“You have to swallow it, alright?”
“No. I don’t know.” Yernia murmured, shaking her head.
Then, she realized she was hot the instant she touched her cheek.
Yernia recklessly rubbed her cheek and gritted her teeth from the prickly pain in her stomach.
At that time, something approached her mouth and she bit on something hard.
“Don’t chew my hand.”
“Ugh.”
She was just frustrated that she couldn’t figure out who and why the person was talking to her.
It felt like stones were sitting heavily on top of her eyelids.
Yernia tried to lift her eyelashes slightly, but she gave up on it in the end.
*TUK*
Yernia’s head was tilted to the side but the unknown person was still persistent.
In the end, the person started lifting her chin which made her brows furrow from the increasing irritation.
She was about to say something but she was immediately speechless.
Something warm and soft touched her lips and immediately pushed through her open gums.
It was hot.
Yernia opened her mouth defenselessly, her eyelashes fluttering.
She couldn’t even close her mouth because of the hand tightly holding her chin.
Feeling suffocated, Yernia took a deep breath and slightly twisted her head.
Soon, she was awakened by something that came over to her tongue.
Yernia swallowed.
She didn’t know what it was, but it was so bitter that she——
*SIGH*
It wasn’t Yernia who exhaled a long sigh.
Someone seemed to have blown wind in her ear.
Yernia’s shoulders shivered from the hot breath.
Only silhouettes without faces were visible because of her blurred vision.
When Yernia blinked several times, a familiar voice said, “You swallowed it.”
What was she supposed to swallow?
Her body had recognized it before her mind did.
When she swallowed that bitter thing in her mouth, a rush of water came in but it felt strange.
The water was neither from a cup nor an opened water bottle.
Something soft touched her like when she swallowed the bitter thing earlier.
This time, the cold one opened her lips and pushed the water in.
Yernia took what was given and drank it while shaking off her blurred vision.
“Cassian?”
“Did you come to your senses?”
Yernia finally saw Cassian’s face.
“Why are you… in front of me?”
“Why? You got hurt.”
“Me? I… Oh, right. Habin is a bad….”
Nevertheless, she didn’t understand why Cassian was in front of her since he wasn’t there earlier.
He wasn’t always around when Yernia was sick so why was he here this time?
Yernia tried thinking despite her blurry mind.
Was this a dream?

“Why are you here, Cassian? You didn’t even come when I asked you to——”
Without answering, Cassian touched Yernia’s forehead as if checking her temperature.
“You ignored me even if I wrote a letter to you about me being sick. You’re the worst!”
“I told you so.”
“I was sick in the past and I’m still very sick now.”
The sadness coming over her didn’t go away easily.
Yernia had witnessed Cassian’s absence earlier.
She perfectly understood that he might have gone to the battlefield to defeat some monsters but her disappointment was too upsetting.
“You already took the medicine. You will feel better now.”
She couldn’t even hear his soothing words.
“Maybe this is just a crazy… dream.”
“Dream?”
“Yes. A dream about you. I’m sure you weren’t here before so it doesn’t make sense that you just appeared all of a sudden.”
Yernia’s body had a lot of fever.
Yernia was moved to tears because of the fever, exhaustion, and sadness that wouldn’t vanish easily.
Cassian swept Yernia’s hair, his hand gently grazing her forehead.
This Cassian in front of her felt like a dream.
After all, her childhood friend wasn’t known for being caring.
“I have reached my limit earlier.”
“So, the monster is more important even if I’m ill and hurt. I know. I understand.”
Cassian burst into laughter at her resignation.
Did he find this situation funny?
Yernia became sad.
“What should I do about my side?”
“Did it hurt a lot? Let me see.”
Cassian reached out to Yernia’s side.
The wound was already sealed and wrapped in a bandage so he only examined it carefully, making sure it was done right.
It turned out Yernia was worried about something else rather than being sick.
“This would lead to a scar. What should I do about this?”
“It can be cured since the stab wound isn’t that deep. I’ll get a potion for you.”
“Oh, no!”
She burst into tears and Cassian was at a loss.
It was only then that Yernia realized she was hugging Cassian, settling her head between his shoulder and neck.
After casting the side of her stomach with a nervous glance, Yernia looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
“Yernia, it’s alright.”
“…….”
“You can sleep. I’ll be here with you.”
He didn’t say anything more as guilt poked at his heart.
The fingertips wiping Yernia’s tears trembled with anger.
He wanted to catch Habin immediately and hurt him the same way he did his wife.
No.
He had this evil urge to make it worse but that made him worry more about Yernia’s wellbeing.
What would he do if her life wasn’t affected?
