After an hour, Zach's eyes were still open as he lay flat on the bed.
'I still want to sleep with her.'
He brushed his bangs backward with forceful frustration.

'Isn't that Sonia's footsteps?' he thought and sat.
The door creaked when she opened it slowly and peeked in. When her eyes landed on his figure, she stepped in and locked the door.
"Sonia? It's you, right?"
"Yes," she said as she sat on the mattress.
"I cannot sleep." She looked at her feet on top of the mat and stretched her toes.
"Um, Sonia, would you like to sleep with me then? I'll pat your head… You'll sleep faster that way," Zach said. "Of course, it would also be fine if you only came here to talk."
Sonia climbed on the bed and faced him.
"Lull me to sleep and hold me in your arms. I want to be comforted," she said, not taking her gaze off of him.
