At the sound of the engine roaring, Jeno heard a small squeal leaving the girl's lips. Peeking at the corner of his eyes he spotted her gripping her bag strap so tight her palms turned into a light shade of red.

Smirking lightly he speedily reversed like a pro before driving down the road. At the sensation of them moving, Ga-eun let out a high-pitched scream. Unconsciously she latched her left palm onto his broad shoulder squeezing it tight.

Pursing his lips he tried to contain his laughter but how he was not supposed to when she was crying her heart out. Bursting into a fit of giggles he hit the steering wheel lightly. "You remind me of the time when I screamed when Roman galloped" hearing him tease at her frightened state, Ga-eun let out a small whimper still keeping her eyes shut tight.

"S-slow down!" She began kicking the side of the car and slapping the window. At her actions, Jeno just laughed out even louder. "It's not a horse to kick. It won't slow down like that" pouting, she sniffed feeling her eyes tear up lightly. Grinning widely he ruffled her hair at the adorable sight. "Slow down Jeno" she repeated but all he could do was shake his head, declining her request.

"Sorry, can't do babe there's a speed limit" snapping her head to the side, Ga-eun choked on her spit not able to process the new Jeno she is facing. "W-why are you not calling me Merida anymore?" she muttered out. Shrugging his shoulders he kept his sight on the road. "Do you want me to only call you Merida?"

Facing her hands she bit her bottom lip harshly. "You can call me whatever you want" at the familiar words she spoke out like the time in the forest, Jeno gave a slight nod deep in thoughts. A smirk adorned his features as a thought ran through his mind. "Can I call you mine?"

Unfortunate for him Ga-eun was immersed with the outside world. Her attention was placed on the building and people around. Admiring their fashion, infrastructure and way of transport she did not hear his words completely. Snapping her head to the side she glanced over to Jeno. "Did you say something?" she cluelessly questioned. His smile instantly faltered, gawking at her up and down as he took a stop at the traffic lights.

Of course she didn't hear

Shaking his head he flickered his sight onto her hand that still latched on his shoulder. She seemed to have relaxed a bit but the grip on him did not fall loose. Smiling softly he picked it up before placing it on the gear.

Confused by what he was doing, Ga-eun watched closely as Jeno placed his bigger palm on top of hers before changing gears as he started moving once again.

Averting her sight back at him she felt her heart pounded faster as a flutter of butterflies invaded her stomach dancing around. Strangely her tensed up muscles calmed down. The fear she once had of not wanting to ride in a car had changed. She suddenly began to enjoy it, more than she would've expected.

The feeling of his larger hand holding on top of hers, how he caressed it with his thumb whenever they stopped at the traffic lights. She wanted to stay longer.
