Nicholas pushed over his days by avoiding the elder. It was quite hard but he knew he was not ready yet to face Dan-oh.

It will break him into fragments if she rejects him once more.

"Appa…?"
The little one poked the arm of the brunnete.
"Did you fight with Eomma?"

"No sweetheart, I'm just sick."
He let out a sigh.

Nicholas hated lies.

But for Yelin, he would lie to retain her happiness. 

"Ow! I know what to do! Come with me,"
He resisted at first but eventually gave up. 

Yelin dragged him through the corridors to a particular room he was familiar with. The door opened revealing Dan-oh seated by the window, practicing a little magic trick with ribbons.

"Noona…"
Nicholas mumbled and as soon as she noticed his presence, Dan-oh didn't waste any second to engulf the younger in a tight hug.

Embracing and sharing warmth was their love language.

"I'm sorry…"
She mumbled against the crook of his neck.

"I'm sorry for lying…"
She broke the hug and looked forthright into the latter's unclear irises.

"I'm sorry for lying that I don't want to be with you…"
Dan-oh joined her forehead with the brunette.

"I can't be anywhere else than beside you, love."

Dan-oh put Yelin to take a nap and went back to Nicholas who was resting on the bed opposite of hers.

The elder sat beside him and rested her head on Nicholas' chest, giving attention to the rhythmic compactions of his heart.

The heart which belonged to her.

"Nicho..."
She murmured, earning a weary nod from the latter.

"I will tell you everything…"
Nicholas opened his eyes after hearing out Dan-oh.

"Then tell me why you left me…"
