Natalie woke up to the sound of the alarm.

Sebastian stretched himself and rubbed his eyes.It was bright outside, and the howling wind from the previous night had blown the leaves from the trees, scattering them to the ground.

Natalie glanced at Sebastian and remembered what had happened last night.She had heard what Sebastian asked her last night.

Natalie had pretended to be asleep to buy time from answering his question.She felt an inexplicable void and unease in her heart, so she couldn’t give him an answer now.

But to her utter surprise, she had really fallen asleep.

“Why don’t you sleep longer? It’s Sunday.” Sebastian turned over and wrapped his arms around her.

The sunlight seemed to sharpen his chiseled features.But despite that, Sebastian looked gentle.He pulled Natalie closer to him.

“Today is Sunday? Oh, Gosh.I almost forgot. can’t sleep.I have something important to do.”

Natalie wriggled out of his hold and avoided meeting his eyes.Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she ran into the bathroom.

“What’s the matter?” Sebastian followed her.His jet black hair was sticking on end.His messy hair and the sleep lines on his face somehow made him look more handsome.

Natalie averted her gaze.

“I’m planning to visit Hannah.I haven’t seen her after she got discharged from the hospital.” “All right.Let’s go together.I’m free today.”

Sebastian squeezed the toothpaste onto the brush and handed it to her.

Hannah lived in the countryside. The village was surrounded by mountains.

They had to traverse the bumpy terrains to reach her house.

Sebastian got out of the bus and walked behind Natalie with bags of fruits and health drinks. Natalie led the way.

After they turned a corner, she smiled and pointed at an old house.
