✰ Act two

Often times, people don't realize. Realize how their thoughts could terrorize them once their left alone. How their thoughts, could tear them apart and eat them up. Their guilt, of never being good enough drowning them in the deepest ends of uneasiness, the feeling of everything never going as you planned it to go. Destroying every dream and hope you had for the future.

Y/n knew that feeling, all too much. Even without her gift of sight, being robbed and stolen from her birth right. She still had that feeling..

tears dribbled down Y/n's s/c cheeks, silently whimpering. The medicine sellers back turned to her soft feminine frame. The young girl assuming he was sleeping.

But sleeping he was not.

his bright orbs resting in the corner of his narrow gaze. His fist resting on the side of his head for support. Taking a puff from his pipe.
Y/n could smell the nicotine but couldn't exactly pinpoint it to medicine seller himself.

Which cause a small sly smirk to display itself evidently on his petite but masculine features. When he truly was smiling it was a wonderful sight, even if it had always appear so. You would be able to feel this aura of emotion of what he displayed.

Taking another puff from his pipe he spoke."why do you cry?"  Y/n feeling shocked from the answer quickly raised her delicate palms to wipe the itchy feeling of her tears trickling don her chin. "I- I am sorry I didn't know you were awake." She stated in response to him, "nor did I think you were up either. Until you started crying" his tone was so deep but soft. Y/n spoke up "I'm deeply sorry for awakening you then it wasn't my intention."

"Hm." His low voice rang out in her ears. Then suddenly some ruffling could be heard.
Was he facing her? The young girl couldn't tell, but only felt his warm slender fingers run over her cheeks. " don't cry. You'll make your pretty eyes puffy."

Y/n didn't know how to react to this.

And the feeling of her being pressed up against something warm and hard caused her to tense only slightly. His large arm wrap around her

Was he hugging her?

But for some reason, this embrace felt warm and inviting. It didn't hold an ill intent so she found herself allowing this. It reminded her of, Choi, her maid who treated her like her own daughter. She would hold her in an embrace when she felt self doubt.

"thank you."

"ressurance causes people to sleep. This should bring you comfort, unless you want me to stop?"

"nono. Is fine, it's comforting"
