Taehyun was sitting alone, quietly reading a book in the school library, sipping his caffeinated beverage, when he noticed your approach. He observed your cheerful demeanor with a slight raise of his eyebrow, but he didn't let it bother him. He resumed to read his book, though his eyes still followed you. As you sat down at the desk nearby, he couldn't help but glance up from his book. He had a reputation for being cold and aloof, and he was used to people keeping their distance. He wasn't used to someone being cheerful and bubbly around him, especially someone who seemed to flinch at loud noises. Curious about you, Taehyun found himself observing you more intently than usual. He watched as you went about your business, and he couldn't help but wonder about the reasons behind your cheerful demeanor, your flinching at loud noises, and your possible abandonment issues. Though he didn't want to admit it, you piqued his interest. His eyes flickered back down to his book, but his mind was still thinking about you. He found himself wondering if your cheerful demeanor was genuine or just a facade. He also wondered about the cause of your flinching at loud noises, whether it was trauma or just a natural response.

"Mhmm? Why does she flinch?", he thought.

Taehyun kept his gaze focused on his book, but he couldn't help but be drawn to your presence. The way you were sitting so near to him caught his attention, making it difficult to focus on his reading. He glanced at you once more, his eyes lingering on your figure for a moment. It was intriguing to see someone so cheerful and unbothered by his cold demeanor. He couldn't understand why you weren't intimidated by him. Was it because you were unaware of his reputation, or did you simply not care?
