“Yeah.”

As Woo-hyun answered shortly after, as if he had given up, Yoo-hwa was speechless at his reply.

“Once I requested for those who have been dwelling, you mentioned sure. Even then… you have been doing this? No. Wait. Generally your garments have been the identical the subsequent morning. Even then, don’t inform me…”

“…”

Woo-hyun didn’t say something.

“Why have been you doing this?”

Yoo-hwa requested, shortly scanning his expression. Then, she thought.

That is why his face at all times seemed haggard.

Even after they began seeing one another once more, Woo-hyun typically confirmed a drained face. She thought it was as a result of he had quite a lot of work and traveled all the best way right here day-after-day, however there was one other hidden cause.

The upset Yoo-hwa stared at Woo-hyun as if she hoped for a solution. Woo-hyun stared down at Yoo-hwa, silently. There have been quite a lot of feelings in his silent gaze.

He slowly raised his hand and touched her face, simply as he had confirmed her existence at some point. Lastly, the information of Woo-hyun’s fingers, which had flowed down the road of her face, reached her chin and remained there, as he was unable to take away his hand.

“I’m afraid I’ll get up.”

“…”

“Generally once I’m at your home, it appears like a dream.”

“…”

“I stayed right here till I accepted that it was actuality. And once I did, generally it was already morning.”

“…”

“I used to be additionally afraid that you just would possibly expertise one thing dangerous with out me figuring out. There isn’t any place that’s 100% secure.”

Yoo-hwa’s head lowered progressively at Woo-hyun’s calm phrases.

Once they met once more, Woo-hyun acted naturally and confirmed a cushty expression, so she thought the whole lot was nice. However he was alone on this uncertainty.

“What felt like a dream? What made you uneasy?”

Woo-hyun’s face crumpled on the query that Yoo-hwa, who was choking up on feelings, was barely capable of ask. After wanting on the weak expression he had seen once they parted, he opened his lips.

“Assembly you was like a dream. I used to be anxious that the gap between us wouldn’t slim.”

Woo-hyun’s eyes sank. Because the cool spring breeze blew, the hair protecting his brow fluttered frivolously. Regardless of the nice wind, Woo-hyun’s face turned an increasing number of disordered.

“It’s very easy to get folks’s favor, however I don’t know what to do in the case of you.”

“…”

“… It’s tough as a result of I’m being honest.”

“…”

“What ought to I do? How can I make you are feeling as comfy as earlier than?”

Woo-hyun’s crumpled face made Yoo-hwa suffocate. She knew that Woo-hyun felt uncomfortable every time she handled him politely and cautiously. However he was not feeling uncomfortable, he was feeling insecure.

“Let’s reside collectively.”

So… that’s why he mentioned that.

He thought he ought to not less than try this.

As a result of if he didn’t, he wouldn’t have the ability to escape this nervousness eternally.

Her personal warning and hesitation made him uneasy and impatient. She didn’t imply that, however she had no alternative however to watch out. They gave one another quite a lot of wounds, and he or she was afraid that any phrase or motion might contact these wounds.

Nevertheless, this prudence made Woo-hyun anxious and lonely.

Every part appeared clear now, as if a fog that was obscuring her imaginative and prescient had dissipated.

Yoo-hwa’s confused gaze reached the butterfly knot on Woo-hyun’s sneakers.

“Woo-hyun.”

Maybe what they wanted was not warning in order to not contact one another’s wounds, however the conviction that they might affirm one another’s emotions. There could also be some ways to persuade one another, however proper now, just one got here to thoughts.

“… Do you need to sleep collectively?”

It was the one technique to present one another’s naked faces in probably the most revealing manner.

Though her lips moved on their very own, she didn’t remorse it.

Yoo-hwa, who raised her head, stared straight at Woo-hyun, who was tinged by the streetlights. He checked out her with an expression as if he had heard incorrect. For some cause, he seemed foolish and pitiable.

“Let’s fall asleep.”

She mentioned it once more as if to reassure him.

The petals that had been fluttering at their ft as a result of wind disappeared to someplace far-off. The one ones left there have been Yoo-hwa and Woo-hyun, who understood what she mentioned.

***

Yoo-hwa’s steps as she entered the home have been awkward. The sound of footsteps behind her made her nervous. She reached out and groped the wall to search out the change. She couldn’t discover the place the change was on account of Woo-hyun’s shadow being solid. Due to that, her arms have been wandering round and touching the incorrect locations.

Woo-hyun’s massive hand, which held her hand groping the wall, stood out exceptionally pale within the gentle that got here in by way of the closing door. Then, the door closed, and darkness pushed in. Trying on the wall, Yoo-hwa’s face turned clean.

She couldn’t breathe as quickly as she felt Woo-hyun’s agency arms that hugged her from behind, the hand that wrapped round her wrist, and the chest that touched her again.

“You don’t have to show it on.”

Woo-hyun’s low voice gave her goosebumps, as if she had a premonition of one thing. She needed to decrease her arm, however she couldn’t transfer as a result of she was held by Woo-hyun.
