A/N: BTS killed at the BBMAs. A round of applause for the kings. Loved the performance and everything about their presence 😍

"Nana ready?", Hoseok's voice echoed in the house and I yelled from my room. "Give me 5 minutes". Hastily I put on my earrings and a pair of kitten heels. "Bag bag bag..", I chanted to myself as I looked through my bed for a small cross body bag that Jennie had gifted me.

I put it on with my pastel pink dress which I had managed to buy after searching the mall for an entire hour. One last look at myself in the mirror, I nodded. I looked good - I mean not Irene from Red Velvet good but at least presentable and distinctively more groomed than my everyday 'looks like they beg on the streets' look.

I quickly walked out to see Hobi standing there with the car keys as he looked at me. Dramatically he placed a hand on his chest and pretended to tumble. "Oh my Nana, you look so pretty"

I blushed as I slapped his arm. "You are so extra Hobi but thank you. And might I say, you look very handsome yourself. I can only imagine people lining up to be with you for a dance. But mind you, don't scold any of them if they don't get it right"

Hoseok chuckled. "I will try not to, shall we go now?"

I nodded and we made way to our car. Grandpa had gone to visit his relatives and as a result he wasn't around but as requested by him we were supposed to send him a picture of us which I did.

We drove to the university in Hobi's car. Just as we pulled in to the campus, I was awed. Men in tuxedos and women in spring dresses made their way inside. The entire campus had been adorned in lanterns and fairy lights. It almost felt like I was in a movie set. It was that pretty.

We parked our car and got out. "Shall we?", Hoseok extended his hand and I smiled as I wrapped my hand around his and we walked in. Everyone looked so pretty and handsome, I couldn't take my eyes off them.

There was a lot of commotion behind us and I turned to see what had happened. A shining black Maserati pulled up and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. Who could this be?

The door opened and I wasn't at all prepared for the sight. Everyone gasped as they saw Taehyung and Jungkook step out from the car, looking like royalty.

"Is that professor Taehyung... fuck.."

"Damn, he could run me over with that car and I would kiss his feet.."

"Who is that gorgeous man with him? I feel attacked..."

"I never imagined I would say this for my professor but he looks such daddy material... I will take him right here and right now..."

"He just needs to say it once and I will be on my knees.."

I ignored the thirst comments from behind me, too focused on the man walking towards us. He was wearing a pink suit, just like me? What ! How ? Why were we twinning unintentionally?

His eyes met mine and he smirked before winking and I swear If I wasn't holding Hobi's arm, I would have fallen to the ground. At this point, if the music wasn't this loud, everyone would probably be hearing my heartbeats. Damn it, why would he do this to me?

Hoseok saw Nana staring at Taehyung like a lovestruck being. He didn't know if he should be happy for her or worried that she was falling for the devil?

He was brought back to present when Taehyung and Jungkook stepped in front of them. "Hobi Hyung", Jungkook's honey like voice made him smile as he stepped ahead to give the man a hug.

"Nana you look beautiful", Jungkook complemented me and I just smiled shyly, not being able to speak. I felt Taehyung's eyes on me and I had grown so conscious that my stare was just glued to the ground. Taehyung cleared his throat and I looked up. Hoseok and Jungkook looked at each other before the younger nudged the older to leave the other two alone.

"Me and Hyung are gonna go get something to drink, we will be back", they said before escaping from there. I wanted to ask them to stay back and not leave me alone but before I could say anything, the duo had already left.

"So pink huh? Why did you copy me?", he asked tilting his head and smirking. I scoffed. "I did not copy you. You copied me. You were supposed to wear that purple one but you wore this instead"

"I never said I was going to wear the purple one? But did you want me to wear that?"

"No, I never said you should wear that.."

"So you mean to say I looked bad in that? Because I clearly remember you saying I looked good"

"No of course you looked good in that", I replied hastily. "But then why did you wear pink?"

"Why can't I wear pink? Does it look bad? Do I look ugly?"

"NO.. NO YOU LOOK VERY HANDSOME", I yelled in defense and instantly put a hand over my mouth as I saw Taehyung try to suppress a smile. The fuck was I doing? He was toying with me and I let him. Angrily I stomped away from there leaving the man alone there. Taehyung smirked as he watched Nana leave.

He stood outside the restaurant waiting for Hoseok to come out. The door opened and an apron clad Hoseok walked out, a menu in hand. "What do you want devil? I am working here"

"I need your help Hoseok"

"My help?", the younger asked. "Why?"

