**A/N: Okay, so Wattpad was being weird with some of my older chapters, so I just finished fixing some of them up. Hope that doing that didn't screw up anything else. Anyways, enough blabbing!**

I gazed down at the plate of food before me. It smelled so good as the different ingredients swirled up into my nostrils, making the grumbles from stomach even more audible. To say I was hungry was a bit of an understatement. No, I was absolutely famished and starving. I hadn't even realized it until the growl of my stomach had interrupted mine and Levi's kiss...resulting in us winding up there, at The Rogue, which was a little diner close to his apartment.

Levi sat across from me, a steaming mug of black tea to his side and a grilled melt sandwich in front of him, those gray orbs watching me. I honestly hadn't expected him to feed me, let alone drag me to a diner. But, there we were. The handsome professor with the stoic expression and his trembling student. I was a little nervous to say at least...and I felt like a damn charity case on top of that. Swell.

"You should eat," he finally broke the silence between us before taking a bite of his melt. "You look a little pale. Food might help to make you feel better."

Another growl from my stomach. I sighed and lifted up my burger. Everything from the way the grease slid off the meat to how the cheese melted had my mouth watering and that I couldn't deny. I opened my mouth and chopped a bite full of food, the flavors exploding into my mouth. It was delicious. I took another bite and then another, all just as tasty as the first.

"Though you might want to slow down, otherwise you'll end up feeling the exact opposite of better," Levi suggested.

I observed myself and swallowed, "Sorry. It's just, I didn't really eat last night."

"And why would that be?" he asked, lifting a brow.

I opened my mouth to answer but changed my reply last minute, replacing it with, "It's...it's a long story."

He placed his melt down and leaned forward, resting his weight on his elbows. "Well, I have time." He glanced around. "We're in no rush here, so enlighten me."

I chewed on my bottom lip and played with a fry. "Really...it'll bore you." I rolled my eyes. "Ya know, stupid girl drama."

"You'd be surprised," he replied.

I swallowed, feeling my senses leave me. My face flushed red as the thought of telling Levi, my English instructor whom I had slept with on more than one occasion my "problems". I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Firstly, because it wasn't fair to drag him into a mess he was never apart of and secondly, because I couldn't bring myself to chance it. I just couldn't risk being burned again. I had already been seared enough in the past.

"Is it the same reason you left h/p?" he abruptly asked, taking me off guard.

I brought my eyes to his and defended, "N-no. I already told you. I came here beca-"

"Oh please," he snorted. "Drop the bullshit. No girl is going to travel thousands of miles by herself and leave her home, family, and friends behind all just for statistics." He crossed his arms against his chest and sat back. "Now, try again, Mooi."

I bit my bottom lip, not caring if he was aroused or upset by it. I was thinking of anything to tell him that avoided the truth. Anything that left him in the dark. Anything at all. I even began to consider leaving when a deep voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Y/N?" it asked.

I searched Levi but saw it wasn't him. In fact, he was staring at the space behind me, his stoic expression masking his emotions. It was then my heart dropped. That voice...I knew that voice. I knew it very well. I knew it too well. I could feel my soul leave my body just then. I wanted to bolt it for the door, but my legs had transformed into jelly. I was paralyzed and trapped with no escape, just Levi's glare darting between myself and the speaker, driving a stake through me.

There's no fucking way. I mentally panicked as I began to turn. There's no fucking way he found me here. Just no way. But as my eyes collided with those black orbs brimming with excitement, I knew I was in trouble.

P.S. Any fellow A.R.M.Y.s?? Dude, BTS' new MV ("DNA") had me so fangirling! Like, I love it! The song has nothing to do with this fanfic, but I thought I'd share it to spread the awesomeness which is BTS. Even if you don't like them or Kpop in general, it's okay. I love 'em<3
