Sneak Peek: Serenity

Annyeong my lovely readers! To anyone who is curious, I'm currently working on my new book. This time I decided to write out a few chapters instead of just posting them one by one. 

This book is a Kim Taehyung x reader where you are a girl named Park Seo Hyeon. I won't get into to much detail because I don't want to spoil it for you. But I wanted to give you guys a short sneak peek of the first chapter. Hope you like it!

(Seo Hyeon's POV)

*Beep beep beep BEEP*

I spring from my bed, immediately flinching at the sound of my alarm clock screaming at me. I ruffle my hair and reach over to press the snooze button. I checked the time seeing it was 5:30 AM. Honestly, I wanted to go back to sleep. But I'm already awake, and I always have trouble falling back asleep. Besides I have class in a few hours. Crap...

"meong meong!"

A sleepy smile stretches on my lips when I look down from the bed to see my cute little fluff ball. I sit on the edge of my bed and scoop the precious thing in my arms.

"Morning Eui-yah," I say softly, nuzzling my nose in her white and gray hair. In response, she gently licks across my knuckles. I cuddle her in my arms for a few minutes, before officially getting out of bed to start my day.

I grab the outfit I picked out yesterday and make my way into my bathroom. Quickly but thoroughly, I brushed my teeth then changed out of my pajamas to my semi-casual clothes.

Since I didn't think I needed to focus too much on my hair, I pulled it into a simple ponytail so it wouldn't get in my face all day. I frown at my appearance in the mirror. My hair is so boring. It's just the typical Asian straight dark brown hair. I wish it could be all silky smooth and wavy like those models on American billboards. They look so pretty with their blonde highlights.

Once I finished my wake up routine, I exit the bathroom and back into my bedroom. I grab my plain black bag and rummage through it to confirm I had everything I needed. Journals, binder, pencil case, phone, phone charger, medicine...no medicine?.

Wait my medicine wasn't in here. I quickly go back to the bathroom to see that the white medicine bottle was sitting quietly on the counter. I remove it from its place and move it into my bag.

Now why do I need medicine, you may ask? These tiny white pills have the ability to suppress my anxiety. And why do I have anxiety? That's because I have a panic disorder. Basically, it's when you have panic attacks frequently. You have no idea when they may come and overwhelm your mind. I was diagnosed with it when I was six and haven't gotten much better since. But it's okay, I've almost become accustomed to the random attacks.

After double-checking everything, I quickly make my bed. I would clean up a few things, but there wasn't much in my room. I only moved into this apartment a few days ago, so I didn't have much to fill up the empty spaces. I wouldn't say that my new home was large. It was fairly small. But I don't mind much, only one person is living here. Besides, it felt all cozy which I like.

I swiftly swing the bag around my shoulder and walk out into my living room. I glance at my phone for the time and see that it was only six am. My first class didn't start until eight, so I have a decent amount of time to breathe. Cool.

*Deet Deet*

Eomma: Hope you have a good first day of school Seo Hyeon-ah. Make sure to eat all your meals!

I smiled as I read the text. I quickly text back,

Me: Ne Eomeoni. Tell Apeoji I wish him good luck with his surgery today!

Yeah, Apeoji is a doctor. Well, he's not my real father. Nor was Eomeoni my birth mother. Eomma died of leukemia fourteen years ago. And my Appa...I don't remember him. All the foster care people told me was that my father didn't want me so he gave me up for adoption. So I don't know if he's out in the world somewhere or if he's even still on this Earth. Some part of my mind feels so blank and empty, but it feels like there's something supposed to be there. I have yet to find out what's missing. More like I haven't bothered to search for answers.

I spent a decent eight years in foster care. So many awful things happened there, I don't even want to bring it up. But thankfully, God freed me from my misery and allowed me to be adopted by a kindhearted, middle-aged couple who wanted a daughter but couldn't produce their own. Even I was surprised that they wanted me, who was fifteen at the time. I didn't think I would ever get adopted. But I did, and my new parents are wonderful people.

Anyway, to pass the time I grabbed my trench coat and took Eui out for a walk. The weather was fairly nice today. It was a simple autumn day with the cool wind gently breezing through my hair. Eui seemed pleasantly content as we walked around the park and she would bark when she spotted other dogs walking by.

Two hours passed by in a flicker and I had already gotten on the bus to my college. I know it's sorta weird to be transferring colleges in sophomore year, but I just couldn't stay at the last one. I love Daejeon and I love my parents, but there were too many bad memories there.

In high school, I was bullied and left as an outcast. The only people who I called my friends, ended up proving me wrong. Once I hit college, things weren't much better. There were too much anxiety and pressure, I had to get out of town. Eomeoni and Apeoji were concerned at first, but I had made my decision and my mind was set on it.

So here I am in Seoul, attending the Global Cyber University (through scholarship and my money from many part-time jobs). Even though I declined, my Apeoji insisted on buying me an apartment. I'm very grateful, but I want to be more self-reliant, you know?

About fifteen minutes passed, and I found myself on campus. The building was so...BIG!

Okay, don't let your anxiety screw things up for you Seo Hyeon. I take a deep breath before walking towards the ginormous building. My first class was on videography. The only slight problem was that I had no idea where I was going. My registration was a little late, so I didn't have any time to tour the school and find my classes. I had planned on winging it when I got there. But by seeing how many hallways and doors there were, my head was already spinning.

I looked around and my attention flew to the first person I saw. Maybe he could help me? I sped up my walk and lightly tap his shoulder. He flinched and cursed under his breath, stopping to see who tapped him.

He turned around and that was when I got a better look from him. I almost choked on my saliva when I saw his face. Dang the boy's visuals are evident! He had a raven black, hair that was slightly wavy and appeared styled to be silky smooth. His hairstyle fits perfectly with his heart-shaped face. His eyes were dark brown (like mine) but they had some sort darkness to them. His pale and smooth complexion was similar to mine, perhaps even better. And his pink lips were something girls would die just to get a peck from. How could a man be so...beautiful?

I blush to realize I had stared at the boy for a solid ten seconds.

I shyly smile, "Annyeong. Sorry but I'm sorta new here and I wanted to ask if-"

Before I could finish my sentence the boy shoots me a cold look before walking by as if I wasn't just talking to him.
