"That sounds logical," he said, probably also aware that keeping each other warm with our body heat was the best option. As hot as it often was during the day, it was cool at night, especially by the water and when the wind blew in from the sea.

"We still have a few hours of light, we should use it to build a shelter behind the rock, where we are much better protected from the wind... in case it rains," I suggested and he nodded. I helped him up and he leaned a little on my shoulder as he hobbled with me towards the forest. On the side of the cliff facing away from the sea, he sat down on the cool stones and rested his foot again. As he could hardly help me, I walked a little way into the forest to find large sticks and pieces of wood, which I stuck into the ground in the approximate size and shape of a bed and then laid longer sticks over them in a grid. Then I collected palm leaves and used them to tie the lattice so that it became more and more stable, before I put as many leaves as possible over it as a roof, before I started to collect moss, with which I laid out the floor in our mini hut so that we had it softer, because behind the rock was no longer a sandy beach, but hard forest soil. I looked at my work with satisfaction and Namjoon was also impressed.

"It might not be able to withstand a storm, but it will keep the wind and rain away from us and perhaps also store some of our heat... but don't we need another door or something? So we can be protected from animals too?" He asked and I bit my lower lip, thinking.

"We could just try sticking sticks in the ground once we're inside, or we could somehow manage to tie wooden sticks together with leaves, then tie them down with more leaves..." was all I could think of.

"The door would be the better option, in case any of us need to go to the toilet, we don't have to dismantle half the shelter," he said and I had to agree with him. So I collected more sticks, slightly smaller than the others, and with two of us sitting down, we successfully built a door.

"Now we even have a hut for the night next time we go exploring," he said with a smile.

"If it's still standing," I interjected.

"As I said, as long as there's no storm, it should stay standing. I'm not too worried about that. I just hope my foot is well enough to walk tomorrow." You could hear the worry in his voice that we might not make it.

"To be honest, your foot won't be much better tomorrow, but with a sturdy stick or two, we'll find you something like crutches and you'll be able to manage the walk, it'll just take us a lot longer than today, so we should leave right after sunrise," I explained to him. It wouldn't be long before it got dark and as we had already used up our water, I took the empty bottles and went further into the forest, as I had seen earlier while collecting sticks that the stream also flowed through here, filled them up again and returned to Namjoon, who had already peeled a few mangoes and persimmons for us, which we then ate for dinner.

"So with this diet here, I'm sure I'll soon have the perfect dream figure," I joked and he looked at me in amazement, checked me out from head to toe and then grinned.

"Well, I don't see what's not perfect about it already," he said dryly and continued to eat calmly while I looked at him in shock. I certainly hadn't expected his answer, it made me embarrassed, which he noticed with a grin.

"Are you trying to flirt with me now that we're alone?" I asked with slightly red cheeks.

"What do you mean, trying, it seems to be working well." he replied as the corners of his mouth lifted further and further and his cute dimples became visible.

"We should get ready for bed now and head to the shelter, the sun is going down." I distracted him from the subject. As he rose with difficulty and slowly followed me, I heard him laughing softly...
