"Why? Why are you worried for me?" She was right! Why was he worried about her? She was no one to him. Right?

"O-of course i was worried, i am a civilized citizen of this country.....a-and....responsible too! I would be worried about a girl who is in deep trouble" Was that convincing?? He asked himself nervously.

She laughed on his answer...she didn't know herself but him being there gave her heart an unusual feeling....what is that feeling?

"Okay, Mr. Responsible; i am fine now.....so....." She glanced at his hands which were still on her cheeks.....although they were warm and assuring but....still he is a stranger to me she thought.

He immediately pulled his hand back realising the fact she stated through her eyes.
And also moved a little back noticing the closeness between their bodies.

"Hmmmm...soooo....what is so important in that purse that you ran all the way here in this unknown city risking your life?" He couldn't help but ask this question which was  haunting him from last few minutes.

"Got here any problem, kids?"

Before she could answer, an unknown, demanding and raspy voice spoke behind heena. Damn...tae cursed mentally.

Heena made an about turn and saw those men from earlier but this time she was not at all looking at them from hopeful eyes. My hope is standing behind me....

No! Please! Undo it!

"Nothing we were just chatting a bit" taehyung said, sounding all calm but inside he was a little scared.

"Oh!!!" All of the 5 exclaimed while looking at each other with a smirk.

"Seems like we got our pray"

"After a long time..."

"Its rare to see outsiders here"

"Boss will be happy"

"I am looking forward for that girl"

At this statement taehyung's mind alarmed him DANGER. He quickly caught heena's wrist firmly, causing her to snap her head beside her towards him...where she saw his face all serious.

"Prepare your legs....at the count of three" he whispered  without looking at her.

She was confused...what is he planning?

"Yah kids, come here" those people put a step forward.

"One" he whispered again

"Dont be scared" they mocked him

"Two"

"We have a deal for you" another step forward.

"We are not interested" he shouted to them and muttered to heena "three...
.

.

RUN"

He pulled her backwards with all force making exit from other side of alley while running and draging her along with him.

"CATCH THEM" those people shouted and ran behind them.

Heena was completely confused. What was happening in her life? Only thing she knew was that he was holding her hand; she was running wherever he was dragging her.

She was a little exhausted from her earlier running session. Left turn; right turn; one road to another; one alley to another; she didn't know where he was taking her. No specific path; no specific destination just dragging his legs wherever his eyes saw a path.

One thing was still bothering her. What did they do so wrong that now they were running? She was so innocent that she could not see the men running behind them were actually devils. (A/n: then why did you mock my poor tae😯)

"But...why are...we...running???" She panted heavily.

"Stop complaining!!!" He shouted.

His grip on her hand getting tight with every second.

"Just...RUN!!!"
