Seattle, Washington: Institute of Dark Magic.


-Jungwoo's POV-

I stared at Taeyong long enough to notice his worried expression and desperate desire to assist me. However, once I felt his touch on my head, I looked down and felt flustered.

-Taeyong-hyung, what are you doing here? – I asked while averting my eyes shyly.

-I was searching for you, so I asked Doyoung where to find you. – Taeyong answered while still looking at me, concerned. -Jungwoo, you are trembling. Here, come with me; you need to calm down. – Taeyong sincerely said while holding my arm, shortly making me stand up from my seat.

-You don't have to do this. I can handle it by myself. – I assured Taeyong, but it was useless since he continued to place my books away. Briefly, he grabbed my side bag and placed it on his shoulder. -Taeyong-hyung, I'm okay! – I insisted while trying to get his attention, but he just shook his head.

Eventually, Taeyong stood closer to me and held my hand while I breathed heavily.

-You are under a lot of stress. Just look at yourself, Jungwoo. – Taeyong worriedly said before dragging me out of the library's corridor, shortly guiding me to the exit. -Let's go to my place and talk. – Taeyong said. But when I heard him, I immediately stopped my way. Then, he looked back at me, confused.

-At your place? – I looked at him, conflicted.

-I live alone, so you don't have any excuses for not coming. – Taeyong firmly said before holding my hand once more. This time, he took me out of the library and continued to guide me to his home.


Moments later. – At Taeyong's home.

Taeyong drove to his house with me. We arrived briefly, and fortunately, I controlled myself through the entire ride.

Taeyong's house looks cozy from the outside. It has green bushes, tall pine trees to the sides of the structure, and a cobblestone path to the entrance. Also, the house includes a stone wall and a steel fence: it has a beautiful design mimicking leaves and stems. And the house itself has big windows, a dark wood exterior, and a dark brown roof. There's also a porch with plants and other exterior decorations.

I admired the house while following Taeyong from behind. And eventually, he opened the door for me, kindly letting me into his home. – Once the door closed, Taeyong told me to sit down at the kitchen table. Then, he placed our stuff close to the entrance before going into the kitchen. In the meantime, I looked around, noticing the similar design of the rooms to the house's exterior. It has a dark brown wood floor, but the walls are a brighter wood tone, like birch.
