3RD PERSON POV:
"Don't forget to get everything off that damn list. Or else you'll be locked up for 3 days this time." a woman demanded, sprawled onto a couch and sounding absolutely exhausted despite the only action she accomplished so far, being dropping juicy red cherries into her mouth.

"yes mother." said a young girl with beautiful black hair swept into a ponytail, long eyelashes framing gorgeous brown eyes, and a doll like figure. she would have been nothing short of a doll, if it weren't for her dark eye bags and numerous bruise markings.

taking the money, the girl left home and headed out to town.

"bread, string, vegetables.." she trailed off until her eyes landed onto shop that offered mouth watering peaches.

her eyes dazzled while she could practically taste the fruit with all the staring she's done, but the shop woman caught her stare and glared.

"Get the hell off my property, you little freak." she sneered. the girl's eyes dimmed a bit once she caught onto the woman's rude behavior.

"Oh, you'd like these peaches huh? So ripe and juicy, just ready to eat?" the woman proceeds to take a rotting peach from a pile spoiled fruits at her side.

"Too bad we don't service vermin." she said with malice, dropping the peach right in front of yoona. it splattered at on her torn shoes, soaking her feet with it's bits and sticky juices. her heart sunk even more hearing the woman's nasally laugh.

"Get lost."

but before she could even walk away, the woman got infuriated.

"I said get lost, brat!" she yelled, picking up another peach, getting ready to throw it at the girl.

yoona braced for impact, but never felt it hit.

opening her eyes, she saw a large hand holding the thrown peach, and her eyes traced it to a tall man. he looked young, and the woman looked shocked.

"Ah! Mr.Byun, pleasure to see you back in town, it's been too long." she lustfully drawls the word, while using a sickeningly sweet voice.

"Hello to you too, Ms.Chae." the man responded, standing protectively in front of the young girl before giving a small smile.

"Would you like to view my goods? They're ripe and ready for taking." she finished off with a sultry wink, crossing her arms under her chest.

"We'll talk another time," he puts some clean bills onto her stand before taking yoona's small hand into his large one. he gave her the peach he caught earlier.

then before walking back, he looked back at the woman and smiled. ms.chae's eyes flickered with hope.

  "And Ms.Chae, throwing rotten products at your customer isn't very professional, along with your work attire." he said, gesturing to her breasts practically pouring out her shirt.

"You might attract the wrong attention." he finished with that same curt smile, before walking away with yoona, leaving ms.chae embarrassed and infuriated.

"Now come on, let's find a place to clean you up." the man kindly said, giving her a more genuine smile compared to the one he shown ms.chae.

yoona could do nothing but dumbly nod, in awe of the man that actually helped her out.

he pulled her along to a bench, and sat her down. yoona was shocked when he squatted down, and pulled out a clean handkerchief. the man gently took off her shoes, and proceeded to wipe the peach bits off her tiny feet.

"m-mister!" yoona said in absolute suprise. the man chuckled before wiping the last drops off, admiring her feet as she squirmed a bit.

"Now young miss, that's all better!" the man said in approval, before looking up to meet her eyes. for a second his own widened, before returning to their kind lidded form.

"Now why was a little lady like you conversing with mean Ms.Chae?" he questioned, tilting his head in confusion.

yoona's voice got caught in her throat, while she fumbled with the peach in her hands.

"Well, regardless of the reason, try not to go near there anytime soon. It's not everyday that a nice stranger like me strolls by." he said gently, before looking at her soaked, torn and sticky shoes distastefully.

he then swept her up and carried her, his arm under her legs, her arms flying around his neck in surprise and fear of falling.

yoona yelped in surprise, before looking at the man in confusion.

"Don't worry," he waited for her name.

"y-yoona." she shyly responded.

"Ahem, don't worry Yoona. We'll take care of what you need to do today and get you some shoes." he said before walking off, with her in his arms.

"s-sir, but i don't have much money." she whimpered, looking down.

he then looked up at her before chuckling again. looking up, yoona took in his features. he looked familiar to her in a strange way, with his dark brown hair, shining eyes, sharp jawline and overall good looks. what yoona was most entranced about was his smile. it really did remind her of something.

"First off, I don't think anybody's been named sir, but my name young lady," he put up his other hand to her. she put hers out too, shaking his finger. chuckling at her shy antics, he continued.

"Is Byun Baekhyun. And money won't be a problem today, so relax and only worry about eating the yummy peach I got you." he smiled, before walking into the main part of town.

yoona thought this all could've been a dream, but she was slapped with reality the moment she bit into the peach.

the sweetness rushing into her mouth told her that this was all indeed happening.
