At the tingling sensation that rose throughout his body, Geon flinched again.
Geon, taking a deep breath internally, answered Yeonwoo’s question.
“I got this scar when I was 11.”
“Good heavens…”
Yeonwoo was shocked. At the age of 11, even if he received plenty of love, where on that small body could there be a place to hurt.
“What… How could that happen to the young Lord, so cruel…!”
“It’s okay. I’m used to it now.”
How many times must one endure such pain to become accustomed to it?
Even though Geon said he was used to it, the reality of Yeonwoo being able to do nothing but cry for him made him even sadder.
“You, you’re too, hurt. Sob. How, how difficult it must have been at such a young age…”
“Don’t cry because of me.”
Despite Geon’s words of reassurance, Yeonwoo, shedding tears in pain, couldn’t stop.
He wanted to be a source of strength for Geon, who acknowledged him as his person.
However, the reality that he could only cry for Geon made Yeonwoo even more sorrowful.
Until now, Geon had endured many dangers alone, but Yeonwoo was the first person to truly express anger and pain for him. The purity that Yeonwoo showed towards others was a warmth that Geon had never experienced before.
In front of that warmth, the emotional barriers in Geon’s heart, which had never been lowered to anyone, melted away like snow, truly a mysterious event. Didn’t they say that a person’s expression reflects the scenery of the heart?
Geon felt grateful and infinitely precious for Yeonwoo, who radiated such a pure heart, and for the warm comfort that Yeonwoo, who had never experienced before, provided.
Geon reached out his arm towards Yeonwoo, who shed tears for him, and slowly, very carefully, pulled Yeonwoo into his chest.
Yeonwoo’s tear-moistened cheek against Geon’s chest felt like it pierced through to his heart.
“Huueuk….”
Geon gently stroked Yeonwoo’s crying head.
With the other hand, as if comforting the delicate back, he whispered to Yeonwoo’s ear.
“Shh…”
Perhaps due to Geon’s low voice, or perhaps due to Geon’s broad and warm embrace, Yeonwoo’s cries and the trembling transmitted through Geon’s palm gradually found stability.
Not long after, when the crying completely subsided, Yeonwoo’s consciousness began to return.
‘Wait…’
When he came to his senses, Yeonwoo was in Geon’s embrace. Moreover, Geon’s upper body was in a state without a single piece of clothing, so Yeonwoo’s cheek and the bare skin of Geon’s chest were in direct contact.
To receive comfort from the person who should be comforted, and that too, with his bare chest! Only now did Yeonwoo realize the situation he was in.
After becoming embarrassed, Yeonwoo’s body twitched, and when he lifted his head, Geon’s arms that had enveloped Yeonwoo’s head and back loosened.
When Yeonwoo looked up, what he faced was Geon’s eyes looking down with an affectionate gaze.
Had Naru ever shown such a figure?
Surprised by the first-time gentle appearance of Geon, Yeonwoo widened his eyes.
Such a sight of Yeonwoo was lovely to Geon, and he let out a chuckle.
Geon’s sharp gaze softened, and the black pupils, which had always felt cold, now contained boundless warmth.
Geon let out a pleasing low-pitched voice.
“Now, you’ve stopped crying.”
—Thud!
In Yeonwoo’s ear, a thud echoed as if the heavens were shaking.
Geon’s deep red lips smoothly ascended to an almost dizzying degree, and Yeonwoo’s world came to a halt in the breathtakingly beautiful smile of Geon.
