Ugh. Kanna swallowed her moans inside her. She barely lifted her heavy eyelids.

'How many days has it been?'

It must have been about three days since she came to her senses. It only hurt that much and it was poison.

Ugh. It was stronger than she thought.

'I didn't know it would hurt this much."

But...

Kanna grinned. The poison seemed to have done its job as she saw Kalen dozing off while sitting on the bedside chair with his arms crossed. It was then. Did he sense a presence? Kallen lifted his face.

"Are you awake? Can you hear me? Please answer me."

Kallen's complexion turned pale.

"Wait a moment, just a moment. I'll call the doctor."

Soon, a doctor came in and announced that Kanna had fully recovered.

"But there may be aftereffects, so you need to take care of yourself for a while."

Kallen's relieved expression at that time. Kanna suppressed her sneer.

'I didn't know it would work this far.'

It was a good thing she took poison and stood in the rain.

'Because it's a poison with no aftereffects. If I suffer for a few days, you will be completely cured.'

Although it took a few days, it was worth it. She brought back all of Kallen's guilt and pity.

"Are you okay?"

Kallen came in personally carrying the medicine.

"Take your medicine."

"Thank you."

Kanna weakly drank the medicine.

'Yuck.'

Was it revealed on his face? Kallen held out a small piece of candy.

'What?'

At that moment, a feeling of rejection struck me. She doesn't want to take the candy Kalen gives her...

***

'There's no need to hit your hand and drop the candy on the floor!'

She wants to shout. But it would be foolish to refuse his favor now. Kanna took the candy, making a grateful expression on her face. She put it in her mouth and rolled it around.

It tastes like strawberry.

It's so cliché.

"Thank you."

"No."

Then he wanders around the room as if he has something to say. Kanna expected what he would say, but she tilted her head, pretending to know nothing.

After a while, Kallen spoke as if she had made up her mind.

"Sorry."

Kanna knew he would say that. But Kanna opened her eyes wide as if she was surprised.

"You went through this hardship because of me."

"No."

"I am truly sorry."

Kanna smiled darkly and lowered her head.

"I think I've been harsh on you all along. He only said bad things and acted coldly. So it's natural for you to ignore me."

"No."

Kallen quickly cut her off.

"No. Don't say that. It all happened because I was narrow-minded."
