"Huh?"

Taeyeon was startled, lifted up slightly, and looked over in surprise.

Originally, Ahn Junhyuk still felt a little awkward, after all, Taeyeon was not like Yuna, who loved to pester him all day long, and coquettish in various childish ways, making him subconsciously ignore that she was already a big girl. And Taeyeon, who has always been quiet and introverted, has maintained the image of a girl in his heart since they first met two years ago, sensible, steady and even a little independent, if Yuna is regarded as a sister who does not grow up, then Taeyeon is more like a friend who is young but rich enough in his heart for him.

Because of the different impressions, he can hold Yuna and coax her to sleep without any scruples, but he often keeps his distance in the face of Taeyeon, so it is inevitable that there will be some awkwardness and embarrassment when he asks everyone to lie on the same bed.

However, Taeyeon's reaction made him adjust his mentality, Ahn Joon-hyuk smiled, lifted the sheet, leaned to the side, patted the blank space left beside him, and said with a smile: "It's uncomfortable to fall asleep on the recliner, isn't it? ”

"Uh......" The girl blushed and stared at him blankly, hesitated for a while, she nodded shyly and got off the chaise longe.

Seoul, which is located in the high latitudes, is still relatively cold at night this month, with temperatures hovering around 3-4 degrees. Out of the bed, surrounded by cold air, Taeyeon shrunk and hugged her arms tightly, her movements, which were still a little reserved, suddenly accelerated, jumped on one leg and quickly jumped on the bed, Ahn Junhyuk covered her with a quilt, and the cold was isolated outside.

It was warm.

This is the suffocating sensation transmitted by the tight heart of the girl when she puts on the quilt. The first thought that came to her mind, his breath mixed with the smell of medicine in his nose, exposed outside the quilt, and his cheeks that touched the cold air were also hot, and she felt that her face must be as red as a monkey's ass at this time.

The heartbeat is so fast, I don't know if it is a stress reaction caused by cold contraction and heat expansion, or if it has just beaten too hard, and the qi and blood of vigorous activity have hit the heart...... In the dark. The girl's eyes widened at the ceiling. Thinking wildly in his mind, his limbs were stiff like wooden sticks, and he didn't dare to move.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Although lying under the covers, there was actually a distance of about a palm's width between the two. Taeyeon was nervous and didn't dare to speak. Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't have a good time talking. The air was somewhat dull. Outside the window, a swirling leaf flew up the edge of the window, making a soft "click" sound on the glass. Taeyeon's ears moved, and she quietly wandered her gaze to look at the silhouette of him in the darkness beside her, and it felt amazing!

In the past 17 years, since she can remember, except for Kim Ji-woong, she has not slept in the same quilt with boys like today, thinking of Kim Ji-woong, Taeyeon suddenly burst into a muffled laugh.

“…… What are you laughing at?" Ahn Joon-hyuk was a little puzzled.

Taeyeon laughed like an aunt for a long time before pulling up the corners of the quilt and replying, "I remember...... Kim Ji-woong. Last time I was like this with a boy...... When I was in elementary school, I went back to my hometown one day, and there was not enough quilt there, so Jin Zhixiong and I squeezed into a bed. When I slept until midnight, I suddenly heard several bangs in the quilt, and the quilt seemed to bulge, so scared that I thought something had exploded, but it turned out to be ...... Puff haha......ha

“…………”

And then ...... And then I thought...... Call...... Will OPPA be ...... in the middle of the night? Haha......ha I can't stand it anymore...... My stomach hurts......"

“…… Taeyeon, you're a girl......" Ahn Joon-hyuk pinched his forehead with tears and laughter, and said helplessly in the laughter of the girl next to him who was almost curled up, "Why do you think about such dirty jokes all day long?"

Taeyeon, who laughed so much that she hugged her stomach, didn't care so much until a moment later, when she accidentally touched her injured toe, the laughter stopped, Taeyeon gasped for a moment and pouted: "It's obviously fun!"

"What's the fun of farting?"

"Ha......ha

“…………”

Although Taeyeon's unique penchant for dirty jokes, even exaggerated reactions, made Ahn Joon-hyuk quite helpless, but after such a break, the previous awkward atmosphere was gone, and the sleepiness disappeared along with it.

In the gap between the two, there was cold air rushing into the quilt, they drove away the warmth created by body temperature, Ahn Junhyuk pressed the corner of the quilt, looked at the silhouette of the girl next to him in the dim light, and asked softly, "Do your toes still hurt?"

Taeyeon moved slightly, most likely because he saw her toe throbbing before, and it took a long time for the girl to nod and hum.

"Alas, I forgot to tell Yuan Cheng to bring them back with some painkillers. ”

"It's okay, I heard that medicine is not good for the body, so you don't need to take it!"

