160 You can sleep now (1/2)

”I think I'm falling in love a little.” She finally said it loud. The air in the ward seemed to have solidified, time stopped. It seemed as if there existed only two people in this world staring at each other.

Since the time he got operated, Ira decided to reveal her emotions.

As it turns out, when recounting the events that took place, her heart screamed at him were,” Don't die?”

”I didn't even confess?”

”I didn't even tell you I love you.”

”How could you die?”

It's love. The word was more of a burden, now felt terrific. She had swallowed her emotions, feeling constant anxious insecurity. Saying it out, she felt relaxed.

”Then, I should make you fall in love with me more.”

”Ah..” In his mood, he got out of bed, forgetting he couldn't move his leg at the moment. Just sitting up and pulling the braces on the bed took much effort.

He frowned, ”Damm Leg!”

”You...lay back.” His excited response made her angry. Pointing her finger at him, she stood up.

'Idiot' She cursed him again in her heart. The man was so impulsive.

He slid back.

”If anytime in life I can't reach to you. You have to walk to me.”

His lingering voice touched her soul.

In the dim moonlight, her cheeks holding a smile looked enchanting. A fresh air current made its way to her, fluttering her fine hair.

Without hesitation, she stepped towards him. When he was expecting to touch her, she strolled to the window and closed it.

Bang!
