We entered the class...

"What took you so long Y/N?"

"Sorry Sir... but I couldn't handle so many things all together and I just stumbled on my way, creating a mess. They helped me."

"Okay, no problem, thanks boys. Now go to your respective classes and Y/N take your seat."

"Yes Sir."

.....

Taehyung reached the class.

-----Taehyung's Pov-----

*..in mind *- now I know her name Y/N...mmm... beautiful name just like her. OMG!!...why I'm thinking so creep.

Taking my seat near the window and looking outside. The weather which was dull earlier, now it was pleasant, suddenly my eyes fell on that same girl...woohaa I was sitting here for so many days but never noticed her, she was right before my ey...

"TAEHYUNG!!!... SHOULD I BRING YOU A CUP OF COFFEE, HUH!!! what is outside the window, huh??? Pay attention here."

"Sorry Sir."

.....

....Time skip to lunch break...

Taehyung , Jimin and two other boys were having lunch together. While the boys were chit chatting, Taehyung was in his own dream land.

-----Taehyung's pov-----

I saw y/n and a girl, I guess a friend of her, entering the canteen area while talking and giggling. They took a seat with their food at the corner of the place beside the window.

I couldn't help but smile and stare at her. Is she the same girl whom I accidentally hit on that rainy day, since I saw her sick the very next day in the library, with that book which looked like it had been dried, when she ran from there with all redness visible on her face.
She's a newcomer I guess ...

All these times, she was around me but my eyes never fell on her, but now wherever I go, my eyes make their way to her. This is all because of that day, The Light Bulb!!, as if it glorified her beauty and charms.

I mean like she is not that beautiful compared to Nana or her friend but watching her at the dark store room under the flickering light.
I don't know what happened to my heart but I felt drowned into her ocean of eyes as if it captivated me completely.

I must say This is all the fault of that light bulb... a pleasant fault but!

As I was doing so my vision got interrupted.

What the hell!!? , silently cursing in my mind

-----End of Taehyung's pov-----

-----Pov y/n-----

Emily and I were having lunch while chatting about our life, when I felt like I was being stared. Some eyes were continuously watching me. I moved my head around but I met with no one's gaze, everyone was busy with their own business. I think it's just random, then I heard...

-----End of Y/n pov-----

-----Taehyung's Pov-----

Looking at the person , it was none other than Nana.
I don't know but I kinda felt irritated by sudden interruption.

"Hello Guyssss", she said all acting lovey dovey.

"Tomorrow is my birthday party and I want you all to come to the evening, especially you, Oppa.", she said while pouring all enthusiasm and handing an invitation card to me followed by giving a flying kiss and then she turned towards the crowd.

"Attention Everyone! Tomorrow is my birthday party, kindly make it enjoyable by your gracious presence. Thank you, here is your invitation card.", she said squealing with happiness.

Soon the girl standing beside her distributed the cards.

-----End of Taehyung's Pov-----

-----Author's pov-----

Taehyung was rolling the invitation card on his finger tip, while being in deep thoughts.

On the other hand,

you asked the person sitting in front of you with a questioning look.

"Hey Emily you didn't get it ??"

"Huh... no need, we are anyways invited."
Still looking at your question mark face she further said...

"Umm.. Her... father and mine.. are...umm.. coll..ege friends so my family was invited for the party yesterday only."

You felt like something was off! but shrugging of your feelings you said

"Ohh that's nice ..."

While you were running fingers on the invitation card muttering
"What a rich life!"
Though it was spoken in a whisper.
Emily giggled and said "I know..." as if she heard you.

While having lunch with preoccupied thoughts,
Emily interrupted the silence.

"Y/n... you okay? You seem tense."

"Huh??... Annio I am not umm... I'm just nervous like I haven't been to such a big party, like you know na, small friends party that I'm used to, and this birthday seems extravagant by just looking at this card.", you said, while sighing to yourself.

"Ohh my dear buddy... It will be fun. Life is all about experiencing different things whether it's inside or outside your comfort zone, and you'll do fine. Why worry when Emily is with you."

"Yeah I am happy too!"

...

...An hour before the party...

Mom was at work, I wished mom was here now, she would have helped me a lot.
Wearing the dainty necklace as a final touch up and then finally looking at my reflection.

This dress was given by my mother on my 18th birthday, though it looks simple and guileless but I hope it will work for today's evening.

As soon as I heard the honking of the car outside, I marched outside my house with a gift in my hand.
Locking the door and hiding the keys under the pot I walked towards her.

...

There she stood, wearing a velvety black off shoulder mini dress with a diamond necklace, her hair was perfectly straightened with smoky eyeshadow and light makeup... Damn she looks Gorgeous.

