⠀ ⠀⠀⠀“Now look at that.. and here I thought you wouldn't be the type of man with a touch of humor.” ⠀

Due to the abrupt collision, he managed to maintain an intact position, although taken aback by the incident. “Who the hell runs down the street like that?” he exclaimed in disbelief, drawing nearer and then kneeling down cautiously and in a slow pace. “Are you okay, though?”

|| I really need to be more active on here.

Found himself pondering the sudden transformation in @Luvaracci's appearance.

The man slightly leaned in to encircle the woman's frame, holding her in his arms with a protective aura. “What happened….?”

A tiny bead of sweat emerged on his forehead upon seeing the girl he cared for in such a reduced size. Nonetheless, he kept her close against him. “It seems like I'll have to take care of you for a while. Do your spells have a long duration?”

He quirked an eyebrow momentarily, the fall hadn't really been that serious... Was he overstating it? “Sure.” Nevertheless, without any delay, he grabbed the individual by the arm to raise him with an essential but delicate force.

⁉️ A mixture of bewilderment and confusion crossed his expression, a whole week was way too much. “You can't be serious...”

⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ He's a deep sleeper. Needs to try harder to wake him up. ⠀

⠀ Eyes widen, an immediate defensive response causing him to slap his hand away. “Uh—— What the hell do you think you're doing?” ⠀

⠀ “You came seeking vengeance, didn’t you? I had a wonderful dream going on.” He let out a subtle sigh, rubbing his eyes. ⠀

⠀ “Mhm, it was about me succeeding in life in different matters. And hey, there are better ways of waking someone up rather than letting them suffocate.” ⠀

⠀ “Blowing on my face or giving a few touches here and there would've been a better alternative. You were a bit harsh, Jinwoo.” ⠀

⠀ In reaction to his impolite action earlier, a soft flick was directed at his forehead. “You're a little insensitive with me, friend.” ⠀

⠀ There was no way he could avoid a chuckle come out his lips due the other’s reaction. “I am merely teasing you, stop apologizing.” ⠀

⠀ The man's countenance stayed undisturbed, devoid of emotion as his cheek was tugged. “Hey, why didn't you tell me that you were this dramatic? You neglected to share that small detail of you.” ⠀

⠀ “To be honest, nothing really. I'm quite intrigued by you though. You don't come across as an ordinary person, do you?” ⠀

⠀ “Oh? what do you consider interesting about me?” Now things were intriguing, and his eagerness to uncover his thoughts were almost tangible. ⠀

⠀ The interplay of those gestures acted as a catalyst, unleashing a torrent of emotions to seize control over the unfortunate man. “I've been quite exhausted recently, finding it hard to sleep properly..” ⠀

⠀ “Out there lie myriad threats, unceasing perils, vigilance must remain unwavering…” Due to the cascade of traumatic events that have unfolded over the course of his life, the prospect of ever experiencing true rest seems to elude him, a saddening reality. ⠀
