The meal passed without any incident.

It was awkward for Dokyun to have this woman sitting next to him instead of across from him, constantly feeding him as if it were a natural thing to do. He felt uneasy sneaking glances and flashing subtle smiles, but he endured it, as it was within his tolerance level.

The real discomfort came after the meal when they stood side by side in front of the sink to brush their teeth.

The handcuffs were unlocked. He had asked if she could unlock them for the time being since it was uncomfortable to brush his teeth with them on, and she had readily agreed.

He couldn’t understand her intentions, but it seemed like she was loosening her guard against him little by little.

– Swoosh…

While brushing his teeth, Dokyun felt a light touch of her slender fingers on the back of his hand.

As Dokyun looked at her through the mirror in front of him, He saw her looking at him through the mirror as well.

Her eyes gently closed and drew a curve. Her body heat entangled in her empty hands. The face behind the mirror smiled.

“Heehee…”

She laughed with the toothbrush in her mouth, creating a muffled sound.

Her hand, coming up to his finger, tickled the palm of Dokyun’s hand.

It was awkward.

Although it was his palm that this woman was tickling, his heart fluttered inexplicably.

Feeling an unbearable sensation somewhere, Dokyun tightly closed his hand to stop her tickling movement.

The faces he was seeing through the mirror were slightly red.

Both this woman’s face and his own face.

“I’m going crazy, seriously…”

He had to get out.

It seemed like the atmosphere would become strange if he stayed here any longer.

Dokyun quickly spat out the gargle and rinsed his mouth. Then, as he looked at her, she mimicked what he was doing, tilting her head forward and spitting out the gargle water as well.

Her long, flowing hair was about to drip down from the spit, so Dokyun used his hand to push it back, and I felt a slight flinch.

The nape of her neck, which had been hidden by her hair, was exposed under his hand. The straight, thin lines were dyed red.

“Oh, my goodness…”

It was amusing to hear her making silly sounds, and he ended up leting out a choking laugh.

“You should be careful.”

“yes…”

With a small nod of her head, Eun-ah replied to Dokyun’s words.

The soft touch of her hair wrapped around his hand, and the red nape and earlobes that drew a straight line stole Dokyun’s attention.

Her cheek was puffy from rinsing, filled with water. Dokyun felt the urge to poke it with his finger, but he resisted, thinking that the reaction might not be pleasant.

After wiping off the water, she crossed her arms and spoke to him.

“Mr. Bee, let’s go… now.”

“Yes.”

It felt like the soft touch of her arm was spreading all over his body.

‘It’s difficult to do this…’

Even while his rational mind tried to resist, his body was simply embracing her and enjoying the warmth that lingered around him all day.

‘Okay…’

His head instinctively bowed down. Through the downward vision, he could see the steps stretching out in the same movement.

It would have been evident that the way people walk could be the same, but he was attaching meaning to it for no reason.

As she realized his vision, her expression tightened.

He had misunderstood.

‘To resist is bullshit.’

It seemed like his rational mind was already halfway surrendered.

Dokyun raised his head again. The more he looked at it, the more his thoughts seemed to jump in strange directions.

He shifted his gaze and looked at her, who had her arms crossed. She was truly a charming woman. It was just only been 4 days since she appeared in his life, but the way she held and shook him was incredibly alluring.

As he followed her, and suddenly found himself in a dark bedroom.

As soon as he saw it, a question popped into his mind.

‘Come to think of it…’

As a result of observing her for the past few days, he could see that her daily routine was quite monotonous.

She would wake up, eat, take a shower, come out to the living room and spend time, have dinner, brush her teeth, and go to the bedroom.

There must be time set aside for writing, but since his arrival, He hadn’t seen her doing that even once, so he didn’t know when she did it.

‘Is living like this fun?’

Even though it was only four days, the pattern he saw was very consistent. Of course having a regular routine wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but apart from that, her daily activities were quite dull.

She had no particular hobbies or deviations. Although she went out the other day, judging from her attitude upon returning, it felt like she had gone out to handle some business.

Dokyun didn’t know if this expression was correct, but it felt like watching a person with strong desires. The feeling of doing what needed to be done. The feeling of looking at a machine performing the inputted tasks.

Despite her impulsive attitude towards him, Dokyun felt that way when she separated from him.

Dokyun recalled the conversation he had with her during the day game.

“What are your hobbies, Eun-ah?”

“Mr.bee…”

“Ah… Ha…”

It wasn’t a proper answer. Every question Dokyun asked her about her preferences returned in a similar manner, so he didn’t learn much about her.

While the thoughts were going on, he felt a force pulling him onto the bed.

“Now, lie down…”

“Ah, yes.”

As Dokyun turned his head, he saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, pulling him towards her. And he obediently moved his body onto the bed.

– Click.

Once again, the handcuffs were locked. It seemed like he wouldn’t be given more freedom than this.

As Dokyun laid down on the bed and relaxed, she, as usual, tucked herself into his arms creating a position where she was hugged by him.

“Hehe…”

Her leaning against Dokyun and relaxing seemed a bit fuzzy. As he moved his hand and gently brushed the back of her head, her eyes slowly closed as if she were looking at Porong in the home.

For a moment, thinking that it resembled a lazy cat in this house made him laugh out loud.

“Haha…”

“Huh…?”

When Dokyun let out a laugh, she opened her eyes slightly and looked at him with a blank expression, so he burst into laughter again.

“Puff, Hahaha…”

Her face, facing him with a dumbfounded expression, seemed to find his laughter amusing, so she started laughing along.

