It didn't take Jin-Yeok long to realize that, though this was a very comforting hug, I was out at a disadvantage because I was not in the best position.
And as such, he lifted me up, doing just as he watched Ki-hoon do a few days back.
"Whoa!" It was so all of a sudden that it got my heart racing in shock but he smiled at me.
I looked into his eyes. Those emerald eyes that seemed quite muddy and dark, thanks to the side effects of his withdrawal from the drug, looked clearly these days.
I was thankful that he was alright and wasn't being a slave to that drug anymore as well as not losing his mind.
He had a very tragic plot but he had gotten over it because he trusted me and did what I asked.
I bit my lip and brushed his hair back, shoving my fingers through it and staring at the sparkle in his eyes as well as that bright smile on his lips.
It wasn't a fake smile that he used to try to get what he wanted. It wasn't a facade.
It was real.
