Chapter 40

After the bath and they'd changed into more comfortable clothing, the two had moved to the couch in the living room. Heeseung had ordered them food from a nearby restaurant, which was very good and it filled them up well. Now, they were watching the TV. He had put on a Disney movie for her, feeling like she should relax and not be tense. Amara was more than happy to watch Disney, so she chose to watch Snow White.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that was her favorite Disney movie. It was very easy to figure out. Especially since she would get excited every time that movie was brought up. She would smile and her face would just light up like crazy. It was lovely to see.

Amar was struggling to stay awake. She was doing her best, because she wanted to watch the movie. But, she was also very exhausted and her body was sore from the beating she'd gotten. The hot bath and hot food was also a factor. She continued to keep herself awake, just because she wanted to finish Snow White.

Heeseung looked down at her, seeing she was fighting sleep. "Alright, let's get to bed," he said, breaking the silence.

He turned the TV off, which made her whine.

"I'm not tired, I want to finish the movie," she said, pouting.

"We can finish it tomorrow," he tells her getting up from the couch.

"I'm not tired!" she whined loudly.

"Yes you are. I saw you fighting to stay awake," he said, smiling.

"No I wasn't. I was just nodding my head to the movie," she argued with him.

Heeseung picked her up from the couch, laughing softly. "Sure you were. I'll believe whatever you say, Sleeping Beauty," he chuckled, carrying her to her room.

Amara continued pouting as he put her into bed. He lifted the blankets, covering her with them and tucking her in. When he'd finished, he reached over and turned off the light. She expected to have to ask him to stay with her, but she didn't. He was already climbing in to the bed with her.

When he was settled, he laid on his side and wrapping his arms around her. She made a soft noise of surprise as he pulled her close. She felt his chest against her back. He gently put his face into her shoulder, nuzzling it softly. He was always such an affection guy. This made her relax a lot and melt into his arms.

The two of them laid like that for a while. Amara stayed awake, a lot on her mind. She was exhausted, but her thoughts kept her awake. By this point, she'd assumed Heeseung had fallen asleep.

Until she felt him stir and intertwine their fingers together, "What's the matter?" he asked softly, his voice filling the silence.

"Just thinking. I'm trying not to, though," she whispered, sighing.

He tightened his arms around her slightly. She felt him bury his face into her neck, his breath hitting her skin.

"Just close your eyes and relax," he said softly,

Amara did as he said, closing her eyes. She breathed softly, trying to relax. She could feel her body losing its tension and going limp.

"Try to think about things like the ocean or the beach. Something big and endless," Heeseung spoke softly in her ear, trying to help her.

It was working. He always seemed to have that ability. He would always manage to help her relax and feel better, when she was having a hard time or when she was stressed. It was like a special power he had. Amara didn't know if it was because of his voice or just his presence. All she knew, was that it always worked. There has yet to be a moment, where it didn't work.

Heeseung felt her go fully limp in his arms. He lifted his head and looked at her, seeing her face was much more peaceful. Her breathing was much slower. He smiled, seeing she'd fallen asleep. He put a soft kiss on her cheek, relaxing himself.

"Goodnight, orchid," he said softly, closing his eyes.

It didn't take long for him to fall asleep. He was tired just like her, so he passed out easily.
