"Do I scare you, Soojin?" Yun Ki's voice booms amidst the crickets, breath fanning Soojin's lips.
An unsettled hammering silence takes over, between the girl who's heart throbbed at an insane rate and the man who'd cornered her, towering over her frame, chest plastered onto her own and heaving at the same rate at hers.
They were the same.
They were two dwindling flames, being drawn to one another, yet repelling each other at once.
They were the living embodiment of fire on fire, pure adulterated hatred versus uninhibited love.
Whoever touched them, wold be reduced to a crippling mess.
Such was the intensity between the two flames.
Soojin felt gutted and standing before Yun Ki was becoming increasingly difficult, by the minute.
What could she say?
Would it bring him peace if she told him how she truly felt?
"Y-You do." Soojin says, looking back at him.
Her fists are pinned to her sides and her arms are numb yet she knows the importance of holding her ground.
