"H-huh?" I spoke not sure of what he just said as a fake cough left his mouth making him adjust his voice

"I mean.. don't say things like that.." he spoke unsure to which i smiled nervously and bowed my head as a yes

"So.. umm.. should I walk you to your family?" He spoke

"No.. I can't go home till tomorrow morning..." I replied to which he just gasped and nodded

"So where do you wanna go?"
"Umm.. han river..?"
"What about the fair nearby?"
"Uhmm.. i want some peace so I prefer han river..."

I was embarrassed but the fact that his face showed shock Made me rather curious

"Uhh.. is something um wrong?" I blurted out making him nod his head as a no immediately

"It's just that my hyung says the exact excuse to visit han river"
"Oohh your hyung seems sweet!"

He bursted out laughing at my words soon controlling himself
"Hahah. Indeed he is" he continued,"Let's go now, shall we?"

"Ah ye" I spoke and stood up stucking my hand out in front of him to help him get up as well

He slowly lifted his head looking at my hand and slowly diverting the gaze towards my face with a cold expression plastered all over his face

When suddenly the realisation hit me like a truck

I pulled my arm back hesitantly
"Uh I-Im extremely sorry.. I f-forgot that we aren't allowed to touch the ro--"

I got cutted off as a loud gasp left my mouth

































































































He grabbed my shoulders taking the support for him to stand up

His face continuously leaning closer to mine as he gained balance over his two feet

My cheeks started flushing red as I immediately looked onto the ground

"Let's go!" He spoke making me look up straight into his eyes as I actively nodded

-

We both reached the river.. calmness and peace written on the atmosphere

It was.. heavenly.

We both sat down on the bank staring at the river in awe when he decided to speak

"So,.. what do you do for living?"
"It's quite unpleasant.."

I tried to resist his interrogation but he won't budge

"I really don't care you know!"
"Uhh.. promise me you won't tell the king"

"You can trust me."
"I uhh.. am a thief"

His eyes widened as he immediately stood up from there making me flinch hard

"I need to tell this to the king and get you beheaded!" He declared and started walking away

"Yaaaahhhhhhhh" I ran behind him and caught his arm resisting

I reached out to him and quickly grabbed his hand resisting him to go any further
