'How old am I anyway?' Arya thought inwardly and let out a wicked smile. Then she hurried back to her door to run for Ryu and show him the proper kiss for their age. 'He was probably at the elevator already or if he walked slowly he'll be at the hallway this time.' She thought to herself as she excitedly walked.

She opened the door to get out when she accidentally b.u.mped into someone outside the door.

"O-ooppss sor-ry. Y-you're still here?" Arya's forehead wrinkled when she saw Ryu who also looked surprise with his guilty smile.

Then she saw him sighed deeply and said, "I w-ant to sleep here. Pro-mise I will be go-od. I will just cud-dle you th-e who-le night."

Arya wanted to laugh because of Ryu's expression while he said the words. It was like he was hesitating and he was avoiding eye contact with her.

Arya's brow arched while she crossed her arms then commented, "What is that? Are you asking for my permission or what? Your sentence seems to be like more of informing me and not asking me?"

Arya was hiding her laughter; she wanted to hear it from him, to ask for her permission which he clearly stated that he was not used on doing so.

This time Ryu sighed and exhaled loudly as he looked at her directly. "Alright, you will be an exception so I will ask you. C-can I, can I, can I sleep here?" he asked stuttering. Arya no longer suppress it and burst out into laughter after hearing him. She can't actually believed Ryu would stammer just for that simple question.

"Oh you are killing me, is it really hard for you to ask permission or something like that?" she commented still laughing.

Ryu just pouted his lips as he scratched his head. Yes, it was hard for him because he always gets what he wants; direct to the point no more asking or whatsoever. That was part of his upbringing. It was really his first time since birth to ask someone for permission.

He smiled lovingly as he looked at Arya, he made her laugh. That was also the first time he saw someone laughed like her because of him and he was happy and fulfilled thinking he was responsible for that joy in her eyes.

Arya quickly cleaned up herself and went behind the comforter to hide. She was on her sleeps.h.i.+rt because she was not used to wearing pajamas. Her mind was debating if she will even wear her bra or not but chose not to because she was really not comfortable sleeping with it. Besides, she thought Ryu wouldn't bother to even notice it because her cotton nights.h.i.+rt was quite thick enough.

Her phone finally rang and it was her mom. "Dear, your sister's operation just finished. She was still unconscious and had been transferred to the recovery room for monitoring. According to the doctor it was successful. I will wait for her now to be transferred back to her room."

"See mom Reese was a fighter so stay strong also for her. All this will soon pa.s.s. Call me as soon as Reese woke up. Rest also mom, I love you." Arya was smiling as she said the words.

"Okay dear you too, take care there and don't worry too much about us. I love you too," said her mom then hang up the phone.

Arya closed her eyes to say her thanks for the successful operation. She was so happy that she almost forgot about Ryu sleeping with her. She closed her eyes and quickly drowsed off to sleep.

Ryu entered the room using the room card Arya gave him. He smiled as he saw Arya who was already sleeping soundly. 'Did I take that long?' He asked himself as he silently walked to the bed. He lay down beside her under the same comforter and moved closer to Arya as he hugged her from behind. Her scent was filling his nose.

Arya moved so his hand accidentally went to her soft breast. He can fully feel that tender spot because obviously she wasn't wearing a bra.

Ryu cursed when with that simple brus.h.i.+ng he felt his body was already burning. He was tempted to grasp it and the flashback this morning of him kissing those soft buds suddenly clouded his mind.

Arya moved abruptly taking off the comforter from her body as if it was a disturbance on her sleep and s.h.i.+fted her position with her back on the bed as she raised her arms upwards with her legs apart. She actually looked like a starfish in the position.

Ryu laughed at her; however, it did not help to put off the fire ignited inside of him. Rather, he was tortured more seeing Arya's s.h.i.+rt rose upper showing her beautiful curvy legs and panty moreover.

Ryu gulped several times as his mind was debating on what he should do, but clearly some parts of his body were deciding on its own.
