One more week went by, Taehyung again walked through the same corridor he passed the day he first met Venom. Yet after so many months, he walked through the same corridor with same heavy bag pack walking up towards his locker. A click and the door of the locker opened. The same rusty fungus smell erupted showering so many memories at once.

Yet now not a bullied nerd was standing here but Kim Taehyung, the one without any fear of Hoshi coming from behind and ending up beating him, picking on him everywhere he saw him. Nor any hazel eyed angel driving him crazy to chase after her, and always leaving him frustrated and alone.

This Kim Taehyung was the one who went to cafe to meet his savior. He was well dressed today shinning from head to toe. His hairs dyed a striking shade of silver, his face fresh as a morning glory and he seemed like the new person born today to live his life and make a new start.

But was his life really going to change? Isn't it changed already?

From today, something so unexpected was to happen that Taehyung never thought would happen. As Taehyung made his way through the bustling crowd of students, some of them couldn't help but glance at him as if he was reborn as someone else.

However, Taehyung paid them no mind, keeping his gaze fixed ahead as he headed straight for his classroom. As a member of the senior batch, he knew that his college days were drawing to a close, soon this would all be over but before that he surely will get the taste of his college life that he always wanted to.

Oh, isn't that Kim Taehyung?

You mean The Kim Taehyung? That stupid nerd, no way!

He is back? I thought he left.

Kim Taehyung? Are you sure? This one look hot.

Nah that ain't him. Damn man he's so handsome. Hotter than the sun I swear.

Mm, He evokes my appetite, yummy.

Taehyung couldn't help but think of how people could have hearts of wolves under the skin of a sheep. Their views for a person could change in the blink of an eye. Coming down to his desk he sat down quietly while many faces showed the urge to sit with the handsome male. Yet none could dare when she was there. He felt someone plop down beside him, it made him annoyed to how people wanted to befriend him just for his looks.

"Excuse me but this seat-"

He stopped altogether as soon as his gaze landed on that familiar face.

In that fleeting moment, it was as if time itself had frozen. The world around Taehyung came to a standstill, with the clock freezing in place, refusing to continue its relentless ticking. The air grew heavy and tranquil, as if holding its breath in anticipation. The bustling crowd of people seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving him surrounded by a profound silence.

Within this suspended reality, all Taehyung could hear was the thunderous rhythm of his own heartbeat reverberating in his ears. The sound echoed through the chambers of his chest, a constant reminder of his existence in this suspended state that she entranced upon him.

The same hazel eyes he saw and fell in love with at first glance.

The same eyes he felt being pulled towards and drawn to them.

The same eyes he always wanted to peer in and solve the puzzles they hid.

The same eyes that brought huge turn of events in his life, only if Taehyung could see the disasters behind every sweet smile of hers.

Yet he was just thinking one thing.

She is here.

She is really here, sitting right there by his side.

Then, like a gentle breeze stirring the stillness, as she locked eyes with him. In that instant, the tranquility shattered, and the world rushed back into motion. The spell was broken, and the symphony of life resumed its vibrant melody, filling the void that had momentarily enveloped him.

"It's not very nice to deny a lady"

"Jiahn?" It came out like a question this time.

"OH MY GOD, YOU" he pointed a finger towards Venom whose gaze fell from his face to his finger and rose back staring straight into his soul.

"YOU, I'm dreaming, am I? I am right? I must be, I-I think the dose's effect hasn't worn off yet" He mumbled to himself.

"Ah~ Kim Taehyung, Wakeup man, You can't be" His wide eyes staring into hers.

"Can't be what?" Venom bit back a smirk.

"You spoke again? I'm not dreaming?" Taehyung questioned himself more. Grabbing Taehyung by his wrist she pulled him along stepping out of the class.

"Jiahn?" He called out while venom kept dragging him away from the classroom.

She retraced her steps, rounding the familiar corner right where she left him before. It was in this very spot that, in a moment of anger and thirst for revenge, she had left the with a way to left him in her hell. Now, almost unexpectedly, history seemed to repeat itself as she found herself being swiftly turned around and pressed firmly against the wall. Her back met the unyielding surface, and Taehyung stood before her, holding her caged with his large hands on either side of hers, securing her in place. The intensity of the situation was palpable, with tension hanging thick in the air.

