You & I.
We're riding Harley's in Hawaii.
I'm on the back I'm holding tight.
Want you to take me for a ride...
-Harley's in Hawaii-
The door opened with a thud making me jolt up into a sitting position. Taehyung look around hastily and when he spot me on the bed he break into a small guilty smile that's barely there. I remain stoic as possible. He can't expect me to smile back at him. I look at him with a questioning look. He look away shyly for some reason and my eyes widen.
This better not be some creepy reason. I find my voice and ask carefully not trying to trigger him. "What?" His eyes find mine and he come forward to the bed and then I notice he have something in his hand. It was a shopper stuffed with something. He kept it on the bed all the way looking at me with a shy smile.
I look up to see him already staring, that's creeping me out for what he's about to say. I have a gut feeling this is not good. "I found some clothes for you...so.."
"Oh!" That was the only thing I could blurt out but why he so so shy about it and all. Just give me clothes and get the hell out. I nod expecting him to get out of the room but he is glued to where he is standing crooked. I gulp and said. "Ok!" He doesn't budge, I was so awkward knowing he is staring at my dirty face.
"Can you leave?" I said more like I asked him and he frantically stuttered for the first time. "Oh yeah..yeah...I..was..just...! With that he barged out just like that and closed the door behind. I stood up and went to the shopper bag and ripped it open only to find out some clothes, the clothes were decent but it looked old and a bit dull but it was still heaven to wear instead of what I'm wearing.
I ruffle the clothes and found a tiny soap and bottle of shampoo. Cute-shut up... I shake my head and my jaw dropped to the earth and beneath the hells under it when my hands picked up the small piece of cloth.
What the heck!!! That's the reason he was blushing? He got me undergarments *blushes* snap out of it bitch you better not find this adorable. My lips stretch into a sad smile when I remember something. I sit on the bed with the undergarments in my hand. What is with these men playing with women garments.
Jungkook. He also gave me the same blush when I discovered he had washed up my undergarments. Where is he? Did he forgot about me so soon? He said he'll take care of me! I sigh and took a pair of brown straight trousers that looks thick and casual with a cream color cardigan and a white turtle neck shirt.
Picking up the soap and shampoo, I went to the washroom and get in the shower, I run my fingers in my dirty muddy hair as the hot warm water burn my skin but it feels so good, it takes my worry away from me. Just me and myself. No thoughts no worries.
Slipping into the clothes, I figured it's almost my size but a bit loose that gives perfect sync to the outfit. I never styled like this. It looks so decent and classy. I come out of the washroom and literally stumbled when I saw him standing close to the bed. He turn around with a smile but his face fall when he saw the outfit.
I couldn't move because of his gaze pinning me down, something about the way he looks at me feels so unlike of his behavior. He looks as if he want to break down by the way his lips are tugged down with a frown on it. Ofcourse I look ugly. He takes a step while I take one back. He halt looking up and stops, my gaze drop down from his wild eyes.
I can't get over the way his eyes are so cruel and so frightening rather his looks that is so comforting and soft. His voice send a shiver through my body, it's not friendly, it's intimidating. "I'm taking you out..." he said as my head shot up with a big smile on my face.
His eyes widen at my smile as he soften his eyes. "Are you letting me go..?" I ask not containing my curiosity and happiness. But he had to take that away too as he chuckle lightly, cruelly in mockery. My smile shrink and his chuckles died down. He takes big and steady steps towards me making my knees go weak while I notice a towel in his hand.
He raises the towel and put it on my hair as he slowly try to dry it, his eyes fixed on my head while mine on him. His jaw and neck straight right in front of my face and I unintentionally tiptoe to sniff him and he froze. I close my eyes at the fresh smell as if he had bathed too. What was this about? Where is he taking me? Is this a way to play with me, to show me what freedom looks like and then cage me at the end?
When I open my eyes, I found him staring into mine sharply with dark eyes, his hand still drying my wet knotted hair. "Do that again!" He said more like a command and I squint in confusion. What did I do?
Upon not getting an answer but my confusion, he let the towel drop from his hand and hover over my cheek just right and I suck in a sharp breath making him look at me with fascination. "You look like a doll...!" He said as if his eyes were hypnotized by my sight. Hey boi, don't lie. I'm ugly asf don't make me blush for no reason.
