Lloyd lifted his eyelids as she stared at him, unable to wake him up. It seemed that her gaze was too tenacious.
“You can’t sleep?”
Lloyd asked in a low voice. There was no sleepiness in his eyes.
He frowned as if his eyes were too dazzled by her, stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly.
“Sleep more.”
You’re tired. Lloyd pressed his lips like a stamp over her head, then lifted them off and whispered.
“Or, would you like me to put you to sleep?”
Aria tried to nod her head unknowingly, then paused and narrowed her eyes.
“Lloyd must have said that at dawn too…”
She still vividly remembered how Lloyd said he would put her to sleep but made it harder to fall asleep.
She remembered frantically being carried away by him, drunk with pleasure.
She was tired, as Lloyd said. It felt like she had been to heaven and hell countless times.
“That’s why you fell asleep.”
She was asleep. But rather, it’s like being exhausted and fainted. Aria looked at him and made a sullen look.
“I slept well because of Lloyd?”
“Would you like some more?”
“Then I’ll die…”
Even if it wasn’t for the strange dream, her whole body was so overworked enough to fall asleep through one day.
‘So I just had a nightmare?’
After waking up from her dream, she checked again and Lloyd was the same as usual.
Sweet and kind. His emotions were always melting hot. So the person she saw in her dream felt indescribably strange.
‘It wasn’t that he got angry. He pushed me like I was someone else.’
Like he was pushed to the brink, his reason doesn’t exist anymore. There was no way Aria would leave his side without a word in the first place.
‘Nonsense dream?’
It was embarrassing, so she just wanted to forget it.
But it was so vivid.
And to pass it on as a nonsense dream, isn’t there already a time when this happened too? On the night when the gutter rat was completely defeated.
‘It was Lloyd’s dream back then.’
He once had a dream that seemed to hint at the Valentine’s Incident. He could call it a dream come true. Because he didn’t know the future like Aria did.
‘Then, is this a warning to me too?’
Someday in the future, Aria might run away in tears, and Lloyd might catch her and spat out those menacing words.
‘No way.’
Aria placed her own hand on Lloyd’s lips as he approached to kiss her. Then he curled his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, but soon closed his eyes and kissed Aria’s palm deeply.
‘It’s absurd, but if…….’
If Aria wants to leave Lloyd’s side, there will be only one reason. When she decides that Lloyd will be in danger if she stays with her.
‘If it was that amount of risk, I would have taken it.’
Aria and Lloyd have already gone through countless crises. Even so, to choose to leave while ignoring Lloyd’s earnest request to stay by his side…….
