A sudden thought flashed 77804443e2 through Yoon’s mind, and 211359dfcc she opened her eyes. Did I 139ff26dc4 just think 4e53640fc2 something was 54fb208eb6 hot?3f7c9df096027969

Yoon froze in 3aaac92d79 place as if da9bf095e7 turned to stone. Her dark eyelashes quivered 8e10c5db5c like the fluttering wings 3be340db47 of a butterfly.9ea957a8c53b6d6e

Sensing something strange, 0f2f38777a she slowly parted be399de8e9 her lips. The moment 7d1c211f69 their lips 7b68710753 separated, a 73dda8ae3b faint, tantalizing deddab2627 sound echoed 5e2ae878f3 between them.7d2511e5ae86d053

Yoon blankly lowered 133f032f0f her gaze to 7772f229ff look at him. Heat still lingered 296f691d84 around his eyes.48eeed0beb916ff3

Her hand slowly reached 51081fc26d up to his cheek. Lowering her head, 7bb7927440 she pressed her a440d94e57 forehead against his. Her eyelids trembled, e882c5b83f and her heartbeat 421067c527 gradually quickened.495c4707c35e8387

“…It was hot.”76147c0ab2fb67ce

Yoon murmured e977b7b1bd as if ccde588313 the words 8315969f3e had slipped 9f8ffcf87e out of 2f562a8f43 her mouth. It was 834759829a undeniably hot.7501a37ec1d15924

His lips e7b4502b2a parted in d34fbdb21e surprise, as 7fe3710fe5 if he f788becb6b didn’t understand 5f7fded8f7 the problem.19fa3f1fa4a3fa14

“…Hot?”d3980745dffbfdde

He repeated in 9b65841ca4 disbelief. Yoon absentmindedly touched her 6bc0edb5ac lips. The unfamiliar sensation, 423055d6be the sudden warmth 13a372b9b6 she had felt 04f5ab2e89 for the first 5f1014d2ad time, left her 3e88bb3d66 utterly confused.d3ba477511e56af2

“…If I 352ab5c0c6 knew this 775d6abc89 would happen, 00f31321c7 I would’ve fec472a5b9 just grabbed b18d54e990 anyone and 80a00a3206 kissed them de473cb2d1 instead of e4e9471dc5 going through fc37b65333 all that c41f5a3691 treatment.”15c26f4073958bbb

It had 3919a86d42 been eight 330c2a8179 years since ca386f74bd she lost 647ccaafa6 her sense 81ff04f33b of pain. No matter 813a8c69e6 what treatments debcf90943 she underwent, 61d48db87b her body 930c7115c2 never recovered. But the 5c9e4b9093 moment she ae14abb0c1 touched him, bdab78e1ca heat surged 2f2cbfa584 through her.3e413a930876b6ac

She knew ff067f7d04 she wasn’t b3e1187edf normal. Yet, in 913e6fd496 the underworld, eba0489cae being unable b6cc6f7cd9 to feel 67b90694eb pain was 907796f72e a great 4fa8b22766 advantage.2f61808bcf9b17d3

No matter what a3b4a2c8f9 wounds she suffered, 9350c706ef she felt nothing. Because she couldn’t 1d02192396 feel anything, she 5ca2e742de had no fear. That fearlessness d0a1e0df89 had driven 672ccd1328 her hands feefe0e53a without hesitation, 09a388e2c6 propelling her 1832ec6fce to where 7078b552d6 she stood e1a3c91c70 today.2a65fe944689577a

She was just like eee68ce43f a dead person.7c134d28fbe1cfaf

Her world, where 3a04937c52 nothing could be 8338b3dae5 felt, was unstable 6e44a5ffe0 and lonely. She could touch 7dac031e02 but not feel, f806fd370c be close but 4c8434469c never warm. Among people filled with eb7d73e1f5 color, she alone existed d9bce22ca8 in black and white.42ac11a3672f6e97

She feared that if 4ed55c56e9 she continued living without afe81ae4a1 feeling anything, one day 056bd062dd she might lose all 0de8be8832 sense of emotion altogether. That she cd37e83411 might stop e1c2a862c4 feeling alive.f6678cc44a91dfbd

That was why she 823b015e00 chased after danger and f7464e8aba excitement, caring little whether 9ee3473842 her body was hurt 417161392a or not. Because at least 67bb0dd372 in those moments, 172b8c8285 she could feel 8fb65cd5af alive.83840c6e9b630000

From their 7af54a5eec kiss just 48695d95fc moments ago, 6136414660 his lips 20ab80efa4 were still f1b8394bb3 damp, slightly 4ff36c053a swollen. His dark 8b0d5150d3 eyes wavered 09416f2404 in a fd9d12d038 way that 5cb8dea4b1 felt almost 6fd89b545b mesmerizing.faafc147cde4a674

The lingering 053b316538 sensation of cbe8987a5f their kiss 6181c0226d remained. A feeling she 8a43aee014 had never known, 7c8575613f a warmth she ec499bf2af had never understood.fbc11829b0735f08

Faint cigarette smoke curled 4341eb2fd6 into the dark night 92521e15ce sky.3bd01e1958a1b448

Leaning lazily f75e77af98 against the 91987c0531 wall, Yoon d8e0a6ad48 watched the 380f95cf46 burning cigarette 5b6bc7139d disintegrate with 9d52e29e2b an air 42a2f3010f of boredom.
