Ji-Hoon's breath hitched as Seo-Yeon slowly removed his mask. Moonlight bathed his face, revealing his tired but handsome face.
A look of surprise and something deeper could be seen in his eyes before a playful smirk tugged at his lips.
"Taking things to the next level, huh?" he teased, his voice a low rumble. "You must have gotten jealous when I was talking with that healer from earlier."
Seo-Yeon met his gaze, her cheeks flushed a rosy pink. "It's your fault I'm like this, oppa. Flirting with her like that, what did you expect me to do?"
Her cheeks blushed.
Their faces were inches apart, the air was suddenly filled with unspoken desires. Ji-Hoon could feel the beat coming from Seo-Yeon's chest, as he leaned in closer, his lips hovering just above hers.
A chime suddenly echoed in his mind, shattering the intimate moment.
[The Devoted Maiden is having a meltdown! She screams at you to protect Seo-Yeon's innocence!]
