"You ready?" Namjoon asks.

"Yes," I breathe, "I'm just a little scared of heights."

"It's okay," smiles Namjoon, "You can hold my hand if you want."

"Thank you," I accept his offer.

As the helicopter begins to ascend, my grip on Namjoon's hand gets tighter. 

"Yuna-" Namjoon yelps, "Don't crush my hand."

"I'm sorry," I reply with a look of regret.

"It's okay. Just calm down. Nothing will happen." Namjoon smiles.

I nod at him as I look outside to see the dry desert below me. No matter how much I hated these deserts, I loved my job too much to let it discourage me. I had started out studying and analysing data from other people. Now I was here, collecting them myself and trying to unravel mysteries. I was so lucky to meet Jin, Namjoon and Hoseok. They were always there for me. I looked at Hoseok smiling excitedly and realised I had reached the spot.

I was nervous.

"Namjoon," I said, "I'm nervous."

"Why? It's just another pyramid." He replied.

"I know," I sighed, "I don't know..."

"It's okay," he took your hand in his, "We're all here."

I smiled at him. 

"C'mon love birds. You can do staring later. We've got set up to do!" Jin screamed.

Namjoon and I blushed.

Namjoon and I, both liked each other but decided to stay friends till both of us were steady and stable in the archaeology field. But that didn't hold back Jin from teasing us both. 

"See you later," I meekly said and ran towards Jin.

"So, which blanket do you want?" Hoseok asks, "Red or black?"

"Black, please," I reply.

"Here," he hands the black neatly folded blanket to me.

It was night right now. The team and I took all afternoon and evening to set up the camp. It was really hard under the scorching sun. Moving heavy objects, setting the tents, setting up fences so that robbers or bandits wouldn't sneak in and steal, etc. I had to join in to help them since we needed to get it set up before the night fell.

"Hey," he said from behind.

"Who-", I clutched my heart, "Oh my God, Taehyung, you really need to stop doing that."

"Sorry," he gave me a boxy smile.

"You don't want me to die. Do you?" I asked smiling at him.

"No!" he exclaimed, "Of course not."

"Then stop doing that," I smiled but soon realized, "Taehyung! Oh my, someone will see you. Hide." 

"No," he laughed, "I'm disguised with a cloth. See." 

"I'm still worried," I pout.

"It's okay, darling. No one will see me." he smiled at me, "Let's go."

"Where?" I raised my eyebrow.

"To the east market," he pointed to the road which takes us there.

"But the east market is for the rich," I replied.

"I am rich." He smirks.

"No one here knows that," I replied with a smirk.

"They don't need to," he smiled, "Or does my darling want everyone here to know that?"

"NO!" I screamed.

I apologised to people around us who looked at me like I was crazy.

"Haha, then come on." He tugged my sleeves.

"Okay," I smiled clinging onto his arms.

"What do you want, dear?" He asked.

"Nothing. I already got my groceries from the peasant market." I smiled in satisfaction as I looked at my bag filled with various vegetables.

"I wasn't asking about groceries." He replied.

"Oh, I don't want anything," I said.

"But I want to buy my dear something." He whined.

"That's not required, Taehyung," I said sternly.

"Can I buy you a gift?" He asked.

"No," I sighed turning around, "I don't need anything."

"I'm buying you a gift." He pulled me to a jewellery shop.

"Which one do you like?" He asked me.

"I don't know... You choose." I answered giving in.

"You like watching the stars, don't you? I'll buy you that chain with a star locket," He pointed at the chain hanging on a hook.

"That's very beautiful," I smiled.

"Give me this." He took the chain off the hook and gave it to the shopkeeper.

"5 silver coins." The shopkeeper said.

Taehyung paid for the chain and pulled me away from the shop into an alley between two shops.

"Taehyung what-" I was cut off by him smashing his lips onto mine.

I unknowingly put my hands on his shoulders. He deepens the kiss as he takes the chain out from his pocket, puts it around my neck and clicks the chain in place. 

He pulled away panting, "I love you so much."

"I love you too." I pecked his lips again.

He smiled at me and pushed a few strands of hair behind my ear.

"Dear," he said.

I hummed.

"Will you leave me?"

I widened my eyes at his question.

"Never! Why are you asking? Do you think I'll leave you?" I asked softly.

"I'm just scared." He sighed.

"Well, don't be." I kissed his forehead.

I gasped getting up. What the hell was that? Who was that in my dream? And why was I in an old market with a guy I didn't know? And most importantly, why did I kiss him-

It was probably because I watch too much k-drama. I laughed it off.
