[TTH] 19 – Will I be able to safely return or reincarnate, above the clouds, a week later? (3)

I was still in the dimly lit room when I opened my eyes. My head sunk into the soft pillow. The smooth texture of the sheets, the white lace blanket, and the pink wallpaper. A chandelier hung from the high ceiling.

As these came into my view, I realised I had returned. At the same time, I sensed a rustle in the air right next to me.

"Huh?" I saw a figure sitting at the edge of my bed, and the moment I realised it was Zinon, my heart skipped a beat. As I raised my upper body and squinted my just-awakened eyes, Zinon quickly turned away.

The back of his white nightclothes. His beautiful golden hair. I didn't understand why he had turned away. "Zinon?" I murmured, but Zinon tensed up and continued to face the other way, not looking back at me.

"Zinon? Why are you here? ...Can't sleep? What time is it?"

"..." Zinon held his breath, and somehow his shoulders seemed confused. I noticed the table on the side Zinon was facing.

"Could it be... you came to eat cookies?" The moment I said that Zinon quickly turned back to me.

"Wah!" Zinon grabbed both of my arms and brought his face close to mine with a furrowed brow, examining my face for some reason.

His deep blue eyes seemed to see through even my secrets. "Zinon? What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?" I felt like his gaze was piercing through me.

Then, the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and Zinon seemed to lose strength. He suddenly laughed, "Ha" and then suddenly fell silent. As I looked up at Zinon, wondering what was happening, tears welled in his deep blue eyes.

"Z, Zino..." I opened my eyes wide in surprise as Zinon reached out and hugged me tightly.

"Z, Zinon..." The force of his hug was getting stronger and stronger, and I was buried in Zinon's muscular chest, making it hard for me to breathe. But I felt a pang of excitement at his forceful embrace.

His large, warm palm cradled the back of my head, his warm breath brushed against my hair, and his husky voice whispered in my ear. "What about a kiss?"

"Huh?" His deep blue eyes captured me, and I opened my eyes wide.

"Have you ever kissed?"

"Wha...huh..." Before I could answer, my lips were already sealed.

His deep blue eyes closed at close range, and his long eyelashes lay before my eyes. Zinon's plump lips... overlapped with mine. A jolt went through my chest, making my heart flutter.

Zinon's soft lips changed angles, repeatedly kissing my lips as if savouring them, and a sweet sigh whispered between breaths.

"...Rin."

"...Huh." Every time the softness of his lips pressed against mine, my heart twisted, making me feel itchy and uncomfortable.

"Rin." The simple kiss became more and more intense. Again and again, as if devouring me, he repetitively clung to my lips. To prevent my trembling body from escaping, he held the back of my head with his palm.

"...Nnh...hu..." As my heart pounded as if it would break, tears of emotion naturally overflowed from my closed eyes and trickled down. With his lips still on my lower lip, Zinon seemed to give me a little rest, easing the kiss.

His deep blue eyes, feverishly gazing at me, whose heart was pounding and chest was heaving, without breaking the angle of the kiss. The pounding was too intense, as if I would melt and be absorbed.

"Rin..."

"Mm..." And then again, my lips were devoured. It felt as if my entire body was being attacked by a throbbing pleasure as if something was piercing and destroying my chest from above.

The strength drained out of my body, and I fell back, feeling the softness of the duvet on my back. Chasing after my falling form, Zinon covered me from above, trapping me in his chest, and his hot lips didn't leave mine.

Feeling the weight of Zinon's body on my chest, the heat, and the continuous overlapping of our entwined lips, my wrist was tightly gripped. Then, a very hot, hard, and large object hit my thigh.

Thump! My heart jumped. This... My heart began to beat painfully big as it was. I thought in my head that I couldn't turn. Why? Why? But... it wasn't supposed to get hard...

Staring in shock, Zinon lifted his face and repeated his rough breath, looking down at me from above. "Sorry." His deep blue eyes were feverish and s3xy and looked only at me. Like magic, it seemed to capture everything.

"But... I can't help it," he muttered in a slightly hoarse low voice.

"Fuu." His eyelashes fell, and a sweet kiss was dropped on my lips again.

It's over. I can't take it anymore. As if surrendering, I closed my eyes. I can't escape from these magical eyes anymore.
