that hug lasted for a brief minute, and the rest they spent their day full of smiles and laughter.

taehyung surely made the most of his time, not wasting any second on cherishing the moment. he's not afraid to die but to leave without her sure is painful for her.

taehyung realized that he fell for the girl, only even when they met not too long ago. and it's hard for his part.

there is no basis for a forbidden love between a human and a mystical creature. only fate draw the lines and only fate can bring two opposites together.

in their case, they are brought together by fate, and for a short span taehyung has lived in the human world, he found her, and he was more than thankful.

their laughter interrupted by a call, from namjoon. taehyung already knew it is a serious matter, and didn't bother himself for excusing to take the call. lisa should also know what's going to happen.

"i'm at Lisa's pad, hyung. okay, I'll text you the address." not too long when the other line hung up.

"is it okay if namjoon-hyung will drop by?" lisa nodded.

"what's the matter? you seem to be troubled." lisa asked her and he mustered a smile.

"nothing." he tried to convince her but his eyes tell something otherwise.

"you're hiding something, taehyung." she's suspicious. she's his friend, and he can share anything with her. she frowned.

"i'm not." she raised her eyebrow.

"i'm your friend, you can tell me anything." she told her once. friend, the word rung through his mind. well, you are more than that.

"okay, fine. i'll tell you." he gave up and that made her smile.

"only! if i could get a kiss." she pouted. well, maybe it was a bad move, as he thought. or so, when he felt feather a feather-like something touched his flawless cheeks. at first he was stunned by what lisa did, but for sure it brought smile to his lips.

for sure the woman eyes show how she's taken a back at what she did. flustered, his face slowly invaded by red until her ears. as instinct, she cover her face with both of her hands, bringing her knees to her and buried her face in between.

taehyung chuckled and before he could remove her hands covering her very flustered and shy face, with an eye peeking between her fingers, she said, "dont!" her voice raised a bit, "i'm sorry." and the following is like a whisper.

"no," taehyung laughed at her, at how cute she is. "i won't tease you." still laughing at the shy girl, lisa slowly then removed her hands away from her face.

taehyung then laughed again and she frowned. "stop laughing." she threw a pillow on him and then laughed with him because of what she did.

their laughter was once again interrupted by a door bell.

they both stood up as they were expecting the man on the phone call before.

revealed by the door, they were greeted by a namjoon in a disheveled state. eyes full of worry and concern and sadness and urgency. everything, lisa told them to take a seat so they could tackle what seems to be as an emergency while she offered to get her teacher a glass of water.

when he finished drinking, she thanked the girl. the calm face then turned into a troubled one again.

he faced taehyung with the same emotions he had before. "we have no time." taehyung gulped. he should be expecting it.

"they found out." he said with a heavy heart. "yoongi has been captured now, and jin, my good friend there told me everything." he explained.

"remember when yoongi covered for us?" taehyung nodded. "there is another insider i one of my colleagues and they blew yoongi's cover. now they found out i'm hiding you. good thing you are not there. they are searching everywhere now." taehyung couldn't process everything. all he knew is that if he doesn't surrender, everyone associated with her will be endangered— and that included lisa.

"he- he can stay here. we can hide him in the basement sir. no one knows he's here." lisa suggested.  she's sure she should help him, help them.

"but what about you?" she asked her teacher.

"yoongi is imprisoned, i might as well be imprisoned too. i am willing to risk it all just to save you, taehyung." the man is sincere. he kept his words ever since the death of taehyung's younger brother.

he scanned the windows and found one of the workers in his company conducting the search. he doesn't have enough time.

"I've been followed. lisa, thank you so much for offering a help. i didn't mean to bring harm to you but i dont have much any time left right now."

now that he has finally a few steps in fulfilling his promise, he knew he should not turn back, even if he is on the brink of dear life.

namjoon left the door quickly before the man who's searching for him and taehyung found him. but he was too late.

they are everywhere, undercovered.

lisa knew the situation is getting worse so he grabbed taehyung and led him towards the basement.

taehyung's eyes, for the last time, met namjoon's. the man who took care of him.

he smiled to him, softly, for the last time before a gun shot was heard. all he remembered was his constant screaming, lisa dragging him to hide, and namjoon who kneeled on the ground, blood rushing out his wounded leg.
