A Little Help?

I turn a little redder. I grip on to the tree, looking down.

I gulp. "E-Excuse me s-sir?" I ask shyly.

The man looked around for a moment, unsure if where the voice was coming from. A few seconds later, he looks up and jumps in suprise.

I bow repeatedly in apology. "I'm sorry, I d-didn't mean to scare y-you.." I'm redder than a tomato now.

The guy's eyes meet mine. Suddenly, he reacts in a way I didn't expect:

He smiled the most gentle smile I had ever seen.

"Enjoying the view?" He said softly, closing the book.

I nod. "Y-Yeah, It's gorgeous....b-but..."

He laughs heartily. "I'll help you down."

How did he know?!

My heart bursts. I loosen my grip a bit, making me loose my balance again. I squeak in fear and grab the tree again.

"It's ok....don't worry. I give you my word that I'll catch you."

I hesistate before swallowing a lump in my throat. "P-Promise?"

He nods.

I close my eyes and let go, a yelp escaping my lips, but I never hit the ground.

I open them to find him holding me. He turns a little red himself.

He sets me down and bows. "Hehehe.....sorry about that."

I smile. "Nothing to be sorry about. You just saved me!!"

"My name's Suho." He gazes at me with the face of an angel. "As a reward for saving you....do you mind if we keep in touch?"

I nod, blushing a little. We exchange numbers, and before I can thank him more, he runs off.
