Chapter 302 - 294. Lethargy
When Zein opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the car. In fact, it was no longer night. He was snuggly tucked inside a blanket, lying on the comfortable and warm bed.
Squinting his eyes, Zein saw the sunlight had poured into the bedroom, and realized he had spent almost twelve hours sleeping.
Was he really that tired? Zein dragged his body up and felt heavy, almost as if he was fresh out of a burnout. Not exactly that much, but he felt pretty lethargic--which was weird because he expected he would wake up feeling refreshed after such a long sleep. Was he actually sleeping too long?
He got out of bed and moved his shoulder around, and unfortunately, he didn’t have significant sore muscles. He just felt tired, basically, like someone at the end of their long day of work.
A long day...
Ah, well...probably because he did have a long day yesterday; the one that was mentally taxing. He must have been sleeping so deeply that he didn’t even wake up after they arrived, and Bassena had to carry him from the unit’s garage to the bedroom.
Unlike him, Bassena was as energetic as ever, already moving around in the kitchen as usual--which had become a habit now--as if he wasn’t just driving long distances just a few hours before. But then again, he was an esper.
"Morning, sleepy head," Bassena greeted the guide without turning around from the kitchen station. But he raised his brow when he felt a weight on his back. He turned his head to look behind his shoulder and saw the black hair pressed on his back. "Are you alright?"
"Mm," the guide mumbled against his shirt. "Just feeling a bit tired."
Bassena turned off the stove and shifted carefully, turning around to face the guide. Zein almost did not budge, though, so now the tousled black hair was pressed on his chest. He wrapped his arms around the lean waist, and Zein snuggled his head more in the crook of his neck.
Oh? What was this sudden clingy behavior? Bassena thought he was the only one who could act clingy but...this is nice.
