That night Hana felt uneasy for some reason, tossing and turning in bed, she couldn't get to sleep even though she was tired. She decided maybe fresh air would help so getting up, she made her way out of her room, greeted by the bright moonlight and the peaceful creeks of the crickets. The air smelt somewhat sweet like chestnuts. Her tummy grumbled at that thought, realising that's maybe why she couldn't sleep, she was hungry.

Making her way through the house, through her many expeditions to the kitchen and dining area, she managed to get herself lost. She blamed it on the fact that the wooden traditional house looked far too similar with its hallways at night.

"Great." She mumbled to herself, attempting to turn around to back track, she realised that was probably the wrong way too. She groaned and kneeled down, ruffling her hair in frustration.

"Lost?"

She yelped and fell on her butt, eyes wide upon the source of the voice. Namjoon stood there, leaning against a wooden beam, his brown eyes shone with golden flecks in the dim lighting his grey tresses almost silver in the lighting of the moon.

"N-Namjoon, you scared me." She stuttered out attempting to get up but fell flat on her butt again as she slipped on her robes. How embarrassing. She could hear him sigh deeply before she knew it, she was lifted off the ground and into his arms, his face only mere inches from hers until he gently settled her back on the ground again.

"For a goddess, you sure are clumsy." His deep voice rumbled in his chest as he smirked at her. She could feel her cheeks heat up so she quickly turned away, luckily for her it was too dark to see the difference.

"So what are you doing up so late, goddess." He enquired and went back to leaning against the wooden beam with an amused smirk on his face.

"I uh— couldn't sleep." She muttered whilst looking away.

"And what exactly were you looking for wandering around?" He asked prodding further as if she was up to something.

"Nothing—! I just wanted a walk to take in the midnight air and then I got lost—" her explanation was going so well until a rather loud rumble came from her stomach. Not only did she fall upon herself earlier, this happened and she wanted to crawl in a hole and die.

Namjoon couldn't help but stifle a laughter watching as she literally didn't want to stay longer because of her embarrassment, she quickly turned around to leave.

"Come. I'll bring you to the kitchens, I'm hungry too."

She stopped in her tracks and immediately turned around, walking back to him. Her expression serious and blank like how it usually was refraining from looking back at him.

"Lead the way." She demanded and Namjoon couldn't help but smile to himself as he walked through the halls.

"You know goddess, you're a rather odd one." He noted while they walked.

"How so?" She looked up at him curious as he peered down at her.

"Well, for one, I thought you were just going to be some uptight, stuck up princess who would demand everything come to her but—" he paused for a moment and she watched as his expression grew soft. "I guess I was wrong. Anyway we're here. Also—"

He pointed just to the right of the kitchen at the end of the engawa.

"that's your room right there."

She wanted to smack her head in stupidity but Namjoon basically verbally did that noting the amused expression on his face. He walked forth into the kitchen with her following close behind, she watched as he rummaged through the pantry looking for something while she settled for the fruit she could find in the basket, once he was out of the pantry he quirked his eyebrow up at her, holding two packets of something in his hand.
