The next day, Briel blinked as she felt a kiss on her head. She looked up and saw Erland in her arms. Ah, to be precise, it was Briel who was in Erland's arms.
After returning from the peak, the two immediately fell asleep while hugging each other. The awkwardness that they had previously felt seemed to have disappeared overnight.
"Good noon," Erland said with a smile.
"Em... It's noon, huh?" said Briel while hugging Erland lazily. She was too lazy to get up and didn't want to leave Erland's arms.
"Yes, we are back early in the morning. Fortunately, today is a holiday," said Erland.
Briel smiled. She brought her lips closer to Erland's face.
"Then good noon again," said Briel.
A kiss to Briel's good morning landed on Erland's cheek.
Erland smiled.
"Just sleep again if you're still sleepy," said Erland.
"Do you have an event today?" asked Briel.
"No," said Erland.
