The sky clear with the sun shining warmly after so many windy and cloudy days. The peaceful chirping of birds, with the squirrels running here and there, several butterflies decorating the surrounding for aesthetic mood. It was a good morning.



Sitting on the doorsteps of the rusty house with her elbows on the knees and chin on her palms. She observe the broad shoulder man in the tank top sweating badly as he swing the axe again and again.



His lean and slim figure rotated to her sight. Fade hints of muscles bulging on his arms every time he grip the axe tightly, forehead shining with sweat even in the month of January. She sit admiring him lost in her own thoughts watching him cut the woods.



Her mind was running wildly from one thought to the other. Escaping was not a choice anymore. She knew it and if he lets her go by mercy she'd be thankful. It's not bad being here, but the situation is. If she were here with a drop dead gorgeous man in other circumstances, she would've happily agreed to stay on but that's the difference that she is not at all happy.



But it's not bad too due to her accord, not having to pay up for expenses and not caring about studies and work, pretty careless life. If she dies, she wouldn't regret dying because she has none to lose.



She was too deep in thoughts only to flinch away as Taehyung sit beside her and nudge her by the shoulder. She exhale heavily and look at his sweating and panting form, while passing him his water bottle.



He takes it and chug it down in one go and she stare at his perfect Adam apple bobbing up and down and she gulp. She look away and turn a deep red at how unnecessary she was being. She knows he noticed by the side of his eyes and she will be melting down here if he mentions it.



"Uhm!" He cough to gain her attention. There we go. She doesn't look at him nor say anything. They were still awkward but comfortable enough from before. "You make me uncomfortable!" As the words leave his mouth, she felt like digging her grave and hiding in the depths of the earth.



"Uh...how..!?" She pinch her thigh to divert her attention from him to a new pain but it's lame. He takes her hand that was pinching her thigh in order to calm down and hold it in his big ones. She close her eyes and tried not to wiggle in this moment.



He shift closer and said. "There's always this disgusting feeling in my gut whenever I look at you!" Her heart drop. There! He said it what she feared the most, he finds her ugly too. The only man who made her feel a tiny bit and made her blush said she made him feel disgusted.



He clasp her hand tightly but she was too sad to notice. "It's like the stomach does flip flops and make me want to churn up, like it tickles and it also doesn't!" He said wondering as she gape at him. Did he just.....?



Oh...my...god...!



He was too emerged in describing about that disgusting feeling to notice that she was boring holes in him. "I'm used to being numb so these new things you know...scares me a little. Like how when I'm near you, my heart beats so much as if I'm running errands, I feel hot all over when ever you speak or do anything or-" he stops when she abruptly yanks her hand away from his.



He look up surprised and her expression is one of horror making him more surprised. She looks like she had seen a ghost. He tried to hold onto her, to ask her what happened but she was quick to back away and stood up. He jump to his feet thinking she is going to run.



But before he could do anything she bolt inside the house leaving him alone and confused. He stood there with that lost puppy look thinking if he had done something wrong now or it's just her own mood swings. She had asked him how he felt disgusting and he just answered.
