Kim Taehyung is back

I have no clue why he thought it was a good idea to ask me for a coffee as I was clearly an awkward girl because after Charlotte left us alone to give us some privacy we were simply sitting beside each other at one of the many lawns of the university in complete silence gazing at the people walking past us.

"We haven't yet introduced ourselves properly?" his soft voice sliced through the thick silence garnering my attention.

"My name is Jungkook but you can call me Jk" he beamed while his bunny teeth stood out prominently.

"I am Tiara, Tia in short" I mentioned and he whispered my name as if he wanted to see how it would feel on his lips.

"Its a very beautiful name, Unique" he complimented and I muttered a small thank you.

I had never realized how fiddly I had become when talking with new people. Once I used to be the spokesperson for student bodies, confident, bold and forward at everything and now I had turned into an awkward mess.

Unlike me, the guy appeared comfortable around me. He was trying his best to keep our conversation going and tried to poke my field of interest making me wonder why was he showing a sudden interest in me.

We talked about our subjects, the courses we were taking and our schedule when we discovered we had lots of classes in common. Similar to me, he wanted to be a game developer as well and luckily he was doing an internship in a reputed gaming company.

I was trying my best to be as responsive as possible when I noticed someone in completely black attire, his face covered in a white mask with a single drop of tear trailing down its left eye, watching us from distant.

At first, I assumed he was just a random student doing weird stuff or pranking people however soon I noticed it was not the case.

It seemed as though only I could see him as all the other people didn't even bother noticing him. The way he was staring at us made all my hair follicles rise up and unconsciously I grasped Jungkook's hand in a strong grip.

"Whoa, umm haha" he sounded nervous at my sudden action while my eyes remained fixated on the mysterious figure.

The black form raised his hand and waved at me with a head tilt and cold sweat broke all over my body. On the other hand, he was holding a blue Smeraldo which he brought closer to his mask as though he was placing a kiss on it.

My breath got stuck and my lungs constricted due to lack of oxygen. At once my mind was thrown into a fuzzy state and my vision was dancing.

This couldn't be happening to me again. I couldn't believe this was repeating all over again.

Just then a person went by us and the black form was gone within a split second of my obstructed view.

'Tia are you all fine" Jungkook noticed how my face had lost all of its colors and my whole body had stiffened growing cold.

Even though the form vanished in mid-air, the dread his presence gave rise to within me remained and then I realized my nightmare was not over.

He was back, Kim Taehyung was back.

I was laying down with my eyes close and my breath seemingly steady than before as I concentrated in my Doctor's delicate voice instructing me to relax my mind and to remember the event that had occurred yesterday.

"What next did you see?" my doctor, Seokjin asked in a low voice.

My body trembled and my heart began to thump louder as I recalled the black figure hunting my very existence.

"He..." I gulped remembering the dreading experience "Waved his hand, he had a flower in his other hand" I completed.

"I guess he vanished after that" Mr. Kim affirmed and I nodded my head.

"Take a deep breath In and try to remember if there was anything unusual about that man? anything that was out of ordinary about this entire situation" he inquired.

I knew what was out of ordinary about that man. The Smeraldo he was holding didn't exist in reality but that flower held a deep meaning in my life.

It was a symbol of my past, my struggle, and my greatest loss.

"Smeraldo" I forced out and the tears flowed down my cheeks non-stop.

Seokjin was well aware of what that flower meant to me. I had recited my entire past to him numerous times without missing a detail therefore he quickly discerned this was too much for me to handle so he asked me to relax letting the whole thing slid out of my mind.

Following that he diverted my mind to other topics then when I loosened up a bit he expressed his opinion regarding the whole incident.

"Our mind is a very powerful thing Tiara and sometimes it likes to play a trick with us. whatever you are experiencing is your anxiety, your deepest fear having to face everything new in your life. Fear of new place, fear of new people and other factors are making you paranoid" he explained.

I wasn't an impractical person and in fact knew everything happening to me had a logical explanation so I positively took all of his explanation and suggestions.

After the therapy was over all I could think was about Jungkoook and what he must have thought about me when I suddenly had a panic attack and dash out of there without even sparing a glance at him.

The doctors gave me new medicine and from his office, Jimin took me straight to the university. Jimin was clearly concerned about my state but I assured him I would be fine and headed to my class.

When I entered the class I was welcome with the sight I hadn't anticipated to witness.

Jeon Jungkook was beaming and waving at me. At first, I seriously considered it was for someone behind me but then he shouted my name and signaled me to sit beside him clearing my doubt.

While all the eyes in the room were fixated in me, I lowered my head and headed toward's Jungkook direction.

"Are they dating?"

I heard the whisperers going around as I made my way next to Jungkook.

"Of course they are even wearing a couple-clothes" when they mentioned it, I noticed both of us were wearing the same hood from yesterday.

