The flashback starts here.....

(4 years back)

It was Busan's high school dispersal time. *Dispersal bell rang.* All kids packed their bags and started dispersing from their classrooms and school. *Chaos sound* Focusing on a girl, "Y/n-ah!! Do you have plans tomorrow?" A guy approached asking to an 18 years old girl in her 12th Standard.

"Nope!!" You replied and continued walking with your friend. "Can we meet tomorrow? for our first date?" He asked following both of you as you moved your gaze to him.

"A date??" You asked arching your eyebrow. "Please give me a chance Y/n." He said pleadingly. You looked at your friend who signalled you to say yes. "I'll think about it." You said. "If it will be yes!! then I will wait for you at 'Mist Corner' near your house." He said before bidding you Goodbye.

You smiled awkwardly at him and continued walking with your friend in the streets. "Wow Y/n, you're so lucky. The richest and most handsome guy wants you to be his princess." Your friend said excitedly. "Shut up Yeji!! You know I'm not interested and I want to be Queen, not a f*cking princess." You said.

"Oh C'mon!! How long will you rant your parents' word? I know you're the princess of your dad only but look at other guys too." Your friend Yeji said. "Shut The Fuck Up now. It's enough." You replied rolling your eyes. Little did you know that someone is watching you from the bushes and following each and every step of you?

"Uh!! What's happening here?!!" Yeji asked gaining your attention to the front being shocked. You look in front of your eyes and ran towards the crowd. *crowd chaos* *yelling sound* "Stop here!! You are not allowed to go further." Cops settled in a line blocking the streets with the shield and large pillars carrying their batons in their hands and pushing people back.

"Excuse me, please!! What's happening here?" You asked going into the crowd. You made your way and stood in the front, trying to talk to the cops. "Sir!! what's going on? Can you please tell me?" You asked with a worried expression.

"I'm sorry girl. But you should stay away from here. Terrorist attack, Some terrorists are there in the city, we have blocked the city and it's under martial law. We can't allow anyone to enter the city, It's not safe. The orders came from the government." The Police officer explained in a hurry while pushing the people.

"What??" You freaked out. "I'm sorry sir!! But I need to go to my house." You said moving inside but stopped by the officer. "Haven't you listened? we said you can't enter the city, It's not safe." He said annoyed by all.

"But my mom is at home. I can't let her stay alone. It's not safe for her too. Let me go and save her." You said with boldness and tried to get inside but were pushed by the officer. "Special force is here, these Army officers will save her and all. Until then, stay here. It's dangerous to go into the city." He yelled at you. You were bold but still thinking about your mother who was in problem, your eyes got red with a little hint of tears.

"I f*cking don't care about anyone, let me go to my mom!! She is in danger." You yelled back. The police officer got angry and he raised his baton to hit you but stopped by a manly hand holding his wrist. "Stop!! you're not allowed to hit anyone." A man in a black hoodie, wearing a black mask, only showed his soft monolid eyes with a soft dripping-like shape which turned into crescent moon eyes when he glared at the police officer and got a little puffy when he spoke.

That time his eyes were dark staring deep towards the officer, daring him to touch you. He let go of his hand with a jolt and pulled your hand to him and made you follow him. "Let go of my hand, Who are you?" You yelled. His eyes were Fierce and he replied nothing to you. He pulled you into a hug, placing your hand on his hand covering you with his muscular arm, protecting you from the crowd and he made a way out of the crowd safely coming out of there with you.

You pushed him as you both came out, "Who are you?" You yelled. "Calm down. You can't go inside." He said calmly in a honey-like voice. You frowned, "But I want to go. My mom is there. No matter what it takes, I have to go." You said again going towards the crowd. He stopped your small figure, his one arm wrapping around your torso and hand on your waist.

"Hey!! Please stop!!" He said before pulling you back to his chest. He made you face him by turning your face towards him. "Don't be childish. Stop here please." He said with worried eyes and you looked into them staring deep into his soul. You felt yourself losing as your vision went blurry from the water-dwelling up in your eyes.

"My Eomma!! She's there. She's sick. I shouldn't let her stay alone. I shouldn't come to school today. I should've stayed with her." You cried palming your face, your voice came out shaky and cracked while he was still holding you by your arms. He immediately got worried seeing you crying like this.

"Hey!! Please don't cry!!" He said cocking his head downwards in your direction. He lifted your head up by moving your chin upwards with his forefinger. "Stop crying. I'll take you there, to your mom." He said wiping your tears with his thumb and cupping your face. He gave you a genuine and assuring smile while you look at him blankly.

