The female protagonist opens her eyes at Jinyoung's words

He opens his mouth, deep in thought about where to look because Jinyoung is still close by.

서여주

Come on... wake up

I gently push Jinyoung's shoulder, but

Jinyoung who doesn't budge an inch

He looks at the female lead with a smiling face as if finding it amusing and opens his mouth.

배진영

What were you expecting?

The female lead hated herself for her heart pounding at the sight of that mischievous face, but she swallowed hard and turned her head away completely.

서여주

What are you expecting? I just got startled.

Jinyoung chuckled softly at the hesitant voice and stood up.

배진영

There's something on the bed...

The moment the female lead let her guard down, the bed side was the main camp.

Jinyoung looks at the neatly folded underwear and clothes, then turns his gaze to look at Yeoju.

This time, Jinyoung's face turned red.

배진영

you...

서여주

Ah... since there's nowhere to put my underwear...

배진영

So now...

I was stunned for a moment.

He just realized that he, too, had ended up facing Jinyoung while lying down wearing nothing but a robe, without any underwear.

As silence fell, Jinyoung's gaze drifted to Yeoju's legs, where she had been lying collapsed just moments ago.

Jinyoung leaves the room, clearing his throat at the slightly loosened robe strap.

The female lead suddenly stands up upon seeing Jinyoung.

서여주

evil..!

Startled, I sprang up, but unable to bear the pain I had been holding back, I let out a groan and slumped back down.

Jinyoung turned around and ran to Yeoju's side.

배진영

Hey! Come on!

The female lead looks at Jinyoung with tears welling up in her eyes, startled by his sudden outburst.

Jinyoung lets out a sigh while looking at Yeoju and speaks softly.

배진영

Does it hurt a lot?

서여주

Ah... a little. Just surprised.

At Yeoju's words, he lifts her up and grabs the loose strap to tie it tightly.

배진영

You... hmph... no. Just lie down.

Jinyoung swallows his words, lays the female lead down on the bed, and leaves the room.

He pauses for a moment as he closes the door, then spits it out and closes the door.

배진영

good night

The female lead, talking to herself for no reason at Jinyoung's cute behavior

서여주

They're nice but act all prickly... It's weird...

Smiling as if pleased with a part I don't know exactly, I slowly close my eyes on a tiring day.

When he opened his eyes, Jinyoung, dressed differently from yesterday, was looking at him with worried eyes.

배진영

Is it body aches...

Jinyoung touches Yeoju's forehead and speaks while looking at her with her eyes half-open.

배진영

are you okay?

A groan escaped first at Jinyoung's words.

서여주

Ugh... my body... I have no energy...

It was difficult even to open my eyes, so when I closed them, I felt Jinyoung's touch even more.

Jinyoung speaking while stroking the head

배진영

Okay... I called a doctor.

I think I nodded carefully like that and fell asleep.

I wonder how much time has passed. I think I slept like I fainted right in bed, completely stuck out.

No, maybe he was unconscious.

dark room

An object that gets caught in one's hand while fumbling

I cautiously reached out and touched it, and it seemed to be Jinyoung.

I felt like I was getting used to Jinyoung's scent, and unlike the morning, I felt energized; perhaps it was because I had slept soundly.

My throat was hoarse and I couldn't speak.

Moonlight streamed in and illuminated the camp.

The female protagonist sits up and looks at Jinyoung

It seemed like he was taking care of himself and staying by his side.

The female lead reaches out and strokes Jinyoung's head.

It’s not like anything terrible will happen just by extending a helping hand.

Every single movement was cautious.

A person I am grateful to... someone who comes to mind in my life and makes me smile from time to time.

서여주

...thank you..

The female protagonist quietly lets out a slightly cracking voice

Jinyoung, carefully lifting his head as if he had opened his eyes at the female lead's touch, with eyes that were barely open

As soon as he wakes up, he touches Yeoju's forehead.

And then the words he spits out

배진영

Ah... that's a relief.
