Hi ~ !

(PS: Miray's hair is longer than in the pic~)

Miray woke up feeling warm, chest comfortably tight with sleepiness and cheek pressed up against her brother's chest.

She smiled when she felt Vince's hand on her back, drawing random shapes and images.

He was awake.

"Morning," Miray glanced at Vince, a sleepy smile curling the edges of her lips.

"Afternoon more like," Vince laughed gently, lifting a hand to brush the hair out of her eyes. "How are you feeling?" he asked softly, his hand still rubbing softly up and down her back.

He only slept for two hours, but he felt well-rested.

Miray shrugged, "Sleepy," she sighed, rubbing sleepily at her eyes with a fist.

Vince chuckled, heart swelling with adoration, "Well, my little ifrit, we need to get up, we can't sleep the whole day," he pinched her cheek softly, eyes full of warmth and gentleness.

Miray adjusted the blanket on her shoulder, "Why not, it seems like a great idea to me," She scrunched her nose cutely at him, grinning.

"I'm sure it does, lazy bean," he grinned back, eyebrows raised in amusement, "Now, up you go," he stood up and held out a hand, helping her up.

Vince would love to cuddle with her the whole day, but it won't do good to her health. The doctors always encouraged getting regular exercise. It was essential to making Miray's heart muscle stronger, which may also help her be more active without chest pain or other symptoms.

That was why Vince always found one way or another to make Miray exercise.

Miray pouted, casting her huge, doe-like eyes up at him, widening them dramatically, "Can't we just sleep the whole day?" she gazed pleadingly up at him.

Vince bit back an amused smile at his sister's melodramatic. "Of course we can," He made a show of getting back to the bed, "I was thinking of visiting the beach, but since you want to sleep..." he trailed off teasingly.

Miray's eyes lit up, and looked up at him, all the sleep vanishing. "Are you for real," she squealed, "Let's go, please, please," she begged, widening her eyes dramatically.

"Okay, calm down, I thought you wanted to sleep the whole day, though," he smirked, lifting a brow.

"Who?" Miray asked, faking ignorance, "I never said anything like that, now let's go, come on V," she pleaded, lower lip jutting out in a pout.

Vince wanted to tease her further, but unfortunately, he was extremely weak for Miray's puppy dog eyes. "Ugh, don't do that, it should be illegal," he groaned and kissed her cheek before he stood up and held a hand out to her, "Well, get up little ifrit," he teased, helping her sit up completely.

Miray chuckled, grabbing his hand to stand up. "Okay, big genie, slow down - ouch!" she winced, feeling a tingling and needles sensation in her left arm.

Vince immediately crouched down, "What's wrong," he asked worriedly.

Miray cried in pain, "M-my arm," she grimaced in pain, tears unexpectedly brimming her eyes.

Vince felt a pang of sympathy for her, "I'm sorry, babe, I guess you slept on it, and it went numb, I'll hold it up, but it will hurt a bit at first, okay?" he murmured, stroking the bangs out of the Miray's watery eyes.
