‘I’m such an idiot, what did I even expect?’ thought Sunny as she let out a tiny sigh. She starred at the man’s broad back and felt anger rise up in herself as she thought of her stupid actions. At least half an hour has passed since she departed on her adventure with Kris as the lead. ‘Is this what he does during lunch? No wonder he doesn’t have friends’ thought Sunny, annoyed as she struggled to dodge the tiny branches beneath her feet. If she knew her way back, she would have been long gone, but she could hardly navigate through campus, let alone this vast forest. Sighing once again, she continued to follow the mysterious man.

As the minutes passed, Sunny felt less and less interested and soon found herself walking mindlessly a few paces behind the seemingly unaware man. However, she was quickly pulled out of her trance by the sound of a large branch cracking underneath her delicate foot. Before she could try to hide behind a tree or blend into the ground, Kris’s confused eyes fell onto her. “What are you doing?” he asked, his voice deep and manly. Sunny felt a cold shiver run down her spine as her eyes met his.

It seemed as if the cold atmosphere shut her lips together as she was unable to utter a single word. Her cheeks flushed a deep red color as she struggled to find a way out of her current situation. Her eyes grew wide as she watched him take large steps towards her until he was towering over her petite body. “I asked you a question,” he said. Sunny expected his voice to be full of roughness and arrogance, but instead it was as if he was simply curious. Slowly, she felt her heart settle as she struggled to take her eyes away from Kris’s.

“I-I was just...I saw...I don’t know,” said Sunny as she tapped her fingers together nervously. A soft smile grew onto the monstrously tall man as he continued to walk. Sunny stood there, a shocked expression on her delicate face. She knew her thoughts were inappropriate to such a situation, but she couldn’t help but notice how wonderfully bright his face became after he smiled. And it wasn’t even a full smile, just imagine how beautiful his face would be if he smiled completely.

He stopped after taking a few steps and turned to face the small girl. “Well, aren’t you coming?” he asked as he motioned for her to follow him. Before she could think, she found herself moving as if entranced. She followed close behind for a few more minutes until they reached a large tree. Sunny gasped at its immense size and lengthy branches. It seemed as if it was built, branch by branch, it looked sturdy enough to withstand any sort of natural disaster. She watched Kris as he walked towards the lowest branch and took a seat. Despite his height and muscular structure, the tree didn’t bend the slightest bit at his sudden action.

“Are you just gonna stand there?” he asked as he patted the branch next to him. Sunny looked at him, confusion swimming through her thoughts as she obediently sat beside Kris. They sat there; silence filling the atmosphere as Sunny slowly found herself enjoying the situation more and more. Her curiosity grew with every second and the questions kept pilling up; however, she simply didn’t have the courage to say a thing. She was sure the lunch period was over, but learning more about Kris seemed more important than class at the moment. Her feet ached from walking on such ragged paths for as long as they did, but the strange sweetness in her heart overpowered any sort of pain she could ever feel.

“I’m Kris,” he said as he turned his attention towards Sunny. Quickly, she whipped her head towards him and spat out whatever words were ready.

“Sunny I am. I-I mean...I am Sunny. I’m Sunny,” she said as she looked towards her shoes, her face turning a deep shade of red.

“Sunny, why were you following me?” he asked, his voice soft yet manly at the same time. Quickly, she looked back into his eyes and mentally apologized for acting so strange.

“I-I w-wanted to kn-know-“

“Are you okay?” he asked as he placed his hand on her arm. She felt her body melt into a frenzy of tingles as all of her energy focused on the spot where Kris touched her. Her heart sped up and sweat immediately formed on her milky white hands. ‘This is too much’ she thought as she slowly moved away from Kris. She remembered Jessica and TaeYeon’s warnings, but soon felt indifferent. He’s not dangerous at all. But then she remembered how rude he acted when they bumped into each other and felt her body regain its strength.

“I’m fine. And who’s to say I was following you? What if I just wanted to go for a walk and we just happened to bump into each other like this?” said Sunny as she quickly thought of something logical to say.

“If that’s so then it must have been fate for us to bump into each other. I wanted to ask you a few questions,” he said as he scooted towards Sunny, completely ignoring the fact that she initially moved away from him.

“Q-questions?” she asked, her strength slowly draining as she saw the corners of his lips raise once more.

“What are you? If you haven’t already guessed, I’m a wolf. I sort of imagined you as a fairy or one of those pure witches that work with healers,” said Kris as he cocked his head to the side and imagined Sunny working with a healer. Now that he thought about it, she was nothing like a witch, or a fairy.

“I um, don’t really know what I am. That’s why I’m in your class,” she said as she placed her hands in her lap.

“You don’t know?” echoed Kris as he turned his head towards the sky that peeked at them from beneath the leaves and branches of the forest. “Where are you from? I saw you eating something strange before I left the school. What was that?” he asked.

“Ice cream. It’s really yummy, but apparently people from here think it’s revolting. I’m from South Korea, have you ever been there?” she asked as she felt herself become more and more comfortable as they slowly became more and more comfortable.

“I’ve never heard of it. Ice cream or South Korea,” responded Kris as he looked at the side of Sunny’s face. He noticed the shape of her lips and couldn’t help but stare. They were so different compared to any other pair of lips he’d ever seen. He could easily imagine how soft they must have been. “You must not be used to the food here then,” said Kris as he turned his attention away from her lips and focused on her milky white legs. He wondered how a person could be so flawless, yet ordinary at the same time. His thoughts caused a strange feeling to rise in his stomach, something that made his eyes turn a light shade of hazel.

“I worry that I might starve myself to death before the week is over,” said Sunny jokingly; however, her desperation for proper food was evident in her voice.

“Well, what kinds of food do you like? Other than that cold cream,” said Kris as he tried to look casual.

“Hmm, chicken, samgyeopsal, jjajangmyeon, tteokbokki, and definitely some kimchi,” said Sunny. Her lips formed a wide smile as she tried not to drool over the thought of such delicious food. Unaware of Kris’s stare, she allowed herself to let out a sad sigh as she realized that the chances of her eating these foods anytime soon was 0%. Before Sunny could turn and start asking her questions, Kris quickly stood up and started to walk in the direction in which he came.

“Where are you going?” asked Sunny as she quickly grabbed her bag and followed after the confusing man.

“We have to go back don’t we?” he said, a teasing echo in his voice.

“You haven’t eaten,” said Sunny as she found herself comfortable walking beside the tall man.

“I was going to, but then you joined me,” he said as he continued to look forward. Confusion took over Sunny’s thoughts as she wondered why he couldn’t eat in front of her. And then it hit her. He was going to hunt. The thought filled Sunny with a queasiness as she imagined him eating the insides of an innocent little squirrel, blood and guts staining his white face. She shook her head of her thoughts and followed behind him just as he pulled out a bag of spiky, purple balls. “I wanted to ask you those questions before I ate, want some?” he asked as he pushed the bag towards Sunny.

She gave him a shocked look then immediately felt herself blush as she realized that he wasn’t as monstrous as she thought. ”Oh that’s right, you only eat human food,” he said as he let out a chuckle before bringing the bag closer to himself.