Your eyes were puffy and your nose was red from all crying as he chuckled a little seeing your state. "Who are you?" You asked. "Follow me." He said ignoring your question and holding your hand and guiding you. "Can't you remove your mask?" You asked. "Only if you will stop questioning me." He said.

"Okay!! I won't ask anything again." You said as he removed his mask. You looked blankly at him, first, those eyes, and then his flawless, smooth and fair skin and then your eyes move to his lips, soft plump lips. Your lips parted in amazement seeing someone so beautiful, so handsome.

"Done staring? Shall we move now?" He said. You averted your gaze from him in nervousness as you follow his lead. "I still don't know you." You said. "I know, you don't know me." He replied. "So you know me by any chance?" You asked only to have no reply from him. He was looking for a way to get into the city.

"Have I seen you before? or you've seen me?" You asked. "Here you started again, what I have told you just before? and what you said? You forgot?" He said reminding you not to ask more questions. "Okay!!" You cocked your head in another direction.

He smiled. He looked behind him, towards the bushes, at some men, wearing black suits looking at him back. He signalled them to move from there by his eyes as they bowed and get him some space.

*A phone bell rang from the bushes.* "Yess sir!!" One man from those men, wearing a black suit spoke picking up the call.
"Where is he?" A voice of an old man came from the phone.
"Sir...!!" He hesitated to reply back. "I know where he is, just keep him safe. It's my order." The old man said from the phone.
"Yes SIR!!" The man replied before cutting off the phone.

He turned to other men saying, "Boss ordered us to keep their son safe, But Sir just went there to the girl and signalled us to stay here. What we are supposed to do?" The man in the black suit asked his mates. "Let's just wait here for the Sir to come back and one of us will follow him." They decided among themselves and they all agreed.

"How will you get a way to go inside?" You asked again only to be met by his eyes with so done look, "Oops Sorry!!" You realised that you were not supposed to ask questions. He continued looking for a way as he told you, "Okay so listen!! We can walk into this narrow alley, it seems like they don't know about it, after that it will be dangerous to go from the road, so turning to left there is a forest, large fields covered from all sides, we can walk safely from there." He explained still holding your hand like you are a little girl.

You listened to him but doubted his decision, but you nodded at last saying, "Okay!! But isn't it a long way to go? It's safe but it will take us a day to reach home. Just a second, Do you know my house?" You said realising that he is a stranger and doesn't suppose to know your house.

He became nervous, by your question but soon finding an excuse he said, "We will walk to your city. From there, you can go anywhere, to your house too. You can tell me where it is. I'll make sure to drop you there safely." He said. You nodded. "and yes!! It gonna take a day but Don't worry we will reach there as soon as possible." He assured you.

"Okay!! Thank you so much for helping m-" You were cut off by him, as he placed his palm to your mouth saying, "Shhh---- there are cops, Stay quiet." You hummed in his palm slightly nodding. He held your waist and took you to the side behind the wall before the alley. As the cops moved He held your wrist again and walked to the alley slowly not making any noise as you did the same.

You passed through the alley crossed the road and moved towards the bush, slightly entering there only meeting an area with grass on the ground and a little bit dense full of trees, It was another narrow way moving towards the forest. "Forest has animals and insects too!! Are you sure to go there?" You asked.

"Yeah!! I'm sure." He said moving some more bushes from his hand and holding your hand with his other hand. "I'm not a kid. Let go of my hand." you said. "hmm?" He looked at you. "Uh.. yeah!! sorry!" He said realising that you still don't know him and he is a stranger to you.

'I wish I could tell you. But let it go like this.' He thought seeing you. They again listened to police sirens as you were climbing over a rock and instantly crouched down as He too crouched hiding in a bush.

"The terrorists are hiding in someone's house. Lock your doors and windows, Don't let anyone enter your house. Special Forces are working. Stay safe at your place." They spoke into a microphone gaining everyone's attention. They both listened to it too in a faint but audible voice.

"What should we do? Eomma!!!" You said almost whining. "Shhh---" He signed you to stay quiet and not to make any noise. "Take every step carefully and follow me." He said standing up. You were still sitting and whining in pain, "Agh!! it's so heavy. I can't walk like this." You said indicating your backpack. He turned to you and gave you his hand.

"Get up!!" He said as you stood up, He took your school bag from you and carried it on his own shoulder. He held your hand again and started moving making you follow him. "I can carry it myself, please don't bother yourself this much." you said. "Shh----, not a single word. You want to go home right? So just stay quiet and follow me." He said calmly in an assuring tone.

'Why does he doing this much for me? I can't even ask him.' You thought following him.
