Chapter 23
Last Romeo ...... Last JulietNaeun's hand stretch to feel the bed besides her searching for the body of the person that held her the night before but no one was there. Her eyes shot wide open and she sat up looking around the room for that familiar face her heart is dying to see. And he was right there sitting so peacefully reading the manga she got him with a childish smile. Her eyes became warm and tears fell on her cheeks as she watched him silently memorizing every inch of him. He looked thinner and he had dark circles around his eyes. His beard looks newly shaved and his hair is still wet. His presence made her heart warm and she was smiling while the tears streamed down her face.

But she knows they need to let the poison out of their system or they will forever hold grudges and thing will keep bubbling up till they explode. They need to fight it off and kill the beast. He sees a change in her expression but he doesn't understand it and she doesn't give him the time to think. She kicks his leg and he jumps back holding it pain while staring at her in confusion. It hurts her. She wants to hug him and apologize but she needs to keep her act together. "That is for leaving me alone all this time."
