The moon was already high on the sky, and I couldn't sleep at all. It was the middle of the night, and I didn't fall asleep even for a minute. Jungwon was sitting next to me, leaning his back against the headboard of my bed, letting me snuggle to his side. But even this didn't help me.

I was afraid for the wolves of our clan. I knew they were somewhere in the woods behind my house, guarding me, and putting their lives at risk.

"Darling.. please, try to fall asleep." he muttered softly, seeing that I was looking for a more comfortable position once again, "Ugh.. but I can't!" I groaned, getting up to a sitting position.

I was hot. Too hot. Outside, despite the night the temperature was still high, and the window in my room was closed, because I was afraid to open it which made it really warm. Even when the fan was turned on in my room, the sound of it just couldn't let me fall asleep.

The duvet landed on the floor, because its touch was just irritating me. In turn, I hugged the boy, regardless of how hot it was in the room. Every now and then I looked in his direction. His expression was focused, as if he was thinking about something really serious. He scared me a little.

I kissed him gently on the cheek, wanting to draw his attention to me. He looked into my eyes, and I felt completely lost. It was like that every time. It was enough for our eyes to just meet, and I was drowning in his immediately. They showed affection, care, tenderness. Everything I wanted, and needed.

"I love you, Jungwon." I whispered, feeling my cheeks begin to burn. I didn't know why I said it, but it just slipped out of my lips on the spur of the moment.

The feelings between us became finally clear. Being a second half means that you love your significant other completely unconditionally, no matter what. But neither of us had said it out loud before, so I felt stupid for saying this out of nowhere.
