Heaven's Cloud

thank you

In the kitchen, a split second when the knife slips.

승관

"Hey, what do I do..!! Jiyeon, Jiyeon?!"

Seungkwan's surprised voice echoed through the space.

Jiyeon couldn't answer his call, her expression frozen for a moment as an unfamiliar memory suddenly flashed through her mind.

김지연

"Uh..uh, yes?!"

It was only after I came to my senses that I saw Seung-kwan's face.

His eyes were filled with worry, and he was already tightly holding Jiyeon's hand while checking the condition of her wound.

The moment his gaze saw the blood on her fingertips, Jiyeon instinctively felt pain and screamed softly as if swallowing it.

김지연

"ouch...!"

승관

"Okay, just a moment..!"

Seung-kwan hurriedly finds a tissue, tears it out, wraps it generously around Ji-yeon's hand, and says.

승관

"Hold on tight to this. It's not that deep... but the wound is a bit big. I need to apply some medicine quickly."

Seung-kwan squeezes the tissue tightly and runs into the room to find the first aid kit.

Jiyeon suddenly looked down at her hands and thought.

김지연

'I feel like I was lying... in the hospital. But, is it true that I feel sick right now?'

The stinging sensation flowing from the small wound was so vivid. It was the first time I felt this sensation since it happened.

Delay was momentarily dazed by the feeling of his own hands being alive.

At that moment, Seungkwan returned, catching his breath and carrying a first aid kit.

He carefully sat Delay down on the dining chair, took her hand, applied ointment, put a bandage on it, and treated it with care.

승관

"Oh my... Are you okay? It must be really painful."

김지연

"...It's okay. Thank you so much, Seungkwan."

Jiyeon answered cautiously, trying her best to endure the sensation of her fingertips touching him, and Seungkwan furrowed his eyebrows slightly while concentrating on the treatment before asking.

승관

"But... you took care of me all night? That's why you were making that to give to me...?"

His voice had a touch of softness and sincerity that was unusual.

Jiyeon lowered her gaze and nodded slightly.

김지연

"...You look like you're having a hard time. I think it's because of me..."

승관

"It's because of Jiyeon. I got sick from playing around, and I have a lot to worry about."

Seungkwan raised his head after carefully attaching the last band.

At that moment, Jiyeon's face came into view.

The spices she had spilled while preparing a meal for herself lingered slightly on her cheek.

Seung-kwan extended his hand without saying a word.

Her fingertips lightly touched Jiyeon's skin, and her thumbs gently wiped away the seasoning marks.

Jiyeon opened her eyes wide in surprise at the sensation and took a small breath as if catching her breath. Seungkwan also quickly took his hand away, feeling sorry for his actions.

승관

"...Ah, anyway, thank you Jiyeon. Really."

He quickly got up and went into the room to grab a first aid kit.

The remaining delay lowered his head and felt his cheeks getting hotter.

Much sharper and hotter than the wound on my fingertips.

The moment he touched me was gently engraved deep in my heart.
