Her movement caused his hand that was touching her cheek to drop into the void.

In Ho reached out hastily, grabbed Su Yeon’s wrist.

And then he let her know the answer he had postponed.

“Coactor.”
“Ye, yes?”
“Opposite actress.”
“What are you talking about now…….”
“That’s it.”
His tone was clear enough to leave no room for confusion.

But Su Yeon had a face that didn’t understand the context of the conversation at all.

“She’s nothing more than that to me.”
“…….”
“She’s not worth asking about our relationship with such a serious face.”
Ah, so that’s what he meant…….

Su Yeon belatedly realized what In Ho meant and shyly nodded.

She had finally asked because of the unbearable frustration, but she hadn’t expected such a detailed answer.

Especially a kiss.

With the intense skinship from earlier, Su Yeon’s face felt hot again.

Yet, it felt like she had cleanly escaped from the emotion that had been tormenting her all along.

She was no longer frustrated.

His lips, which had touched another woman, were still annoying and cruel, but for some reason, the kiss just before made her feel like In Ho’s lips were entirely hers.

That fact had perfectly quelled the storm of emotions that had been raging until now.

The problem was not Shin Yu Ri anymore.

The aftershock brought on by the unexpected kiss.

That was the new task that Su Yeon had to deal with.

“Did I clear the misunderstanding?”
“……Yes.”
“Then let’s sleep.”
Su Yeon’s eyes, which had been avoiding In Ho, shot up in an instant.

It was a welcome story in the embarrassing car.

Su Yeon nodded her head and answered.

“Ah, I’m sorry for saying unnecessary things when you must be tired, In Ho. Then sleep. I’m going to go in too…….”
“Together.”
At the voice that arrived before her words even finished, Su Yeon widened her eyes and looked at In Ho.

“……Yes?”
“Let’s sleep together.”
Oh my god.

Her face began to color with confusion at the words she hadn’t even anticipated.

((())) ((())) ((()))

Late at night, a bed for a couple was holding two people for the first time in a long time.

Su Yeon stared blankly at the ceiling with eyes that showed no sign of sleepiness.

“I’ll talk to my mother properly. So don’t go to Seongbukdong from tomorrow.”
In Ho’s voice pierced the heavy silence.

Su Yeon’s body trembled slightly for a moment.

Even her sensitive senses, which had been on edge, were completely drawn to In Ho.

“When you’re alone, contact me without thinking if anything happens.”
The sweet words kept tempting her.

It was so heartwrenching that Su Yeon kept getting embarrassed.

She couldn’t even distinguish whether this unbelievable situation was a dream or reality.

So she couldn’t ignore the vague anxiety creeping in.

Her life was something that did not go well with happiness.

It was normal to struggle so much that she wanted to die, and it was unthinkable to lean on and depend on someone.

But In Ho’s words sounded like that.

He would be a shield for her, so she didn’t have to stay alone in pain anymore.

She didn’t have to.

It was what she had wished for every moment of her life.

To grant her at least one person who could share not only happiness but also trials and pain.

Su Yeon had always turned to prayer when she had reached her limit and could endure no more.

The moment she had wished for seemed to have finally arrived.

But then, Su Yeon’s happiness abruptly shifted to indescribable anxiety.

Would this happiness she longed for so much vanish quickly?

Could there be a harsh scar hidden behind it, incomparable to anything before?

Such thoughts kept coming, only instilling fear.

“Su Yeon.”
Suddenly, amidst her negative emotions, In Ho’s voice interjected.

With her eyes slowly focusing, Su Yeon looked at In Ho.

As their gazes intertwined, the negative thoughts that had consumed her mind vanished in an instant.

In Ho’s gaze was firmly fixed on Su Yeon.

His eyes were filled solely with her, desperate and pleading.

You can trust me. Really. I won’t make the same mistakes again. Please trust me.

It seemed as if he was saying just that.

So, Su Yeon found herself unable to even breathe.

“Come here.”
In Ho reached out towards Su Yeon.

He tucked his arm deeply under her head, perfectly blocking her retreat.

As if the only place she could go was his embrace.

Mesmerized, Su Yeon moved her body.

Laying on In Ho’s arm, she let out a hardearned breath.

His scent, cool yet warm, tickled her nose.

Her heart pounded as heavily as his deepening scent.

Unaware of this, In Ho, who had tightly pulled her into his shoulder, teased her even more by gently running his other hand through her hair.

It felt like even her hair was pulsating.

“I hope you sleep well tonight. And have good dreams.”
Unaware that she should respond, Su Yeon slowly moved her eyelids.

In Ho didn’t say anything more.

Instead, he gently ran his hand down her back, making a steady breathing sound.

Fully feeling In Ho’s touch, Su Yeon paid attention to the breath pouring into her ear.

She burrowed even deeper into In Ho’s embrace.

His breathing and heartbeat pleasantly resonated in her ear.

Thump, thump, thump.

It was like the resonance of a grand instrument.

Strangely, it put Su Yeon at ease.

It felt like she could sweep away her insomnia, which even medicine could not cure, at least for tonight.

Her irregular breathing became steady and soon lethargic.

In the midst of her dazed consciousness, a low, amused murmur slipped in.

She wanted to lift her eyelids, but her consciousness was increasingly dim.

Taking advantage of that, a deep voice seeped into her ears.

“…Sleep well.”
The moment she heard that, she fell into a deep sleep as if it were all a lie.
