Morning came quietly.
Jae-hyun had been awake for a while.
He didn't move.
Didn't even try.
Because if he did, he might wake her.
Kendella had fallen asleep in the middle of a sentence, she was slumped awkwardly beside him, half on the chair, half leaning against the bed like she had lost the fight to stay awake sometime in the night. Her hand was still resting near his, fingers barely brushing his wrist, as if she had refused to let go even in her sleep.
Her hair was a mess, her face bare, but to him, she looked like a miracle.
He stared at her obsessively.
Like he was trying to memorize every detail in case the universe tried to take her away next.