"I want to know what color is Nana's dress"

"How am I supposed to know that?", Hoseok scoffed. "I know you don't know that, that is why you will find it our for me", Taehyung replied.

Hoseok raised an eyebrow. "What do you need that information for?"

"Well I need it. So are you going to find it for me or not?", Taehyung was getting impatient now.

"What do I get?", Hoseok smirked knowing he could very well use this situation in his benefit.

"I know this was going to happen. Say no more", with that Taehyung ran to his car and came back later with four big shopping bags. "Latest Balenciaga sneakers, three Kaws limited edition dolls, Supreme x Louis Vuitton bag and Vetements hoodie"

Hoseok's eyes widened as he looked into the bags. "Consider it a little token of appreciation for your efforts", Taehyung handed them over to him.

"Fine, you will get your information Kim. Give me 24 hours"

Taehyung nodded. "Don't play with me Jung. I am paying you well to get the deal. Don't disappoint the devil"

"Oh shut up with your drama", Hoseok scoffed. "I have work to get done". With that he picked up the bags and walked back into the restaurant.

Taehyung was sitting in his apartment when his phone pinged.

Text from Hoseok : Pastel Pink

Taehyung smiled as he called the designer store. "Please send the pink suit over"

———•••———

I sipped on my mocktail as I watched Taehyung at a distance. He was talking to some other professors. Jennie was beside me, standing quietly. I had seen her steal glances at Jungkook and I reminded myself to ask her if she was interested in that man. Hoseok was popular among girls - I had seen him flirting with three different girls at three different places and I thought I should change his name from HOSEOK to HOESEOK.

There was a formal announcement for dance to begin as the orchestra started playing. I looked around as people came to the dance floor with their partners. Even in this crowd, my eyes landed on Taehyung who was already looking in my direction. I watched him walk towards where I was and I was glued to my spot.

I really wanted nothing more to dance with him. Mustering some courage, I took a step ahead until someone pushed past me from behind. I stumbled and Jennie helped me as Nami emerged in her expensive gown and heels higher than Burj Khalifa.

She walked towards Taehyung and I realized that maybe the man was approaching her and not me. I felt awkward as I stepped back. This was just like when you thought someone was waving at you but turns out they were waving at the person behind you. My embarrassment level just reached the stratosphere.

Taehyung walked towards Nana to ask her until someone stepped in front of him. He looked down to see Nami standing there as she smiled at him. "Professor can I have this dance..".

"Um actually....", Taehyung began but stopped as he watched Nana disappear from the crowd.

"Please Professor, I admire you so much and I would love to have this dance with you. Just one dance.."

Taehyung got restless as he saw Nana disappear completely from his sight. He sighed as he turned back to Nami who was looking at him with puppy dog eyes. "Fine. But just one dance". After this dance, he would look for Nana and get her on the dance floor and slow dance to all his favorite songs all night.

I stepped away from the dance floor to make way for the couples who were approaching the floor. I looked at Taehyung dancing with Nami. It hurt me to admit, but they looked good together. Nami was pretty and as rich as he was. He sure would take a liking to her. Plus unlike me, he never scolded her, she always got an A and he let her off for all her mistakes. He must truly like her.

Hoseok looked happy dancing with a girl. Even Jennie and Jungkook were dancing. Nami was smiling at something Taehyung said. Everyone looked like they were having fun except for me. I sighed. Maybe I should go back. Standing here and looking at others only made me feel bad and lonely.

One last look at everyone, I walked out of the gathering towards the exit door. My eyes stung a bit but I composed myself. It was all my fault for having a stupid crush. I knew Taehyung was way out of my league yet I like him. I brought this upon myself.

I could have just had a crush on a normal college boy who was hooked to Fortnite and supported some crappy football team but no.. I had to go and give my heart to someone who wasn't even Human, had powers and could kill people even without touching them yet managed to look like a model 24/7 and smelled like Lavenders and all things nice.

I reached the bus station and sat on the cold bench waiting for the bus to come until my eyes fell on an ice-cream shop across the street.

I could really use some ice cream right now.

———•••———

I stabbed the spoon into the bowl of ice cream as I stuffed my face with the sugary goodness. Lord knows why I bought a family sharing tub for myself. Ignoring the numerous brain freezes that I was having and the cluttering of my teeth, I put one more spoonful in my mouth until an anonymous yet familiar voice spoke.

"Wow you must either really like chocolate ice cream or you just have the appetite of an elephant"

I put the spoon down as I turned back with a mouthful of ice cream in my mouth, only to be met with a smiling James standing there as he looked at me.