I don't respond, I was way too busy admiring his jaw mentally drooling over it. He could cut my neck with his jaw and I'd say Thankyou.
It's like he's caught me in a trance and I'm no longer remembering anything he did to me. I see the innocent boy in him I want to see. To adore and to make him my friend. Get him on my side, lock him forever and never let his Yin take over him ever again.
He simply tuck one strand of the hair out of my face behind my ear, his finger touching my cheek and ear as he does so creating a burning sensation as all the blood creep up to my face. I remember I've never been this close to any boy.
He left without any more words leaving me alone with this tingling sensation of his touch and the fights going in my head to the flips my stomach is taking. My lips part in realization. I let my guard down. I then realize I was pretty normal around him when I shouldn't. I didn't cried for the first time.
I'm going insane just like him. That's his influence, I'm getting numb to everything. I tried to remember the bad he's done to me but it feels like it doesn't matter. I panic wanting my tears to return, for my fear to return along with the hatred that fled away with one gentle touch of his finger.
Because only my fear, tears and anger would loathe him because my heart says otherwise. It's disgusting. I'm disgusted with myself. I sit on the bed and notice the hair brush, I pick it up and slowly combed my tangled hair.
What if it worsens? I don't want it to be! I want him to scare me not smile at me. I want to go home. I realize I've not been thinking of this house as a prison anymore. I close my eyes, what's wrong with me? Please god don't make every thing more hard for me than it already is.

I stare at the bike that looks like it worth my whole life! I recognize it in a blink of an eye. It's a Harley. I'm a big fan of it too but I don't have time for materialistic things anymore. I'm not chained anymore, I can run if I want to but I don't wanna end up again being dragged from south to west.
I flinch when Taehyung pass through my side, his leather jacket brushing against my arm. He's wearing fully black. Leather pants, high turtleneck shirt with black leather jacket. I bite my lip to divert my attention from his model figure. Why do people like him gets to have a full package beauty i wonder.
I was staring down to my boots, the one I used to wear to school. I got startled when he push something against my stomach, I look down to see a helmet. I take it not knowing what to do next. He sit on the bike adjusting himself while I stare at him. He turn his head to me and see that I'm still not wearing the helmet.
"Wear that..." I don't say anything and wear it while struggling to strap it. He motion for me to come forward. I do as he say and he takes the straps of the helmet, his cold hands lightly feathering on my throat and I wince and shut my eyes. It tickles. As he is done, he flick his fingers at me to sit behind him.
I look at the seat, then at him. I don't want to sit so close to him so I remain standing. He bite his inner cheek in annoyance and I don't think twice and jump behind him without making him more annoyed. He smirk as he revved the engine and I squeal almost loudly. I hold the metal bar behind my seat to steady myself.
Then in a flash of a second, the bike rushes in the windy evening. I close my eyes from the fast motion of the surroundings as squeals of surprise leave my mouth whenever the bike bumps into a rock. The path wasn't clear but I was adamant to not hold him for support even if I fall down that'll be a more good option.
His black jet wavy hair were flying to the back because he wasn't wearing a helmet. I notice him slow down the speed and I calmed down as he came to a stop not until he turn around in anguish that took my breath away because he was staring angrily. I squirm in the seat uncomfortably. He doesn't say anything as he turn forward and take my hands and clasp it around his stomach.
Redness creep up to my cheeks but I'm thankful that my helmet is on. My hands were trembling with nervousness as he started riding again but this time in a tolerable speed or is it that I feel safe enough because I'm holding onto him? My mind drifts to his behavior. What exactly does he want from me? And what is this all, I'm terribly confused stuck with a sinful handsome killer.
I don't realize my hands had already curled around him making him close his eyes. I've scooted close to him because of the ride. I look at his broad shoulders and big back. Does it hurt to seek comfort? I'm desperate, I know my time on earth is not too much, I just know it I can feel it. It doesn't hurt to just live freely and not care what comes in the way?

