Taehyung's Pov

"What?", she pulled away immediately and shot me an astonishing look. I know this is too early but I don't think I can control my feelings anymore. Not when she appears in front of me every day. I looked at her confused figure and stepped closer. Her fingers, aggressively fidgeting could tell how nervous she is.

"I really like you Nazeera", I repeated my words and tried to reach her hand but she stepped back.

"I don't understand what you are speaking. If this is some kind of prank, please stop. I don't find it funny at all. What do you mean by you like me? Tell me you are joking. I know you just want to play-", she started ranting and I caught her wrist pulling her close. Her words got muffled at my sudden gesture and she let out a gasp. If this is how she reacts to my actions, I don't think I can stop my feelings towards her. She is too sensitive.

"It's not a prank Nazeera. I am telling the truth. I like you Nazeera and I mean it", my voice was stern and it took a moment for her to process my words. She started wiggling her hands to get out of my hold, but I am not letting her go. Why does she always try to escape?

"Just leave me Taehyung", she yelled and I released her. I was shocked at her sudden rise in voice. Her voice is usually calm and she speaks in a very low tone. Is she mad at me? Oh No! What did you do Kim Taehyung?

"How many times should I tell you not to touch me? Just because you like to and that I can't fight against your strength, you can't take advantage of me", she grumbled with tears in her eyes. No, no! This is not what I wanted. I just wanted to confess. I don't want to make her cry.

"I am sorry Nazeera", I immediately apologized not wanting to lose her. I was never attracted to a girl like her till now. She is different and holds the charms that I couldn't escape from. I never thought I would like someone in such a short span of time. Did I make the wrong decision in confessing my feelings?

"Please leave me now. Thank you for buying the violin. And I will pay you back soon", she mouthed and sped her steps away from. I know running behind her would not help. She must have been stupefied with my sudden confession of feelings.

"Nazeera", I mumbled to myself and frowned. I never expected her to react like this. Shit! Does she know the route from here? I know she is not used to the city. And she gets lost very easily. I started walking behind her to check if she is going in the right way.

I sighed in relief as she was walking in the right way. She took the subway and so did I. But I made sure not to be in her line of sight. Catching me following her would only add to her dismay. It was funny how I have to find something to hide just in case she turns around. People would definitely mistake me for a creep.

I noticed her walking faster than usual. I am worried if she takes my words for otherwise. I have no intention of playing with her. I just want to try it out. I have never been in a relationship and the first one to catch the heart is always special.

As I reached the spot where she usually asks me to stop, I halted my steps. She didn't turn back for once as she rushed to her house in haste. I pulled the binoculars out of my bag and smiled as I looked at her figure, reaching her home.

Honestly, I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I was not expecting her to accept my feelings or like back either. But that anger and disgust in her eyes are not what I wished for.

I entered the dorm and straight away walked to my room, ignoring the members who were gathered in the living room. I just want to be alone now. As I plopped myself on the bed, my thoughts trailed around what happened today.

I remember promising her that I will not touch her until unless she feels comfortable and look at what I did today. Why did I go out of control? Ugh! I should have not held her when she doesn't like it. Did I spoil everything?

"Taehyung ah, are you okay?", Jimin's voice snapped me out of thoughts. He came in, looking worried. But all that concerns me now is her reaction. How will I face her tomorrow? Will she even talk to me? Will she hate me?

"I am fine Jimin ah. Just tired", I lied as I don't want him to know about this matter. He will do anything to help me. Maybe, even talk to Nazeera and that's the last thing I want. She is not an easy-going one.

"Oh really? I can definitely tell when V ssi lies. Did you forget that I am your best friend?", he placed his hand on my shoulder and sat down beside me. How dumb of me trying to cover up in front of him? I have grown with him and did I expect him to believe my lie. Taehyung, you are just getting big in height and small in the brain as the days pass by. Well! This is a remarkable achievement.

"Girl problems?", he raised his brows and I nodded. It's not amusing that he guessed it so right.

"I looked so restless when it was related to Yuri and isn't it obvious? Nazeera, right?", he smiled and I nodded in agreement. Was it so evident? But I never made my feelings seem transparent to anyone here.

"I don't know Jimin ah, I just realized I like her. And you know I just couldn't control myself from blurting those words", I sighed, remembering her moist eyes. I should have just kept my feelings for myself.

