I dropped my sights after nodding.
After a while of silence, I looked upwards and did my best to smile.
“Let’s go back to bed. I am really sorry to wake you up at mid-nig-----“
I could not finish my words.
That’s because Julie hugged me.
What’s more, she was hugging me by pushing my head to her chest.
“Ju-Julie!?”
I panicked when my face was pulled onto her modest and yet soft bulges.
“Don’t move, please stay still”
“N-no, because-----“
“Just for a while”
She told me that, and I could not continue my words.
--- My heart was one-sidedly in chaos in the first place.
“……….can you hear my heart?”
“Eh? Ah…………”
I lost my composure from her sudden action and did not become attentive but-----
*Tokun**tokun**tokun*-----
When I allowed my consciousness to her, Julie’s rhythmic heartbeat echoed.
“A-aah. I can hear it……..”
“Then, close your eyes and listen carefully”
After a while of listening, my heartbeat gradually went far away.
*Tokun**tokun**tokun*------
Time passed like that.
That one sound inside the quiet world was comfortable.
My heart which got discomposed when I saw that dream turned calm from that comfort.
