He drove to an expensive restraunt near by.

"Reservation by the name of Jeon Jungkook." He told the waiter in a cold voice.

"Right here sir." The waiter bowed and led us to our table. He handed us the menu and said he would back in a while.

My eyes went wide when I saw the price rates.

"Jungkook....isn't this a little too expensive?" I asked.

"Huh?

"This place....is kind of over priced?"

"Don't worry about it. I'll pay. Just choose" he winked.

"It's not about paying...."I pouted.

I get it he's all rich and shit but this wastage of money. People don't get to eat and here they are serving meals that we could have also had at any normal restraunt with reasonable prices may be.

I shake away the thought and keep the acting on. It was just normal dinner minus Jungkook's hand on my thigh and his smirks. It made me uncomfortable but I simply smiled at him to act as if I'm fine.

He started the conversations with business. My first thought at that was, 'what is this? Business dinner?'

Gradually he went to more casual topics while eating. The food was good as expected, yet I didn't quite agree with the prices.

"What next?" I asked as we got back into the car.

"You'll see." He grinned and started driving. Soon we left the city behind and be continued to drive..

"Jungkook what place are we going to?" I questioned while building up my guard. I regret not bringing any gadgets now. This can very well be a trap.

I still have the earring and nails though. I could always reach out to Jin in needed and he can track my scanner or phone.

The path was familiar though. Even if I hadn't come this way for past 3 years.

"Jungkook." I call out again since he ignored me the second time.

"Jeez Lyra. I'm not going to kidnap you or something" he chuckled.

As if.

My heart stopped when he parked. Not because I was fearing him. Because the place that he stopped had been a part of my childhood.

No. He can't be parking here. What game is he playing.

"Lyra?" I heard him call out, bringing me out of my trans.

"Is everything okay?"

"Y- Yeah." I said as I got out of the car with him.

"So this is surprise!" He exclaimed.

"I- Its beautiful." I said as I looked around. Memories coming back to life.

You must be confused. This was a place where I used to come to with my mother at night. It would be like escape from the tiring life. This place looked over the city and was good for observing the twinkling stars.

It was a place my parents used to come at first. Mom used to tell my stories about how she and dad would come here for some alone time.

I wanted to run away. Far away. The emotions were overwhelming me. But I could not bail out on Jungkook. Not when I've come so far.

"I know. I found this place a while ago....you're the first people I've brought here to be honest..." he said shyly.

Somehow that made me smile.

"That's so sweet." I smiled and looked around for a particular tree.

Ah. Just like how I remembered it.

I went close to the tree. It had a heart carved into the tree. Something my parents had made as a symbol for their love.

My feet automatically went towards that particular tree. With a smile and glossy eyes I touched it. After 3 freaking years.

"That's always been there. I don't know who made that but I'm sure they did it for someone they loved." I looked behind to see Jungkook smiling and the smile wasn't a usual one.

They held more.

Am I letting my emotions get out of hand or is this real?

They held something different. Something that couldn't be explained in words. A child's innocence, affection and somewhere curiosity. Maybe more than that.

"Oh? Oh...I see..."I smiled.

"Come here!" He took my hand in his, smiling like he was the happiest to live. Leading me to the car, he made me sit on the car with him. Laying down, he seemed to breath in the stars.

"I've always loved to see the stars up here...it's like an escape from all my problems. It soothes me." He said with his eyes closed.

He opened his eyes to look at his side, seeing me stare at him, he continued go stare back. Looking into my eyes as if he was accessing my soul-

No.

Deny that access.

Never let your enemy gain access to you.

His access will be denied all the time. Do not let him in. No.

I hurried broke the eye contact and looked up. My gaze instantly fell on the star constellation of Lyra.

"What are you looking at?" He asked.

"That..." I pointed at it.

"Lyra looking at Lyra. Nice." He chuckled while I too joined in so I can blend.

"You seem to know about stars...." I heard him say.

"Yeah I do..."

"Any specific reason?"

"My mother and I would often observe them together that's all." I shrugged.

He hummed in response. Then there was silence, a comfortable one though.

That's when I felt him intervene his fingers with him. My cheeks felt hot for some reason at thisbgesture on his.

It's nothing. You caught a cold or something maybe. Or fever. That's all.

What if...it's some kind of effect he is having? But at restraunt when he was touching my thigh I was fine....

But I'm so used to perverts touching my thigh during missions when I'm undercover...no one held my hand so warmly yet...

What the hell is wrong with you Haewon? You sound like the lead female character or some cringey kdrama. Shut up. Focus on work.

I shot him a smile before we decided it was getting late.

He dropped me home after that and I couldn't be happier.
