Searching for you

"Uh...what happened to tae? Why is he is smiling like that, at me?'' Jin asked warily as he sat beside taehyung.

He had only said a 'hey bitch' but this was the look he got in reply which was very weird, since the younger usually has a poker face on and would have gave him his middle finger in reply. Jin was looking at the younger male with a scared expression. Wondering what happened to the younger.

''Please stop it... you are scaring me with that smile.'' He hugged himself, with a shudder.

''Don't even ask that. His face seemed to have frozen in that expression. I tried to snap him out of it but he is been like that since a while.'' Jackson groaned slamming his forehead on the desk with a loud thump, then whined at the pain when he hit his head harder than he thought.

Jin poked where he hit his head with an evil grin making jackson scream hysterically at him. Taehyung didn't even seem like he heard jackson's scream which the whole college might have heard by now. He still smiled at the air, with his cheek resting on his palm while leaning on the desk.

''Does he realise how weird it is to see him stare at that skeleton wearing a bikini?'' Jin questioned, looking between taehyung and the poster of a skeleton wearing a pink bikini, above it was written the words 'Hey baby' in bold pink colour, sticked on the wall beside the blackboard. Probably, the art work of Bambam. The boy was a head ache for the professors.

''Hmm... I didn't think taehyung was into that.'' Jin smacked jackson's head who whined.

''Don't let him hear you.'' Jin said laughing.

''I don't think he can..'' Jackson said looking at the younger waving his hand infront of him.

''Nope, he can't.''

''What happened to him? Did he hit his head or something?'' Jin poked the ravenette's cheek who was still smiling. Jin quickly took his phone and clicked a photo with an evil smile. Taehyung didn't look he was aware of his surrounding.

The male's mind was somewhere else -- on someone else.

''Wait, he did! In the hallway. A fresh year from another department crashed onto him.'' Jackson exclaimed in realization. ''Maybe he hit his head and went crazy? He didn't even scold them, can you believe that?!'' Jackson said with wide eyes making jin gasp.

''He didn't? Then, there is something seriously wrong with him!'' Jin stated seriously. They both stared taehyung.

Jin looked at him with a worried expression. ''Should I be concerned? He looks strange with that smile. Tae, my dear... snap out of it!'' Jin smacked the younger's head who only giggled in return.

Jin gasped in horror. ''He giggles?! I didn't know he could do that!'' When Taehyung still didn't react Jin looked almost bored.

''Okay, maybe he has finally gone crazy. '' Jin said with a black face.

Everyone got in their seats when the professor entered the class. Jackson shook taehyung's shoulder which didn't help, so he turned the younger's male body towards the professor.

''Bambam! Get that poster out my class, right now!'' The professor yelled, making the said male jump in his seat.

''I am innocent!'' Bambam made big innocent eyes at him. The professor peered at with a blank look.

''Get it, out.'' He simply said.

''Yes, sir.'' The male pouted.

The rest of the class laughed as the professor pulled the male's ears, scolding him.

Throughout the class Taehyung had the smile still in place. Jackson and Jin looked so terrified seeing him still in that state. They almost jumped off their seats when their professor called taehyung's name.

''Well, this is rare. Taehyung? May we also know what is making you smile so wide today?''

''So pretty.'' Taehyung sighed dreamily. The professor looked baffled at the answer. The students snickered in the background.

''Excuse me?''

Pretty? Wait-- that's... Jackson's mind started turning at the word and then it clicked. The pretty fresh year boy?!

He gasped dramatically. ''Is he is in love or something?!'' He thought, quite aloud for the whole campus to hear. Jin jumped at the loud voice. But he looked even more surprised at the words. He looked at the younger and mentally shook his head.

What? No way, wait-- but really? Taehyung? Nope, not possible. Jackson must be high on chocolate or something. Jin thought and nodded to himself.

''Oh... d-did I say that aloud?'' Jackson scratched his head with a laugh. Jin facepalmed at the idiot of a friend.

''Ah... No wonder he is smiling like that. Please, Jin, do something to wake him from his dream world. Kids this days...'' The professor said with a sigh.

Taehyung is lucky that the teachers all love him. The guy might not look like it but he was a brilliant student. He was favoured by them all or he might have kicked him out of the class by now.

Jin tried shaking Taehyung, but then he resolved to slapping him-- it was solely for his own amusement-- which left a hand print on the younger's face, but he successfully managed to snap him out of his daze!

Taehyung better thank him.

''Oh, he is back. Finally.'' Jin muttered with a sweet smile but his eyes screamed 'bitch you better explain later' at Taehyung who blinked. Then touched his stinging cheeks with a hiss.

''Taehyung, I heard you are in love? Ahem Is that true?'' The professor asked with a cough not wanting to sound curious, which he was. Along with the whole class who were staring at Taehyung with hawk eyes, ready for some juicy topic to gossip.

