Winter is approaching The atmosphere at night is quiet and completely dark. The cold wind blows until my body shivers. I am the one who is hiding myself under a warm blanket. In a cheap, shabby motel that you could find in a prosperous city.

When the sleepy eyelids are about to close completely The bed behind me suddenly shook, as if something was moving. I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes, but I knew that I was still conscious. I didn't think of it myself. But I don't know, this feeling might be a dream...

I made a small noise of protest in my throat before wrapping myself up into a chrysalis, pulling the covers almost over my head. Even if the window is closed The door was closed, but the cracks in the brick under the ceiling still blew the cold in. The owner of this place kept saying that if he couldn't stay there, he would move out. Damn...it's cold all over my face and ears. This time I bought myself a heater as a New Year's gift.

... cold...

And then the torturous night passed...no. The suffering continued when he had to force himself to wake up because the alarm clock vibrating loudly in three houses, eight houses next to him woke me up even though I didn't want to wake up. I scrambled to pick up the mobile phone on my bedside table at six o'clock. Projected on the screen made me jump up and down.

Another day of work A child washes dishes in a small restaurant on the side of the road. A child throws away garbage, gives free food and it says rice. I mean leftovers that customers throw away. Leftover grilled vegetables on the plate, steak that wasn't completely eaten, mashed potatoes at the bottom of the pot. Some days the owner is in a good mood and cooks. Open wine to feed subordinates It was such a rare moment and I probably won't have that opportunity again...

“Hey!” I shrieked in shock and almost jumped back as I walked into the bathroom and saw an unknown person standing in front of the mirror in 'my' bathroom, shaving.

The man looked at me for a moment and continued to shave his face shamelessly. I didn't care. My eyes scanned his muscular, semi-naked body. From being shocked, he started to become extremely angry.

The bathroom is filled with the smell of various appliances, including shower cream, shampoo, and the peppermint scent of toothpaste. The body is damp. I immediately knew that this idiot had used all the personal items in my bathroom.

“Who are you?! How did you get in?!!” He shouted at the top of his lungs, pointing at the person who was taking off the towel wrapped around his waist to wipe off the shaving cream. I was too young to close my eyes to see that this bastard was wearing shorts underneath.

Cold hands grabbed both his wrists and yanked them open, causing his eyes to open in an effort to resist the force of his struggle. But the other party is more powerful...maybe even older? The skin is tan and the face has a few wrinkles...now is the time to analyze the oily face!!

“Help!!” I shouted loudly, so the idiot reached out and covered my mouth. Make a shushing noise. Let me be quiet...

I took advantage of the moment when he let go of one hand and threw a sharp punch in the face, flicked off my wrist and put on my gear and ran for my life out the door. The news is... I was so flustered that my hands were shaking and I couldn't easily unlock the door latch. Damn it!!!

"Hey! Let go!!”

Big forearms coming straight up to hug the waist. Drag him back to bed. Wait! And why does it have to be a bed?! Before he knew it, his body had been thrown onto the bed and a strong hand followed and pressed his face into the mattress. Lay down on his back to prevent him from moving.

“Calm down, young man. Very sarcastic, I can't resist.”

“Damn uncle! If you want anything, take it. Get out of my room!!”

“Then stop yelling and wake up the villagers. So I'll let you go...?"

The other party whispered in his ear in a teasing tone. This uncle must have lost his nerve. We don't know what he'll do. Let's say I accept the game for now. When I stopped struggling, the force pressed on top of me gradually became lighter until the other person got up and walked away. I turned over and looked at the other person who was now standing at his full height. He gave me a charming smile and looked at him without looking away. I don't know when this guy will go crazy again.

“Sorry for startling you...Patrick? I'm Navin..." The other person extended his hand and asked to shake it in greeting. But of course I still don't trust him enough to hold his hand. The doctor withdrew his hand and continued speaking. “Don't be cold, darling, even last night you hugged me so tightly.”

“Wha...what?!”

“Last night, when he saw me complaining of the cold, he hugged me tightly and didn't let go, so I lay outside the blanket and I almost froze to death. It snowed yesterday too.” His eyes froze, his mouth agape. Shocked by what I heard. While the other party continued to chatter nonstop, but when he saw that he hadn't moved for a while, he bent down towards me, waving his hands around to call me to my senses.

“Don't come near me!” I violently slapped my hand in front of my face and climbed away to the other side of the bed. Picked up a pillow and hugged it to protect himself, looking at the man with a suspicious expression. “How did you get in?”

“You didn't lock the window...come on. Don't do this.” The other party tried to climb along this side. He quickly threw a pillow at him and ran to hide in another corner of the room.