"I am sorry-" "Are you fine-"

we both began simultaneously and he grinned shaking his head.

"You go first" He allowed me to talk first.

"I am sorry I left all of a sudden" I apologized and he hurriedly said it was okay as he figured out something was wrong with me. He didn't ask me in detail and I was sincerely thankful for that and when I said to him I was feeling better he looked relieved.

"If anything like that happens again please tell me what can I do for you?" His word made me smile. He looked genuinely worried for me and I appreciated that.

We spent the entire class passing notes to each other. He made me feel so comfortable as if we had been friends for years. He was the second person who made me feel this way after Jimin.

Soon enough I began to admire the way he laughed with the side of his eye crinkled.

His small head tilts.

Little by little I could recognize why he was so popular among everyone.

In the middle of admiring the gorgeous being beisde me, I got distractedby a text from Charlotte saying all the girls were going crazy concluding that I was the girl Jungkook was hiding all along because no one had ever seen him being so friendly and sweet with any girl which quickly sparked my curiosity.

Don't mind but why are you being friendly with me

I wrote in the note and passed it to him.

His eyebrows furrowed as he vigorously penned down his reply and passed the note back to me.

I am friendly to everyone, I just don't respond to flirtatious attempts and since you haven't tried anything funny I feel comfortable with you.

I let out a soft giggle at his response and wrote back.

Didn't mean to offend you but after hearing so much about your hostility to female species I got curious.

I nudged him with my elbow and whispered sorry moving the notes to his side.

Reading my answer he let out a boyish giggle and jotted down his reply with a slight pout than passed it back to me.

No no, it's okay but to be honest I think I wouldn't mind if you would try and flirt with me.

I nearly gasped when I read what he had written back and spun my head to him, who was blushing fervently.

When I attempted to write back to him my hand quivered. The words jumbled up on my mind and all I could do was stare at the note trying to recall how words were formed and written down.

A warm hand took hold of my shaking hand and held it until it stopped trembling. I turned to Jungkook who had concern written all over his face as he held my hand and caressed it.

For the first time in three years, I felt someone else's touch bearable. My heartbeat seemed to trust the guy before me. It was unexplainable but I felt like we had a connection with each other and when his doe eyes met mine the throbbing of my heart made my belief more prominent.

Jimin's grip on me was harder than usual as he thrusted in and out of me. The indecipherable emotions were swirling in his eyes as he stared into mine and I could no longer discern what was going on his mind.

My body jerked with every prod of his hip while my back arched feeling pleasure resonated all over my body.

Jimin slipped his hand under my waist and lifted it slightly up to hit me in a new angle and that turned me into a moaning mess. Burying my face in his chest I whimpered in tears as we both reached our high almost simultaneously.

Trying to catch my breathing I rose my head up to read his face which looked lost. His eyebrows were nearly crashing together and he was nibbling his lips as if he was preventing himself from saying things that might affect me.

"What is it?" I placed my palm on his cheeks and coaxed him to speak.

"Its nothing" Jimin avoided my eyes and rolled on to his back removing the condom and tossing it into the dustbin beside our bed.

"We promised to share everything" I reminded him with the solution we had come up with to maintain whatever was going between us.

Jimin seemed to be contemplating but after a while, he gave in and expressed his concern.

"I saw you with a guy today, You looked..." he paused trying to find an appropriate word to describe you.

"Comfortable" he explained shifting on his side to get a better view of my face.

"After very long I saw you getting that close to anyone" I listened to him and quickly picked up his concern. He was afraid to lose me to another guy.

My heart ached to know how insecure he was when it came to our relationship and yet I could not do anything about that. I moved closer to his body and enclosed him in my arms trying to relax him a bit.

"He is just someone I know from my department," I ensured him feeling a pinch of guilt.

"Don't get me wrong Tia, I am happy that you are opening up with someone other than me."He cupped my face as he continued "it's just that sometimes I feel scared, you are my..." he couldn't complete his sentences as he noticed I was already shuddering.

The word girlfriend, lover, or any kind of tag scared me to death. Relationships, feelings were my deadliest fear. It remained me of my naive self who once believed in soulmate and ended up being trapped with a monster.

"Let it be, Just know that I am happy that you are finally making friends" he reconstructed his words carefully and then placed a kiss on my forehead then began to fondle with my hair to make me fall asleep but the damage was already done.

The memories of my past had returned back to torment me until my body would finally give up due to the unbearable agony flooding my senses.

The fear, the suffocation, and all the dreading feeling resurfaced once again.

I shut closed my eyes trying to think about anything else but him but nothing seems to divert my mind and the event that had happened just a few days ago flashed in front of my eyes.

The black figure with the mask and the Smeraldo he was holding.

The flowers I got from him.

Something that I had believed to be magical and beautiful but soon got painted with the blood of my loved ones.

The flower that was actually a comet that prophecied my doom.

"Are you calling me a sinner?"
