Why are you being so nice to me?

"You!" shouted Ana full of anger, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then sighed in annoyance as if throwing away all unstoppable emotions.

"Can you speak more politely?!" said Ana looking at Peter sharply.

"So why are you here Little Miss?" said Peter ignoring Ana's words which were full of warnings.

"I should be the one asking, what are you doing here? Why are you hurt? What kind of creature are you? You're definitely not human right?"

Ana asking as many questions as she can ask to Peter, her stubbornness and anger at Peter's impoliteness makes Ana lose control.

"You have so many questions." said Peter raising an eyebrow.

"Indeed! So you must answer my question first because here the most suspicious is you." said Ana looking at Peter sharply, a little unreasonable indeed what she said, but in Ana's dictionary there is no word surrender.

"A pushy girl." said Peter with a sigh.

Ana remained silent, refusing to speak to the boy in front of her again before he answered the questions the girl had asked him.

Peter looked at the girl in front of him as if he saw an idiot who was selfish and annoying but somehow he couldn't hate this little girl in front of him, this contradiction was a little frustrating but somehow he found it a little fun.

In the end, Peter also chose to remain silent. Neither sound nor any words were heard after that, in the forest colored with autumn with reddish yellow dry leaves, two children were standing staring at each other without any intention of speaking.

The five minutes of this silent battle between the two humans who looked at each other with bored faces went on, there was no sign of the two giving up and starting a proper conversation.

10 minutes passed...

Silence...

20 minutes passed...

Still no one spoke....

30 mins later...

Ana has started to look impatient with this silent war, while Peter still faithfully shows his calm face without any problems at all.

It's only natural for a woman like Ana that over time she will definitely not stand the silence that could kill a person, she's normally not mute and if they don't start a conversation, she won't be able to get out of this forest and go home.

Haah~

Ana sighed heavily, she really didn't want to admit defeat, basically in Ana's dictionary there is no word defeat or surrender, because she was pampered since childhood. .

"So what's your name?" asked Ana at last opened the conversation.

Okay, okay. This time Ana admits defeat. The first thing she said was asking the name of the boy in front of her, this has been bothering Ana since the beginning of their meeting this time, they can't always call each other with the word you.

Peter smiled lightly without realizing it, he didn't expect that this stubborn little girl in front of him would finally start the conversation first, well...he also didn't want to cause further trouble, so in the end Peter answered Ana's question.

"My name is Peter, how about you?"

"My name is Ana. Nice to meet you." said Ana briefly.

"Yes." said Peter nodding.

"Well...we finally know each other's names, it's easier to talk now isn't it? It's not fun to use word You all the time." said Ana again with a bored face.

"You are right." said Peter again nodding.

Why does this boy always answer in short words? Ana is speechless. Should she always take the initiative to start a conversation?

"Is that your hobby to speaking in short words?" said Ana with a bored and sullen face.

"Maybe." said Peter still in a short word.

Arggh!!

Ana couldn't take it anymore, she ruffled her hair in frustration. What's the matter with this kid? Ana can't understand him at all!

Ana fix her messy hair, inhaled and exhaled five times in a row to cool her overflowing emotions. She had to think rationally.

"Don't be mad Ana, don't be mad." she said calming herself.

Peter just looked at Ana's behavior with a face full of interest and a small smile on his lips. He was intrigued to see what this little girl would do next.

"It's finished?" asked Peter in an amused tone.

Ana who was still trying to calm herself down instantly turned her attention to the boy who was smiling vaguely and asking such a heartless question. The little girl looked at Peter sharply.

"Are you really asking me that??" asked Ana in a cold tone.

Peter raised his hands in surrender, this girl was so scary when she was angry. Alright, enough of that...he'll stop teasing her.

"Okay sweet lady, so can you explain why you are here?" asked Peter in a formal tone.

Ana looked at Peter probingly, did her ears hear correctly? This boy is speaking politely?

"What are you planning?" asked Ana looking at Peter suspiciously.

"Nothing. Let's stop fighting." said Peter smiling sweetly.

Ana rolled her eyes with a bored face. Reconcile? Well... all right. There's no point in continuing this any further.

"Okay fine. Let's stop this fight." said Ana at last agreed to Peter's proposal.

"So how did you end up here again? Shouldn't you have learned from the previous experience?" Peter asked Ana.

"It's not that I didn't learn from the previous experience. It's... actually, I don't know how I got here either." said Ana in a sorry tone.

"What do you mean?" asked Peter again.

"So...I found a mysterious passage and without realizing it I was already here when approaching the mysterious passage. I also don't know how it got here." said Ana began to explain.

"That's an unexpected problem." said Peter again.

Ana nodded excitedly then said, "You're right. So, let me tell you, I actually tried to get out of this forest with the memory of when you helped me back then but strangely I couldn't get out, I was just wandering around in the same area. How should I explain it, this forest... this forest is weird."

"Weird?" mumbled Peter again.

Ana nodded again, then she asked Peter, "You seem to know this forest well, do you know anything about this?"

"No. I don't know." said Peter shaking his head.

"And then...what should I do?" asked Ana with a sad face.

"I'll help you get out from this forest like last time." said Peter calmly.

Ana stared at the boy for a moment then she couldn't help but ask the thing she most wanted to know.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" asked Ana with a serious expression.

It doesn't make sense, why is this boy so good to her? Why did she have this unexplainable longing for the boy in front of her? Ana doesn't understand, it's clear they haven't known each other for long, then what's with this inexplicable feeling?
