"Let's go higher baby,"
-haknyeon

Haknyeon waited out of Hyemi's class for her class to finish. Just as her teachers dismissed her, she walksd out. Haknyeon grabbed her wrist. Hyemi turned around, "huh?" He chuckled nervously.

°

"So why are you calling me out?" Hyemi asked and drank her smoothie, "Wow this is good what the fuck."

Haknyeon smiled, "I wanted to ask you for a favor actually!"

Hyemi pushed her chair in, "What is it?"

Haknyeon also pushed his chair in and whispered, "Can we go out on a date?"

Hyemi pushed her chair back, "That's a favor?"

"Well it can be," Haknyeon smirked.

"Where will you be taking me?" Hyemi asked.

"It's a secret~~" Haknyeon sang.

Haknyeon held onto Hyemi's waist from the back, preventing her from falling or tripping. "Where are you taking me again?" Hyemi asked. She had her pocket knife on her so regardless of where he took her, she would be able to defend herself.

"I said it's a secret." Haknyron replied sternly. They walked up steps together. She could tell they were stone steps.

"Haknyeon isn't this a bit too high?" She asked afraid. She wasn't so fond of heights.

"It is but you won't be getting hurt. I'm here, remember? I'll make sure you're safe." He replied calmly to reassure her. Hyemi bagan inhaling and exhaling, still going up the steps with Haknyeon.

"We're here Hyemi." Haknyeon said and took her blindfold off.

It was beautiful. From this sight, you could see the clouds wave over the flat lands. Flowers moved with the wind. The cherry blossoms flew in the air along with the birds. The chirps of the birds calmed her despite being thousands of feet up.

"Where are we?" Hyemi asked.

"I heard you liked nature. I wanted to show you the best view." Haknyeon chuckled.

Hyemi was in awe. She's never seen anything so beautiful. Her heart softened up, "this reminds me of this one time my mom took me to the park. Nobody was around. My grandma brought me fruits and we ste them. They were cold and sweet but the day was warm and bright." A smile grew on her face.

Haknyeon sat on a bench, admiring her. "Do you want fruits?" Hyemi turned around and faced Haknyeon. She nodded quickly. Haknyeon simply smiled and got up. "I'll go down the mountain to pick fruits."

Just as Haknyeon was about to leave, Hyemi grabbed his hand. "Actually, can I go with you? I can't stay so high up alone... I get paranoid easily."

Haknyeon nodded and held her hand. Hyemi's heart raced as she went down the steps. Haknyeon held her waist as he did in the start to prevent anything from happening to her.

"Be careful, there are pebbles here." Haknyeon pointed out. Hyemi didn't listen and tripped. Haknyeon pulled her toward him. She was going to drop down the steps if it weren't for him.

"I said be careful." Haknyeon said sternly, looking into her eyes. He didn't want to use his trick anymore, it didn't work on her. He knew he had to be kind and gentle with her rather rhan playing hard to get.

Hyemi cleared her throat and got off his arms, "Sorry.. I was just enjoying this a bit too much."

Haknyeon sighed and held onto her hand again, "Listen to me next time if you don't want to die from these steps." Hyemi nodded.

The rest of their day was filled with happiness, smiles, and their laughter. What made her happy, was that he wasn't the same person she met in the beginning. He was somewhat cold to her, he never asked to be friends, but now he was taking her out.

"Thank you, Haknyeon." Hyemi smiled. She gazed the night sky, laying on the grass.

Haknyeon was laying beside her. "For what? I didn't do anything." He chuckled.

"I really needed a getaway. This was what I needed." She closed her eyes and inhaled then exhaled.

Haknyeon unknowingly smiled. He liked her. She wasn't cold or heartless, it just took time to get into her heart. It took time to get to know her. She was different. He was falling for her.
