Hana: (softly) "Tae, why are you holding my hand?"
Tae glanced at Hana's hand in his, then quickly looked away, trying to think of an excuse. His mind raced, but all he could come up with were a few silly reasons that didn't make much sense, even to him.
Tae: (awkwardly) "Uh... your hand looked cold. I thought I'd warm it up."
Hana raised an eyebrow, not quite convinced.
Hana chuckled softly, her earlier tension easing as she realized Tae was just being his usual awkward self. She squeezed his hand gently, deciding not to press him further.
Hana: (teasing) "Well, thanks for keeping me safe, Tae."
Tae smiled, feeling both relieved and a little embarrassed. He kept holding her hand
Tae's quickly gave a soft kiss on Hana's forehead, making her cheeks flush a deep red. The warmth from his lips lingered, and she found herself smiling despite the flurry of emotions swirling within her.
Tae noticed the blush spreading across her cheeks and couldn't help but grin.
Tae: (teasingly) "Good night, minion."
Hana: (shyly) "Good night, moonlight."
Tae froze for a moment, surprised by the nickname she had just called him. It was something he hadn't heard in a long time. A faint blush crept up his own cheeks, but before he could say anything more, she had already turned over and tightly closed her eyes, trying to calm her racing heart. Tae chuckled to himself, feeling a strange mix of nostalgia and warmth.
The next morning, the sun filtered through the curtains, waking them gently from their slumber. Tae was the first to wake, glancing over to see Hana still peacefully asleep. He smiled at how calm and serene she looked, the worries of the past day seemingly forgotten. He quietly got ready, not wanting to disturb her.
When Hana finally woke up, she found Tae already dressed and waiting for her.
Tae: "Morning, minion. Sleep well?"
Hana: (smiling) "Yes, very well. Morning, moonlight."
They both shared a small laugh at their new nicknames, the air between them light and easy. After Hana got ready, they headed downstairs together.
As they entered the kitchen, Tae's parents were already up and bustling about, preparing breakfast. Tae's mother looked up with a warm smile when she saw them.
Mom: "Good morning, you two! Did you sleep well?"
Hana: (smiling) "Good morning, mom! Yes, we did."
Dad: (grinning) " There's a lovely mall nearby, and I'm sure you'll find something you like."
Hana looked at Tae, who gave her an encouraging nod.
Tae: "You'll enjoy it. My parents have great taste."
Hana: (nodding) "That sounds wonderful. I'd love to go."
Mom: (excitedly) "Great! We'll leave after breakfast, then."
Tae's parents were doing everything they could to make Hana feel welcome and at ease. After breakfast, they all prepared to head out for the shopping trip.
his mother eagerly showed Hana different dresses, clearly excited about dressing her up for the upcoming auction.
Hana tried on various outfits, blushing at each of Tae's approving looks, while Tae and his father searched for suits to wear to the event. The atmosphere was light, filled with laughter and chatter, as everyone enjoyed the shopping spree.
But things shifted dramatically when Hana excused herself to go to the washroom. She walked through the crowded mall, oblivious to the danger lurking nearby. After a few minutes, as she was making her way back to where Tae's mother was browsing, three men suddenly grabbed her, one of them swiftly covering her mouth to stifle any scream.
Tae's mother, who had been keeping an eye on Hana, noticed the commotion from a distance. Her heart pounded in her chest as she saw the men dragging Hana toward the parking garage. She dropped the dresses she was holding and hurried to find Tae.
Mom: (breathless) "Tae! Hana... three men... they took her!"
Tae's heart froze at his mother's words. Without wasting a second, he sprinted towards the parking lot, adrenaline pumping through his veins. His mind raced with fear and anger, picturing Hana struggling in the hands of those men.
As Tae reached the parking area, he saw a car speeding away, Hana visible through the rear window, struggling against her captors. Tae didn't hesitate. He jumped into his own car, slammed the accelerator, and took off after them, weaving through the mall traffic with a single-minded focus.
Tae: (muttering to himself) "I won't let them take you, Hana."
The chase was intense. The kidnappers swerved through the streets, trying to lose Tae, but he was relentless, keeping close behind them.
