When Jeong Da Yun opened her eyes, Cho Dae Hyun was there, his head resting on the bed beside hers.
She lifted her hand and stroked his hair softly, making him stir. "You're awake." He ran his eyes over her, checking for himself that she was fine.
Jeong Da Yun shifted a little, making space for him on the bed. "Lay with me."
Cho Dae Hyun didn't hesitate. He lay down beside her, hugging her tight to him. "I'm sorry for not coming to you sooner." His voice didn't betray him, but his trembling hands did. "I'm so sorry."
Taking hold of his hands in hers, she smiled up at him assuringly. "I won't lie. I was so scared." She brought their tangled hands to her chest. "But somewhere in me, I knew you would come and see; you saved me again."
Cho Dae Hyun didn't say anything for a few minutes. He just continues to stare at her as if she would disappear if he looked away.
"I won't let anything hurt you again, trouble. I swear on my life."
