Glancing, Tissue’s blue eyes turned toward Eunha.

It was strange. When those eyes met mine, the feelings that I had hidden deep inside seemed to flow out involuntarily.

If it were Tissue, he seemed like he would listen to whatever I said. Without disdain, without sympathy, just silently. That’s why I didn’t know.

“If it’s okay, would you like to come with us to the Association? It would be very reassuring if Miss Yura came with us.”

Suddenly, Junhwan’s suggestion came to mind. Come to think of it, he said he would contact me again and completely forgot about it.

Then, the words the instructor said during today’s class also came to mind.
“Now is the time for the written test application period. How about giving it a try? The written test is much easier than the practical one, so take it without any pressure.”

“Have confidence. Miss Yura, you will become a great dog groomer.”

The hand that was combing Tissue’s fur gradually slowed down.

Now, faces of people from the academy, who had become closer, came to mind. Among them, she envisioned herself skillfully brushing, which had improved quite a bit.

As the brushing suddenly came to a halt, Eunha muttered to herself as if admonishing.

“…I thought there was nothing I could do except killing monsters.”

The crimson light from the stand lamp, softly illuminating the bedroom, cast their shadows on the wall.

Suddenly, Tissue’s blue eyes turned towards Eunha. It felt like their eyes had met.

The night breeze slipped through the slightly opened window. From where the puffy curtain swelled, Eunha looked up.

A black dress hanging on the wardrobe latch. It was gradually becoming more and more vague when the last time she wore it was.

“Me…”

Maybe that’s why, for the first time, Eunha thought such a thing.

“It might be okay to live as Yura like this.”

In the deep night where even the moon in the sky had hidden.

Silently, a white dog rose from the bed with the sound of the carpet brushing against the floor. The jewel-like blue eyes looked toward the bed.

Occasionally, only the sound of the blanket brushing and faint breathing filled the space.

A light shadow fell over Eunha’s face as she slept soundly.

At first, the slender shadow gradually changed into a huge one without a sound. Soon, the shadow taking on a human form quietly leaned over Eunha’s head.

“…”

The moon, hidden by clouds, revealed itself, and the dim room gradually brightened. The figure that appeared was not the previous white dog but Siwoo, with jet-blue hair.

Bending slightly forward, Siwoo silently stared at Eunha’s face as she slept.

‘Tissue was a bit much, senior.’

Siwoo twisted his mouth slightly as if he didn’t like it but refrained from saying more, not wanting to make a sound in case she woke up.

Her face, which had been covered by shadows, brightened again in the moonlight. Siwoo faintly smiled as he looked at Eunha’s sleeping face.

It was the first time he had seen her sleeping since she was hospitalized.

At that time, there was no choice but not to observe her closely, but now, the shadow that had been slender silently turned into a huge one. Looking at her sleeping face, Siwoo thought, ‘She looks gentle.’

No… No, that’s not it. Come to think of it, what Siwoo couldn’t have imagined wasn’t just the fact that Eunha’s sleeping face was gentle.

While Eunha stayed at her house as ‘Tissue,’ Siwoo experienced things he had never imagined.

Eunha, who didn’t know Tissue’s true identity, performed unbelievable tasks, such as giving Siwoo dog food, throwing dog treats, and asking him to come.

Now, under the moonlight, Siwoo, with a faint smile, watched Eunha’s peaceful sleeping face.
Among them, the most shocking incident was when she tried to bathe him by immersing him in the bathtub herself.

“It was dangerous.”

The moment her hand touched his abdomen, he almost deactivated his manifestation into a divine being.

It was undoubtedly the most desperate situation since he became an incarnated god. Even now, thinking back, it was a dizzying moment, enough to clear his mind.

With large hands covering his steel-like eyes, Siwoo performed a dry wash several times in the dark room.
