Chapter fifteen
꽃 Flower“And then you rip this part off and tie this together,” I Instructed the boy, who followed my instructions obediently.
“Uhm, so…” I glanced over at the boy whose eyebrows were scrunched together with concentration as he tied the knots, “What…are you?”
The boy paused for a bit and he glanced up at me.
“What do you mean?” The boy blinked at me.
“I mean…are you a fairy? Or a…a spirit?” I glanced at him cautiously as the boy gave me a cute little grin.
“I’m the deer’s best friend!” The boy declared grandly, “My name is Luhan.”
“Luhan…” I nodded my head slowly, “Uhm…not Telekinesis?”
“You mean that awesome, cool, wonderful, handsome and super powerful spirit from Exo M?” Luhan cocked his head sideways, “Unfortunately, no.”
I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“You really admire Telekinesis, don’t you?” I asked Luhan as he let out a shocked expression.
“Admire Telekinesis? Of course not!” Luhan widened his already large enough eyes, “Although….he is a little bit cool.”
I smiled slightly, feeling much more at ease after assuring that Luhan isn’t Telekinesis. After all, a cute and bubbly guy like him couldn’t possibly be one of the deadly Exo M spirits right?
“There! I’m done!” Luhan announced as he held up the shirt that he had just finished making out of the hanbok, and I smiled as I saw that it was nicely made.
“Wow, you’re good at this,” I complimented him as I also finished the pants, and taking the top from Luhan, I cleared my throat awkwardly as I stood up, feeling extremely conscious of my exposed legs.
“Uhm, thank you for helping me,” I gave Luhan a short bow, “Goodbye.”
Although I said goodbye to him, I had a feeling that he would follow me anyway.
True to my thoughts, Luhan stood up as well and tagged along behind me.
I didn’t tell him to go away this time though, and after a few minutes of walking in silence, Luhan finally spoke.
“Hey, you’re an unknown right?”
I twisted my lips slightly. Just how does everyone know that I’m an unknown? Do I give off some different aura than the supernatural beings?
“Are you travelling alone?” Luhan continued to ask as I didn’t reply.
“…No.” I finally answered, “I’m travelling with…friends.”
“Oh…” Luhan let out a long drawl, “Can I follow you guys?”
Huh?
I halted in my steps and turned around to face Luhan.
“Why would you want to travel with me though?” I asked Luhan suspiciously, “I mean, you don’t even know me.”
“Of course I know you!” Luhan defended himself, “I thought we’ve already established the fact that we’re friends.”
“No, you said that you’re friends with deers.”
“Same thing.” Luhan snorted and he closed in the gap between us with one big step, tweaking my nose slightly before I could retaliate, “You’re a deer in my eyes.”
“I’m a what?” I blinked at Luhan. I had never been called a deer in my life before. Pretty? Yes. Gorgerous? Many times. Ugly? I’ve heard that a few times by jealous concubines, but a deer? Never.
“He was right,” Luhan gave me an affectionate look that sent Goosebumps running up my arms, “You are cute.”
He? Who’s he?
“Uhm…” I slowly took one step back and I glanced around myself, “I’ll be leaving now.”
And before Luhan could say anything else, or give me anymore weird looks, I dashed off as fast as I could, momentarily forgetting the pain in my ankle and back due to the urgency of getting away from Luhan.

Lay’s Pov
Soyoung stepped out from behind the bushes, timidly fidgeting onto the new attire she had just created from the hanbok.
“So?” Soyoung bit her lips, “Is it alright?”
I glanced at her once, and I couldn’t help but feel impressed as I could see Sehun’s agape mouth from the corner of my eyes.