The bike comes to a stop and Eliana doesn't take her head off his back, her cheek pressed against his shoulder, hands clasped around him. He look down to her small hands around his and smile warmly at the sight. He turn his head to see her on his shoulder, he slowly tap her head and she look up casually. "We've arrived!" He said slowly and she nod and take off her hand off him and jump off the bike immediately taking the warmth away from him.
He slowly get off too while she stare at the scenery infront of her. There is no sign of any beings nearby, only mountains, trees, a small lake and greenery. She had always wanted this kinda peace in her whole life. Her eyes tear up when she remember the time when their family went for a vacation in countryside.
Taehyung tap her shoulder and she flinch looking at him. "Where are we?" He smile and reply. "Somewhere where there is no other soul present." She gulp at the statement and look away from him. He's awkward and weird asf. First kidnapped her, then all the beatings, then healings and now...wait...what do we call this? She thought.
"Why did you bring me here?" The way his cheeks redden and he shyly look away with a hand on his lips hiding the smile, Eliana confusedly look at him for an answer. Why does he blush so much like a teenage boy? She wonder.
"I've brought you to a date...!" He said in one breath and look away hiding his face while her jaw dropped. That catches her off guard. Why would he bring her to a date and where is this place...
"Wh..why..yo..u...bri..ng...me..to...a..date?" She stutter while being flushed as she complete her sentence. He look back and the redness on his cheeks makes her blush too. Wtf? Is this some sort of prank he is pulling? She thought.
Before she could even utter anything out of her mouth, he grab her hand clasping it with his and drag her with him rather too fast. She stumble upon rocks and bumps as she follow him. Her mind is all fuzzy blur.
He takes her to somewhere and when he lift up a heavy branch and usher her under it. She gasp as she enter a new world. Everything is deafening as the sound of the waterfall was loud in the air. The air was humid and fresh with birds decorating the sky. The sky was a shade of pink and blue ready to turn dark.
Meanwhile he was admiring the big smile that was plastered on her face unintentionally. He follow close behind her as she near the edge of the mountain. His hand hovering over her back alerted if she decides to jump off the peak, he'll catch her. She turn around to see him peering down at her face.
"Why..?" He shake his head with a smile at her question, he open his palm for her hand and she hastily gave it to him making his smile to widen. He took her to the other side with her following him like a lost puppy. She look down at their intertwined hand and blush.
He stops abruptly and she look up to see a big basket on a sprawled picnic sheets on the grass. It looks so normal and pretty picnic date. She had never treated like this, she would be lying if he is not making her feel some type of way she'd never experienced before.
He was already taking off his boots and sitting on the sheet. She without having to be ordered remove her shoes and sit across him, knees hugging close to her chest. She look around the scenery and sigh. It feels good to be honest. She thought.
Meanwhile Taehyung was taking out some of the things he had prepared and spreading it in front of her. She look down to see a box of different flavors of donuts with a big bottle of juice. He smile shyly as she eye him. "Uhmm...I could only buy these...!" She look down to the contents and a heavy truck of emotions hit her. What's wrong with this? It's making me feel things. Her insides churn uncontrollably as tears break down her face.
He panic and move forward and cup her cheeks making her look up to him as he wipe her tears away with his thumb. More tears stroll down. "Don't cry please, not for today atleast?" She move his hands away and wipe the tears away herself. "Oh, I'm sorry I just got emotional...!"
He sit back down looking at her apologetically. She pick up a donut forcefully and bite on it, the sugary syrup on her taste buds making her relax as she close her eyes and chew on it while he smile softly.
He takes out paper cup and pour some juice for her and she takes it enjoying it even if it lasts for just today as he said. Maybe he feels sorry for her? He slowly take a donut and eat it silently both gazing up at the sky that's is becoming darker by the time.
"You wanna know why I kidnapped you?" Her head whip to him while he was looking at the sky. "Why?" He chuckle for sometime in disbelief before answering. "Because...you stole something from me!" Her eyes narrow at him in offense. "Excuse me sirrr??? I've never stolen in my whole life and you look too broke yourself for me to steal anything from you!" She huff out and realize she was literally shouting at this point. He look at her with soft eyes while his lips tug upwards in a delicate smile.
"You stole my heart, Elara!"
