"They are gone already?" Kai mutters under his breath . When did they leave? Did he fall asleep? He stands up and walks to the bed . He presses his two fingers under Jin's jaw . ;

"Still weak . " Kai sighs . "That woman was aiming to kill him . "

"You are not supposed to talk about her like this . " Jin opens his eyes and stares at him . "She's our queen . "

"Is she?" The corner of Kai's lips curls up . "You are quite sure that she would come back to her senses . "

Jin presses his hand on his chest and takes a breath . His chest still hurts when he takes long breathes . It will take some time before he is completely healed . He closes his eyes . "Yes, she would . "

"Do you still want to find your true mate?" Kai asks him . When he hears no reply, he pats Jin's head . "Fine, I will work on a device since you won't be able to go out for a while . "

When he hears a noise, Kai gets up from his seat . He runs toward the scent of blood . Aiken and Izo are laying Noah on the bed . Noah's body is covered with bites . A large chunk of his shoulder is missing . Though the bleeding has stopped, his body isn't in good condition . ; Kai furrows his brows . "What happened to him?"

"We found him in the forest," Izo replies with a strained voice . "Why did he go there alone?"

"The king asked him to find you . " Kai lets out a sigh . "Why is he also healing slowly?"

"Those creatures have gotten stronger," Aiken tells him . "Where is the King? Did he come back because of Lady Huang?"

Kai nods . "He left with her . Fu Mian is also with them . The King commanded us to go to Sung Na-Mi . I will tell you the rest on the way, Brother Aiken . "

"I can't leave without Noah," Izo shakes his head with moist eyes . "How could we leave him alone here? Jin is also not well . "

"Stay here then . " Aiken pats Izo's shoulder . He's sure that the King would have done the same . "Kai will go with me . Take care of them while we are gone, Izo . "

After Kai and Aiken are gone, Izo cleans Noah's body with a wet cloth and changes his clothes . He stares at the man for a long time with distress in his eyes . ;

"Why wouldn't you care about yourself?" Izo asks him, irritated with Noah's silence . "You should have kept yourself safe . First, it was Jin . Now, it's you . Who would bother me if you stay quiet like this? Stop this act and wake up . Don't sleep like Jin . I would be bored without you . " ;

Noah is so quiet and still that Izo feels like something is cracking in his chest . He bites his wrist and puts his hand over the wound on Noah's shoulder . A few drops of blood fall on the wound, but there is a little effect . Izo's blood isn't as powerful as Aiken's blood or the King's blood . ;

"Fool!" Izo glares at Noah's sleeping face . "If you aren't strong enough to fight, you shouldn't put yourself in dangerous situations . "

No matter how much he scolds him, Noah is not answering him . Izo holds his head . This idiot has been following him with a happy smile . Noah has always been watching his back . This is the first time when he is seeing Noah in this state . ;

The bright sky turns dark . Izo listens to the sound of his slow heartbeats . It's the only sign that Noah is alive . ;

"Izo…" ;

Izo widens his eyes . Noah mumbles something with a pained voice . ;

"Does it hurt?" Izo moves his head close to Noah's lips . "If it is painful, tell me . If you need blood, tell me . "

"Izo…"

Izo says to him with concern in his eyes, "Noah, I am here . "

"I am sorry . " Noah murmurs . "Don't hate me . "

"Fool, why would I hate you?" Izo frowns at him . Is he even awake? "Are you dreaming something bad?"

"Izo, forgive me," Noah whimpers . Two streams of tears roll down on his cheek . "Don't be disgusted, please . I will die if you despise me . "

"This fool is apologizing when he's not even awake . " Izo wipes Noah's cheeks . "Can't I scold you a little? It's not your fault that you got hurt . Stop thinking about crazy things . Take rest and get better . Don't be like Jin who sleeps all the time . "

"You don't hate me?" Noah stares at him with half-opened eyes, blinking his eyes slowly . The pain is making his nauseous . This feels like a dream . ;

Irritated, Izo clicks his tongue . "Why would I hate you?"

"Would you hate me if I tell you that I love you?" Noah says with a quivering voice, "I shouldn't feel this way, but I can't stop feeling like this . I know that you don't feel this way about me . "

What is he saying? Izo stares at him with a dumbfounded expression . Did he mean what he said? "Noah, are you serious?"

"Would you hate me?" Noah cups Izo's face . "If I tell you, would you hate me?"

Didn't he just tell me? Izo blinks his eyes . How should he respond? He didn't expect to hear this from Noah . They are like brothers . They have always been together . Since when Noah had started feeling this way toward him? ;

"Even if it's a dream, can't you answer me?" Noah pulls him closer to him . "Isn't it cruel? I have been watching you for so long . I have been hiding these feelings from you . Even if it's a dream, I am afraid to say . What if you are disgusted by me? Izo, can't you hold me in this dream?"

"Noah, I think that…" Izo grabs his hands with a complicated feeling in his eyes . Maybe Noah is not in the right state of his mind . "You should take rest . "

"Cruel to me…" Noah sniffles . "Even in a dream…"

Is he going to cry? Izo knits his brows . This man is always smiling or laughing . Sometimes, he shows a little anger . But he has never shown this type of expression to anyone . "Noah, don't cry . Close your eyes and sleep . " ;

And Noah should let go of him . Their faces are too close to Izo's liking . Izo can't help but notice things that he wouldn't have noticed otherwise . The rims of Noah's eyes are red . His chest tightens when he sees the pain and longing in Noah's eyes . But what can he do? He has no idea about the matters of love . He has never felt this way for anyone and he can't understand Noah's feelings either . He cares for Noah, but it's the same way that he feels for Jin or Kai . Perhaps, he cares for Noah more than he cares for others . However, he doesn't have this sort of love for him .

"Is this a dream?" Noah questions him with a quiet voice .

It's better if this is a dream . He can still pretend that he didn't hear this . Izo sighs . "This is a dream . "

"Then, forgive me . " Noah smiles at him . "I am sorry for having these feelings for you . "

He's apologizing again . "You don't have to be sorry for something like this . "

"But this is a dream . " Noah caresses his face . "My heart still skips a beat when I look at you . "

His heart skips a beat? For real? Did Noah get affected by Jin's ramblings? Izo purses his lips hard and he wonders what he should say to Noah . Jin is better at these things . That boy is sleeping like a log . Now, he wishes for Noah to sleep . Then, he can figure out how to act when Noah wakes up for real . "Noah, go to sleep . "

"Since this is a dream…" Noah raises his head and presses his lips on Izo's lips . It last barely for less than a second . Noah falls back to slumber, leaving behind a man who has forgotten how to breathe . After a moment, Izo gasps and jumps away from Noah .

He covers his mouth and stands at the corner of the room and stares hard at Noah . What just happened? What did Noah do to his lips? His heart is beating too fast . Is he sick? While he's contemplating why his body felt a surge of electricity, Noah is sleeping peacefully . ;Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
