Does that person still affect me so much?

After half of their original team left, Yro Ren turned to the rest, "Let's go and rest now. Pnev and Ivs, don't forget your reports tomorrow."

"It's 2am, local time, right now. We'll gather in the meeting room at 9am."

Without waiting for any response, Yro Ren turned around, entered the base and went straight to her room.

"She's acting that way again." Nes Dva said watching her leave.

"I really want to open up that stupid Myrn's head and see what's inside. How can he be so tactless?!" Lur Ivs responded.

Ona Pnev just hummed.

Nes Dva, "Do you think we shou... "

"Let's leave her alone for now. She'll get annoyed if we pry into her matters to much. Anyways, this change in environment may help her heal. That way her mind will be able to clear things up." Lur Ivs interrupted.

After receiving agreement from Nes Dva and Ona Pnev, the three retreated back to their rooms.

...

After entering the room, the smile on Yro Ren's face vanished. She was back to her normal self. She reverted back so quickly, as if her earlier smiling self was just an illusion.

She went to her bed and sat on it, 'Does that person still affect me so much?'

She smiled. But this time she smiled in self mockery. She laid down on the bed and closed her eyes.

But after a good while, she still couldn't sleep. She switched on the sleeping aid on the nightstand and laid back on the bed.

...

"...Ren'er"

"... because I couldn't stop thinking about you."

"Stay by me..."

"No one knows me better than you.."

"...now, always and forever."

The memories were sweet. The time when everything was well. She was happy...

But those calm and tranquil memories started getting replaced by her nightmares.

"Don't do that Ren'er."

"Can't you give it up for me."

"Do you really think that you can defeat me just because you have my father's support?"

"You really disappoint me Yro Ren."

Yro Ren woke up startled and panting. She was covered in cold sweat. The silvery blue hair stuck to her face. Her usual strong self looked pitiful at that moment but it didn't diminish her beauty in the slightest. On the contrary, it made one incite sympathy for her. It would make one want to protect her.

She looked for the time. It had been a little over two hours since she fell asleep. She smiled in self mockery, 'Looks like tonight's going to be another one of those sleepless nights.'

...

At quarter to nine, when Lur Ivs arrived at the meeting room, he found Yro Ren already present.

Yro Ren's face was as expressionless as ever. A cold aura emanated from her. She sat on her seat with her hands on the floating table.

He went near her and took the seat besides her and placed his hand on hers, "Renren, are you okay? Are you still suffering from insomnia?"

His eyebrows scrunched up in worry. There was a rare expression of seriousness on his devilishly handsome face.

She patted his hand with her other hand. "You worry to much. It's been so long, I'm already used to it." She replied in a monotonous voice.

Hearing that Lur Ivs frowned. He was about to say something when the other two arrived.
