"I don't think I want to imagine what he'd do to me if he saw who you ran away with." I laughed at his scared expression.

"Don't worry, no one knows we're here.... Just you and me." I laced my hands with his as we continued our way inside the fancy town.

"And that was our story. Most of it, just mostly of how you and I met." Yoongi had unknowingly scooted over to me where our shoulders now touched. As I felt the warmth of his body making my cold one feel warm.

"To tell you the truth, I'm shocked to even say I recall all what I had just said. I usually have a hard time remembering the past." Every other memory flew to the back of my mind. Seemingly to be forgotten forever. But that certain memory between him and I, was one I certainly will remember.

"I guess you and I had something really special if we had known each other for a month, to run away with one another." He chuckled whilst he flashed his gummy smile.

"The thing you talked about with this Constance lady. Did she really mean what she said? About us being meant for each other?" My eyes focused on the finger that once had a ring.

I let out a hum.

"There were some sayings that you are destined for someone only once. Somehow the universe creates someone just for you. That even when you die, your souls will always find each other in the next. When you and I locked eyes in the alleyway... " I paused and looked to the side staring at the side of his face.

"It felt like the first time we met all over again. And I knew behind those scared eyes of yours, that you had some idea of who I might've been. And you knew that I wouldn't hurt you..." Yoongi had now turned his head, whilst both of us had now stared at each other. His eyes scanning over my face.

"I knew it. I think I was just scared because.... Having never met you in this life, and seeing you now was scary for me. All the emotions I felt, terrified me in that moment. And I think that's why I had to leave."

"And I don't blame you. I mean, if I were in your shoes and some person covered in blood came up to you saying your name. I'd be mortified." His shoulders shook from laughter, it was the prettiest sight I've seen.

Yoongi continued with one of his stories he shared when he was in school. But I couldn't focus on what he was saying because I was focusing on something else.

My ears perk from the sound of thumping. My eyes quickly shifted to the window. I stood up causing Yoongi to look at me with puzzlement. Pulling the curtain to the side just enough to peek through the crack, I saw something speed by into the trees.
