Chapter 26: This was my chance
While I was trying to wonder what had conspired while I was asleep, Ki-hoon's eyes darted down towards me.
He probably noticed my little movements and realized I had woken up. Even when pressing my eyelids tight, I couldn't deceive him.
"If you're awake, you should at least say something," he said and I gulped, realizing I had been caught.
"I... I didn't want to interrupt," I said, opening my eyes to look at his face. God, he was handsome. My eyes slowly fell on the book in his hand and I was once again curious if he was actually the owner of that library.
Should I ask?
Wait, let's not get over our heads. He seemed to dismiss my question when I asked if he was the one who carried me out of the library, so for now...
"M-master, what are you... Doing here?" I asked in a soft and low tone.
Probably scared that I would offend him if I asked boldly and without restraint.
"I already told you that I would be here till you woke up," he said and dropped the book on the bookshelf. "Did you think I would break my promise?"
