Your POV
I'm laying here on my bed , thinking about what I've done . I don't know who I've allowed into my home . But I lay here while a stranger sleeps only feet away from me . How did he get here ? The war is far . It all doesn't make sense , tomorrow I will get some answers .

I turn in my bed and stare at the wall. My mind racing , causing a night full of waking up and falling asleep , shifting and turning .

Once the light starts to shine through the windows , I accept the fact that I am not going to get any more sleep . I get up and get into some comfy clothes , throw my hair up and wash my face and brush my teeth .

All the while I'm thinking of a way to approach Taehyung . Or what questions I might ask . Finally I open my door and look down the hall only to see the door across still closed .

"Maybe he isn't up yet" I whisper to myself and continue walking . Before I can reach the top of the stairs the bathroom door opens and I'm standing in front of a large man wearing only a towel around his waist .

"Oh lord." I say as I stumble back . His hand grabs my arm , saving me from breaking my neck down the stairs . I instantly adjust myself and move to the side .

"I uhm hope you don't mind , I took a shower.."
he says grabbing the towel his was using to dry his hair and now wrapping his upper half. His wound from yesterday is clearly visible but it looks much better now since it's been cleaned .

"Oh no , that's fine . I uhm I'm going to make some coffee . Do you drink coffee?" I say fast losing my breath .

He nods and without hesitation I go down the stairs .

"Okay great I'll make some coffee then" I say trailing down the stairs . I hear a light chuckle behind me but I continue walking towards the kitchen .

I take a deep breath and hold the counter . Well my morning didn't exactly go as planned .

After making some coffee I begin to cook a small breakfast of eggs , potatoes , bacon , and pancakes .

As I'm lost in cooking and thinking I don't realize the other presence that's entered the room . I turn around ready to slide a pancake on a plate when I'm started by Taehyung standing by the table . I nearly throw the pancake to the roof .

"Jesus . You scared me!" I yelled . He just watched me with no expression and took a seat at the table . I served him and also took a place beside him .

"So I don't have work today , I figured we can go shopping for you ?"

He gave me a weird look and I continued . "Unless you would like to go alone but you have a less chance of getting ID if you're with me . I figured since you'll be staying for a bit , you should have some decent clothes" I smiled .

He looked down at the food in front of him . "Yeah I guess we can do that.." he said and began eating his food .

"Yeah." I said and just smiled looking down .

"Thank you." He said . I looked up and met his eyes .
"Uhm of course you're welcome" I replied looking back down at my plate .

We continued eating quietly and then once we finished I washed everything . He waited patiently at the table for me to be done .

I look at him and he seems lost in thought as he stares at his hands placed on the table in front of him .

"How's your wound?" I ask .

"It's fine ." Short response .

"Maybe I should just leave" he stands up . What?

"What do you mean ?" I ask .

Taehyung's pov
She's been washing the dishes for a minute now and I can't keep the negative thoughts Away that something will happen to her if I stay here . What if we do go out and a police officer decides to ID me just because I look korean . I've heard of how strict they are against us here , even the legalized Koreans.

"How's your wound?" She asks . Now standing in front of me .

"It's fine" I reply. It is actually fine . Just a little bit in pain.

Without any hesitation I let my mind speak for me. "Maybe I should leave" I stand up and I watch as her arms unfold from them being
crossed over her chest .

"What do you mean?" She asks taking a step towards me , her eyebrows are furrowed and she patiently waits for my answer .

"I-I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to you because of me" I say and look down at her . My height toppling hers .

"Taehyung..." God my name sounds so sweet coming from her lips. Wait what?

"It's okay . You'll be fine . I'll be fine. We will both be fine." She says quickly .

"How about we just stay in today then . Yeah I don't know what I was thinking anyways , you need rest . How about we just sit and get to know each other better . Yeah ?" She says . Her eyes glisten , as if she's begging for me to agree .

I nod as I give in to her . And she smiles warmly .
"Well let's go sit on the couch and make ourselves more comfortable" she says and she begins walking to the couches .

I smile to myself and get up , walking towards the couch that's to the side of the one she's now scrunched up on . I sit down and look at her , waiting for her to say something or anything . Even if she doesn't say anything I don't mind . I could watch her sit there and just look at me or even look around all day . She's beautiful , a little naive but she's beautiful . Inside & out . I barely met her yesterday but I can't deny that her kindness is reaching a certain soft spot in me .

"Sooo.." She says and I quickly zone in back to her .

"How about you ask me a question about myself and then I'll ask one about you" she suggests .

"Alright. Well you go first"

"Hmm fine." She says and she begins humming and looking around as if she's trying to find something to ask me . Even though I know she's probably got a hundred questions to ask , just as I do . Oh , man . Here we go .
