Flames
<Days passed and Taehyung became more and more obsessed with you. He would follow you to class, to the cafeteria, even to the bathroom. His friends would tease him, calling him a 'love sick puppy'. But Taehyung didn't care. He was determined to make you his>
<His friends watched him carefully. "She's like ice," one said. "And he's throwing himself on it, hoping not to get hurt." Another friend chuckled "He's going to get frozen." A third friend nodded "She doesn't even look at him. Like he's air.">
<Meanwhile, you continued your daily life as if nothing had changed. You ignored Taehyung's presence, his whispers, his attempts to get your attention. You were like a calm sea while he was a storm, crashing against your shore but unable to break through. One day, something changed>
<"She ignored his 'Happy Birthday' post," His friend pointed out. "She ignored his cute pics. She didn't reply to his messages. She didn't acknowledge his existence. He's losing interest." His friends thought. But they were wrong. Next day, something happened that shocked you. You were in the library doing your research on Genetic engineering for your assignment>
<You were deeply engrossed in your book, your hair little messy. Your expressions were serious, your brows furrowed in concentration. You didn't hear the soft footsteps approaching you. suddenly someone pulled out the chair beside you and sat down>
<You were so concentrated that you didn't even lift your head. The person sat down quietly, his eyes fixed on you. He saw your messy hair, your serious expression, your focused eyes. He felt something stir inside him. Something strong. Something possessive. It was Taehyung>
<He sat there for a moment, just watching you. Then, he reached out and gently took the book from your hands. You finally looked up, your eyes meeting his for the first time. They were cold, unreadable, just like always. But Taehyung didn't care. He had a plan>
Taehyung
You're really into this genetics thing, huh?
<He said, his voice was low and smooth. He opened the book and started flipping through the pages, his fingers brushing against yours as he did so. You pulled your hand back immediately, your eyes narrowing slightly>
Jemisha
Give me back my book
<He smiled, holding the book just out of your reach>
Taehyung
Not until you talk to me..
<He said, his eyes locked on yours. You stood up abruptly, trying to grab the book from him. But he was faster. He stood up too, holding the book high above your head>
<He looked down at you, his smile growing wider. "About us." He said simply. You scoffed, trying to reach for the book again. But it was useless. He was too tall and too strong>
<You said coldly. His expression darkened slightly at your words>
<He muttered, stepping closer to you. He lowered the book, putting it behind his back so you couldn't grab it. You glared up at him, your small frame trying to intimidate him. He found it amusing>
Jemisha
What is your name again?
Taehyung
Like you don't know?
<He leaned in closer, his height advantage clear>
<He paused, looking down at your lips briefly before meeting your eyes again>
Taehyung
And don't change the subject
<His voice was dangerously low, almost a growl>
Jemisha
So Taehyung what is your problem?
<His eyes narrowed, his jaw clenching. He hated when you used his name like that, so cold and detached>
<He repeated, his voice rising slightly>
Taehyung
You are my problem
Taehyung
You ignore me. You act like I don't exist. You don't reply to my messages. You don't look at my pictures. You don't celebrate my birthday. You're like a damn ice queen. So tell me, how am I the problem here?
<He snapped softly, his eyes stormy>
Jemisha
Why do you think I should give a damn about you?
Taehyung
Because, I give a damn about you
Taehyung
Because I've been trying to get your attention for months. Because I like you, okay? I fucking like you
<He admitted, his voice shaking slightly with frustration and something else, something deeper>
Jemisha
I don't. I am not interested in you so I'd suggest you to leave me alone.
<He felt like someone had punched him in the gut. He'd never heard you speak so coldly to anyone, let alone him>
Taehyung
Fine I'll live you alone
<He said through gritted teeth.He turned and walked away, the book was forgotten on the table>
<For the next few weeks, Taehyung kept his promise. He didn't message you, he didn't look at you in class, he didn't try to talk to you or get your attention in any way. He acted like you didn't exist, just like you wanted. And you too simply focused on your studies>
<But the change only lasted so long. One day, you noticed a group of students gathered outside the bathroom, whispering softly. As you approached, they fell silent. You pushed through and found Taehyung leaning against the wall, blood trickling from his lip. His eyes were dark, almost frightening to others>
<He looked up as you approached, his gaze locking with yours. For a moment, something flashed in his eyes - relief, hope, desperation. But it was quickly replaced by that dark, dangerous look again>
<He growled at the gathered students, who scattered like cockroaches>
<He turned to you suddenly>
<He said coldly, pushing off from the wall and stepping closer. He towered over you, his presence was intimidating but you were also in a bad mood so you snapped back at him>
Jemisha
Do I look like I want to stay huh stupid arrogant son of a bitch
<His eyes widened slightly at your sudden outburst. He hadn't expected you to speak like that, especially not like this. He stepped closer still so that his nose was almost touching yours. His voice was dangerously low when he spoke next>
<A low growl rumbled in his throat at your dismissive sound. His hand shot out, gripping your chin tightly>
Taehyung
You think you can just say whatever you want to me?
<He hissed, his face inches from yours>
Taehyung
I could snap your neck right here and now
Jemisha
And what about you?Do you think you can talk to me however you like? I have no interest in seeing you and yet you snapped at me telling me to leave as if I wanted to stay to begin with
<His grip on your chin tightened painfully. You were right, he realized. He'd been an asshole to you from the start. He'd pushed you away when he wanted nothing more than to pull you close>
Taehyung
Then why are you here?
<He demanded, his voice cracking with emotion he couldn't control>
Jemisha
It's a damn college where I study now don't pour your frustration on me because I ain't the one to take it
<His eyes narrowed dangerously, his anger boiling over. He hated that you were so indifferent towards him. He hated that you weren't afraid of him like everyone else. He hated that you weren't fawning over him like other girls did>
Taehyung
I don't even like you
<He spat out, releasing your chin abruptly. He took a step back, running a hand through his hair in frustration>
Taehyung
You're annoying, cold, and heartless. I don't like you at all
<But his voice lacked conviction, betraying his true feelings>
<His jaw clenched, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light>
Taehyung
You know what else?
Taehyung
I bet you're ugly underneath all that indifference. I bet you're hideous, with a face only a mother could love
<His anger only grew as you continued to ignore his insults. He couldn't believe this girl was so calm, so unfazed by his words. It only made him want to hurt her more, to break through that cold exterior>
Taehyung
You're probably a virgin too
<He watched as you laughed, the sound sending a shiver down his spine. It was the first real reaction he'd gotten out of you and it only fuelled his anger>
Taehyung
What's so funny? Bitch
<He snarled, stepping closer to you once again>
Jemisha
Your pathetic mouth what else now move aside
<He froze at your words. You weren't like the other girls. You didn't swoon over him, you didn't fear him, you didn't try to sleep with him. You were indifferent, almost hostile. He moved aside, watching as your dark hair cascaded down your back when you walked past him>
<He watched as you walked away, his mind racing with unspent anger and something else he couldn't identify. He unconsciously adjusted his crotch, finding himself hard despite the situation. Your indifference was driving him crazy in a way no other girl had before>
