Jin squinted his eyes at her expectant gaze who was impatiently waiting for him to pick her up again. He sneered, giving her a disdainful look, "Why does it seem like you are enjoying this, Han Shui? You were just on the verge of collapsing."
Oh oh. I got a little too excited…
Shui expressionlessly figured out the problem, but she was more than capable enough to handle Jin's suspicions. Her brows knitted together tensely as if she was being harassed by another kind of pain.
"Do you realize Jin that ever since the beginning of this trip, you have been avoiding as if I am so virus?"
He stiffened.
"I just want our work to go smoothly and I am fully dedicated towards it, but you keep leaving alone…It hurts because it feels that you are not even allowing to be your friend…"
That rattled him and his lips struggled to form a response.
"After so long for the first ti, you looked genuinely worried about . You, who always found a chance to escape from , actually carried in your arms. Do you realize how happy it made feel? It's like I got validation that Jin still cares about even if it's a little bit. And it ca so fast and unexpected that I wasn't simply able to process it. I even forgot about my pain and dizziness. Can you really bla for my reaction?"
"N-No…I an…" Jin fumbled in his words, not expecting that carrying her led to such a significant impact.
Shui pressed her lips and lowered her gaze. "It's okay. I was being childish anyway. You can leave. It's just periods anyway. I can take care of myself-"
"No," A determined look flashed across his face. "I won't leave you alone when you are suffering. If it will make you happy that I carry you again, then I will."
Flowers blossod inside Shui's heart, and she almost cried with happiness seeing the change in Jin.
Did my acting actually win?
Shui was left shocked by her own unexpected talent. She didn't realize that the arrow will pierce exactly where she wanted to. She was being dramatic for sure and half part of it was definitely to tug Jin's sympathetic heartstrings, but the remaining half part of the conversation was a reality anyway that Jin wouldn't be able to protest. It was hard to tell whether Shui was acting or genuinely disappointed because her words reflected both spectrums of her emotions.
Jin gently lifted her again in his arms and walked away from the bed to where they previously stood. He cleared his throat. "Now I will walk slowly…"
Shui inwardly coughed at his innocence and an urge arose within her to record this on her phone. But instead, she focused on basking herself in the warmth of Jin's embrace. Her heart squealed and tickled with the sensation of his fingers softly pressing into her waist, the sight of his handso jawline lting her heart and his beautiful black irises that were filled with concern for her. The light away against his chest made a blush greet her cheeks.
She wished for this mont to never end and dreamily thought of never parting away from Jin. He placed her on the bed for the second ti and asked, "Is this…okay now?"
The dreamy daze ca to an end, and she inwardly sighed. But she wasn't going to let this atmosphere to go to waste thay she so painstakingly built all by herself. She weakly smiled, letting him clearly see her 'struggle.'
"Thanks Jin…" her lips then parted irregularly as if bouts of pain greeted her like a see-saw.
Alert and alard, Jin quickly said, "Wait here for . I will be back in a minute!"
He rushed outside, causing Shui to give him a dumbfounded look.
Where did he suddenly rush off to?
But now that he was gone for soti, Shui stepped out of her bed and hopped and jumped in excitent. She covered her face with her palms, recalling the short but sweet ti in his arms. Giggling, she imdiately grabbed her phone and sent a status ssage to her master.
'Master Aiiii!! Your plan actually worked! Jin got so worried about that he is refusing to leave my side now~ He just rushed off now but I don't know where.'
A ding ca a few seconds later.
'I told you so.'
Shui chuckled, imagining Ai's nose to have grown longer with pride. She had nailed down Jin's reaction to perfection.
'It is absolute heaven when the Liu family n serve- care for us,' she added another ssage.
She laughed.
"Shui!"
The phone almost slipped off her hands, and she choked hard.
He ca back so soon?
Shui quickly locked her phone and jumped back to bed, covering herself with a duvet. She brought back the troubled expression as she saw Jun return. "Jin…"
He was holding a glass of warm drink and walked up to her anxiously. He noticed the beads of sweat on her forehead and widened his eyes. "You are sweating."
Her mouth ever so slightly twitched.
Is that because of my hyper jumping around in joy a minute ago?
She coughed. "It's nothing really. I am just a little uncomfortable."
Jin quickly took a seat beside her and said, "I made this warm drink for you. It has so good herbs that will help ease your discomfort. This is Mom's recipe. It's magic. You should drink it."
"You made it…?" She asked, suprised.
"Yes."
"But how? This is a hotel, not Liu villa's kitchen. You cannot just enter in the kitchen and…"
He blinked. "I can go wherever I want. Perks of being from the Liu family."
"..."
At least show a little sha of abusing your power…
Nevertheless, her heart was so overwheld by this gesture of his that she sincerely felt like kissing him on his lips. He ran all the way to the kitchen, possibly threatened the kitchen staff to let him do whatever he wanted and personally made this drink for her.
Can I really not kiss him…? She lanted.
Oh wait. Maybe I can. I just have to strike at the right ti…
With this newfound hope, she took the glass and gulped the drink. Even though she wasn't in actual pain, the warmth and sweet taste brought an unknown relief as if she was floating in the clouds.
This is really magic…
Jin carefully observed her expression and nodded in satisfaction to see that the drink's effects seed to be working. Shui peeked at him as she swallowed the last gulp of the drink. She had to act again and act fast. If he felt that she was alright now, he might leave for his room. And she wanted him to stay beside her as long as possible.
She kept the glass on the table and shifted a little uncomfortably on the bed.
"What is it?" Jin didn't waste any mont to ask.
"It's just the cramps…" she awkwardly smiled. "Aunt's recipe indeed is working like magic. I already feel so much refreshed. But there are still so light cramps haha…"
Her tired and fatigued smile clenched Jin's heart further with distress. "Can I help with anything? Anything you say!"
Well…
She had an urge to say to pat her belly, but she wasn't sure how it would turn out. She didn't want this progress between them to go to waste.
But before she could even decide, Jin gave a look as if a great idea struck him. "I am an idiot. Why didn't I think of this earlier? I will pat your belly. We do this for sis Nuo at ho. It really works. I will do it for you. You will feel better in no ti!"
"..."
Am I dreaming?