"You came" He spoke with warm orbs peering deep in hers. Venom stared back at the boy in utter silence.

Once again, they were in a very similar situation.

Once again, she was to answer the questions but not from the targeted boy on her radar but the one whom she adored now.

Once again, she was made to look him in the eye. But would it all end the same way just like that day. Will she leave him again like that day? Hanging by neck.

"Why did you let go of me?" Taehyung inched closer, his hands gliding down from the wall toward her face. Venom could feel a tingling sensation coursing through her stomach, intensifying with each passing second as he approached.

The mixture of anticipation and uncertainty heightened the sensations within her, creating a whirlwind of emotions that swirled in her core. The closeness between them sparked an electric energy, an undeniable connection that left her both breathless and exhilarated.

"T-Taehyung" As Taehyung's hands gently cupped her face, a rush of warmth enveloped the former, causing her heart to flutter in her chest. It was as if his touch ignited a fire within her, spreading a comforting heat that resonated through her very being.

In that tender moment, his hands cradling her face, she felt a profound sense of affection and a deep connection forming between them. The simple act of his touch awakened a myriad of emotions, leaving her feeling both cherished and alive.

"Why did you come back?"

"I-" She stuttered.

"I came back for y-you"

"Why me?"

'Cause, I love you!

"'Cause, I care about you"

"Why do you care about me?"

"I-I, Taehyung, I-" Without warning, Taehyung interrupted her thoughts and swiftly pulled her into a warm and tight embrace, drawing her close against his chest. His arms enveloped her, creating a sense of safety and comfort as he nestled his face in the crook of her neck.

Venom could feel his affectionate embrace, his closeness generating a rush of emotions within her. The world seemed to fade away in that moment as the warmth of their embrace enveloped them both, creating a space where nothing else mattered except the connection they shared.

"You have no idea how much I missed you Jiahn, oh please never let go of me like that, I-I care about you too much to bear your absence, I don't want to be alone now, please never let go of me again" Venom was taken aback by his actions and words, there was no anger or interrogation, all he did was embrace her back with pure affection that she needed, for the first time it felt like there was someone who could understand without the crutches of some mere words.

Taehyung understood her.

For some reason, her eyes started to moisten up, her heart fluttered along with this unknown yet intense feeling erupting inside her.

She held onto him tightly, cherishing the familiar scent that had become a source of solace for her. Surrounded by his comforting aroma, she felt herself surrender to the moment, allowing all worries and troubles to fade away. The world outside ceased to exist as she embraced the pure bliss of this moment, finding ease in the arms of the one who brought her such comfort. In his embrace, it felt like she could simply be herself, free from any judgments or expectations, living in the present and basking in the overwhelming sense of utter comfort.

"I missed you too" She mumbled against his chest cherishing the sweet essence of comfort the former provided with her.

"Thank you for coming back Jiahn" He smiled warmly. "Don't leave me again like that, okay?"

Venom peered up into his eyes. There was no disguise. pure sincerity, respect and love. So pure of any haunting darkness underneath.

"I won't leave you ever again Kim Taehyung. Never"

In that powerful moment, their eyes remained locked, an unspoken longing passing between them. Taehyung felt an overwhelming desire to lean in and kiss the love of his life, but he resisted, determined not to repeat past mistakes and risk their connection. The weight of previous events weighed heavily on his mind, urging caution and restraint.

On the other hand, Venom yearned for that kiss, his caring yet desperate touch that burned her existence with every caress, her heart echoing with the desire for their lips to meet, to feel that same intimacy from last night. However, the memories of her actions lingered in her thoughts, causing hesitation and doubt. Both of them stood there, engaged in an internal battle, their emotions clashing with their fears. Neither took the first step, fearful of the potential consequences that lay ahead, all while unaware that circumstances had changed.

Yet, in that stillness, something shifted. The air crackled with unspoken tension, signaling what new laid ahead. Only time would reveal whether they would embrace the new chapter of their lives or remain trapped in the shadows of the past.

There were still lots of curtains to fall, still so much to come out.

For Taehyung, he believed he knew the girl with hazel eyes yet she was a dark mystery.

For Venom, she believed the boy was an angel but what she knew about him was true? Was it all enough that she came to know?

From a thousand curtains in between an angel and a demon fell in love. A forbidden sin with no way to repent. Was this love right to be born?