Exchanging greetings and smiles with each other we climbed inside the car.
While the ride was steady, we took selfies and videos, talked and laughed...
For a time being, I felt like all my anxiousness withered away.

After half an hour, the car halted.

"We reached the venue!!" Emily exclaimed with joy.

As I got out of the car and stood, while looking at the lighting in front of me. I was awestruck.
Greetings were offered along the gravel path with dainty fairy lights enhancing its beauty.

As we marched towards the hall, a sweet melody was drifting through the busy atmosphere and it seemed it came from inside the hall.

Entering the room my mouth fell open ..."Wohaa!!" this place is marvelous. It was a little dark with blue purple and white spotlights and hanging fairy lights falling from the roof looking as if there was snow light.
There was a big centre stage above which stood a hanging chandelier the stage was surrounded by white dining tables with white chairs and white balloons like lights above each table.
A bar at the side of the room.
A collection of violinists, pianists and harp players were placed at the far end of the hall.
It looks as if I entered paradise...

I could see girls and boys in their most extravagant outfits, scattered around the room with their groups giggling, drinking and chatting.

Most of the girls were wearing black, navy blue ,white or brown dresses that were so revealing, perfectly hugging their bodies and showing their curves. Some of them had deep necklines while some were way too mini and stylish. I presume this is what we call party wear, with their matching jewelleries that shimmered under the spotlights and makeup to amplify their beauty.
On the other side were the boys who were in their charismatic suits.

Damn they all look hella beautiful and hot!

I don't even stand in the line compared to them. I shouldn't have said yes to the party ...sighing I felt Emily wrapping her fingers with mine,

"You look different and beautiful. I think you would be the center of attraction with this netted red gown.", she said as if she read my mind.

I couldn't help but smile at her compliment. She does have the skill to read minds and speak, to ease it.

Dunno, but I must have done something great in my past life to get a friend like her who reads my face like a physiognomy and washes away my worries.

We took a seat at one of the dining table..

"Where are your parents Emily??"

"Ohh parents, they are in the next hall beside this, having their own reunion. They'll just accompany the cake cutting ceremony I guess."

Surprised by her reply I nodded understanding that this might be the way rich people have their parties, adults and youngsters having their differences.

While we were talking, a waiter approached us and said that Emily's parents called her and then she excused herself and went outside the hall following the waiter.

Sitting for a while and scanning the room. I regret it now more, specifically, I actually hate that I lack in communication skills.

...

-----Taehyung s pov-----

I was having a drink when my wandering eyes fell on the side profile of a girl who was sitting on the chair on the other end of the stage. Instantly, I recognised her. She was sitting straight like an obedient child.

She was wearing a red colour net gown, with net sleeves, the dress had some glitter touch at the waist area. What a coincidence, the colour was just like mine... That's my girl 😏. We will be a good match tonight. How pleasant it would be to dance with her.

The dress was simple and beautiful in its own way. Unlike others just showing their skin and nothing good much.

Her hair was tied in a bun with flicks hanging on the side of her face and light makeup on her face. And a small dainty necklace with a perfect dim spotlight sprinkling its light on her ...She looks Alluring...

There are thousands of girls here in this room who are way more sexy and beautiful, but my eyes just glued on her as if captured by her eyes. She has some aura radiating from her which attracts me to look into her and never get bored. Unlike other beautiful girls, she looks adorable with her divine eyes twinkling under the dim lights and infectious smile...

By looking at her, I guess she hasn't been to such parties.

After a while she started humming a song, by her gesture, I assume...

----End of Taehyung's pov----

-----Y/N's pov-----

I was observing people when I heard someone playing piano music. I felt myself smiling remembering the music I heard today at the university.

✨FLASHBACK ✨

It was a free period, students were scattered and were engaged in their own business, some were in the library while some were at the ground and I don't know where.

I heard there was a music room on the 3rd floor. Since childhood I always wanted to learn piano so I guess this is an opportunity to look if I am capable of it or not.
I was roaming around on the 3rd floor to find the room.

Searching.....

(A/N)Play the audio now !!to feel it ❤️

My steps halted when I heard someone playing the piano and singing, slowly walking toward the melody to which my foot made its way, I found the room.

Such a wonderful velvety voice. I slightly peeked through the door to know the owner of the voice, but to my demise I could only get the back profile of the person. I stood there for a couple of minutes to listen to the melody.

He has such a divine and velvety voice. Voice which has the capability to soothe a soul. I felt pleasant by listening to his euphonious sound.
I don't know when but I kept staring at his back profile.

