When I opened my eyes, I saw a mans bare chest in front of me. It was a broad and firm chest with well-formed muscles. There were also scars everywhere.

A chest? Wasnt this the kind of scene people would typically see when they woke up after getting knocked out because of too many drinks?

My mind slowly cleared up.

Aaa

I tried to push the chest, wondering whether this was a mistake. But I have no power!

Fiona?

Someone hastily grabbed my wrist. Then I saw the owner of the chest. And I quickly felt a little reassured.

Siheok!

My throat was dry.

Wait, Ill give you water.

Sigren was fortunately wearing pants. However, when I looked at myself, I belatedly realized that I was wearing a thin undergarment. My brain tried to remember whether Id caused that kind of trouble. But nothing came to mind.

Then I saw Sigren walking towards me with a glass of water. I wanted to receive it, but unfortunately, my arms didnt move. My whole body was limp like cotton soaked in water. Eventually, Sigren held me up and brought the glass of water to my lips.

I couldnt help but feel ashamed of being treated like this. It was like I was a child.

After drinking the water, my voice started to come back a little. I also came to my senses a bit. But I could barely remember what had happened before.

Didnt I just block the Darkness?

Why is Sigren lying down with me without his clothes?

I could not comprehend the situation. Did I just die and go to heaven? Was that why I was lying in bed with the topless Sigren?

Then Sigren hugged me tightly.

Youve made people worry so much, and thats your first words

The body that embraced me was quite warm. No, it was more feverish.

Sigren caressed my hair, face, shoulders, and waist carefully as if he were touching a glass vase. It was like he was trying to confirm my existence.

I was still stunned.

Im not dead, am I?

Of course not! Sigrens voice was a bit higher than I could handle, I couldnt help but flinch.

Oh my, that surprised me.

Sigrens hand was trembling seeing my response and then stroked me as if he was trying to soothe me.

Im sorry.

Its fine But why is your body so hot? Are you having a fever?

Dont worry about my situation. And its not that I have a fever, its that your body is too cold.

Really?

Yes.

Sigren laid down while hugging me. Then he covered me with a blanket. I realized that it was only me who was covered with blankets.

Sleep again.

I understood now why he was topless. He tried to warm me up.

How long have I been sleeping?

A day. Also, you fainted to be exact.

Where are we?

Its a temporary barracks in the forest. The headquarters was destroyed because of the Darkness. I wanted to move you to the Marquis castle right away. But your condition was so bad that it was not possible to bring you there.

How are the people?

.

Sigren looked very dissatisfied.

Did.. everyone die? No way Isaac has a pregnant wife in Heilon

Everyone is safe.

Really?

Yeah.. so Please sleep. Youre still so cold.

Sigren hugged me tightly. His voice sounded like he was weeping and that made me want to stroke his hair. Unfortunately, my body was limp.

My body was in very bad shape.

Then I fell asleep at the end of that thought.

I opened my eyes as I heard birds chirping.

Sigren was still in front of me.

Is it still only a day?

The difference from yesterday was that Sigren was sleeping. Its been a long time since Ive seen his sleeping face. When I looked closely, his under eye skin was dark.

I touched his eyes for a moment. I thought he would wake up from my touch, but he didnt. He must have been very tired.

Suddenly, I felt sorry that I made him suffer, causing him a lot of trouble.

When I lowered my gaze, I saw his childhood scars on his skin. I lightly put my fingers on one of the lumpy scars. It was a lot darker than before.

It must have hurt a lot

This is nothing. For me, it was more painful to have you unconscious. Sigren whispered in a hoarse voice.

Ah.

I smiled bashfully.

Are you awake?

.

Sigren had opened his eyes. He looked at me for a moment with those dazzling eyes. But he quickly frowned slightly. How are you feeling?

Im better now. Its not like yesterday. Now I can move.

When I touched Sigren, I noticed that his body temperature was just as hot as yesterday.

Sigren took my hand that was touching his body, and held it. He then got up from bed.

Im going to ask them to prepare something to eat.

Im not sure if Im hungry.

Its because you havent eaten.

Sigren put on a shirt.

Sigren, come here. I spread my arms wide as I looked at him.

What are you doing?

I heard you cry yesterday. So I want to hug you.

Unfortunately, I couldnt do it right away yesterday because I was very sick.

Sigren suddenly looked like a lost boy. He hugged me tightly as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

I think Im really going crazy because of you.

Its okay as long as youre safe and sound

You really dont know how others feel and say whatever you want.

My feelings were getting heavier as I heard Sigrens voice trembling when he said that.
