Next day.

Yn, Ema, Yeonjun, Zoe, and Soha were chilling on their terrace, playing games, and enjoying music with guitars. While they were having fun, Yn's phone rang.

Yn: "Seems like the delivery boy has arrived?"

She answered the call and walked downstairs, with Zoe following her. They both went outside the mansion to receive the food, but as they were about to head back in, they heard someone.

Taehyung: "Hey, Zoe!"

Zoe and Yn turned to look at him. Zoe smiled slightly, and Taehyung waved his hand with a small smile, which surprised Yn. She stood off to the side. Taehyung stared at her for a moment before turning his attention back to Zoe.

Taehyung: "How are you doing, champ?"

He asked, but Zoe didn't respond; he just nodded with a slight smile. Taehyung found his behavior a bit odd but shrugged it off. Yn noticed the change in Zoe's demeanor and was aware of the situation. Taehyung began to walk back towards Seojoon's house, and Zoe returned to Yn.

Yn: "Why didn't you talk to him properly, Zoe?"

Zoe: "It's not like that, Noona."

Yn: "Stop being childish, Zoe. Just because you learned something about him yesterday doesn't mean you should avoid him. That's why I didn't tell you. Don't let this come between your friendship. It's not his fault. Should we force him to like you back? No, right?"

Zoe nodded, understanding what Yn was saying.

Yn: "He's being nice to you, Zoe, so just go for it."

Zoe: "But still, Noona, I-"

Yn: "I explained it to you. Now it's your choice."

With that, Yn went back inside the mansion while Zoe looked at Taehyung, who was scrolling through his phone, leaning against his bike. After thinking for a moment, he approached him.

Zoe: "Hyung, come inside our house."

Taehyung looked around for Yn and then said,

Taehyung: "No, buddy, maybe next time. By the way, is everything okay?"

Zoe: *nodded* "Yes, Hyung. Just a bit stressed about exams."

Taehyung: "That's okay, no problem."

Zoe nodded, and they talked for a little while. Yn, who was watching the scene from the balcony, chuckled slightly and walked away.

Zoe thought: "I understand everything now-what's going on between you two. Thanks to Ema Noona for telling me. This is interesting... I hope you two get along soon. I can see the desperation in his eyes for Noona."

Zoe smiled to himself.

**The Next Day**

At college, Taehyung parked his bike and hurried inside, already late for practice. As he rushed toward the field, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and angrily switched it off. It was Mr. Han's daughter calling again, along with several messages.

Taehyung: "Just... just because of Appa, I didn't do anything with this girl!"

He mumbled, throwing his bag down as he approached his friends.

Jimin: "Where were you, Tae? Look at the time!"

Taehyung: "I know, I know... I went to bed at 4."

Wooshik: "What were you doing all night? We didn't even get to play!"

Taehyung: "Nothing, I just went outside."

Jungkook: "Okay, let's get started. We're already late."

His tone was a little cold, which made Taehyung frown. He looked at Jimin and asked,

Taehyung: "Hey, Jimin, what's wrong with him?"

Jimin: "Nothing, he fought with Veina, and now his mood is ruined."

Taehyung: "Is it serious?"

Jimin: "Almost. Let's go now; he's been mad all morning."

Taehyung nodded, and then Wooshik said,

Wooshik: "Tae, your Appa is calling me?"

Taehyung nodded and answered the call.

**On the Phone**

Mr. Kim: "Tae, why is your phone switched off?"

Taehyung: "Um, Appa, Mr. Han's daughter keeps calling me, and it's seriously disturbing."

Mr. Kim: "Tae, just pick up the call once and talk to her. She wants to meet you."

Taehyung clenched his jaw and closed his eyes in frustration.

Taehyung: "Appa, I already told you I'm not interested in meeting her."

Mr. Kim: "Tae, at least talk to her and explain your rejection. Ignoring her calls is disrespectful."

Taehyung: "Appa, but I already-"

Mr. Kim: "I hope you understand what I'm saying. Mr. Han is not an outsider, and you should treat him with respect. You need to behave maturely and talk to her."

Taehyung angrily ended the call and threw his phone down, breathing heavily.

Taehyung: "Mr. Han is not an outsider, so should I just accept his daughter? Screw them! And Appa? Seriously..."

He rubbed his temples in annoyance. Jimin and Wooshik listened, trying to calm him down, as he was clearly very upset.

Wooshik: Tae, calm down! Talk to your uncle.

Jimin: Yes, Tae. Don't get angry. Just explain things to him.

