                                             TZUYU'S P.O.V

We went home after some talks with them, it was really fun and i admit that im kinda thankful that i met them, that i met him. I wasn't expecting anything from him either way to the fact that i was thinking he doesn't even care if it's my day or whatever.

I actually like this place now, far from noise and crowds. This place is peaceful. I also appreciated them for still living a happy life far away from chaos in the city. 

"Hey.." he called.

I was sitting still and was just looking at the food in my plate, i feel full already. 

"Why aren't you eating? you look even sadder" i stared at him and then back at the food.

"Thanks" i uttered, i slightly smiling at him which made him look shocked.

"I mean.....thanks for treating me earlier, i..i enjoyed it" he gave me a blank expression, he's frozen for a while.

"Wow, i wasn't thinking that you appreciated all of that though you don't even know me" he scoffs.

"I know we still don't know each other and that makes me want to know you more," i said, not thinking what just came out of my mouth. 

"What i mean is--"

"I get it, you like me, don't you?" i was stunned at what he said. 

"W..what? no, that's not what i mean" i uttered.

Ugh! i can't even say words normally.

"Okay, then i'll take that as a 'maybe'. Hurry up and get to sleep already, i know you're tired the whole day" he said.  nod my head and proceeded eating till i finally finish everything.

 I look at him, his back facing me, i  really wanted to know everything about him.

"Hey.." i softly called him.

"Hmm?"

"Can i ask?" he turned off the tap.

"Sure, what is it?" 

I took a deep breath and think if i should ask him or not, but my curiosity takes over me. "Why did you choose to stay here? why me? you could've just hired some maid if you don't want to be alone" i said. It took him seconds before he answers.

"My parents died trying to save me, i was just a little boy back then and i couldn't do anything. If you're asking why i choose to stay here is because of them, yeah maybe they sometimes lack something as parents but i can't just leave this place. I was born here and i'll die here" he paused. 

 I took a glance at him while placing the plate on the sink, then sat back at the chair. After some time i felt bad about him, why would he even dare to stay here if even his parents don't actually care? 

"Then why did you bring me here? you know what you did was a crime right?" i asked. 

"Actually i've been stalking you for a long time, buy some magazines with your face on it and everything related to you. Others hated you for being what you are when they see you, but i know that you're actually an angel in disguise. Some might have not seen the real you and i was one of them, that's why i brought you here not because i want someone to be with me but because i want to know you better...."

"And i, as a witness, can say that you've changed. Far from the old Chou Tzuyu that everyone knows. And i hope you'll stay like that, like how i met you" he said as he walks closer to my direction. One step after another.
