In his wandering gaze toward the beautiful, serene figure of a woman, who looks within sadness at the exquisite art in his exhibition "Art of a Bleeding Heart," his senses wer...
You had the sudden courage to place your palm on his chiselled chest, and you could feel his heart beating. It had the same effect on you, and just as you were about to shove him out of your personal space, you both heard a sharp breath intake---

Taehyung's heart raced as he gazed into Cha-Young's eyes. It deflated her as if she had a message to convey but held back.
Their hearts beat in sync, and Taehyung couldn't understand why he suddenly felt a rush when she softly placed her warm hand on his chest. Her beauty was so flawless that it left Taehyung breathless. Her eyes had a sad quality in them that made him want to hold her near him. Even her perfume was so tantalizing. She was rendering him utterly breathless.
Being so close to Cha makes him feel desires he can't understand.
Why was he attracted to a girl who brought so much turmoil into his life for four years? She teased him, made him lose his sanity, and was a constant pain. Cha Young made him feel a protectiveness urged from him. He felt like loving her at that moment, which made him feel strange. He was feeling mentally conflicted. Suddenly, they both heard an audible gasp that interrupted their interlude. When he looked into ChaYoungs widened eyes, he instantly knew who the intruder had found them in this compromising position.
.It was his dear, almost-girlfriend, Dilraba, that made her presence known.
He closed his eyes briefly and muttered softly, "Just great!" slowly letting Cha-Young free from his arms imprisonment. He could feel her exhale a breath of relief when he left her personal space. He suddenly felt a coldness when she moved away from him.
He turned away from the heated moment as Chayoung squeezed her lips tightly, and her expression returned to blank, emotionless.
Dilraba stood in the open space, leaning with narrowed eyes against the colossal marble pillar. She had a smile on her face but dangerous daggers directed at Cha-Young, who just shrugged and moved with a subtle bow in Taehyung and Dilraba's direction.
Taehyung inhaled intensely as he put on a cordial smile, not wanting Dilraba to see his slightly unnerved demeanour. Cha-Young's presence affected his senses, and the more he was in contact with her, the more contradictory his emotions became.
Now profoundly affected, Cha-Young fiddled with her camera around her neck and said calmly, 'Excuse me, Mr. Kim, Ms. Dilraba, I still need to finalize my photo task.' She hurriedly spun around and quickly moved a few steps from the couple to the Egyptian relics on the opposite wall.
Taehyung observed a fleeting emotion in Cha-Young's eyes when Dilraba smugly sneered and strutted over, linking her arms with him. There was an unidentified emotion in her eyes, and she might have wondered what he and the 'hellraiser' were up to. He knows she'll be bound to interrogate him later.
"Oh, Taetae, your PA told me I would find you here with one of your... staff members," she said with a bit of mock on her lips, looking at the beautiful Cha-Young, with narrowed eyes, who had returned to taking numerous snapshots of the pricey relics.
A sudden image flashed through Taehyung's mind: a blurred, laughing girl in a big straw hat, her face obscured by the blazing sunlight, posing candidly for pictures. The girl looked exuberantly joyful. He creased his brows, instantly wondering what he was thinking, and dismissed the image immediately, thinking maybe Cha-Young reminded him of a documentary he had watched.
He turned to Dilraba, who stared at him with renewed affection. Taehyung smiled softly as he unexpectedly embraced her tightly. Dilraba snuggled her head on his chest, and her mocking eyes found Cha-Young's. Cha-Young's eyes darkened a little, but she quickly diverted her gaze back to the items in front of her.
Taehyung looked down at his "ex-almost-again" girlfriend and asked, "What brought you here, Dil?"
He felt a little disturbed in Cha-Young's presence, but he was unaware of her. Fortunately, Dilraba's company helped him banish the strange emotions coursing through his body. Cha-Young's odd, almost distant look made him wonder constantly about her. Did she truly change? She is eerily different, calm, and serene, not the energetic, confident girl he used to know and love to hate.
"So? Did I miss a date or something?" his intense eyes lifted as they met Dirabas. His attention was entirely on her. Her beauty was genuinely mesmerising as she smiled coyly up to him, displaying her pearly white teeth. Taehyung didn't know what it was, but he suddenly found himself enthralled by her gorgeous looks. She had a perfect combo of beauty, brains, and grace. He just couldn't understand how he could have broken up with her. What was he thinking?
Their story began during a two-week Art History tour to Egypt in his second year when he first met Dilraba, a fellow design student, in her freshman year. They clicked instantly, and their relationship blossomed, turning his life into an idyllic blend of sunshine, moonlight, and roses. Everything in his life went downhill when he met Satans' daughter, Cha-Young, his uni nemesis, hell-raiser'
Despite their tumultuous history, no one, not even fortune tellers, could foresee that Taehyung and Cha-young would end up working together. Mentioning them in the same breath was like combining fire and diesel- a lethal mix. They harboured intense animosity for four years, engaging in countless pranks and exchanging hurtful words.
Taehyung couldn't confide in anyone about the source of their hatred, not his parents, friends, or even his devoted girlfriend.
He was the sole culprit, and the darkness between him and Cha-young had its roots in a past he couldn't reveal.
