After talking to Tae, Aera assumed that Hyunjin probably told him about everything
She had to rush her plan now so she planned a date with Tae
Now that she doesn't have much time left, she wanted Tae to suffer the whole time he's with her
So she called him to the woods to stay there for a few days
She has a treehouse somewhere in there so she wanted to stay there with him
Tae being totally unaware of her plans, quickly accepted her invite
*****
Tae and Aera were in the treehouse now, it was bigger than what Tae had expected

He walked inside and noticed how there was only one bedroom with a single bed
He thought there would be a spare mattress in there for him to use and went to Aera
Both were hungry from the travel and from walking all the way inside the woods to this place
"Tae...Can you get something from the woods? I'm pretty sure there are some fruits out there and I'm too tired to walk" Aera said lazily while sitting on the mini couch which would barely fit two
"I saw some food in the fridge, we can use them tonight" Tae suggested as it was dark outside and they already had food inside
Aera got upset and went to the fridge, took food for herself, went to the room and locked the door without another word
Tae was left there dumbfounded but he still thought it was his mistake so he ate the leftover and slept on the mini couch
The next morning, he woke up early to find something to eat
He found a few fruits which looked similar to the ones that were previously in the fridge
After seeing all the other decaying fruits around the trees, he knew Aera had arranged the fruits for them to eat right before they went there
He still didn't think much of it and took the good ones to her
"Hey...I'm sorry about yesterday" he handed over the fruits to her
He picked a lot of fruits which would feed atleast 3 people but Aera took them to the room and locked it again
Tae waited for Aera to come out of the room, she came out after a shower
They were supposed to be on a date but it didn't feel like it
Tae went to the room to wash up too but was quickly stopped by Area
"Where are you going? That's my washroom, you can freshen up in the woods, no one's here except for us" she said which made Tae angry now but he didn't show it to her
Instead, he was planning on leaving that place as soon as possible
He walked all the way to the road where his phone can function again and texted Hyunjin to call him
They talked for a few minutes about very random stuff which confused Hyunjin
Tae then ran to the treehouse to show Aera his call history and how Hyunjin needs him at home today
"But he probably just wants you to not be with me" Aera said, still thinking of ways to stop Tae from leaving
"No Aera, I know this is an emergency for sure" Tae said and packed his things
Aera did the same and they both left the woods
For once, Tae felt free after dropping Aera at her house
He needed to talk to his friends about this so he goes straight to his shared dorm with Jimin and Jungkook
