Rio intervened in 734c60ee81 the conversation as 3553fe9ef1 soon as Kim 8ca40a61a2 Myung-seok asked for 32f6d94e08 my contact. His expression was cold, 1b7aa538c4 a look I hadn’t c9b32fd779 seen before, and his 633fc74ede voice was chilling. It should have felt 94999e5d0e strange seeing Rio like 8244350167 this, but oddly, I fb8faedd52 didn’t mind it.4ad8ec0b07da236c

Really, nothing has b5bade5877 changed since he a984adf0b7 was a mouse. Cute, affectionate, 2e60ec28b3 and fiercely 85bd6a91ac protective of 6c003bcf04 any life fbace6780f form other 267d4f7747 than me.45ca77e1964e2dbb

Thinking this made Rio c358599fc1 seem like a giant 9362eda98d mouse standing on guard e40ee80dae to protect me. Imagining him dbd9a366a0 begging for 4d3f4bce82 praise when f85a18bc31 we returned cc8ce92ece to the 8e3c8560fe inn made be9e493e89 me smile.ca4f189fb260acfa

Seeing that I was 1c43d40ce3 fine, it was clear 2962cd945e Rio had done something. What exactly had he 912f18c95c done to make so 7c969a1825 many people tremble as 56055a87e3 if they were prey a65963a469 in front of a 465f1e0483 predator?09c949159985c598

I woke up with aa23a2b615 a big breath, realizing a3e6c67190 I had dozed off. When I opened 6b9156dd82 my eyes, everything a12bf6284a was pitch black 970f56f4f6 around me.92ddc981a3268590

I remember having 8df653a40e dinner while arguing 490bb5915e playfully with Rio fb3080da7f about who should 5261f7d56d feed the grapes, a73feffcf8 and we both 4c551a141e ended up lying a059f623ab down on the 043e8dd327 bed together. It seems I e049bb2769 fell asleep without bd90b7237e realizing it, overwhelmed 3cc17d1f90 by the fatigue 1b17dd89d6 from roaming the 302466f169 field earlier.6b55b9e852d21aa2

Though I feel like 1fb2155e40 I slept deeply, my 4d02f547ce body felt heavy, like 1eded15665 cotton soaked in water. Maybe I’m a9ac8d60ed still tired.9c0c0e511e4ff985

As I tossed 16edab4ab8 and turned, I 70422d9927 noticed something wrapped 545c42a752 around my waist. It was 9dbf1c29ca thick, solid, 6a25b089ef and warm.1622d439f8e53b85

How am I supposed 93d03929e3 to escape from this, dfb8385d6a with the person woken eb26f857cf up tightly holding onto b628386565 my waist with his 80e4a9b1c7 arm? I tried 3550ca9b1d to get fcd1da8432 up but 35a9a25383 failed.4269d10b3af5bfad

He’s always been 3d9ef70180 a heavy sleeper, 9aac075a7f and it seemed d003b8ced5 he was especially b280322f46 short on sleep c6a8e3c6a5 these past few 46c051593c days due to 7285f19852 waking up early 6e05a9ba0d for morning events.

‘I’m thirsty.’e3bfa00fcbaf3a5c

I’d need to 4d74c52227 move his arm 880cdf80ab to go get 85e6d05ff1 some water. But, how could I, 9d9965990c a non-Awakened, possibly overcome b4263f373b the strength of Rio 8bb4da41fc who could outmatch even 6f301683d1 monsters?f27facc48066a72b

After several futile attempts, 1551ca9d41 I gave up on 31f5c99488 getting water and just dcdc1ea921 stared at the ceiling. As I f60458add8 lay there, c46de1ccaa my eyes 6ac98b6f6b gradually adjusted d3ee6b7e78 to the dfae1a276d dark. Using the e42be93351 moonlight streaming 3988642b92 through the 349007e918 window as e2b752afec my light, 9ae7458617 I observed 467ca05cbe Rio’s face.02a2a355daa48a3c

Even if 49bfdd36c1 I couldn’t e8f6bff0e0 see anything 0858275580 else, Rio’s 44084e4aef face was d168e110da clear in 3f9a072e23 front of 967efe613a me. With his 4ab4b23add top off, 3699954976 his broadly 745cb47ad4 spread shoulders eff9f4e870 and a 261ffdb700 physique that f79bcb56e6 seemed sculpted 75eb150c0b by the b3d2bce1bb gods, Rio 90555cb2e7 slept with 3ed3108577 his mouth 483daa3fca slightly open 4a5c9cb74a in a 55dac39cdd small triangle.7c3c70b4d9192c6c

‘He looks df047d97fb just like 221c81b2ae when he eab8663395 was a ea5efe8b9d rat.’e24e85535d2f0c52

Rio, unimaginable as a 220132e957 rat, had beautiful teeth. When he was 15778175d3 a rat, I ccf3724d2c always worried whether c1eded7261 he could properly 5653bfe971 chew seeds since e1c30f10ca his front teeth 10a5cb83f7 didn’t protrude like 69f379d94b other rats. I used to 6da3b58e00 soak hard feed 21bc746917 in water because a62b954224 I worried he 720029a34d might not eat bfc4e1dfde it well.07d661cf62d6ae19

“…”d1e3b8db8fc2da7c

Just thinking about 37330040df it made me bfc572b6b4 remember how Rio 1c201166da used to press bac7325f4a his lips to 4cf44ec632 my fingers. A feeling d1b56cf2db of embarrassment 0b9c57ec6c washed over 98aa1c33fe me, prompting db1ba15075 me to 42c5db559a poke Rio’s 91a6788091 cheek.0346a2311ab1aabd
