“I’ll stay here till you fall asleep.”
“Okay. By the way, Amy.”
“Yes?”
“If I sleep now, can I not sleep at night?”1
What? My eyes widened as I looked at Knox.
After he spoke, he looked at me with eyes filled with fear and stubbornly sealed his mouth. He looked restless, probably because he was afraid that he would not be allowed to do so.
“Why?”
I replied with a question.
“So that I can be with you, even at night.”
I couldn’t possibly give him a reply to that.
‘… But aren’t we already together?’
“Can I not sleep?”
“No, it’s not that you can’t… No, it’s probably not possible.”
“Why?”
“At night… I still have things to do at night.”
I couldn’t just say, ‘I already see you at night when your adult form.’
Although it wouldn’t change much even if I told him, I couldn’t tell a child who had a boiling fever such a shocking truth. Even if I do tell him, I have to say it when he is in good health.
I scratched my cheek. Knox held onto me tightly, as if I would throw him away before saying carefully
“Who are you seeing at night?”1
“H-huh? O-oh. You’ll see when you see.”
In a daze, I almost said the truth.
Knox’s eyes stared straight at me.
“Who do you go to see at night?”
‘You.’
Dusk arrived and the sun dyed all the furniture scarlet. The light reached as far as Knox’s bed, as he laid there sleeping.
Huuu…haaa
The child fell asleep peacefully while breathing in small breaths as if he didn’t have a wound on his back.
The curtains fluttered.
There was a bookshelf next to the child’s bed. I turned my head towards it as I wanted to read a book.
‘I think I have to start preparing for dinner soon.’
That said, how do I remove his hand from me?
Knox had a tight grip on one of my sleeves. Every time I tried to remove them he would open his eyes. He would give me a look as if I had betrayed to him. Even though the boy may look like he would be weak forever, the male lead will always be the male lead.
I couldn’t just leave the child that would cry over me leaving.
This is a big problem. I still have to do the laundry, fold the dried sheets, and make dinner by tomorrow morning.
“I don’t feel sick.”
I guess he did look better than yesterday, but why wouldn’t he feel sick? Since he was sick he shouldn’t be able to carry on with life like normal, but his eyes were as calm as usual.
Rather, I was the one feeling awkward with his arms around me.
“Uhm. So, what I’m trying to say is that it’s common sense to ask for permission before touching someone.”
“Common sense.”
“Yes, common sense.”
For a while, I didn’t know what else to say. Knox continued to stare at me.
“I didn’t know.”
‘Now that you know, can you please let go of me now?’ was what I was about to say but Knox beat me to it.
“From now on, how about you teach me common sense?”
“… What?”
“Weren’t you… determined to bring me here?”
I mean, who would be determined to bring people into their homes? No, I mean, what kind of determination was he talking about? Determined to do what exactly?
(T/N: I’m not exactly sure whether I translated this part correctly because I was basing it more off the context instead of translating what she said. I had no idea what she was saying ;P)

“Diana!”
When Diana turned her head around, she was met by a panting man, Hans.
“What’s going on?”
