☾ ¦ 022 Guest Room

@♤ ¦ Lee Hongbin Nana momentarily closed her eyes and allowed the warmth of his chaste kiss to seep into her body, causing a smile tingle of excitement inside. The moment she had seen how teary his eyes looked in the mirror, she couldn't help but mentally panic, though her words seemed to have a certain effect on the boy. Love was a very strong word indeed; embroidered with many different meanings, though it always meant something good. He didn't know how happy she felt to hear that he would stay with her to the very end. A small smile graced her lips as she closed her eyes momentarily, wanting to savor the feeling of him holding her, a small part of the ice covering her heart cracking. not enough to free her from the curse her parents had ignited when she was younger; no, it would never be enough, but it was a start. A beginning to something precious, something passionate, something sweet. How did she deserve the love of someone as pure and handsome such as him?

It was now or never if Nana wanted to break through as much of the cursed ice and thorns that were entangled around the source of her life. Looking up into his dark eyes, her hands moved up to trace Hongbin's sharp cheekbones, ghosting over his skin until they reached his pink lips, tracing the outline of them gently. It seriously was now or never. Unable to tear her eyes away from his, the girl got on her tiptoes and slowly, carefully, leaned up until her lips barely brushed his, quickly pulling back. She really hoped she wasn't going to get a negative response for acting that way. "Ah...sorry," Nana whispered, looking to the side, not wanting to meet his eyes, another flush appearing on her cheeks.

Yui led the girl up the stairs and to the front of the guest's door. Her face was blank, though her eyes were saying something different. The maid unlocked the door and opened it. She stood back and waited for the girl to go inside. "This is your room, Miss Nana Im. Stay inside until we call you for dinner," she smiled an empty smile as she watched the girl go inside. "Remember to lock your door," Yui said, and with that the door was closed.
