taehee flickered her eyes open the next morning to see that she was now handcuffed to the cold bars of the cage. the thing is, there was a warm presence around her; joshua. he had his skinny arms wrapped around her cold, fragile body.

was he asleep? she wondered.

sure enough, he was indeed asleep. she watched his chest rise and descend slowly. her eyes trailed from his chest to his face. she had a sudden realization that she missed out on him, she had not noticed that he indeed was an angel, a fallen one. from his plump, chapped lips to his beautiful, closed eyes, taehee began to fall in love with joshua hong and all his beautiful flaws.

she gently released his arms from around her and sat up ever so slowly in order to not wake him. unfortunately, he noticed because he opened his eyes, pulled her back down to him swiftly and hugged her once more.

"stay with me."

"but i want some food!"

"but why didn't you eat the food i gave you yesterday?"

"i want fresh food; food cooked by you and not some takeout. besides, the only way to a girl's heart is through her stomach."

joshua stared at the girl and stood up immediately, leaving taehee lying on the cold metal floor of the cage. he sighed then mumbled,

"fine."

"yay!"

"the catch is, you gotta help me out with cooking, also we're going grocery shopping, so i'll just let you out for now. just don't do anything stupid and always stay close to me, ok?"

taehee grinned and nodded vigorously with the knowledge that she would be able to see the light of the day after a long time, and probably one last time before she gets locked up once again in this cold, lonely, cage.
