I had no idea how long I had been unconscious for, but when I finally woke up I wasn't in Jinyoung's arms anymore. Instead I was lying on a bed with a thin mattress and nothing but an itchy cloth covering me for a blanket. The air was freezing cutting through the blanket and into my bones, making me shiver.

"Jinyoung?" I called out, my voice echoing in the empty room with no response whatsoever. I started to feel cold all over, which had nothing to do with the room.

Jinyoung had tried to save me. He hid me under his jacket and tried to smuggle me away from the police. Tears started to fill my eyes as I thought of what could possibly happen. The police may have caught him and arrested him, and suspected him for being involved in my crimes even though he was innocent. Because of me Jinyoung might go to jail, and I may be in a jail cell right now for all I know.

"Jinyoung!" I cried out, tears spilling down my cheeks. I hugged my knees to my chest and started to cry.

"I'm here." I heard footsteps approaching me, and at that moment upon hearing the familiar voice I was so shocked with relief that all I could do was let him engulf me in his embrace. Instantly, I melted into the hug and enjoyed the warmth of his body heat and presence, which was comforting against the cold.

"Ssh... don't cry," he whispered, rocking me gently like a baby. I leaned against his shoulder and cried for a little more, mostly from relief that he wasn't gone.

"Are we in jail?" I asked once I had calmed myself down. My sobs had reduced to sniffs and I rubbed my nose, hoping that my crying face hadn't been to hedious.

"No we are not," he reassured me. "We are safe and sound. For now."

Jinyoung went on to explain what had happened: After fleeing from my apartment, he had taken me to a house that belonged to his old friend, which was the one we were in right now. Apparently his friend was now staying long term with his girlfriend so he could occupy the house as much as he wanted to.

I was shocked when he told me that it was very far from where I had lived. "You carried me all the way here on foot??!" I yelled, then instantly clamped my mouth shut, feeling paranoid that the police would hear us and come swooping in.

I could feel him shrug. "It's not like I can call a cab and give away our location right?" He said matter of factly.

"True but... you didn't have to carry me you know..." He chuckled at my bashfulness, making my face burn.

"It's okay baby, I don't mind at all." I swatted his arm at the use of a pet name.

"Don't call me that."

"Okay honey." I groaned, and he laughed, and placed his lips on mine again.

The kiss didn't last as long as I hoped it would. When he pulled away I felt him lift me up bridal style again, and in shock I let out a high pitched squeal.
