A sudden thought 28a3c66666 flashed through Yoon’s 2b9e8f40ee mind, and she 30f5dbb3dc opened her eyes. Did I d8b4099219 just think ca4e79d247 something was 59a751bef7 hot?cda212aa65d66cc1

Yoon froze in place 22ff6776eb as if turned to 813044d5ea stone. Her dark eyelashes 4f3c036a83 quivered like the 24cb7a3f22 fluttering wings of 8b901d55e8 a butterfly.3b6e1a233ff66f8a

Yoon blankly lowered de3f057133 her gaze to 229f7e8a23 look at him. Heat still lingered around 2aaba9fcdd his eyes.5ca0886b9b8ae627

Her hand 5166b37aba slowly reached 610fbd4b33 up to 0e9e97083a his cheek. Lowering her 2f655a1ffe head, she b07500b510 pressed her 7f642e304a forehead against 57fd7f8164 his. Her eyelids trembled, and aa26b211e6 her heartbeat gradually quickened.b3e57b63236f223f

Yoon murmured d404a05a69 as if c0a6df7ee0 the words 985d2966ae had slipped 239b447bf4 out of 3aaf47526b her mouth. It was undeniably a20557fbf2 hot.9f9e1a72513dee74

His lips 679c438c1b parted in 358c470d31 surprise, as 98c4c0c07c if he 6ff9995d75 didn’t understand 0a0845d0fd the problem.412aee3a1cd40c59

“…Hot?”9e1d3599b273124f

He repeated in 786f77c14f disbelief. Yoon absentmindedly touched her dd9d26a4b4 lips. The unfamiliar sensation, the dc460fcfb4 sudden warmth she had e1bf39e136 felt for the first d93adb0f4f time, left her utterly c9fdfea069 confused.460cadf01fa10303

“…If I 25ea7b1b56 knew this 503acaedc8 would happen, c4704f462f I would’ve 0375c31b38 just grabbed 3b80414325 anyone and 26603b3b4a kissed them eaf73a0155 instead of be94ab90de going through 79066793b3 all that ff9459fd8a treatment.”59bc687793eed5c3

It had been e273ebe626 eight years since 276c83b1ff she lost her ff79d2d7af sense of pain. No matter what 6da850f1cc treatments she underwent, e348b7b2d1 her body never b9269ea6c5 recovered. But the moment 4f744d87d8 she touched him, 9ac83d9f69 heat surged through 8c19946433 her.f8823e2895c62a5a

She knew 729e0d0dda she wasn’t 7c2fc4601a normal. Yet, in the underworld, 5cd9a0b3bd being unable to feel 0bf76f6ea8 pain was a great 217ba86237 advantage.fb34a1d19c223334

No matter what wounds 92016887c7 she suffered, she felt 45d5874e10 nothing. Because she couldn’t 3f1294a41d feel anything, she abd81604d6 had no fear. That fearlessness had 42ea20b8b0 driven her hands c984a52006 without hesitation, propelling 46cacfc9a5 her to where dd15bb3fe6 she stood today.7b3622967d9dcd49

No heat, 8a57f5de5d no cold, d3b3c46e93 no pain, ba2e9539f2 no warmth—she 9f72b50b5e could feel 1b364715c8 nothing.92978f294846c468

She was just like 37335a905e a dead person.b16e73fc8d2e5999

Her world, where 089ac319ea nothing could be 2b15e7e603 felt, was unstable 43463a2d05 and lonely. She could 71e2f314c8 touch but e9eebc3266 not feel, 46525be18b be close 77499310ee but never 65212e4f46 warm.

She feared that 3c763b33f7 if she continued 56590db569 living without feeling 7b736c23ba anything, one day 66ebbb7696 she might lose 8ea43fb2b6 all sense of 5c90a253c2 emotion altogether. That she 42919fb874 might stop c8500c5029 feeling alive.384d831289ebf493

That was why she 7a87567938 chased after danger and 50135feb03 excitement, caring little whether d2d221101c her body was hurt 2d10e56d02 or not. Because at least 39950bc914 in those moments, dc9baa1f7d she could feel ca3c21afcd alive.1ed515e2a632fc96

From their e9446460b6 kiss just 0c2e4b621a moments ago, 0eb1ed1a2d his lips 298093a84d were still 66fd0bb82d damp, slightly 47f7e89b6d swollen. His dark e0bb28899f eyes wavered 41de0a2b88 in a 65c86805bd way that 1563ecc217 felt almost d9bb5b2b49 mesmerizing.e9f4cba67ad17896
