Chapter 38 Introduction.
"...Eh?".
"Mm?". Jin reeled back, eyes widened.
Both exchanged silly banter as they started with their eyes open. Iris's thoughts accelerated as her breath slowed. Slowly, as the answer reached her ears, her cheek twitched, and her heart thumped, returning to reality.
"You know?". Iris' voice cracked, her lips quivering as she stared at the boy. "How?".
Jin silently pointed at his eyes, emerald, calm eyes that seemed to see through anything. Iris finally snapped back and shot straight, pushing away the chair until it made a clattering sound behind.
"Don't tell me?". Blood returned to her face, Iris reeled close, and her breath was rough.
Exhaled deeply, Jin's head nodded off, "Yeah, my eyes are a bit unusual".
"Since when?". Iris' gaze was sharp, piercing his soul.
Iris reeled in closer, and Jin instinctively leaned back, shrinking under her intense gaze.
The boy could only give a weak sigh and raised his hand forward to block Iris's further advance. Her womanly scent rubbed on his nose, rousing something within him. Iris's clear and mesmerizing looks further pushed Jin's limit to its edge.
He took a deep breath to calm his quickening heart, but it was futile as he felt the soft and warm grip on his hands, which were so tightly pressed onto the table.
