Seoyoon kept on looking at the sculpture.
‘Such a well-made sculpture.’
The expression and detail made it hard to believe it was made of rock.
The sculpture that emitted gentle light was very beautiful.
Although their faces were smiling, they were trying hard to embrace each other a bit more in such harsh conditions.
It was a sculpture that filled the heart with affection.
‘Only a person with a warm heart would be able to make such sculpture.’
With gentle eyes, Seoyoon looked at Weed who was sleeping near the sculpture.
He was a person with various talents. He cooked well and could survive well. A cheapskate who tried very hard to get even a penny more.
Still, he had one thing that not many people had. A warm heart.
She thought he was a good person.
Then Weed suddenly sprung up from his sleep.
“I guess I fell asleep after working so hard. She wouldn’t be here yet right? Gasp!”
When he looked up and found Seoyoon, his face became as pale as a sheet, as if he had seen a ghost.
He shivered as well.
“W-When did you...”
Weed’s fear did not cease.
If she saw the face on the sculpture, she wouldn’t let him go easily!
But Seoyoon stood there expressionless. She thought Weed was a great person, but she didn’t show her feelings.
‘I cannot be loved by anyone.’
Seoyoon always felt pain in her heart.
For years, she lived not talking to anyone.
She wanted to talk, have a conversation. But fear always came first.
The fear of not knowing when she’ll be scarred and that she will never be loved.
She was used to not expressing her emotion.
If she hid herself from everyone, the pain would be less.
Still, she spent a considerable amount of time with Weed.
The happy Morata town’s festival.
The time in the cave.
At least Seoyoon wasn’t uncomfortable hanging around Weed.
Still, she didn’t express herself.
She had to hide herself especially more because he was one of the few whom she knew.
‘Phew, she didn’t see yet.’
Looking at Seoyoon’s reaction, Weed could only guess she hadn’t seen the woman’s face yet.
“So,” he said hurriedly. “Let’s go hunt!”
Since Seoyoon didn’t have reason to refuse, they headed outside the cave.
Before going out, Seoyoon turned around.
She wanted to hold the sculpture in her eyes once more.
The face of Weed holding the woman, smiling so brightly.
