Chapter 20 - Sleep with me

"Thank you, System," I said, grateful for the help.

[You're welcome, Jiyeon. Remember, it's important to take care of yourself during this time. If you need any further assistance, don't hesitate to ask.]

With the system's guidance, I felt more confident in managing my estrus. Taking a deep breath, I made my way back to my room to get ready for the day ahead.

After dressing, I quickly found an inhibitor and took it. It seemed to help calm me down, although I still felt a slight fever. Just as I was trying to adjust to the feeling, there was a knock on the door. I called for the person to come in, and a servant entered, carrying breakfast. She explained that Yura had sent it for me and instructed me to rest.

I ate quickly before following Yura's advice, deciding to lie down and rest. I closed my eyes and fell asleep within minutes.

A few hours passed, and then I felt something touching my face. I opened my eyes to find Yura gently caressing my cheek. I was immediately aware of the potential danger of Yura being so close to me during my estrus period, but to my surprise, instead of feeling the need to mark her, I felt nothing but affection towards her.

"Yura?" I said, my voice soft.

"Shh, don't worry, Jiyeon. I'm just here to take care of you," she said, her voice gentle.

Despite the warning signs flashing in my mind, I couldn't bring myself to push Yura away. Instead, I found myself leaning into her touch, relishing the feeling of her hand against my skin.

Yura smiled, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "You're so cute when you're like this, Jiyeon," she said, her tone teasing.

I blushed at her words, feeling a rush of warmth spread through me. "I...I am?" I asked, feeling a little self-conscious.

Yura nodded, her smile widening. "Yes, you are. In fact, you're adorable," she replied, her hand still caressing my cheek.

I couldn't help but smile at her words, feeling a sense of happiness wash over me. It was strange to feel so vulnerable and yet so safe at the same time.

"Come on, let's have some fun," Yura said, her eyes twinkling with excitement.

Before I could protest, Yura was pulling me out of bed and leading me to my closet. She began rummaging through my clothes, pulling out various outfits and holding them up for me to see.

"How about this one?" she asked, holding up a bright pink dress with ruffles.

I looked at the dress and couldn't help but laugh. It was the sort of thing I would never wear, but for some reason, I found myself nodding in agreement.

"Sure, why not?" I said, surprising even myself.

Yura grinned and helped me into the dress, giggling all the while. Once I was dressed, she stepped back to admire her handiwork, her eyes shining with delight.

"You look adorable, Jiyeon," she said, her voice filled with genuine affection.

I blushed at her words, feeling a little self-conscious but also strangely happy. It was nice to see Yura so happy, and if wearing a ridiculous dress could make her smile, then I was more than happy to oblige.

Yura didn't stop there. She continued to pull out more outfits, each one more outrageous than the last. From frilly skirts to oversized hats, she seemed determined to try them all.

Throughout it all, I couldn't help but laugh. It was ridiculous, but it was also a lot of fun. And seeing Yura's face light up with joy made it all worth it.

At one point, Yura handed me a pair of oversized sunglasses and a feather boa, then posed me in front of the mirror.

"Perfect!" she exclaimed, snapping a picture with her phone.

"Wait, what are you doing?" I asked, feeling a little self-conscious.

"I'm taking a picture of you, silly! You look so cute!" Yura replied, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

I blushed at her words but couldn't help but smile. Despite the ridiculousness of the situation, I was having a great time.

As the afternoon wore on, Yura continued to come up with more and more ridiculous outfits for me to try on. Each one was more embarrassing than the last, but I didn't care. Seeing Yura so happy was worth it.

Eventually, Yura ran out of outfits, and we collapsed onto the bed, breathless with laughter.

As lunchtime approached, I noticed Yura preparing to leave to fetch lunch. Suddenly, the thought of being alone filled me with anxiety. I reached out and grabbed her hand, pulling her back towards me.

"Don't go, stay with me," I said, my voice betraying my vulnerability and need.

Yura looked surprised at first. "Jiyeon, I just need to go get lunch," she protested gently, trying to disentangle her hand from mine.

Feeling a pang of desperation, I tightened my grip. "No, stay with me," I insisted, my eyes pleading with her to understand.

Yura's expression softened, and she sighed, realizing how important this was to me. She reached for her phone, deciding to call a servant to bring us lunch instead.

When the servant arrived with our lunch, I still hadn't let go of Yura's hand. She set the food down on the table with a kind smile before leaving us alone. We began to eat, and eventually, I released Yura from my embrace.

"Jiyeon, do you love me?" Yura suddenly asked, her eyes searching mine.

Her question caught me off guard, but I didn't hesitate. "Yes, I love you very much," I replied, feeling my heart swell with emotion.

A warm smile spread across Yura's face. "Then promise me you won't get too close to other omegas. It would make me really sad," she said, reaching out to stroke my cheek gently.

I nodded, understanding. "Yes, I promise. I won't get too close to other omegas," I assured her.

After lunch, we spent the rest of the day together, enjoying each other's company. Yura kept me entertained with her playful antics, and I couldn't help but laugh at her silliness. Despite my worries about my first estrus, spending the day with Yura made me forget all about my fears.

As the day drew to a close, Yura suggested we watch a movie together. We settled on a romantic comedy and snuggled up on the couch, enjoying each other's warmth.

As the movie ended, Yura yawned and stretched. "I think it's time for bed," she said, rubbing her eyes tiredly.

I nodded in agreement, feeling exhaustion creeping up on me as well. "Yeah, I'm feeling pretty tired too," I admitted, stifling a yawn.

Together, we made our way to my bedroom, where Yura helped me get ready for bed. She tucked me in and kissed me goodnight before heading to her own room. However, I couldn't let her go.

"Sleep with me," I said, tears welling up in my eyes.
