Kevin stood before the bathroom door and knocked for several times. Leena had been in the bathroom for quite a while. She should have come out by now. Thus, he couldn't stop worrying that something might have happened to her in there.

  "I…… I forgot to bring my clothes." Leena answered abruptly upon hearing him knock. Her voice was a bit raspy as she had been crying for a long time.

  "Okay, wait a minute." Feeling amused, Kevin shook his head at her words and turned around. He walked to the closet and took her pajamas out for her. He had thought that she fainted in the bathroom. However, he felt relieved that it was just the clothes that she forgot and that she didn't know how to tell him. That was just so Leena.

  She was still a bit embarrassed about things like this. Though they had seen each other naked many times by now, she just couldn't shoo the awkwardness she felt whenever she thought about it. She was just that shy.

  "Nana, open the door," said Kevin. He walked back to where Leena was and waited for her to open the door. He knew that Leena was shy whenever he was around, thus, she would never completely open the door.

  And he was right. Soon enough, the door cracked open and a thin arm reached out from it as if waiting for Kevin to put the clothes in her hand. If it weren't winter, he would surely tease her for a bit. However the air outside the bathroom wasn't warm enough, and Kevin was worried that she would catch a cold if the door was opened for too long.

  The door closed again but Kevin didn't leave. He stood by the door and waited for her to come out. He looked a bit sad tonight. His handsome face was hard and serious. The traces of sadness in his eyes were so potent that one could even

  huge part of his life. He just couldn't lose her.

  He knew that something was bothering Leena but she just wouldn't tell him. It frustrated the shit out him. That was why he was gentle but also passionate with Leena during their lovemaking as if he was trying to melt away the pain that was buried deep inside Leena's heart. He tried to tell Leena that he would be with her no matter what through his action. At some point during their lovemaking, he had felt that he succeeded. But what now? He still didn't know what Leena was thinking.

  Kevin's lips twitched into a bitter smile. His heart throbbed painfully in his chest whenever he thought about it. As a tough soldier, he didn't think that there was something that he couldn't achieve as long as he worked hard enough. However, with Leena, he just felt so useless sometimes. He still couldn't fully understand her even though they were in love with each other. He was sure that Leena loved him to the moon and back but he just couldn't understand why Leena was hiding something that made her sad from him. He didn't know what to do in front of her sometimes, especially when Leena acted like this.
