Adjusting to the fugitive lifestyle was... tough, to say the least.

Everything changed so drastically overnight. You were lucky that you still had your dearest childhood friends, Hak and Yona; Although the betrayal of Soo-Won hit heavy with all of you.

Nonetheless, you must carry on for their sakes. You had a duty to fulfill as Yona's faithful retainer, after all. If anything, you need to stay strong to reassure her.

Hak must've noticed your change in demeanor. It was unusual for you to be so serious and gloomy. So, whenever it was just the two of you, he teases you more than usual, wanting to bring a smile to your face.

One night you sat staring at the fireplace which crackled with warmth, hugging your thin blanket over your shoulders. A few feet away from you, Yona was already fast asleep, leaving you to your thoughts.

"Can't sleep?" A familiar voice chimed, the dark-haired male taking a seat next to you. You could practically feel the way Hak was looking at you, as if silently studying your demeanor.