Taeyeon turned over and faced him, her bright eyes could not hide the brilliance inside even in the dark, and there was a rustling sound under the quilt, and after a while, the girl's warm palm touched his chest, gently rubbing the bandage on his abdomen through the single clothes.

"Does OPPA still hurt?"

"It's kind of ...... The effect of the anesthetic passed, but the wounds were all stitched up, and it didn't feel very strong. ”

“…… But it still hurts!"

After stubbornly speaking, Taeyeon stopped talking, her hand still resting on the bandaged place on her abdomen, as if trying to identify the wound through that hand and soothe it.

Ahn Jun-hyuk was also silent, and after a long time, he suddenly asked, "Taeyeon, are you afraid?"

"What?"

"Are you afraid of me?" Ahn Joon-hyuk turned his head to look at Taeyeon in the dim vision, asking him about the doubts he had accumulated for a day, "I killed someone...... I've killed a lot of people, and tonight, more people will die because of my decision, and it may be a bit too blunt to say that, but I want to know, Taeyeon, have you ever been afraid of me? After all, my hands ...... Stained with blood!"

He raised his hand and moved his bandaged palm a few times, faintly, as if he smelled blood.

Murder is not a problem for him, the situation is critical, and if he is not careful, he and Taeyeon will fall into the hands of the enemy, and he does not know what kind of encounter he will face. His character never pinned his hopes on some illusory possibility and the mercy of the enemy, he was accustomed to taking the initiative, and the death of those men seemed to him to be an inevitable result, and he was not arrogant enough to think that he could be like Rambo, who could be seriously wounded and kill seven in and seven out of the enemy camp, so he must use all his strength with every blow to minimize the threat of the enemy.

And the least threatening enemy can obviously only be the dead.

It's just that he can pull out the sharp knife from the corpse without caring and let the blood spill all over his body, which doesn't mean that Taeyeon can accept it, and the more the girl shows her indifference all day today, the more worried he is, worried that she is pretending to be strong, worried that she will look at him with fear when she can't bear it anymore, and keep retreating and retreating from his field of vision until she disappears.

In that case, he would probably be sad!

Two years have passed, and the past time has appeared in his mind more and more frequently, and the memories of dreams and reality are intertwined, making him feel as if he has gone through decades, and his mentality is aging rapidly. When others are looking forward to the future, his eyes are looking at the past, and he likes to read through the memories of one thing and one person one by one, reminiscing about those feelings, and greedily wants to leave them in the present, to the future, until eternity!

This Ahn Jun Hyuk needs sustenance!

Listening to his inquiry, Taeyeon was silent, the quiet pin drop in the room could be heard, and the rustle of the rain outside the window changed with the wind.

“…… I'm scared!" Unexpectedly, after a long silence, Taeyeon withdrew her hand, pulled the corner of the quilt, and admitted her fear in a muffled voice.

"Oh............"

"But...... OPPA can't help it, in many movies, the good guys don't kill the bad guys, and then the bad guys escape, recuperate, and then make a comeback, catch the friends and relatives around the good guys, catch the ones who are caught, kill the ones who are killed, and even do bigger and more bad things than before......" She took a deep breath, "When I watch movies, I always scold those good people for being stupid...... Although I was scared, I didn't want OPPA to be that kind of stupid good person, so ...... So ......"

Under the quilt, filled with warm air, the girl's body gently pressed up, one hand held his hand, fingers crossed, the rough bandage could not block the delicacy between her fingers, just like her soft words ringing in his ear: "If you encounter such a thing again, oppa must not be too scruple too soft, and, you must tell me, I ...... I will always support OPPA!"

Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't know what to say for a while, but after a while, he laughed: "What, do you want to meet again?"

"Don't!" Taeyeon shook her head in a hurry.

Then I probably felt that my reaction was too intense, and the girl who shrunk under the quilt with half of her face said in a muffled voice: "It's not that I'm afraid of oppa, I'm ...... I was afraid of death, and when I searched for that person's body last night, I had to cry with fear several times, and I finally managed to hold back. After I came back, I washed my hands more than ten times, and the skin was almost rubbed off...... I didn't even dare to look into the eyes of a dead fish before......"

"Huh!"

Ahn Jun Hyuk smiled, his heart softened, he clenched the girl's fingers, and stopped talking.

The air in the room seemed to soften because of this, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside the window, it was quiet for an unknown amount of time, and the sleepiness that had disappeared was regained, and in the haze, Taeyeon's body leaned back to this side, and the soft touch of the girl's carcass fitted, "oppa...... It's a bit cold......"

He stretched out his arms and fumbled for Taeyeon to pillow his shoulder socket, then hugged her, the gap between the two was finally gone, the cold temperature no longer rushed in, patted her back, Ahn Joon-hyuk said dimly, "Sleep!"

"Hmm!"

A tuft of hair moved around his neck, and a moment later, a small hand crept around his waist.

The night was late. (To be continued......)
