My whole body was numb.
But that didn't wake me up from sleep.
Sarak. Sarak.
There was a friendly stroke on my head.
"Hmm."
As I pushed my heavy eyelids up and opened my eyes, a view of the room I had become accustomed to in a few days came into view.
A pillow that fell under the bed, a silk cover pushed at my feet, and Perez's eyes looking down at me.
The blonde hair that had mesmerized me had disappeared, and his original black hair had returned.
Last night, while taking a bath together, we removed the dye that was dyeing each other's hair.
It was something I did half-impulsively, like when I first changed my hair color, but seeing the familiar black hair I saw as soon as I opened my eyes was so welcome; it seemed like a good thing.
Especially since my hair is long, it took quite a while, but Perez carefully removed the black dye with great care.
Then.
And then...
"Beast."
I said, squinting at Perez.
I could only express it with these words to Perez, who coveted me.
Everything started that night, the very night when there was a fireworks display.
He hesitated so cautiously outside the room door.
Then the guy who entered the room holding my hand changed suddenly.
It was like a hound with a broken leash.
No, I must have loosened the leash with my hand.
"It's been a few days already."
I patted my back, which seemed tight, and buried my face on the pillow.
As if drunk with strong alcohol, I looked back on the memories that remained sparse.
The night, which began with the sound of fireworks bursting from the outside, ended only after seeing the morning star.
When the morning sun came up, I woke up at the touch of my hands, wiped my body, and did it again.
And it was only when the sun went down that I barely woke up, ate the meal he had brought me, and once again.
And again.....
As I recalled the last few days when I had no clothes to wear, I could feel my face getting hot.
"Perez."
"Yes, Tia."
He answered very sweetly.
I was sweeping my hair, which flowed forward.
But now I don't fall for it.
His neat appearance with the shirt button fastened to the bottom of the neck is as neat as that of a person who just went to work a while ago.
But I'm not used to seeing Perez approaching me as he unbuttoned that button...
"I mean. Are you really good at everything you do with your body?"
"Hmm."
Perez laughed bashfully.
It was a smile that seemed to be shy at first glance, but it was not.
That face, which strangely pulled the corners of his mouth upwards, is rather.
"Tia."
His rough, long fingers passed by the sides of my ears and greedily combed my hair.
