Eternal love

The Man in the Woods

I woke up with the sun shining on me and groaned slightly from the bright light. As I slowly opened my eyes, I realized I was still in the library.

"Shit," I muttered under my breath. I quickly got up and sprinted to the door. Running down the hallway as quietly as I could, I prayed that nobody had seen me. Finally, I slipped into my room and shut the door behind me, leaning against it as I tried to catch my breath.

Some time has passed by. I spent the whole evening in the library, choosing different books to read. I lost track of time as I wandered through the aisles, captivated by the endless rows of books and stories.

As I was reading one of the many books I chose, I fell asleep. My arms were folded and I rested my head on the table.

Suddenly, I felt a light tap on my shoulder. "Hey, sleepyhead," Jeongin's voice whispered softly. I stirred but didn't fully wake up. A moment later, I felt a gentle poke on my cheek, followed by a quiet chuckle. "Come on, you can't sleep here all night," he said teasingly. His voice was warm and kind, making it impossible not to smile as I slowly opened my eyes.

"It's worth it though, time passes quicker when I sleep." I said.

Jeongin chuckled softly, shaking his head. "I guess that's one way to look at it," he replied with a smile. "But you missed out on some good reading time. Maybe next time, we can find a more comfortable spot for a nap." His eyes sparkled with amusement, and he gently ruffled my hair. "Come on, let's go for a walk before you fall asleep again."

I groaned and buried my face back in my arms. "I don't want to go for a walk," I mumbled, feeling grumpy and sleepy.

Jeongin sighed dramatically, but I could hear the smile in his voice. "Alright, grumpy," he said, and before I knew it, he scooped me up into his arms.

"Hey!" I protested weakly, but he just laughed.

"You're too tired to walk, so I'll carry you," he said cheerfully, making his way toward the library door. Despite my initial annoyance, I couldn't help but feel a bit flustered by his warm embrace.

As we walked through the corridor, I started to hold Jeongin tighter, my hands wrapping around his neck for support. The warmth of his body and the steady rhythm of his footsteps made me feel some type of way. I leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "Jeongin, are my grandparents asleep? I don't want to wake them up."

Jeongin's breath was warm against my cheek as he whispered back, "Don't worry, they're fast asleep. " He gave me a reassuring smile, and I felt my cheeks flush a light pink color. I don't think I've ever been this close to him before. The closeness made my heart race, and I could feel his warm breath on my neck, causing a gentle shiver to run through me, making it hard to focus on anything else but him.

As we stepped outside, he gently put me down on the ground and took my hand in his, leading me with a gentle tug.

"Where are we going?" I asked, curiosity tinged with anticipation.

"I thought maybe we could go for a walk in the forest," he said warmly. "It's beautiful out there, and it's really close to home."

His voice carried a hint of excitement, and I couldn't help but smile at the thought of exploring the beauty of the forest with him.

We walked trough the forest hand in hand, the cool night air filled with the soothing sounds of rustling leaves. The tranquility of the forest felt almost magical, and we chatted softly, enjoying each other's company.

Suddenly, as we were walking, I heard footsteps behind us. My heart pounded in my chest, and I clutched Jeongin's arm tightly.

"Jeongin, I'm scared," I whispered, my voice trembling.

"It's okay, love. I'm here with you," he said, gripping his hand on my waist for comfort.

Despite his comforting words, fear overtook me as the footsteps grew louder and closer. We turned around and saw a mens figure emerging from the shadows, a sinister grin spreading across his face.

"Where do you think you're going? You should be more careful out here," the man said, with a deep and eerie voice.

panic overtook me, I started taking steps back noticing the man started walking towards me and I started running. I ran so fast, with my heart pounding in my chest, but after a few moments, I realized Jeongin wasn't with me. I looked around frantically, but he was nowhere in sight. I couldn't stop running, fear propelling me forward.

"Jeongin!" I yelled, my voice cracking with desperation.

There was no response. Tears streamed down my face as I looked around, searching for him in the darkness. Suddenly, I tripped over a branch and fell...

but instead of hitting the ground, I fell into someone's arms. I looked up to see my beloved Jeongin.

"Shhh, it's okay, love. I'm right here," he said, pulling me closer to him. His presence instantly calmed my racing heart, and I buried my face in his chest, while tears streamed down my face.

"We need to get out of here," he said softly but urgently, holding me tight as he quickly got up, picked me up and carried me all the way home.
