her stupid smirk.

"It's not like that Seo, I just- let's just say I'm not interested in a relationship." Jimin voices out as he notices a certain someone standing at the door.

'Not interested? Very obvious, Park Jimin.'

The brunette thinks as she plods to her seat, trying to ignore what hurt her the most. Not like this is something new. The whole university thinks Jimin is single but only if it were to be true. Y/n has the hardest time when it comes down to this. She can not budge into their matter either. So it is better to gulp the pain away.

"Why don't we go on a date this Sunday? We'll see if it changes your mind about relationships." Minseo's voice starts to grow on y/n. She trieyd not to hear anything but it just keeps ringing like an annoying tune.

'I wish I would've been late...'

She decides to talk to herself but after listening to next part of the conversation, her heart drops.

“Just one date...”