“Hehehe…”

Once again, Dokyun felt that strange sensation of his heart tightening. Even as the corner of his mouth twitched, the unidentified emotion slightly soared with anxiety.

He raised his head and calmed his mind a little by holding down the swaying feelings of anxiety. Calming his heart, he opened his mouth towards her.

“Should we sleep now?”

“Oh, no…”

The face that had been laughing for a while looked at him and said so.

“Yes?”

“Not yet…”

Somehow, it felt like a familiar flow. Eun-ah’s arm, which was holding him, moved gradually and came up to his chest.

“Oh, there’s still something to do…?”

“Huh…”

Dokyun’s eyes examined her expression. Her eyes were moist, her cheeks were flushed, and her breathing was rough with a wheezing sound.

“Damn it.”

He could feel cold sweat forming. In addition, impulses surged within him.

At first glance, it seemed like she was trying to initiate something intimate. Dokyun’s thinking spun rapidly and he tried to find an excuse to avoid it.

That woman wasn’t the problem. He was the problem.

Dokyun felt like he would be completely ruined if he couldn’t stand it and went through with it, and this weird sound would swallow up the accident. So that was the problem.

Dokyun thoughts swiftly turned. He tried to suppress the inexplicable emotions and let fear settle in his side, holding down the unknown emotions.

Temporary workarounds like before were no longer enough. He had to convince her to restrain herself, as he was no longer confident enough to resist the urges that were constantly staring at him.

Dokyun recalled her words, her actions, and her triggers in his mind. He had to find a way to restrain her.

In the midst of that, as his thoughts raced, his rationality found a solution in a corner of his mind.

‘This is it.’

Dokyun hardened his expression, summoned determination, and opened his mouth to speak.

“Not today.”

“Huh…?”

A look of confusion briefly settled over Eun-ah’s face, followed by a sense of dissatisfaction in her blank expression.

“But I wanted to…”

It seemed like she was starting to protest. It wasn’t anger. It wasn’t triggering her. So stopping her seemed possible. Dokyun opened his mouth once again and began to speak.

“Miss Eun-ah.”

“Yes…”

Her eyebrows furrowed as she stared at him with a piercing gaze. Her lips jutted out, causing the corners of her mouth to pout.

‘Grit…’

He had to endure. Tension filled Dokyun’s body. The sense of tension spread to the tips of his toes as his toes began to stretch out.

“We… we did it last night and this morning, didn’t we?”

Wham!

Her face turned as red as possible. The stubborn demeanor disappeared, replaced by a sense of embarrassment.

“Yes, yes…”

“We already did it twice?”

“Yes…”

As Dokyun looked at her with a stern expression, Eun-ah’s gradually lowered her head. The hand that had been raised on Dokyun’s chest hesitated in its movements.

Dokyun, finding her embarrassed state somewhat endearing, regained his composure and opened his mouth with his expression as firm as possible.

“Behaving impulsively like this isn’t very mature, is it?”

“Ugh…”

A look of anger surfaced over Eun-ah’s face, overcoming the embarrassment that had occupied it. It flickered back and forth. Her expression seemed quite busy.

Soon, Dokyun, who had erased the miscellaneous thoughts that came to his mind, moved his mouth again and urged for an answer.

“Right?”

“Yes, yes…”

Fortunately, it seemed like his suggestion had gotten through to her. For some reason, she was fixated on appearing mature.

Aside from the fact that she acts like a child and feels sloppy in her way of thinking, he could clearly see that she desired to be seen as mature.

He needed to firmly establish in her mind that overlapping their bodies impulsively was not an adult-like behavior.

After thinking about it, Dokyun moved his hand that was resting on the back of her head to gently stroke her hair, and spoke.

“Eun-ah is a wonderful adult, so she can be patient, right?”

A wonderful adult… Dokyun crafted the sentence, inserting keywords that would convince her.

A fleeting sense of joy crossed her face as he looked at her.

“Yes!” Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ N0vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

‘Good.’

“Will you wait a little longer?”

“Just, just a little longer…!”

She nodded her head up and down. Somehow, they had overcome the crisis once again.

The tension that had been built up in his body was released. Dokyun smiled comfortably and continued to stroke her hair as he spoke.

“Nice.”

“Hehe…”

Her face brightened. It was still an unpredictable emotional path, but as he became somewhat accustomed to it, Dokyun began to find ways to guide those emotions in the direction he desired.

The tension in his body was completely released. All the urges that he didn’t know were subdued.

Rationality came to mind again.

A breath that had been held in tightly was finally released.

If he just continued like this, there should be no problems.

Only to the extent that he could control his own emotions, needed to stay close to her.

These fluctuating emotions were just illusions, a play of probability. He must not get any closer to that woman.

His own state of mind was not in a good place.

“Shall we go to sleep now?”

“Yes!”

Her face, as they faced each other, seemed so clear and innocent that Dokyun began to question his own perception.

He tried to tell reminded himself that nothing had changed. That woman was a criminal who had kidnapped him, and he was the pitiful victim who needed to save himself.

No matter how much that woman shook him, he had to regain the life that was rightfully his.

“Well, good night…”

“Sleep well too, Eun-ah.”

This warmth, these heartbeats—they should be born out of fear. His body, which didn’t desire harm to come to her, should be the one creating these illusions.

“Hehe… Yes!”

He had to keep an eye on her to make sure she didn’t hurt him. The tightening in his chest should be the sense of suffocation from being confined.

His state of mind was not in a good place, and his emotions were ignorant and bouncing.

It had to be this way.
