After Kyung-Soo's assurance, Nivritti's lips quivered, and tears again started flowing down her face. Her breath trembled and she was about to cry loudly but instantly Kyung-Soo grabbed her shoulder and pulled her closer. He wrapped his arms around her and embraced her tightly.
She buried her face in his chest. The fast beating of his heart diverted her mind further from her own heart. The cold air that was burning her up was gone now. She was under his warm coat. The tightness of his hug slowed her heart down. Finally, she started feeling the softness of his shirt.
Everything stopped spinning. The trembling in her hands and feet was gone. Her breath was slowing down. She had her eyes closed and was cuddled up in Kyung-Soo's arms.
Kyung-Soo was not moving an inch. He just held her tightly and cut her off from other stimuli. He made sure that she was in a warm cocoon. He felt her breath getting normal and her sobbing had turned into sniffles.
