"My Healer"

Part - 3 : The festive night

Eun's POV~

Eun came to get some herbs from the forest. Only god knows why she came in the night and not in the day. She was collecting the herbs in a basket. She got almost every herb she wanted. She was searching for one particular herb which atlast she found in a bushy area between trees. She was doing her job when suddenly someone grabbed her and attacked her. She dropped her basket in the ground.

Eun : Dont kill me!!

She was shivering in fear closing her eyes. A hand was holding hers firmly.
When she didnt get any move from other side she opened her eyes and met with his. That mesmerizing eyes of his made her drown in it. His eyes were stuck on hers still holding her hand.

She came back to reality and tried to get her hand out of his which brought Taehyung to reality. Eun tried to get out of his grip which in turn only made him to hold her tighter.

Taehyung : Who are you?
Eun : I should be asking you. Who are you?
Taehyung : Me? I am a gaurd from palace.

Eun looked him from up and down. Taehyung only now realised, he is still in a commoners attire which he wore in the morning in the south coast village.

Taehyung facepalmed himself  in the mind.

Taehyung : Now tell me! Who are you?
Eun : Why would I tell a stranger?
Taehyung : Correct. Why would a thief dispose herself?
Eun : Thief? Do I look like a thief?
Taehyung : Why? Do you think you look like a Princess?

Taehyung smirked and Eun glared at him.

Eun : I am not a thief!
Taehyung : Then what were you doing in the forest? At this hour?
Eun : I came to collect herbs
Taehyung : Do you think I will believe you?
Eun : Then why care to ask?

Eun scoffed and tried to get out of his grip. Taehyung looked at their hands and smiled at her struggle.

Taehyung : What are you doing?
Eun : Cant you see?
Taehyung : Ofcourse I can! Should I prove I am not blind? There's a girl standing in front of me. She looks very average.

Eun glared at him for his comment.
Taehyung still continued.

Taehyung : I think she didnt grow after adolescence. She is only to my... waist? I guess.

Taehyung was making fun of her for no reason. He was looking at her features and describing her.

Taehyung:Her face....hm....Its enough to identify her as human. Her cheeks looks like half boiled dumplings.Her nose looks a bit long....Someone dragged you by your nose or what?

Eun glared at him.

Taehyung : Her eyes....eyes....

Taehyung was not able to say anything when he got struck in her eyes. Suddenly Taehyung felt a pain in his thighs. His hands loosened which gave Eun a chance to get out of his grip. She took her basket and ran away from him.

Taehyung wanted to catch her but to his surprise his body couldnt move an inch.

He looked at her running figure turning back from time to time to look at him. He stood there like something possessed him. His lower body became numb. He didnt care about his state and looked at her without even blinking.

Then he looked down at his thigh and saw a long golden colored needle peeking out from his skin.

He understood she used some accupuncture technique to make him immobile for some moment.

Tae took out the needle but still couldnt move. He took the needle to his eye level and looked at it. After few seconds he could feel his senses come back.
