Devil's Crime || Ryeji AU (DK's Contract Sequel)

VI: "The night we met"

Ryujin's POV

"Dude, you're spacing out,"

Winter brought me back to my senses through snapping her fingers in front of me. I'm fighting the urge to sleep. I haven't slept for two days now. Yeji is also getting worried but I'm no admitting it to her. This is so dumb of me, i know. But I'm afraid to hurt her again when i forget about her.

"RJ you look like a zombie," this time it was Felix. I just rolled my eyes at him.

I just need coffee.

Yeji's POV

I'm out here with Chaeryeong as I invited her to spar with me. She's the only one i have here now that Yuna is back to hell. Plus, i want to see how their abilities differ from ours.

"Wait Yeji unnie--" she said as she dodged my attack.

"What?" i asked her.

"It's about Ryujinnie,"

I reverted my wings back as she did the same and we both sat down the grass.

"I'm worried about her health unnie, she hasn't been sleeping for two days now,"

That made me frown. Is that why she still remembers me the day after? Because when she sleeps, she forgets about me. I started shaking my head refusing to believe what she's trying to do. I gritted my teeth feeling so frustrated. This has to stop.

"Good evening, my love," she greeted me with her whisker smile.

I gave her a smile and let her kiss me. She went to my kitchen stretching her arms out while groaning. I just followed her.

"What's for dinner?" she spoke trying to act energetic.

"Me," i answered her. A smirk then formed on her lips so i slapped her lightly. This girl...

"Let's just order tonight," i said.

"Okay, hon~" she playfully responded.

She's been using almost every endearment she knows lately. I still prefer 'Yeddeong' but she's cute when she says them so it's okay.

We finished eating dinner and here i am watching her washing the dishes. We then went to the living room with her giving me a piggyback. We sat down, turned on the TV and got the blanket for the two of us.

She laid down on my lap. I played with her hair but she stopped me and just held my hand.

"Why?" i asked. I knew she didn't want it because she'll fall asleep.

"I just want to hold your hand, Yeddeong~" she cutely answered.

"Why are you doing this, Ryujin?" i asked, losing my patience.

She sat up and looked at me.

"I know you're not sleeping because of me," i told her. She looked guilty.

"Yeddeong..."

"I don't want to see you dying again--"
