She smiled because she understood everything. "Let it go, but leave this forest immediately."

If you want to join me, I'm ready to leave the forest right now. "Do you want to live in this forest?" I complained inwardly.

"What?" she asked.

"You keep talking." I averted my gaze from her.

I will leave you near your car because "this forest is extremely dangerous." She waited for me while standing.

However, I began to ask her something to stop her when I realized she would not abandon me in this situation. "How long have you been here?" I asked in a deep, icy, and odd tone.

"Since my earliest years." She began to walk as she spoke, which saddened me.

I took two steps forward before grabbing her wrist and stopping her. "Would you please stop walking?" I took a deep breath to relax myself. "I can't go today, and I'm not going alone." My voice was filled with enthusiasm.

"What does it mean to be unable to travel alone?" "Will you accompany the bear, tiger, and lion?" She inquired curiously.

"The Bear?" I asked shockingly. "Why did you remember that?" When I think of the bear, I get terrified.

"You were prepared to fight the bear!" So, why do you feel afraid when you hear the name? She said mockingly, without looking into my eyes, and continued to walk.

I felt a cold, intense pain in my forehead. However, I opened my eyes to see her lovely face.

I forced myself to sit up and started admiring the beautiful forest fairy as a natural wonder. She saved my life, which I appreciated.

"May I ask for your name?" Until then, I had no reason to know anything about her.

"Mercy." She responded with a suave tone.

"That name suits you." I smiled and spoke while looking into her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Her eyes narrowed, but they were stunning. "Many people have come to this forest hoping to explore and discover new things, but no one has seen me yet." She paused for a moment."I had to get into a situation to save you, so you are the only person who has seen me." When she finished speaking, she looked up to see how I felt.

"Whatever the situation?" I asked abruptly and without thinking about it.

"You'd be stuck with that bear if I hadn't rescued you." She spoke confidently, and her bravery was admirable.

"No, I was ready to fight the bear even if you didn't save." It is harder for me to maintain my dignity than the bear attack.

"Your forehead is bleeding. What happened?" she inquired, placing her hand on my forehead. Something made me forget my pain. She touched me, and I felt a strong sense of comfort.

"I am fine." I smiled and lied, closing my eyes automatically.

I could sense everything around me, but dizziness prevented me from opening my eyes.

She lifted me off the ground and secured me to her back with a tree root. She grabbed an aerial root and jumped onto another aerial. I open my eyes as she grabs it and jumps; at that point, I'm flying alongside her.

I was terrified of the distance between us and the ground. I closed my eyes again, unsure whether she could bear my weight.

My mind wondered how beautiful she was. It appeared that I had come to this forest solely to see this fairy.

She finally got me down to the riverbank. The river was frozen, but she found some water on the riverbank, carried it in a leaf, and forced me to drink. I'd considered asking her for water, but she understood and quenched my thirst.

SMILE NEVER FAILS

As the bear was jumping on me, someone jumped down from the tree in front of me. I was stunned because I hadn't expected it. She looked like the forest's princess, dressed in animal skins.

She gave me a quick glance before returning her attention to the bear. I was surprised and shocked to see how quietly the bear left when the girl noticed him.

While watching this scene, I forgot I was hurt and pressed my hand against the sore spot. After seeing the bear, she approached me and knelt. She looked even more stunning in person.

"Who are you?" She asked softly.

I was surprised by how well she spoke English. The girl living with the animals in the forest spoke human language, which astounded me.

I took control of my thoughts and started talking to her. "My name's Kevin." I wrinkled my face in pain.

The pain was so intense that I found it difficult to open my eyes. Despite this, I tried to open my eyes and look at her beautiful face again. I noticed some kindness in her stunning crystal brown eyes.

I didn't have time to stand and think, so I began running, but the bear wouldn't let me go and chased me frantically. Even though I turned around to see if the bear was pursuing me, my legs kept running after I realized they were no longer strong enough.

I was running away from the bear in fear, so I didn't notice the tree in front of me. The incident occurred so quickly that I couldn't stop my legs from running. I was looking straight ahead when I hit a tree and fell, severely injuring my forehead.

My forehead bled profusely, and I felt as if that location was circling me. I pressed my palm against my forehead, but the blood still flowed.

I thought it was time to get up and run, but I couldn't move. I am pretty sure no one will save me from the bear in this dense forest, so I will have to try.

My throat was so dry that I couldn't speak. Even if I scream, no one is likely to come to my aid in the forest. I'm certain I was the bear's lunch today. The way it looked made me even more scared.

For a brief moment, I experienced deathly silence, so I lifted my head to look for the bear, but it was nowhere to be found. Should I be relieved that the bear is no longer visible, or should I be concerned about where it is?

Suddenly, the bear jumped down from the tree and began smashing the left window glass of my car. Panicked, I jumped back.

When I saw the bear shatter my car's window glass, fear tightened my chest and made breathing difficult. In a short while, the bear will smash the car's windshield.I need to find an escape route, but I have no idea what to do. I've never seen a wild animal outside the cage so close.

Suddenly I had an idea: if the bear enters the door on the left, I'll have no choice but to open the right door to save myself. I need to wait for the bear to break the glass.

The glass began to crash gradually. The bear shook the car so violently that my body collided with the right door. My hands searched for something to hold.

As expected, the glass broke and the bear tried to pass through it. Without hesitation, I opened the appropriate door and leapt out.
