After a long wait, Taekwoon is finally home.

I stay still in my bed, hoping that he will not notice I'm still awake.

And it works, he didn't stop by my bed and go straight to take his clothes for shower.

Once he enters the bathroom, I sigh quietly to myself.

He smells blood again. 

After shower, he is back to our share room to check on me.

I could feel the lingering of his fingers on my hair, my cheek, my lips - his fingers are everywhere on me.

Nothing sensual, just touches that full of love and longing, but it makes me feel sorrow.

Don't go, Taekwoon-ah, please stay.

I let my tears flow silently, and Taekwoon wipes them away.

"Nightmare again?" He murmurs softly, "I'm here Hakyeon-ah, just sleep baby."

You'll leave when I'm asleep, I know it.

"I'll be back in no time, Hakyeon-ah. Sleep well." He presses a small kiss on my forehead, and another on my lips. He stays there for a little while, fingers caressing my cheek.

Then he stands, walking towards the front door, and leave.

Click, the door locks.

Please come home safely, Taekwoon-ah.

I cry, sob echoes throughout the silent room.
