DON'T ASK ABOUT MY PAST

With anger, “Are you enjoying this? Bastard, don’t touch me!”

With double anger and carelessness, “You think you're so beautiful that I want to touch you? I feel like vomiting.”

“Then why are you touching my spine, bastard? Move and hold the net!”

“Then why are you touching my back? Because of you, we're in this mess, you greedy princess.”

With an annoyed tone, “Huh! Then why did you come, too? You’re also greedy, bastard. If you had stayed there, I could’ve easily taken the crystal and you could’ve untied it. Shit!”

“That’s my line. First, I saw the crystal.”

*How Yuta and Himari ended up in the mesh net*

1. Net Setup

-A thick stainless steel mesh net is placed on the ground, covered with leaves, branches, and mud to make it blend in. A small blue crystal rests on it.

-Thin stainless steel wires run along the edges of the net, with a matte finish instead of shiny. These wires are threaded lightly through foliage/tied to branches or vines, making them hard to spot.

2. Positioning the Wires:

-The thin wires are attached to Tree A (where the net is placed) and combine into a single wire.

-The wire from Tree A’s branch stretches to a branch on Tree B and is connected to a rock on the upper branch of Tree B.

-The wire runs high between the trees, blending with the branches or shadows. Unless someone is actively looking up, it won’t be visible.

3. Rock Placement:

-A heavy rock is placed on the upper branch of Tree B, balanced precariously.

“Hey, why are you going so fast?”

“Huh? I’m not fast. You’re slow!” ‘Shit, why did I pair up with her?’

“Hey, I don’t want to pair up with you either, but we can’t do anything now. Just stop. We have plenty of time. We only need one crystal per day.”

Yuta turned back, “Huh? Are you mad? If we get more, we can get favour . Didn’t you listen? Well, it’s my mistake to asking. Sorry.”

With anger, “Huh! What do you mean by your mistake? Are you calling me dumb? First, we need one. After that, we can search for more. By the way, idiot, master said it’s a small favor.”

Yuta saw the crystal. “Crystal!”

“Where?!”

“That way, are you blind?”

“Huh! Shit, I’ll go take it. Wait here.”

“Huh! You wait here. I saw it first.”

Both of them stepped on the net, triggering the wire, which pulls the rock. The rock falls to the side, and before either of them could react, the net sprang up, pulling tight around their bodies. In a split second, they were hoisted into the air, tangled and hanging from the tall tree like helpless prey.

"Damn it! A trap?!"

Himari struggled, "Ugh—your elbow is in my back!"

Yuta gritted his teeth, "You think I like this? Move your spine!"

The net swayed slightly as they dangled, their backs aligned, spines brushing, heightening both their annoyance. They were facing opposite directions, looking toward the net. Their backs were away from the net, with their spines barely touching each other’s. Their knees were drawn up close to their chests, hands gripping the net tightly as they tried to find a way to free themselves.