It's not everyday you hear 'The Kim Taehyung', the sweetheart of teachers, heartthrob of their college and the definition of a perfect specimen is in love!

Who is that lucky one who stole his attention?

Taehyung felt his ears burn when everyone stared at him. But he put on his usual stoic face and shook his head with a cough.

''I think there has been a misunderstanding, right? Hyung?'' He looked at Jackson with a murderous glare. He don't know what happened but his hyung must be the one responsible.

''Y-yeah... Misunderstanding... Yes! I was talking about-- myself? Of course! Not Taehyung!'' Jackson laughed nervously.

''You said, 'he'.'' The professor pushed his glass on the bridge of his nose peering at the male suspiciously who was starting to sweat under the gaze.

''I... misspelled it?'' Jackson looked at Jin for help who quickly looked at his book which was upside down, feeling so studious all of a sudden.

Jackson gave him a nasty glare. Traitor!

''Mm... That's possibly, it's you after all. Ok, back to the lesson.'' The professor said drawing back the students' attention. Jackson felt so proud that he saved himself but why was Jin giving him disgusted looks?

And he purposefully chose to ignore Taehyung's murderous aura and chilling glares. He gulped sweating in his seat.

.........

The second time taehyung saw his Bambi was when he was fighting with some students of arts and music department.

Taehyung eyes had tried searching for the boy for the next few days but he never saw him. It almost felt like the bambi was hiding from his eyes.

He even went to the other departments which, many times, ended up in fights since the other departments didn't get along with each other. No one tried to stop the male, who was simply intimidating to even face.

Taehyung was known as 'tiger' since his first day of college after he beat up a senior who was famous for his bad ragging and nasty behaviour. The male tried to rag Jin. Oh boy, he choose the wrong one that day. Jin simply put Taehyung as a shield infront of him, too lazy to deal with the nonsense. His princess self can't care to be bothered by a bully. He got other priorities, like protecting his hairstyle from the wind. His bodyguard, that being Taehyung will deal with them.

The senior never ragged anyone after Taehyung dealt with him. Taehyung won the hearts of many in a single day, and of course, awakened fear in some others. But some does try to pick a fight, too prideful to back down when they really should. Taehyung hates losing after all.

''Taehyung, I don't think we should be here? You know sehun and his friends hate you from the bottom of their hearts!'' Jackson, for the nth time tried to convince the younger.

But the younger was hell bent on finding the boy from the hallway. Jackson regretted telling him that the boy was from other department. Taehyung started going through every department one by one in the search of the boy for days.

Jackson and Yoongi was dragged along, against their will. While Jin was way too ready and happy to come along, for some reason. He didn't complain like the diva he was, which was very weird.

''Like, are you sure your bambi is even here?'' Yoongi yawned as he dragged his feets behind Taehyung with a bored expression. The only reason he came with them was because he wanted to see the boy who stole the younger's heart. Taehyung went crazy after meeting the mysterious boy. And of course, fights, he loved to watch them. Taehyung was a good fighter, he never disappointed yoongi. That was the another reason he tagged along.

''I just want to see the one who stole Taehyung's peace. The one who made our Kim Taehyung search for him like crazy without even knowing.'' Jin giggled, speaking yoongi's thoughts aloud.

''I am regretting taking you guys with me.'' Taehyung said in a monotone voice.

''I don't want to get in any fight anymore! I am on my last warning. If my oldman finds out I am dead!'' Jackson cries shaking yoongi with a melodramatic gasp. Yoongi gave him an unimpressed look.

''Please, you haven't even lifted a finger. Taehyung is one fighting, not you. Why are being hysterical then?'' Yoongi pushed the younger on Jin's arms who catched him like a prince with a groan.

''Yet, it's me who gets in trouble in the end. I wonder how?'' Jackson looked up at the older with a pout. Jin made a disgusted face. He was a princess not a prince. ''Get off me you pig.'' Jin yeeted the male in the air. Dusting his hands and flipped his shoulder length pink hair sassily.

They walked forward leaving a dramatic Jackson on the floor.

''I am so unloved...'' Jackson sobbed touching his heart with an emotional face. The students around him looked at him weirdly and avoided going near him.

''Get your ass here!'' Jin screamed back at him. Jackson quickly dropped his emotional face and got up with a salute.

''Yes, Mom!''

''I hope a fight starts already, I am bored and sleepy.'' Yoongi muttered bored.

''You are always sleepy.'' Jin stated with a roll of his eyes.

''Stop hoping for fights!'' Jackson said with a glare.

''...'' Yoongi didn't reply to them.

There was always fight among the departments over petty issues. So the students avoided going into other departments' building. Taehyung always found their fights petty or meaningless. He never wanted to involve himself in the departments fights, ever. That's what he said.

But... he ended up doing that, anyway.
