By the time they’re back in the hospital, Zaki immediately entered Hinari’s room. However, his eyes suddenly turned dark as he looked at the two nosy bodyguards who shamelessly followed him in.

"You two... get out." Zaki said. His firm voice was still as scary as ever even though it was almost a whisper.

"Err... Fourth boss, don’t make this hard for us. Why don’t you just lie down now and sleep beside fifth boss so we can finally leave?" Kaide said as he smiled sweetly as if he was enjoying the current situation.

"Fourth boss?" Ryou was surprised as he looked at Kaide with questioning eyes.

"Well, second boss is back and Little Shin took the third boss title, so this person we are guarding right here is just the fourth boss now and of course, his fiancée will be after him."

"Ohh... that makes sense."

"Right. Our fourth boss isn’t that scary anymore, you see? We can tranquilize him if he doesn’t obey anyway."

Kaide continued smiling as he spoke. He seemed happy and Zaki knew exactly what this Kaide was aiming for. Hearing him made Zaki want to throw him out the window. Gladly, Zaki just felt too tired to even talk back now.

Thus, ignoring the two like they were invisible, Zaki then walked towards Hinari’s bed. The room was as luxurious as a presidential suite so the bed was big enough for two.

Zaki gazed at Hinari’s face for as long as he could until he felt like he had reached his limit. He then weakly and carefully climbed on the bed and laid beside her.

Watching his every move, Kaide and Ryou continued to be puzzled. This was the very first time they saw Zaki acting like this. Was this man still the invincible demon killer they knew? Why was he looking so miserably weak? Was he really sick?

Somehow, Ryou and Kaide couldn’t even continue the bullying plan they prepared. They were also surprised to see Zaki just climb on the bed as if sleeping beside his fiancée was so normal to him. Well, they all knew that Zaki’s relationship with his fiancée was a stagnant lake for all these years so this was a confusing scene for them.

Just as the two started to think that what they knew about their relationship might be wrong, they were again stunned when Zaki suddenly looked like he had already fallen asleep.

"Kaide... can you believe it? He’s already asleep?"

"What? It hasn’t even been a minute."

"Did his insomnia finally get cured?"

"I don’t think so, I saw him still awake at 2am last night."

"Ehh? Might be because he is too tired?"

The two continued whispering to each other until they finally decided to leave. Of course, because the view of these two seemingly very sick couple was somehow beautiful, Kaide decided to take a shot of them to use it to bully Zaki in the future.

...

The next morning, Hinari awakened with Zaki sleeping soundly beside her. The sun was already shining brightly and she was surprised to see that this beauty was actually sleeping beside her.

However, when she remembered everything that happened last night, her eyes widened. She lifted her hand and touched her neck which was already wrapped with bandages. She couldn’t believe that she almost took her own life last night. Hinari’s hand trembled thinking about it all. She knew that if Zaki didn’t appear, she would surely be a corpse right now.

Even though Zaki was the reason she got drunk, she knew that incident wasn’t his fault. She was the one who carelessly put herself in harm’s way. She remembered what Zaki did and she bit her lip. She couldn’t believe that this sleeping beauty turned into a vicious demon last night.

Deep within her, she was glad that she was seeing him back to his usual self again. But at that moment, Hinari couldn’t help but still feel the sadness she felt when she was waiting for this man last night. If only he came earlier, if only he...

Hinari clenched the blanket with her palm and she pressed her lips tightly. She slowly moved and when she was about to stand, Zaki’s lashes finally moved and he slowly opened his eyes. He was blinded by the bright morning light so he covered his eyes with his palms. However, when he saw Hinari’s back climbing out the bed, he immediately rose and he caught her wrist.

"Where are you going?" he asked and when Hinari turned at him, her eyes blinked and then her awful mood shattered because of just how beautiful this creature before her was. Damn... how could this man look like this even when he just woke up? Gosh, I never knew my beauty looked like this with wavy and messy hair!

Just like that, Hinari’s heart was soothed. It seemed like she couldn’t get angry at this man for long even if she wanted to.

As she looked at him, Hinari pressed her lips tightly. She was mad at herself for being too soft towards this man.

Thus, she suddenly knelt on the bed and tangled her hands in Zaki’s hair. She ruffled it as rough as she could as if she was mad with his already messy hair. Of course, Zaki was surprised with Hinari’s sudden action. He was just asking and yet she was treating him like this so early in the morning?

"I am just going to the toilet Mr. Beautiful. What of it? Huh?" She said as she continued what she was doing. With just the tone of her voice, Zaki could already tell she was mad. Somehow, when Zaki noticed her mood, he seemed to feel relieved instead. He looked as though he wanted her to be mad at him.

"I mean, are you alright now? Can you walk? I’ll help you." He said and Hinari stopped ruffling his hair.

"Ohh... really? You will help me? Okay then, carry me." Hinari said and to her surprise, the man quickly rose and scooped her up without any word. However, his action made Hinari narrow her eyes. Well, this Zaki seemed to be out of character. He used to just flick her forehead if she requested something like this before. Wait, could it be that...

"Beauty... are you doing this to make up for not attending my birthday?" She asked and Zaki halted.
