My true identity, which led to my political marriage, is half-human, half-beast.
15. I asked if you were taking sleeping pills?

"The surgery went well...



김여주
Hmm...

I woke up to the sound of people talking around me.

His head was throbbing, and he seemed to have been quite injured.

I tried moving my fingers little by little, but it wasn't easy.

I slowly opened my eyes and blinked at the ceiling I saw.

And then I quietly called out the name that suddenly came to mind.



김여주
...Jungkook.


Then, Jeongguk, who was nearby, came up to me.


전정국
are you okay?


전정국
Are you awake?


전정국
Just a moment, I'll call the teacher.


As he was about to leave again, I grabbed his wrist without realizing it.

Then he smiled faintly and went out.

의사
After observing for about a week, if there are no abnormalities, you can be discharged.


전정국
thank you


With those words, the doctor left, leaving only Jeong-guk and me in the hospital room.

I broke the silence and cautiously opened my mouth when I saw him in a neat suit with his tie loosened, as if he had just come from work in a hurry.



김여주
...


김여주
...What about the company?


전정국
Is the company important now?


전정국
The female protagonist is injured.

I just bit my lip at Jeongguk's words.

Seeing me apologizing, Jeongguk smiled and said.


전정국
And I'm the chairman's son.

I said, smiling faintly at his joke.


김여주
That's an abuse of power.

Jeongguk smiled and shrugged.



김여주
...sorry.


김여주
You said it was an important document...


전정국
no.


전정국
Rather, I feel sorry.


전정국
This happened because I left the documents behind.


김여주
...


전정국
Sleep a little more,


전정국
I'll wake you up when it's time for dinner.

I nodded slightly a couple of times at his words and closed my eyes.


I think I felt a warm hand wrapping around my hand just before I fell asleep.

11:12 PM


김여주
...Are you going to sleep here?


I was startled and asked him as he spread out a blanket on the sofa in the hospital room.


전정국
yes.


김여주
Why did you leave a perfectly good house...


전정국
Because the heroine is here.


김여주
...


전정국
And anyway, I can't sleep even when I get home.


김여주
yes?


전정국
Have you asked this before?


전정국
Are you taking sleeping pills?


김여주
...


전정국
I ate it, originally.


전정국
I can't sleep without someone next to me.


전정국
That's why I asked Yeoju to sleep with me.


김여주
Then why didn't you sleep the night I arrived late?


전정국
I've been sleeping well since I slept with Yeoju.


전정국
I can't sleep again because the heroine isn't here.


전정국
But now there are no sleeping pills, so.


I see.

As one question was resolved, more questions arose.


After he finished speaking, there was a rather long silence. Then, Jeongguk sat down on the chair next to the bed, stroked my head a few times, and spoke.


전정국
Go to sleep now, it's late.

I looked at him quietly and closed my eyes.