Taehyung: I'm tired of explanations! How many times do I have to explain myself? I can't take it anymore; the family is getting on my nerves.

He yelled angrily. Jimin and Wooshik tried to calm him down, knowing how quickly his anger could escalate into rudeness, making him speak without thinking. He massaged his temple before saying,

Taehyung: Let's go, guys.

They began practicing, and soon the other boys joined in. Taehyung was playing aggressively, channeling all his anger into the ball. His friends noticed but shrugged it off.

Taehyung set the ball in front of him to practice free kicks. Suddenly, Jungkook kicked the ball away. Taehyung gritted his teeth, glaring at him.

Taehyung: What the heck, Jungkook!

He yelled, but Jungkook shot him a glare in return.

Taehyung: What? Are you blind? I'm practicing-

Jungkook: So what? I'm doing the same thing. *Coldly*

Taehyung: Did it land in the goal? No, right?

Jungkook: Why are you getting unnecessarily angry? It's just practice.

Taehyung: You're actually making me angry!!!

Jimin and Wooshik intervened as the two began to argue, both clearly agitated.

Jungkook: You're just overreacting, Tae. I noticed you yelled at me the other day, too. And you didn't score anything.

Taehyung's anger skyrocketed. He stepped closer.

Taehyung: Just shut the fuck up! Because of your carelessness, we almost lost that day. Do I need to remind you?

Jungkook: You don't have to bring that up! I know how I play. You better-

Jimin: Guys, stop it!

Taehyung: Don't trigger me with your so-called attitude, Jungkook!

Wooshik: Enough, Taehyung!!

Jungkook: And what about your attitude? Everyone is literally fed up with it.

Jungkook didn't realize the weight of his words; his anger led to careless blabbering.

Jimin: You both need to shut up! Let's just leave.

He tried to separate them, but Taehyung angrily grabbed Jungkook's collar while glaring at him.

Taehyung: Mind your words, Jeon Jungkook. Otherwise, I'll forget who you are!

Jungkook: Is that all you know? Not everyone listens to you, Mr. Kim Taehyung. What do you think of yourself? This is your reality. This is how you talk to your own people and outsiders. You don't even know the difference.

Taehyung listened, still holding Jungkook's collar.

Jungkook: This is how you hurt innocent people with your stupid anger and rudeness, yet you act like you're so cool. You don't even know how to respect your parents!!

Wooshik and Jimin shouted: JUNGKOOK!!!

Taehyung: HOW DARE YOU!!

In a fit of rage, Taehyung punched Jungkook in the face, causing both to widen their eyes. Jimin and Wooshik tried to intervene, but Jungkook retaliated and punched Taehyung back. The fight escalated, and neither was fully aware of their actions. Jungkook was disturbed about his girlfriend, while Taehyung was venting his anger about his father.

Wooshik: STOP!!

He finally pushed them apart, and both were out of breath. Taehyung's hand and lips were bleeding, and Jungkook's lips were also injured. They glared at each other.

Jimin: This isn't even a reason to fight... Let's go.

He dragged Taehyung away, while Wooshik pulled Jungkook back. However, Taehyung stopped Jimin.

Taehyung: Leave me alone for a while.

Jimin: No, you're bleeding.

Taehyung: Jimin!

Jimin nodded and walked away. Taehyung leaned against a tree, feeling Jungkook's words weighing heavily on him. His eyes were red, and he was panting. He closed his eyes and recalled the words of both his father and Jungkook. Angrily, he punched the tree, causing his hand to bleed. He was breathing heavily and bowed his head in frustration when suddenly someone grabbed his wrist.

Taehyung: Leave me, Jimin.

He kept his eyes closed.

Taehyung: Get lost! I just need some time alone.

But the person didn't let go of his wrist, which made him angrier.

Taehyung: I'm telling you for the last time!

Frustrated, he shouted: CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND FOR ONCE!!

He turned around, stopping short when he realized it was YN standing there, looking at him with concern.

Yn: taehyung-shi... *She stuttered*

He stopped at his place and looked at her. She was staring at his bleeding wrist, her expression filled with concern. Her worried eyes met his red eyes. She could see how angry he was, but she didn't know the reason why.

"Your hand... it's bleeding," she said softly.

Taehyung didn't say anything; he simply watched her movements. She was clearly scared, but now her fear had turned to worry for him. His heart fluttered at the feeling of her touching his hand, and he noticed the concern etched on her face.

"H-hospital?" she stammered, realizing how serious it was.

"I'm fine," Taehyung replied coldly.

