One Hell of a Kind

"Easy... just let her beat you and it will all be over after that!"

Hearing Zaki's advice, Sei shrugged Zaki's hand off his shoulder.

"I can't wake her up now. We still need to get back right away," he said and Zaki could only tug at his hair, showing his extreme disappointment.

Damn it! What bad timing.

"Then just let her beat you when we're officially back, okay?" Zaki obviously sounded like he just wanted to see him get beaten up by his wife so Sei just replied with a cold "Shut up" as he walked towards the entrance.

Some moments later, the door of the bedroom was pushed open gently and silently.

Footsteps then drew closer and Sei sat on the side of the bed as the yellow light from the bedside lamp lit the room softly.

Sei stared, for some time, at the sleeping girl still holding a book in her hand, before he slowly took the book away and put it on the table.