"Oh, man! I thought you are actually confused about your feelings and are restless about it. But here you are, already realized your feelings, and damn, you have seriously confessed to her. V ssi! You are too fast", he slapped my arm playfully and I let out a smile. True to his words, I rushed things.

"I shouldn't have rushed things", I uttered, feeling guilty for the mess I have created.

"Too early better than too late", he smiled squeezing my hands.

"I knew that you were having some feelings for her when you kept on bugging her for no reason. And why would you walk her to her house every day?", I was bumfuzzled at his words. How did he know?

"I kept observing you and Jungkook also accompanied me. We won't stop you though. Whatever it is, be true to your feelings. If your heart beats for her, don't ever lose her.", he stated as a matter of fact and I agreed. After all, he knows it better.

"But she hates me now. She just left crying when I confessed her", I revealed and lowered my head.

"It's okay Taehyung ah. She must have her reasons. Don't you think she is a bit reserved and hails from a conservative background? Do you think it would be easy for her to consider a confession when you met her just a few days ago? Above all, your playful behavior towards her till now will never let her believe you so quick", he mouthed and I can't deny any further.

Nazeera was completely different from the girls I have seen. She never hangs out in the evening and straight away goes to her house. She doesn't talk to people often. Also, I have never been sweet to her. I always teased her and kept annoying her. How could I expect her to be considerate towards my feelings? I am a dumbass now.

"You are right, Jimin ah. Thanks for the talk. I think feel better now. I just rushed things and I know it isn't the right thing. I will try to convince her by slow steps and mend the mess I have created", I professed and hugged him.

"Remember, we should always be there for each other and never hide anything from me", he ordered in a playful tone and I smiled, pulling out of the hug.

"Now, shall we head to the studio, it's time already", he showed the watch, gesturing that we are out of time and I nodded. We headed to the living room and everyone looked at us.

"Yoongi hyung called, just now", Jungkook mouthed and I gave a questioning gaze at them.

"He told us that he is doing fine there and the training is going well. They are teaching him the same choreo as us. He just added some changes to the music and sent the file", Jin hyung announced and we both nodded.

We are practicing for Run now, our new song. Yoongi hyung is doing practice from there and will be here by the end of next month. I miss him a lot. I am eagerly waiting for days to pass to meet him and hug him tightly.

I reached the academy early today and left Jimin to find some excuse to convey to the other members that I went out. I came for her. I don't want her to run away from me. And there she is, the girl who crawled into my heart.

"Nazeera", I called out as soon as I saw her. Her eyes widened upon finding me and she immediately turned away, ignoring me. She fastened her steps and headed to the entrance. No, it shouldn't be like this. I paced my step to reach her.

"Nazeera, listen to me", I spoke in a stern voice to stop her. I wanted to hold her but refrained from doing any kind of actions that she dislikes.

"Please leave me Taehyung", she scoffed and took steps to her block.

I called her many times while walking beside her but she gave a deaf ear to me. God knows how many times I controlled my urge to hold her and stop her. I sighed to myself and thought of talking to her during lunch. Well! This is going to be a bone-breaking job.

• • •

"Nazeera", I took a seat beside her and she scooted to the next seat without speaking anything. I stayed in my position not wanting to trouble her. Why can't she be a bit calm?

"Nazeera, I am sorry. I must have not been...", she cut me off.

"Taehyung, if you stay here for one more second, I am going to leave from the canteen. I will not eat my lunch at all", she spat at me and I gasped at her one. I understand, she is dead serious. As I don't want her to skip lunch, I just got up and left the place.

I knew she hated my presence so I will not show myself in front of her often though I will still try to seek forgiveness. I tried talking to her in the academy but she is just so stubborn today. It's funny how I failed miserably in just having a word with her

Just like yesterday, I followed to her house and hid whenever I find her taking a turn. She doesn't even care about my feelings but why am I being affected so much? Aish! This girl! She shouldn't have bumped into me on that day.

I sighed looking at her figure through the binoculars and smiled to myself. She didn't get lost anywhere today. I dropped the binoculars in the bag and started walking to the dorm. It's not that easy to ask a girl out.

• • •

It's been three days and she has remained the same. I was behind her all the time to seek her forgiveness but I am sure she didn't give a damn. Where did she get that stubbornness from? I just confessed my feelings to her. What was wrong with it? Why doesn't she think for once?

I sighed, thinking about it. I miss talking to her. I miss teasing her and exchanging lunch with her. Though we don't hold many memories in such a short period, her silence and ignorance are really bothering me.

