Summary: She hopes to take away his darkness.

-------------

She watched him sleeping again as she placed the phone aside with her own. Sijin slept soundly still. She was worried that the sedative she used to get him to sleep was not enough to keep him unconscious for too long. She remembered what happened with Ahn Jeongjun last time, so she was being cautious. But then in that guy's case, it's probably because he pulled out his IV before the sedatives could do their job.

So she was glad that it worked. She's not sure what she could have done if it didn't. These particular soldiers did seem to have a different level of tolerance to sedatives and anaesthesia after all. Supposed it's a Special Force soldier thing.

"My son... please take care of him."

She sighed, as she recalled Sijin's father's words to her. Suppose... his father would have understood. Myeongju told her before that Sijin's father was also a soldier, even if the father didn't manage to get too far up in the ranks.

Moyeon kept eyeing the sleeping form, as she let out another sigh. At least he wasn't having any nightmares. Guess that kiss did its trick. Ah, she couldn't help noticing his lips now. Even asleep, Sijin's lips looked so plump and...

She hastily brushed the thoughts away as the mere memories of her actions earlier causing her to blush. Ah, that was so embarrassing. Those kinds of things were more of a Sijin thing. It's just so unlike Kang Moyeon to pull something like that out. So racy...

Her thoughts turned dark again, as she recalled a conversation that they used to have before.

Haeseong Hospital. VIP Room 710. One year ago.

"Yoo Sijin... did you really have no fear? Like that soldier over there?" she asked, lying on the bed with him as they continued watching the movie that was still playing in front of them.

"Who on earth could be so fearless? Life is not exactly like in the movies..."

She chuckled. "Are you sure? You seemed pretty reckless yourself, as far as I could see,"

"I'm just so good at pretending that I feared nothing. Can't you tell?"

"Not really I—" she could hear him yawning behind her, "—if you're getting sleepy you should sleep first. We'll finish this movie next time."

She felt his arm gripping her waist tighter as she finishes talking. "No, don't. You'll end up sleeping in that other bed, won't you? After turning the TV off? No, I don't want you to leave."

This wuss, she thought to herself, grinning. "You just want me to sleep with you on this same bed, don't you? Pervert."

"It's fine, as long as you're with me. I don't feel so scared... if you're here,"

She wasn't expecting that reply; in fact, she never really thought Sijin would tell her things like that. Even back in Uruk, when she used to wish that he could tell her things that bothered him... he always evades it with some silly joke. But this time, perhaps what happened the other day affected him more than he let on.

Moyeon felt her heart skipped a beat as she turned around to look at him. Sijin had turned his gaze elsewhere, and the room was so dark she couldn't see his expression.

It was similar. The Sijin then and the Sijin right now. He's usually pretty honest whenever he gets a bit depressed. Guess even Big Boss could be so honest whenever he got a bit spooked.

She suddenly thought about the first time they kissed. How he had looked a bit scared before that, and that longing look he used to have much earlier. She wondered about what kinds of thoughts that he might have had then, and if the other reason why he gathered his will to kiss her then and there... was because her presence comforted him even more than any type of wines that he could have had consumed.

She recalled again that time when she had woken up in darkness, wondering who was it that that turned the television off for them. Or what might have caused her to wake up so suddenly at that time when she supposed to be so tired before. She got up for a bit... to look at the sleeping man beside her. She used to think that he was so adorable when asleep that time.

But then she saw him stir in his sleep, and looking as if he was suffering. All her anger and frustration at him for almost dying the day before immediately blew away when she saw that.

Moyeon sighed. What was she to do about this man?

She took out her candle that she often have by her side and lighted it. She turned off the tent's lighting instead. Turning back towards the bed, she gently pushed Sijin aside to make room for herself. Trying her best not to wake the other, she slid onto the bed and lied on the bed. Taking Sijin's hand wrapped in a cast, she placed his arm around her waist as they slept together.

Wishing that she could always take away the darkness that haunted her man in his dreams...
