He felt something touch his neck in this strange reality that felt more like a dream. As the touch grazed his neck, he winced at the chills it gave and the goosebumps its raised.1
Come to think of it, he got hurt somewhere on his body. Knox who realised this, paused for a moment.
He saw no scars.
Was it really all just a dream then? Was his fall and the sunrise he saw all just a dream? Wounds couldn’t heal in just a day. It made more sense if everything he saw didn’t happen, but he still felt weird.
Looking down at Amy, Knox reached out his hand. He lifted the girl and laid her next to him. The girl, who was now lying precariously at the edge of the bed they were both laying on, was peacefully asleep. Knox laid next to her, stayed still, and stared at her.
“Hng…”
He slowly lifted her hair and placed it gently next to her cheek. Under the moonlight, her hair was bright orange and Knox realised her hair was the reason why he wanted to see her in the day.
“… You look like you’re sleeping well.”
An unbelievable scene just flashed across his mind. Was that a dream too?
“Reynok. Reynok. Please wake up.”
In the scene, Amy was calling him a strange name as she shook him.
“You can’t lie down here like this. Reynok. Reynok!”
The name he heard in that dream remained clearly engraved in his mind. He couldn’t get the name out of his head.
Why did she call him that? Why didn’t it feel strange?
As he tried to say it, his eyes narrowed.
He had no idea why she would call him that…
The name had felt familiar.

(Amy’s POV)
T/N: This part was a little confusing (even for me) so I’ll be saying who says what.1
(Amy) “Uhm, this is strange.”
I thought it would be nice to have nothing to do since I was sick but it wasn’t.
For the past 10 years I have always been doing something in the day, now I felt restless since I wasn’t doing anything. It seems like I have developed the traits of a professional housewife.
Oh my God. I’d rather wash the dishes than continue lying down like this. It was clear that I had been trained well. I had been in charge of this house, taking care of it whenever my sister was away.
Furthermore, since this was the only thing I was good at, I worked harder at it. Now, it had become my routine. That was why I was feeling restless.
(Amy) “Phew. Since I’m awake, I should start cleaning up first.”
My fever was still present, so my sister made sure that I was comfortably lying down. She had no choice but to feed me herbs, since we didn’t have any medicine or doctors around here. But I was frustrated with my slow recovery.
This can’t be happening. Just as the thought of preventing this came to mind, I opened my mouth.
“D-diana!”
“Amy?”
“Yup, I’m fine! My fever’s gone! My face is now cold and my towel’s still wet. So, I’m completely fine.”
The doorknob stopped turning. It would have been strange if I had been in a normal situation and my sister hadn’t come in. But in such a difficult situation, I was only grateful that she didn’t open the door.
With my hands still on Knox’s chest, I gulped nervously.
“Is that so? Hmm.”
I was now experiencing more suspense than any other horror movie just because of the separation that a thin door provided.
“You don’t have to change your clothes?”
“Huh? Yeah! I’m fine! It’s completely fine! If I change my clothes now, I’m just going to get wet again anyway. I’ll just sleep like this.”
I might have sounded desperate, but please just accept is as it is. No. Just leave. Just leave and… Fortunately, the door that I had been worrying about never opened, but I heard my sister’s voice.
“Is that so? Well, alright. It looked like I woke you up.”
“Uh, yeah! Sleep well, Diana!”
“Alright. You too.”
Even without seeing it, I could tell my sister was smiling. At the same time, I started panting like someone who had just finished running a marathon.
“… We’re saved.”
Thud. Thud.
It wasn’t until the sound of footsteps walking away was completely gone that I finally relaxed.
Before my memories of living in Korea came back to me, I had no memories of my life when I was a child.
So, of course, I went through puberty. Since then, the number of times my sister had abruptly opened the door to my room had decreased, but it was still a relief she didn’t this time around too.
Thank God for puberty …
Only then did I stare back at Knox who had been staring at me all this time. After managing to overcome such a difficult situation together, his gaze felt friendlier.
But he wasn’t saying anything.
“We were saved, right?”
“… Was it such a relief?”
“Huh? Of course, it is. We can’t get caught…”
Knox chuckled softly.1
“If you’re relieved, then it’s fine.”
At the same time, I widened my eyes and flinched.
He laughed? He just laughed a little, didn’t he?
Despite distancing myself from him a bit, my hand was still in his. Then, he brought the hand he had been holding towards his lips. I was surprised.
“There’s a scent coming from you.”
“A scent? Ah, it must be the herbs… Then, there should be a scent.”
So, could you stop coming closer to me? Instead of looking like a normal action, it looked more like he was a beast who was shoving my hand into his nose. The moment I realised that my hand was dangerously close to his lips, my cheeks flared up.
Only then, did I realised despite the fact that she was speaking like how she normally would, she was very angry. She was angrier than I thought she was.+
“For now, move out of the way.”
“D-diana, wait!”
I’ll have to first calm her down, right? Geez, these are the two people who shouldn’t be fighting with swords right now!
