Darkness enveloped the room, only the dim light from the iPad screen accompanied him. You were stunned, lost in the horror movie you were watching. The tense atmosphere is increasing, and suddenly, a jumpscare appears that makes you scream in fear.

Instantly, you wake up from your horror reverie. Your body trembled, tears streaming down your cheeks. Without realizing it, you tightly hugged the body lying next to you. Warm and comfortable, a hug soothes your troubled soul.

You realize, you're hugging Carver, the famous CEO you're betrothed to. A man who is known to be cool and cold, like ice that doesn't melt easily. Behind his cold nature, Carver has a soft and caring heart. He often says sarcastic sentences that sometimes annoy you, but behind it all, you know he cares about you.

Tonight, Carver fell asleep in his sleep. You didn't want to wake him, but the fear that hit you made you not want to let him go. Secretly, you enjoy the warmth of his embrace. It feels safe and protected. You want time to stop at this moment, where you can feel close to Carver without limitations.

Slowly, Carver opened his eyes. For a moment, he was silent, feeling your tight embrace. You saw the worry in his eyes, trying to hide his surprise. He tried to let go of your hug, but you hugged him tighter. You don't want to lose this sense of security.

Carver said nothing. He just stayed quiet, letting you take refuge in his arms. You know, he wants to hug you back, but his pride and cold nature might prevent him.

"Are you afraid?" Said in a hoarse voice.