A couple of seconds later I jolted backwards to hide myself as he looked towards the door. My heart was pounding so loud that I guess he could hear it and I don't know why but I ran from there as if in fear of getting caught doing an illegal thing which was nothing but just - staring at a guy.

✨End of flashback✨

Giggling to myself I started humming the same song. Though I am not aware of the lyrics but the tune was like my mind recorded it.
And I played it now.

---Author's pov----

You were enjoying his voice in your mind while unknown to you that some keen eyes were watching your each and every movement.

----Taehyung's Pov----

She was smiling and humming a song, when that same girl from the canteen reached to her with a drink, which she completely denied.

I see not an alcoholic person!

Impressive...

Damn she's totally different from other types of girls. She'll be fun to flirt with...
Sipping my drink I was ready to go to her, when I was engulfed in a warm hug.

"Hey buddy whatsupp..."

-----Y/N pov-----

I took a sip of juice when I heard eagerly clapping. Looking at the entrance.

There the birthday girl entered wearing a glittering violet colour mini sleeveless dress perfectly fitting to her body, with diamond work on the neckline and waist area.

A platinum necklace and earrings, glamorous makeup with hair open up and a small diamond tiara on her head. She totally looked like a charming and elegant lady, for whom every guy would drool over her.

Before walking towards the stage she headed towards a boy, and
She hugged him, looking closely,
I noticed that, he was Taehyung!

They exchanged smiles while he wished her.
Are they a couple...?

Then she walked towards the stage while the elders entered the room.
Her parents wished her, gave a heartwarming message to her and then the cake cutting ceremony took place.

Happy Birthday song played at the background we wished her, the room echoed with clappings.

Nana, cut the cake, taking a piece she fed it to her father then mother.
And then she turned towards Taehyung to feed him.

Dunno but that was the first time in the evening that our eyes met. He ate the piece of cake while looking at me instead of Nana.
I must say he does have penetrating eyes...
Simultaneously someone was also thinking the same thing...

-----Taehyung's Pov-----

Nana turned towards me and held the piece of cake in front of my mouth to eat. I looked across and there her eyes were on me and finally we made eye contact. I ate the cake while still looking at her.
I must say she has soulful eyes...
which are capable of captivating anyone, especially me, I presume.

After a while all of them carried their gifts and handed them to her followed by well wishes.

Later her father announced to enjoy the party and then the elders made their way to their respective hall.

A couple of seconds after the elders departure, Nana announced a partner dance.

Cheerfulness filled the hall, brightening the vibe of the evening.
Girls and boys make their way towards the stage with their partners.

*In Taehyung's mind* I wish I could dance with y/n... Just visualising her hands on my shoulder and mine on her waist, makes my heart flutter. What would it really feel in real... Gosh!!!

Jimin and I were engaged in our conversation when Nana and one of her friends came to approach us.

They began to insist, at first we both declined but after a lot of insisting Jimin gave in while Nana held my arm and as if dragging me towards the stage.

"God why??? I guess you heard it wrong I want to dance with Y/N not Nana.😩"

Soon the music started filling up the hall and we danced.

I see Jimin is enjoying his company and was all in his own world.

Nana took one of my hands and wrapped her fingers, while guiding my other hand to her waist.

I don't know but this is the first time ever that I was feeling irritated by her. But I held my irritation aside and we both danced with the music and lights.

My eyes didn't rest on her rather it was busy searching those eyes.
Slowly scanning the room, I saw her sitting on the couch at the end of the hall, looking all drifted.
"Doesn't she have a part...", when a boy approached her I guess to ask her for dance. A few seconds later the boy went to another, guess what she denied...
Smiling to myself...
"I see... not comfortable with dancing..."

Suddenly I felt a peck of soft lips on mine. My eyes bulged out, why the hell she kissed me. It's not like we are a couple to do those things, just a random few flirting with her.

I just looked at her shock while she caressed my cheeks, looking quickly at Y/N I saw her eyes right looking at us voidly which I just didn't want her to watch, like I don't know why but I just didn't wanted her to watch me kissed by anyone.

God I just want to become invisible...

The music ended and Nana suddenly hugged me. My mind was not at the right moment rather my eyes lingered on Y/N.

She was still sitting there, while keeping her phone to her ear. I guess she's on call. A change of expression ran through her face and then she ran towards the exit while all looking worried.

I wanted to escape from the embrace of Nana but she didn't let me.

Arghh!!! I don't know but this is it, I need to leave. Trying to go she held me back why the hell she doesn't leave me alone.

Why Y/N ran away after the call out of nowhere????
