29. The Path We Chose

YOUR POV

"Jungkook" I whisper his name for the first time after we've started this journey. I feel like something bad is going to happen. The air in this part of the forest doesn't seem well, the trees are warning me. It's like a phantom has made its appearance here.

"Yes sweetheart" he leans his head down to press a kiss on my forehead before averting his eyes to the rough path that leads us to Daegu in this dark, windy night.

"How long is it going to take us to reach our destination?"

"Mm... Maybe three to four hours? Yeah, since we have a little bit of luggage with us, it's going to be difficult for our horse to move at a faster pace" he speaks after his calculations.

"And how long are we going to walk in the same path?" I ask slowly as I fumble with my own hanbok, nervousness filling my mind.

"Maybe for an hour or two. Why are you asking so many questions today? Is there something wrong?" a visible frown forms on his god like sculpted face, the dim moon light not helping a bit as my eyes only focus on his lips. Damn! I'm being creepy now, I should stop before I lose myself again.

"If something happens you know I can fight for us right?" he leans forward and looks into my eyes with concern. He knows something isn't right and I hate my powers even more when I can't fathom how much trouble we have ahead of us.

"I know Jungkook, but I don't know...... I don't know if we're going to be safe there. We're not sure about what the future has for us. And I'm scared to loose everyone..... scared to loose you" I whisper the last part, nibbling on my lips as tears accumulate in the corner of my eyes.

"Don't worry when I'm here sweetheart. We're together in this and I'll fight for you, for us" he combs my hair as he peppers my cheek with feather-light kisses.

"I know. I trust you, which is the sole reason I'm fleeing away with you, hoping to find a better place somewhere in this country"

"Y/n, I... I know this isn't a very good timing to ask you this question, but I've been thinking about this for sometime now" he slowly starts to broach a topic that he is hesitant to speak about as I nod my head to go on and complete his sentence.

"Is it.. I mean... Do you.. Did you kiss me just because you remembered a few things from the past.. Or.. You know..?" stutters Jungkook as I see from the corner of my vision that he bites his lips while hesitantly glancing at my side.

I've been thinking about it a lot since noon Jungkook. Its complicated and I'm not sure. How do I tell you this?

"I... Honestly, I'm not sure. I thought it was just an infatuation given the amount of time I spent without any contact with the male species but—"

"You were in relationship before?" the curious man cuts me off mid sentence, shock evident in his tone and I can't hide the slight smirk forming on my lips at his reaction.

"Yeah... I was in a relationship.. For a really long time" but it was a toxic one. I don't speak the negative side of it since I don't intend to provoke him in the middle of a dark, deadly forest. And I'm afraid of his reaction if I tell him the whole truth.

"Then... Why did you two break apart?"

"He died" I keep my answer simple and straight to not mention anything more about that bastard who deserved to die, now that I think of it.

Huming at my answer, he continues to make me feel comfortable without further discussing about that particular topic, patting my head and pressing kisses on my cheek every so often to show his care for me.
