The sky looked beautiful. The two of them walked quietly down the path. Taehyung seemed quiet and Eunji decided not to talk about the previous incident. Eunji spotted a railing barricading the higher land, providing an amazing view of the entire city. Forgetting everything in a second, she gasped and ran towards it.

"Isn't it beautiful?", she said, smiling. She leaned on the railing, feeling the breeze on her face.

No answer came. Before she could turn around she felt the embrace of a warm clothing wrap itself around her. Taehyung, now, minus the coat which he had put around Eunji, walked up to stand beside her.

"You'll catch a cold.", He said. Eunji looked up at him as he stared blankly at the scenery, the lights from the night city illuminating his face. She felt her face flush, not knowing that it was because of the caring actions that people like Minhyuk could never show to her.

"Y-you don't have to worry about me...." Her voice trailed off.

"Do you want me to drop you off?", he asked.

"It's only 6. And it's wonderful up here.", she said.

The two remained silent for a while. For eunji, she didn't feel awkward standing alone with the boy she hated more than anything. In fact she found the silence strangely comfortable. However she decided to finally ask him about that.

"You wanna talk about it? What happened back there?", she asked.

"There is nothing to talk about. You saw it. You saw everything.", he answered.

"You sound sad."

"This is how I sound all the time."

"Then you must be sad all the time." Hearing that, Taehyung smiled slightly.

"There! You smiled!", she exclaimed.

A little while later, Eunji looked up at him.
"You know what? I'm not letting you stand here and sulk over some worthless drama. Come with me." With that she dragged Taehyung by the hem of his shirt sleeve and dragged him outside.

"What- where are we going? I'm taking you home this instant."

"Shut up. I'm an independent girl solely responsible for my own actions. I decide when we go home Mister. " And with that Taehyung found himself being pulled across the path and down the steps outside the hotel.

Eunji stopped finally st a bus station.
"What? Why are we here?", Taehyung protested.

"Can you for a second be quiet?" Eunji said as she stood on her tip toes and pressed her finger against his lips.

Taehyung's heart skipped a beat. Their faces were inches apart and Eunji, unfazed by the interaction smiled at him slyly. To his dismay, Taehyung felt himself blushing a slight shade of red.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Come on! The bus is here."
Taehyung was hurled into the bus by Eunji.

Taehyung was disappointed to see all the seats occupied.

"Mr. Spoilt Brat, how often do you take the bus?"

"T-this is my first time.", Eunji looked at him in disbelief and then laughed.

"Indeed, you're a spoilt brat now, aren't you! Well, I'll try to make full use of my short term with you to teach you some lessons and manners here and there."

"No thank you, I'm perfectly fine.", He rolled his eyes.

The bus stopped at a busy station and an awful crowd boarded the bus. Quickly and impulsively Taehyung moved Eunji to the corner and covered her so that she wouldn't be pushed in the mob. Eunji was taken aback by the sudden, but gentle gesture. So now, the two stood against the wall facing each other, Eunji standing quite comfortably, thanks to Taehyung.

Their eyes met and it was followed by a lot of awkwardness. Eunji's heart was beating faster than usual, which she tried to conceal to herself.

"What is wrong with me?"

When the bus arrived, Eunji said, "C-come on now, our stop is here." With a slight hustle the two cut through the crowd and got off.

"For goodness sake Shin Eunji, just tell me where we're going!"
Eunji guided him through the alley
And at the edge of an street announced, "Myeongdong street!"
