Please take note that Lay is a Nature guy in this story. So the surrounding of his mansion was filled with Nature living things such as Trees, Flowers, etc.

“Wow “

Your mouth slightly gap and Lay smiled. He knew this place will take your breath away. The surrounding of where both of you were standing were all trees, giving you the feeling that you were standing in the middle of the woods.

The air around you was clear and fresh. The place felt reserved as if it was magical.

Lay turned to you and gestured you to sit on the grass. When he saw you hesitate for a moment, he smiled and sat down first to convince you that the grass was clean. “Come on, the grass is clean “He nodded encouragingly and reached out for your hand and gently pulled you down beside him.

“Why is your mansion packed with trees? “You shifted on your spot as Lay looked around the place. “Before this mansion was build, this place was actually a forest. “He shrugged and plugged the grass, then softly played with it.

“My dad reserved this part for me, so I can play here with my friends. “He looked up and met eyes with you. Then as he planned it, he flashed you his billion dollar smile. “You won’t get lost though, so don’t worry “He looked away again and hummed some tune.

You were sitting there awkwardly; you didn’t know what to say to Lay when you saw how weird he acted before with Luhan. As if there was something he was trying to hide.

“Hey “You turned to him and he smiled. “Wae “He glanced at you and then laid his back down on the grass. You looked over your shoulder and blinked at him. “Luhan and you fought? “

Without realizing what you were doing, you found yourself laid your back on the grass too. Both of your arms brushed together. It felt warm and lovely, but none made any comments.

Then finally, after the long pause, Lay answered you, “No “.

You blinked up at the trees and said, “then why are you bickering with each other just now? “It was not that you were being a busy body, but you were trying to find out what was going around you. You knew something was up, but you couldn’t put your finger on it.

“We love each other too much, I guess. “He cockily answered and turned his head to face you. “____? “

“Hmm “You turned to him and your eyes widened a bit. Because Lay was so close to you that you can felt his breath on your face. “Do you like Kris? “He breathed; his voice was seductive accompanied by those pair of eyes that penetrated into your soul.

Just that simple question made your face gone red, truthfully, you didn’t know if you liked Kris or not. Maybe it was just some crush because Kris was too gorgeous and hot - y sometimes too – so you couldn’t sort out your feelings.

And not to mention his teasing, that guy never stopped teasing and made rude remarks about you whenever you appeared nearby him. And to add on some more details, Kris made out with you before in the kitchen.

“No, he’s a jerk. “You turned away and bit your bottom lip. You hoped that Lay didn’t realize that you were blushing.

But Lay was smarter and quick witted. He knew instantly that you were blushing especially when the sun was shining above; which made your red cheeks even more provoking.

He didn’t say anything though; instead, he leaned in and planted a soft peck on your cheek. Your eyes widened instantly and you turned to him with your mouth opened. “W-why - “

“I want to go out on a date with you. “He said it without blinking his eyes, and his face was so serious that you couldn’t joke around. “B-but -“

Lay sighed and sat up. He didn’t turn to you when he cut you off. “I want to go out with you, is it that hard to say ‘yes’ to me? “His voice sounded hurt, and you felt guilty. Lay had been nice to you ever since you met him. Even though he didn’t talk to you often but you knew he was a nice person.

“Lay, it’s not that, I’m just – “Your voice trailed off and you stopped. You couldn’t find any reasons since you were not good at lying. Lay finally turned to you and gave you a soft smile, his cute dimple showed when he beamed. “Come on, it will be fun. “

You guiltily bit your bottom lip and sat up while resting your hands on your knees “Where are you going to bring me then? “

Lay smirked, and for the first time, he seemed happy. “I won’t tell you, because it’s a surprise. “He reached out his hand and gave you his rare smile again. “So, is that a yes? “He tilted his head aside to see you better.

A small smile slowly spread across your face, while chuckling, you nodded. “Yes and I’m looking forward for it. “

Lay didn’t leave you by the side alone for even a second; he stuck by your side like a magnet and was not planning to leave any time soon. Every now or then his shoulder will bumped onto yours, sometimes his shoulder brushed softly against yours and while sometimes, his shoulder just stayed there next to yours. Walking with him side by side the whole way didn’t made any goods either. You didn’t know why Lay stuck with you that closely, but at least he kept you safe.

He brought you down to his horse cottage and asked you for a help to feed his horses. “They won’t bite “He smiled, as if he knew something. But well, of course he does, these horses belonged to him anyways. “Unless you’re a monster, then they’ll bite “He urged you to take the bucket full of carrots and while him on the other hand took a bucket full of apples.

He led you to the stables and gently called out his horses. One by one stuck their heads out and peered at him. Some gave a loud noise; some gave out a snore, while some stared at the new guest beside their owner that was unlikely to be you.

“She’s a friend of mine “He a brown golden coloured horse and smiled at you softly.

If you didn’t heard it wrong, Lay seemed to name every of his horses using Chinese because one of the horses’ name was Wang Ti. Throughout the feeding session, you noticed that Lay only called them by their names, and he didn’t use any word like ‘it’ when he told you their histories; instead he appointed them as
