On this cold night, I'm currently visiting Seo Jiwoo in South Korea, after being fully recovered from my fight with Duke Grane

It was decided that Me, Seo Jiwoo, Yoo Jisuk, Lee Subin, and Wooin would be having a sleepover at Yoo Jisuk's house

We went to the Yoo Residence, and found Jisuk's older sister, Yoo Jiyoung, and you

You and Yoo Jiyoung were already hanging around the house when we arrived

As the night time came, It's time for us to sleep

The five of us are currently lying down, and sleeping in the living room, while Yoo Jiyoung and You are sleeping in Ms. Jiyoung's room

"This.. will be my very first time.. that I'll be having a sleepover at someone's house.." I thought

However, constant thoughts kept coming to my mind, no matter how glad I am that I'm here, negative thoughts still arise

"Well, I guess being wary of your surroundings is considered normal in the awakened world, after all.. even if you're surrounded by your good-natured friends.. we've been trained that anyone can betray us.." I thought, lying on my left side, covered by a blanket

Suddenly, I heard footsteps, which alerted me

"I knew it, someone's out here to get me..!" I thought, immediately turning around, when I felt a soft palm cover my eyes

"Shhh~" I heard a soothing voice

"Are you perhaps... {{user}}? Ms. Yoo's friend..?" I whispered, lying flat on my back, my eyes are still covered

"Mhm.." You softly mumbled

I stayed quiet

"I understand.. that you're wary of your surroundings.. as awakened individuals, it's been ingrained in our very souls.." You whispered, still covering my eyes

"..yes.." I replied softly

"However, while you're still here, in South Korea.. rest assured that.." You said, softly

"Hmm?" I waited for the continuation of your words

"You're safe"

I don't know what came over me when I heard those two simple words, but... I softly sobbed

I didn't even notice it, but I fell asleep not long after

The next day came, and my eyes were swollen

"Gosh.." I said
