.......

Didn't I tell you to take me with

you if you're going out. It's late at night as well.

It's not safe

Yeah but I'm safe right now

I don't care. Tell me where you are so

I can come

I'm on my way back. I just went to

the convenience store.

Wait for me at the park

fine

I won't be too long

Taeyeon sighed and took the next turn in the street. As much as she wanted to go against the boy's words she knew that he would be worried to not find her where she was supposed to meet him.

She took the last bite of the cone and kicked her legs up to stand. Jaemin wasn't here yet so she walked towards the bin to throw her trash away. It was only a few steps away but that's when she saw a figure behind a corner building peeping towards her.

She felt anxiety rising in her. It wasn't confirmed if he was watching her but it didn't help that the area had no one around. She instantly regretted coming out alone. Why did she have to act all tough and come out.

She sat back on her swing and turned to see that the figure disappeared

Maybe I'm seeing things!

Taeyeon bent slightly back to check again if she was hallucinating. A scream left her lips when there was a tap on her shoulder.

"Are you ok? Why did you scream? Are you hurt?" Jaemin's worried eyes scanned her as he crouched down to the swings level.

"I screamed because you scared me," she pouted. Jaemin sighed in relief and grabbed her hand making their way back to the mansion.

"Why did you come out alone? It's past 11 pm and it's dangerous. What if something happened to you again"

"I'm sorry. I didn't want to disturb anyone and I just really wanted to get some ice cream". Jaemin halted from his strides and faced her with a frown. "Ice cream. Really?" he tilted his head unamused. He rubbed his face with his free hand. "You're really driving me crazy" he shook his head, shutting his eyes tight.

They both walked in silence but it wasn't awkward. She felt comfortable around the boy. Her footsteps trailed behind him. Only thing not separating them is their linked hands. Taeyeon's eyes didn't leave their connected hands. A small smile formed on her lips and her heart skipped a beat.

Her thoughts wandered off when she bumped into the boy at high steep when he unexpectedly stopped in his tracks. Taeyeon rubbed her now sore nose and peeked past his wide shoulders to see some teenage boys looking back at them.

Confused she furrowed her brows while looked at a Jaemin's face. His jaw tightened as he gritted his teeth, and he held the girl's hand tighter and pulled her behind his back.