She grasped his wrist and gently pulled him along. "Please don't get angry at me for this," she murmured, and he followed her silently, like a lost puppy. He couldn't help but stare at her hand as she held his. Surprisingly, he didn't feel any anger toward her.

She stopped beside the hospital section, made him sit down, and said, "I'll be back."

As she went inside, Taehyung simply watched her, feeling his anger dissipate in her presence. A few minutes later, she returned with a first aid kit and knelt down in front of him.

She poured water from her bottle to wash his hand, wiped away the blood with a tissue, and applied ointment. He stared at her in silence, hardly blinking. He could see the worry in her eyes; she was scared but still cared for him. After wrapping the bandage around his wrist, she looked up at him, her gaze meeting his deeply. He noticed that her eyes were wide with innocence and concern, making him gulp.

She noticed his lips were also bleeding but hesitated to say anything.

"Here," he said, pointing to his lips. She nodded slowly, her hands trembling slightly. He noticed her unease and gently held her hand, their eyes locking. There was so much unspoken between them; they could read each other's feelings perfectly. She was lost in his deep, ocean-like eyes, while he found himself captivated by her innocent, lovely gaze.

She stepped back after applying the ointment, but he noticed she was avoiding his eyes. As she got to her feet, he stood up as well. When she turned to leave, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and hugged her tightly. She froze in place, unsure of how to respond. He pulled her even closer and whispered, "Shh... stay like this for a while, please."

His warm breath sent butterflies fluttering in her stomach as her heart raced, which he could feel against him. Although she didn't hug him back immediately, he reveled in her presence, inhaling her sweet fragrance. In that moment, he forgot about the anger that had consumed him just moments before. Her presence seemed to calm him down completely.

After nearly twenty minutes of holding her close, he finally pulled back and looked at her. She appeared dazed, still processing what had just happened. He faked a cough to catch her attention. When she looked at him, she bit her lower lip, and her cheeks turned a deep red, which made him chuckle softly.

"What's wrong?" he asked, noticing she was still staring intently at him.

"You're okay, right, Taehyung-shi?"

Hearing his name from her lips made him smile. He nodded slightly.

"I'm sorry, but hurting yourself in anger isn't right," she said gently, her words striking a chord within him. He listened intently.

"I don't know what's wrong, Taehyung-shi, but please don't get angry and hurt yourself. Everything will be alright," she assured him calmly.

Her caring words surprised him. Unlike other girls, she radiated a unique sense of peace and calm. He realized that being with her brought him a different level of tranquility that he had never experienced before, and he began to understand more about their bond and the feelings they shared.

He was standing like an obedient child in front of her, almost as if he would accept whatever she said in the future. Both were staring at each other, filled with unspoken feelings. Taehyung reached out and gently tucked her hair behind her ear. She looked down, feeling her heartbeat quicken. He could sense her rapid heartbeats, as he was standing so close.

"Calm down. I'm not going to do anything," he said, his voice deep yet calm. A shiver ran down her spine at the sound of his voice, overwhelming her already fluttering heart. Slowly, she backed away, tucking her hair behind her ear again. He gulped as she nervously bit her lower lip, flaunting her mole without realizing it-a sight that was difficult for him to resist.

She took a lunch box from her bag and handed it to him.

"Have this, Sunbae," she said softly.

He looked at her in surprise as he accepted the box in one smooth motion. Just as she was about to turn away, he caught her wrist.

"My hand is bandaged. Come here, I'm hungry," he said, making her sit down beside him. She looked at him with wide eyes.

*Does he even know what he's doing? Why is he acting like this?* she thought, until he waved his hand, bringing her back to reality. She opened the box, revealing "gimbap." He raised his eyebrows and smiled. She offered the box to him with chopsticks, but he looked at her in disbelief.

"At least you can feed me, I guess?" he said somewhat coldly.

Yn hesitated, glancing at him for confirmation.

"S-sure?" she stuttered.

"It's okay. I'll eat by myself," he replied, starting to eat with his left hand while looking away. Suddenly, he paused and looked at her with wide eyes. She was staring down, nervously playing with her fingers.

*Is he mad at me? Aishh...* She bit her lip, noticing that he was enjoying the food and looked surprisingly delighted.

*What's wrong with him?*

"Stop talking with your mind," he said suddenly, causing her to flinch as he chuckled heartily. Suddenly he took the chopsticks near her mouth and signalled her to eat. She looked at him with confusion, he feeds her and she laughed little and ate.

Taehyung: i know you're not like this then why you always nervous around me? Am I scary?

He asked while munching his food. Yn shook her head as no and looked down.

To be continued..