I arrived early at the academy for her. It feels like so much happened in just a few days of her arrival. Girl, what are you doing to me?

As I reached the entrance, I looked at her figure. What is she doing here so early? Did she come before time to avoid me?

"Nazeera", I called, but she didn't even turn around and rushed to her block. I bet she heard me.

Ugh! Same story again. When will she even try to listen to me? I glanced at my watch and sighed. There's still time. I will just go to the classroom and take a small nap before my members come.

I woke up with the noise around me and rubbed my eyes to see the class filled with people and whispers. What's the tea today?

"That Jackson is scaring that poor girl"

"She was the one Jin defended from him, right?"

"Perhaps that must be the reason"

What are they talking about? Who is that girl with Jackson? Jin hyung and girl? Shit! It is her. What the hell does he want? Why is he bothering Nazeera now? Is it because of me?

Ugh! That bastard will die today.

I ran as fast as I can to be welcomed by the worst scene in front of me. Why is he making a scene everywhere we are?

"Just leave me, will you?", Nazeera yelled, her eyes glistened and showing helplessness. I could see Jackson smirking on seeing me. Few people surrounded them as if it's some murder case.

"Get your filthy hands off her, hyung", I yelled as I walked towards them.

"Woah! Kim Taehyung to the rescue. I was expecting you sooner, glad you could at least make it on time. ", he spoke in his annoying tone making my blood boil. That jerk is touching her which making me want to fry him in burning oil.

"I won't mind to knock your ass down. How dare you hold her?", I advanced my steps and pulled Nazeera to my side. His grip was not tight. What are his intentions? I shot him a glare, holding her trembling hands, not giving a hang to her wiggles.

"So did Kim Taehyung or the underrated V is in love? Or is it a fling?", he smirked and I lost my control now. I am already frustrated with the things happening around me and he is just adding fuel to the fire.

I clenched my fists and punched straight into his jaw. He fell on the ground, holding his jaw and wiping the blood oozing from the corner of his lips. He stood up with an aggressive force and tried to punch me but instead got hit. It was Jungkook.

"You have involved enough in our lives hyung. Just leave from here before we beat the flesh out of you", he came along with Jimin. I smiled at them. We never hated someone so badly. Even when Jackson tried to cripple the oneness of the group, we didn't hate him that much. But after we got to know he is one of the reasons for Yoongi hyung's misery, anger would be an understatement to describe what we have towards him

"You brats..", that coward was interrupted, surprisingly by Jin hyung.

"Should Jungkook repeat his words twice?", Hyung raised his brows and that coward was out of the scene, muttering something under his breath. His members came to take him away. Soon, people dispersed out of sight and I nodded at my members, gesturing them to leave.

I looked at Nazeera who was quivering in fear. She must have been terrified. I held her shoulders and she raised her head.

"Are you alright?", I looked into her eyes and she stepped back, pulling herself from my hold.

"How many times I told you not to come near me?", she scoffed at me. What the hell! I just wanted to know if she was fine.

"I just saved you Nazeera, you are being rude", I spat at her, angry at her words. All this time, she ignored me, and now when I saved her, she is throwing her usual tantrums. Come on, I am just trying to be normal.

"Who asked you to save me? I can save myself", she snapped at me and it made me furious.

"Save yourself, my foot! Look at you crying then. You let him touch you Nazeera, you didn't yell at him like you did at me. Why?", I raised my voice making her flinch

"Why does it concern you if he touches me?", she stuttered and her words flared my cool.

"I would kill him if he touches you again. I freaking like you Nazeera. And yeah, It concerns me a lot", I groaned in vexation and she gasped in response.

"Just tell me that you don't have even the slightest feeling towards me. Just tell me honestly and I will not show my face again", I blurted without thinking anything. I was just so furious at this point. The air around us became tensed and her silence is making my heart pound rapidly.

"I don't like you Taehyung, not even a bit", she mouthed and I felt a sharp pang in my heart. I gulped down the lump in my throat and clenched my jaw, trying to control the tears threatening to escape my eyes.

"Fine then", I blurted and turned to go but she called my name, making me halt my steps.

"Here is the money you paid for my violin", she handed me the money and I bobbed my head in negation. I placed the money back in her hands.

"I don't want the money. Just think of it as an apology for breaking your violin", I spoke and she just stayed silent.

"And I promise I will not show you my face again"
