Kiss your shadow

[G-Kiss] | 38.

A faint, dim light filtered in through the window.

5 am.

The palace is truly quiet before dawn.

I must have woken up from a faint sleep,

She tossed and turned, her still-still-open eyelids fluttering slightly as thoughts occasionally nudged her, the realization that she was awake.

.....I don't know where I'm lying right now, but the blanket is soft...

It feels like it's been a while, but my back feels hot. Did they turn on the light in the room? No, I'm sleeping with my body turned over...

..but really, where is this place...? What's with the pillow...

I don't know what's going on in your head, but I think I woke up first today.

....!

My heavy eyelids opened in a flash at the sound of a languid voice coming from just above my head.

..I guess it was because I didn't realize the situation, but the moment I opened my eyes and rolled them, I heard his low laughter.

The low, languid voice, broken by a sleepy feeling, came from so close that even the breath flowed into my ear.

It was obvious how ridiculous I must have looked to him.

......

...sweeping his hair, he stands up diagonally from his seat))

...now, now... what time is it...

The sky is billowing as if the sun is about to rise... It must be around 5-7 AM.

The maids will come soon to bring you breakfast.

So you,

A light kiss briefly touched the corner of the eye and then disappeared.

As I blinked slightly, feeling a tickle in my eye as his moist lips touched my face, I heard his laughter again.

He stands up and the empty seat next to him feels empty.

Perhaps his body hadn't yet woken up, his fingertips were stiff and didn't move easily, unlike his complex mind.

Strangely, even if I brush my hair back again to relieve my throbbing heart, or if I touch the tips of my nails for no reason,

..even as I sweep my eyes once more where his lips had sunk,

Like a wave that gently ripples as if it had fallen into the water's edge, but then spreads out with a single foreign object,

My heart felt strange.

I bet this feeling...

........

....

..I guess you slept quite well today.

There aren't many days when I wake up earlier than you, and when I open my eyes, you sleeping right next to me feels unfamiliar.

...Thanks to you, I feel a little better now. I've been watching you sleep for quite some time.

.....he,

Watching someone's face without them knowing is also an act against etiquette, and heaven will be very angry.

Who was the first to bury his head in my chest and sleep?

....,

I did nothing wrong. When I opened my eyes, you were there.

He sat down on the bed again, fully dressed in his royal robe.

Oh, is this the time they're supposed to serve breakfast?

The eyes of the palace maids who came in carrying a simple table looked down at me who was still on his bed.

It was quite embarrassing for me, as if I was secretly peeking at something I shouldn't have been looking at, so I also averted my head.

Actually, ...this is the first time since I became an adult that I've slept this long without waking up.

Moreover, in sleeping with someone, ... it was the first time since I was a child, when the blood still in my head, that I woke up later.

My whole body felt warm and refreshed. No, it felt refreshing, but then it suddenly stiffened subtly.

The warmth of the morning is warm and gentle, but it is also cruel.

It was difficult for that fleeting moment to completely overcome the eternity it longed for. ..and that too,

......

....

In this person's arms,

Human instinct is willing to suppress reason,

I am not entirely sure what pleasure that instinct seeks.

The danger of this person must also be due to that reason.

I was afraid that one day, when I would have to let go of his hand, I would be consumed by his warmth.

The feeling of his presence when I open my eyes in the morning

A light, slow, low laugh.

The hand that gently stroked my long hair that I only felt was cumbersome

...a gaze that was unexpectedly cold and hot. A kiss.

When I faced reality, bitter water rose in my throat.

I wish there was someone to slap me hard in the face at this time.

To my surprise, a loose laugh escaped me at that moment. Yeah, yeah.

Anyway, there should have been no one by my side.

Someone who will slap my cheek so hard it makes my head spin, someone who will stroke my cheek with rough fingertips.

widely

widely-

.....

A prison so deep and dark that the exact time cannot be determined.

At someone's movement, the body tied to the chair squirmed violently in the dust that began to rise again.

With a rough, spit-out cough.

.........

This was the second Inyoung I encountered in this damn space.
