The next day, Gura woke up to find herself all over Kieran.
Kieran was facing the other side while she was hugging him from the back. She quickly backed away, her face red with shame. Her heart raced uncontrollably at the lingering fragrance from Kieran.
She sighed after getting the idea that Kieran was still asleep and wouldn't know about this. But her thin shield broke instantly,
"So, finally awake?"
Kieran was already awake, maybe even earlier than her. Her face that had just regained its color again turned red like a ripe tomato.
"I-I-I--"
"No need to explain." He reassured and added under his breath which was barely audible, "I liked being close to you."
"W-What!?" Gura asked with embarrassment. Her hearing was exceptional enough to barely hear his suppressed words.
"N-Nothing, Nothing!" Kieran quickly tried to change the subject and got out of the bed.
