8:00 am
Jisoo's eyes flung open. The strong manly cent made her stomach twist as she scanned her surroundings. She was in taehyung's bed. Wrapped up in his sheets.
"I.. " she whispered to herself and immediately got up. Her eyes laid on him, standing by the door.
She clung onto the bed covers close to her chest and stared at him. "major I- I- when did I fall asleep? "she asked.
"right when I left. Maybe you were that tired. " he spoke and a small smile graced his lips. She looked at him in confusion and he assumed he should leave. Or at least give her some time to go to her room without feeling awkward.
"wait! where are you going?" she almost shouted. Almost.
The desperation in her voice made taehyung turn around to look at her and she immediately cleared her throat, "i-i mean this is your room. I should be the one leaving. Specially Now. " she spoke, hesitating now.
He didn't say a word. Nothing came out, instead he just nodded slightly and stood there quietly as if he just waited for her to come to him.
She arose from his bed. Hair messed up, face a bit swollen from sleep and the shirt clung to her curves. The mere sight of her made a desire move through him. A desire that could lull him and as soon as she passed by him, his hand involuntarily reached for hers. His fingers immediately curled around her fragile ones.
"jisoo" he spoke softly. For the first time he addressed her by her name. And for the first time she felt like her identity existed. Her eyes looked at him in astonishment before they got locked with his finally. Her heartbeat grew and her mouth went dry. It wasn't something that she had felt before. A man so powerful and tough yet his touch so soft and warm. It was rarer almost impossible to her. A simple nod was all she could manage to give. She might have drawn her hand away and he might have let her but she didn't.. she didn't want to be deprived of whatever she was feeling at the moment. Taehyung felt a flare of desire as he brought her hand up and pressed his lips to the centre of her palm. Her legs all of the sudden felt like fluid. This was a feeling she was still foreign to. She had been touched, kissed, strangled in a thousand ways before but this.. This feeling ..she had never felt before.
"I hope you forgive me. "

July 28th- 1945
The sky was as clear as glass. Jisoo rubbed the sleep away from her eyes as her feet hit the cold wooden floor. She lazily got up and stretched her arms, yawning. The morning was colder than usual. She thought.
She lazily walked towards the window that was all covered up with fog as she brought her hand up to draw a pattern on it, she felt a frozen jolt down her spine. Her palm stretched open and her gaze didn't move from it. The kiss.. His subtle kiss on her palm made her heart skip a beat.
The sudden knock on the door made jisoo dither as she hastily moved away from the window. "y-yes? " she asked.
The door opened and taehyung stood there with his arms now folded behind his back. She gulped.
"how are you feeling now? "he asked in a tone that almost sounded as smooth as velvet and as raspy as a berry.
"b-better. " she stuttered. "and how are you? "she blurted almost in another breath.
"alot better than how I have been feeling lately. " he smiled, almost so lightly that it's barely seen. For almost a few seconds, there lingered nothing but silence mixed with thick tension that none of them knew how to ease.
Was there something that had changed about the way she looked at him? About the way she thought of him? About the way she felt for him? Something has changed.. Something has definitely changed. Jisoo had never experienced love.. She didn't know any better than the love she had seen in her mother's eyes when she'd stare at her with light in her eyes and her baba, who would bring her an egg tart every time he'd come back from work because she just loved them that much. Besides this, she'd never known love. Sure she and her friends talked about a knight in the shining armour at couple occasions and would secretly giggle about it, mentioning how beautiful he'd be just like any other minor do when they're 14 but she still didn't know any better.
Taehyung cleared his throat trying to ease some, "I'm going for a mission. " he finally spoke. Jisoo's eyes immediately locked with his. " what?" she asked with concern.
"we've been called in for duty. All of us. It's important. " he explained in little fragments. A frown appeared on her forhead.
"when? " she questioned. Her eyes on him, he stepped closer to her as a response to the desperation that was in her voice. .. almost so close that she had to look up to look at him. "soon."
She didn't move an inch away instead her heart started to race and she almost fainted in her thoughts.
"jisoo I -" he looked down at her. Eyes locked with her dark one's. His breath became heavy as he reached for her hands only to interwine his fingers with hers. She could feel his warm breath rubbing against her skin.
"I don't know when I'll be back. " he spoke. His gaze was still fixed on her, observing every nuance of expression on her face.
"major" she called out for him,standing in front of him and possibly the closest she had ever been to him.
"I know what your concern is. " he spoke. Their forheads almost touching, Jisoo suddenly gave him a blank look but despite she could involuntarily feel her eyes closing slowly.... seductively..
"I'll free-"
She hastily stepped back as soon as they both heard the door banging. Their grip loosened and he reached for the door, "stay inside and don't come out until I ask you to." Taehyung warned her and rushed towards the main door.

"major, the western planes have been seen spying near the camps, the lieutenant wants to see you immediately and we need to leave right now since we have no time to waste." explained the soilder.
