“Let’s get you home.. It’s cold out here.”

I nodded since I couldn’t reject his offer.

His POV

We got on a bus and sat near the back.

I noticed that she was already getting sleepy after a few minutes.

“Here.” I offered her my shoulder.
“Ani. I’m okay.”

After she said that, she yawned.

*So stubborn..*

I used my hand to let her head lean on my shoulder.

“Gomawo..” She said softly and closed her eyes.

I inhaled her addicting scent. It clearly wasn’t perfume but she always smelled sweet, somehow like cherry blossoms.

A different one from noona’s mature scent.

The ride was quiet and slow.

The whole time, I gazed at her sleeping face.

*Kim Hyerin.. You’re so pure.. Yet you had to go through this..*

I kissed the top of her head and rested mine on hers.

“..Mianhae.. Nattaemunae.. I put you in danger..”

I intertwined my fingers with hers.

*This atmosphere.. It’s so soothing..*

I tried to stay awake but soon, sleep overcame me.

I opened my eyes slowly only to feel something heavy on my head.

*Huh?!*
I realized that it was Byunghun.

I couldn’t see his sleeping face since I didn’t want to wake him by moving my head.
Instead, I just listened to his faint snoring.
*Kyeopta.* I smiled to myself.

My hand felt something twitch and my eyes looked down.

I saw his fingers locked with mine resting on his lap.
*You really know how to stir up my feelings don’t you..?*

Then I muttered to myself.

“When the time comes.. I hope my feelings reach you soon..”

Afterwards, I went back to sleep.
