"We're here" the driver said after the black screen rolled down. I can't tell where we exactly are because the windows are too tinted.
"Follow me" V said before opening the door on his side and started walking pretty fast. Leaving me behind.
"Faster" he said with clenched teeth when I finally catch up to him.
We continue to walk straight before he pull me inside the bush.
"What are we..." he lead me through some vines and I was fascinated by the view in front of us.
A field green field and a bunch of flora and faunas are greeting us.
We walk further into the feild and a gorgeous lake is spread out open infront of us with a big oak tree right by it. This whole place is completely covered and hidden by a bunch of trees but they're not as big as this oak tree.
*Taehyung's POV*
Yes. This is happening. I'm finally having her to myself.
"This tree is gorgeous" she said while pressing her palm on the tree trunk. The tree really is a beautifully shaped one. The giant long branches, high and low spread across the small feild all the way to above the lake.
(A/N; This is somehow like it but maybe with a lot less moss and more grass maybe lol)

"They call it the hanging tree" I said which made her take her palm away and step back.
"The what?" She asked while looking at all the branches.
"Holy-" she gasped and ran towards me.
"Are-urm what is this...place..." she rubs my hand, hesitating whether to pull me back towards the place where we came from or not while staring at the rope hanging on one of the tall branches with wide eyes.
"Here is where innocent, pure souls take their pain away" I said while walking closer towards the tree.
"They're no bad people, they did no wrong. They're just mistreated souls who can't seem to take it in anymore" I said while staring at the rope.
"H-how can you like this place so much?" she questions.
"I just feel peaceful here. People said their spirits still roam around here, protecting this tree, this gorgeous lake and all the other floras here. Look how fertile these trees are. How arable the land is"
*Haeyoung's POV*
He explains everything so clearly. This is indeed his favorite place. And I'm the first person he's showing this place to. I feel kinda... special?
But that doesn't take away the fact that I'm still getting chills wherever I look. This place is beautiful, I'm not denying that. But the hanging rope on the branch creep me out so much. The thought of people ending their own life creep me out. Life is too good to be ended it such ways.
"Wait can I ask you something?" I said to him.
"Sit here" he sat down under the tree and tap his palm on the spot beside him signaling me to sit there.
"What is it?"
"Why were you walking so fast? And like, can't the driver just drive until here?"
"Why? You're tired walking from the car to here?" he questioned back.
"No... actually maybe but I'm just wondering"
"Haehae-ah, you're the first ever person that I trusted to show this place too. I don't trust anybody else. Not my friends, not my drivers, not even my own mother. I know if Ko knows where I went, he'll obviously would tell my mother" He explains.
"Oh..."
"I know this is kind of personal but why would you not trust your own mother?" He sighs on that.
"Well if you do not want to answer it's al-"
"We're not in a really good relationship. Since my father died my mother needs to replace his place on the company. We used to be so close...then the responsibility of managing the company take over her. And she became a workaholic. I mean, I'm not even sure if my drivers really reports my destinations because I don't think she even care where I go. But still, this place is a secret" he said while looking forward at the lake.
"Things must've been hard for you..."
"Yeah kinda. I might be 4D, or funny, or cute and hyper at school but really, I'm lonely. She rarely comes home or is there when I'm at school or anywhere else. I sometimes go to Jimin's house but he might not be there, or nothing to talk about. At least nothing that I want him to know. So I'll go home. But then again, there's nobody to see at home. Nobody to talk with. So I come here" he smiles.
"I came here to relax or do homeworks. I'll talk to myself and try to comfort myself whenever I have problems. Or cry after my mother verbally abused me" he said and chuckled a bit, looking away from me before biting his lower lip and back to staring forward at the lake.
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have asked" I felt so guilty and sad at the same time. I never knew he had this side in himself.
"It's okay. I've brought you this far, to my favorite place that nobody knows. So we should know more about ourselves am I right?"
"You are"
"So give me the recipe of your restaurant's dakjjim now will you?" He jokes and we both laughed.
~Real time~
We had such a nice time together. But now I know that our relationship was the reason why some girls scribbled bad words on my books. Including 'prostitute' 'whore' 'slut' 'cheap' and more.
