Chapter 37

                                    

                                          
The stranger held me with my back facing his front, even if my eyes are open I can't see his face. I was praying for my dear life and for Taehyung to come here quickly. What if this guy's a serial killer? What if he's going to slash me and sell me to the butcher, claiming me to be the best cow he has ever raised?
                          
Then, he slowly lowered his face to my ear and whispered ever so softly.
                          
"If you want to stay alive, keep quiet and don't scream at all. Don't make a single move, or I'll snap your head."
                          
Holy shit. It's confirmed. I have a serial killer wrapping his arms around me. Being the foolish girl I am, I quietly nodded. I swear even with my eyes closed, I could feel a tear rolling down my cheek against the palm of his hand.
                          
"Okay, good girl. Now, walk," He continued whispering.
                          
I followed his track as he walked me roughly, my feet brushing against the dirty pathway on the ground. I didn't dare at all to even muffle a sound because I've seen movies where the killer either snaps the victim's head or slash her throat with a knife in just one second. After a few minutes, the path suddenly felt softer like I was stepping onto grass instead of cobbled pathways.
                          
And then we stopped. Just as if god has answered my prayer, the kidnapper let go of his hands from me and stepped away. My feared self was ready to make a run for it and when I opened my eyes I—
                          
"Whoa," I gasped.
                          
I couldn't believe my eyes. Right in front of me, was a beautiful garden with fairy lights hanging around the tree branches. There was a few candles lit across the garden and in the middle of it was a beautiful water fountain. In front of the water fountain was a table for two.
                          
"This is a—" I said to myself in confusion just to have someone cut me off.
                          
"Candle light dinner?"
                          
I turned around and saw him standing a few steps away from me with his head tilted and a smile formed. 
                          
"Taehyung," I breathed out in surprise, "you made all this?"
                          
He nodded and I could see the spark in his eyes when the light from the candles fell upon his face.
                          
I laughed slowly at how silly I am, thinking that I was kidnapped by slenderman. 
                          
"You were really funny just now," He laughed at me as he took a step closed.
                          
"Don't blame me, you got me thinking that you're slenderman with your," I looked at him from head to toe, "long trench coat and black everything."
                          
"Oh, really?" He put an arm around my waist and pulled me closer.
                          
"And seriously? 'Don't make a move or I'll snap your head'?" I raised my eyebrows.
                          
"Hey, I gotta make it sound realistic."
                          
"Well, much to your disappointment it didn't sound that realistic," I rolled my eyes but the corner of my lips slowly curled up.
                          
"Are you sure? Cause it felt like you were trembling and praying for your dear life just now," He brushed a few strands of hair away from my face as he leaned in slowly, keeping that smirk on.
                          
"No, I wasn't." I couldn't help myself.
                          
"Oh, you totally were." His lips were already brushing against mine.
                          
"Maybe you're right," I slowly trailed off and closed my eyes, expecting him to kiss me.
                          
Instead, he chuckled and softly pecked my forehead. "Come, I've got a very special dinner prepared for you."
