Taehyung

I don't like her attitude towards me. Why she is so rude to me? Or else she don't know how to talk with strangers.

Rude.

"So, where are we going?" Seokjin hyung spoke in between, while we were busy passing death glares to each other. I rolled my eyes just like her and got myself up to be along with others.

"Well, maybe we all have different ways to go. So, it's better to go on our ways." She suggests, laughing.

"By the way, what were you all doing here?" She asked.

"It's none of your business." I respond to her, before anyone speaks "We, too, are finding here something important."

"Taehyung." Namjoon hyung interrupted me, trying to stop me. But I ignored him while looking at her directly in her eyes, where I saw her beautiful oceanery coloured eyes, with a little tint of black mixed within. Her pupils enlarged as it groaned, planting deep down in my eyes.

Though she was rude, she was still really pretty.

"What's your problem?" She frowned. I can clearly say she was pissed off. I like that.

"Nothing, I don't know." I shrugged.

"Then keep your mouth shut. I am not talking to you." She stepped forward, near to me. I glanced down at her eyes, at her little figure. Whenever she stepped closer to me, my heart beat fastened. And I don't know why. Her tiny figure slightly lifted upwards directly to me, when she pointed at me.

"Areum, Areum." Jimin came between us, grabbing my hand to pull me back.

"Taehyung, you shouldn't have talk to her like that." Namjoon hyung stood beside her.

"Hyung, it's better to go. I don't want to stay here." I huffed.

"I am happy, we won't meet again." She admitted.

I don't know why saying her those words made my heart ache. It was like a part of me is moving away. It is weird, the feelings I feel for her are weird. I looked at her, at her eyes, the very last time. Maybe.

But I want to meet you again, Areum.

"That applies to me as well." Saying this, I walked away from her.

I didn't looked back maybe because I don't want to or maybe I...

Areum

Why am I not feeling good? Why leaving him seems like a wromg decision? Why something is uncomfortable around me?

He didn't even looked back as he walked away. He was going, going far from me. I was supposed to be happy but I was not. I didn't want to let him go, maybe. I am not sure, what I am feeling and why I am feeling this.

"Taehy-" I tried to call him, but I stopped. Everything was dark, revolving around me. I couldn't see anything. I felt like I was falling down.

"Areum!" This was the last thing I heard when I realised, I passed out.

Taehyung

"Areum!" I heard her name. Turning around, I found her in Jimin's arms. She passed out. I quickly ran to her.

I saw Ari tapping her cheeks to wake her up. Jungkook and Seokjin hyung moved to lake to get water. I kneel down, sitting beside her, holding her hands. And, it was so cold.

What's wrong with her? Why her body is cold?

"We quickly need a doctor." Ari spoke, looking at me.

"What's wrong with her? Why is she so cold every time?" I rubbed her hands to warm up her, but I guess, that wasn't helping.

"Taehyung, I'll explain later. But now she really need a doctor." Ari's worried face bothered me more.

"She has poison in her body."

What? Poison in her body. Those words, they felt pain in my heart. It really felt like killing me inside. Her not opening the eyes, all worrying, and me who was about to leave her. This wasn't fair.

Why does it feels like it's all mine? Why did I felt pain when she mentioned "poison"? Like, I felt ripping me apart. Leaving her feels like taking away the water from a desired being.

"What?" Namjoon hyung yelled.

Without wasting a minute, I carried her in my arms and got on my horse. Others, followed me. Jungkook suggested a village near us. We quickly moved to that direction on our horses.

She laid her head on my chest. I could feel her breath tracing down on my chest. She moved her arms to push me but I pulled her, by her waist in my embrance.

Just then, her left hand touched mine right hand, where I sensed something in my body. My mark on my hand began to burn. It was hurting me.

Why is it burning?

"It's....hurting...." I looked down to Areum, groaning in pain. I thought it was because of poison but I was wrong. She had the same mark on her wrist too. It was shining like mine. The yellowish colour traced down on our hands, making it burn our wrists.

I quickly held her tight not letting her see in more pain. I ignored the mark on my wrist, my burning and continued to lead my horse.

We were soon to













"I'll protect you."