My leg tripped over something on the floor and I nearly fell. When he looked down, he found clothes that had been taken off, presumably belonging to the pervert. But what made my eyes widen was the shiny black object hidden under the pile of cloth. At that moment, I was immediately aware that his face had turned pale and his thighs were slumped and he was sitting on the carpet of the room.

“Really naughty,” said the other in a calm tone. He walked over and took his clothes from the floor and put on a red long-sleeved shirt with a round neck and a reindeer picture in the middle of it. Casual blue jeans, before taking the pistol, tucking it into the back of the pants and pulling the shirt closed.

“Are you going to kill me?...” I was shaking, my whole voice and body were shaking. I clenched onto the carpet, looking for something to hold onto, backing away until I was close to the wall... Pressed to speak a lot and saw things that were not appropriate...I might have been killed and silenced...

The man stared at me thoughtfully as he pulled the hem of his shirt into place and squatted down. Sending a smile... a teasing smile from that sharp face, it looked like it was empty. Unable to guess what was going on in my head, I closed my eyes to suppress fear. But when he received a soft touch on his forehead, these round eyes opened again.

...This guy kisses my forehead? ...

"It's already high...if you don't hurry, you'll miss the morning class." The doctor stood up. Turn around and walk towards the door.

“Huh?”

He looked up at the clock. The short hand is close to entering the number 10, which means the first hour is about to end. He jumped up and ran into the bathroom to wash his face, grabbed his bag and prepared to leave the house. But when he came out, the idiot had already disappeared. In his haste, he ignored it and locked the door and left the room.

“Jump up, little one!”

After leaving the apartment area The voice spoke up. When he looked up, a large helmet was thrown towards him and he instinctively picked it up. The idiot came down and put on the engine of his motorcycle and waited knowingly. But how do I get him to trust him? He's walking around with a gun. Sneak into his room without him knowing. Use the bathroom, use soap...use his brush...

"Don't hurry, you'll be late."

“I know!” Even though he thought like that, he accepted the kindness. Put on your hat and jump right in.

“Hold on to your waist?” The doctor turned around and asked in a teasing tone.

“There's no way!” he denies, firmly gripping the seat behind him instead. Just being hugged is bad enough and no one is willing to hug you back!

Then this super-smart motorcycle sped off and headed towards his university, as if he knew very well where he studied...not only that, this guy knew that he studied early. Plus they'll take you to the right building. As he jumped out of the car, he could only stare at the man.

“Who exactly are you? Why do you do this?” he asked...and he still had a lot of things he wanted to know. He thought that asking now wouldn't be enough...so he chose the thing that was probably the most important right now.

“Hurry up or you will be punished for standing in front of the class.

“I have a feeling that if I walk away from here, I will never see you again.” His words caused the other man to fall silent. Those brown eyes told him of his surprise. He didn't even know why he said it like that. Why do you want to meet me even though...

Seconds before I was conscious or even started to question myself, I was pulled into a kiss that was intense and aggressive. The strong hand on the back of his neck made him struggle, unable to escape, and it became more and more violent until he could hardly breathe. More importantly, it made him make strange noises.

“Enough...first...” He tried to interject when his thick lips parted, causing the other party to let go.

“I'm coming over tonight...if you want a present from Santa...just open the window and wait.”

“Santa Thief doesn't mind…” he muttered under his breath. But it was loud enough for the other party to hear the doctor smile with white teeth and laugh happily before letting go.

“Come to class, it's already late.”

He nodded lightly. That warm forehead moved to rest against his, and he finally backed away. Step into the building Go straight to the classroom and know right away that it's today. He probably couldn't concentrate much on his studies.

Today was the first day that he wanted to go home early. He broke many of his own records, including putting his things in his bag faster than anyone else. Ran a hundred meters back to the apartment as soon as I clocked out from work almost half an hour earlier than before.

He went straight into the room to take a hot shower and put on thick clothes after seeing the weather outside. It expected to snow again tonight and he didn't want to freeze to death before he got the heater at the end of the month.

He jumped up and sat curled up on the bed. Keep your legs and arms warm under the duvet. He turned to look, but the glass window next to his bed was showing the image of dry trees swaying in the strong wind, causing the coldness to seep into the ceiling even more... He saw his own breath turn into smoke. That meant that if he If you don't rush out and buy a heater, he might freeze to death in this room without anyone knowing.

'I'll come see you tonight. Open the window and wait.’ Those words echoed in my head. Because of that, he couldn't take his eyes off the window.

Of course…he still didn't have the courage to invite a dangerous, flirtatious man with a gun into the room by leaving the window unlocked like that, but on the other hand, he felt that he wasn't very dangerous and that if he wanted to kill, he would probably do it. Since the first day we met And he had so many questions he wanted to ask, so he finally took the risk and opened the window.

“Sigh…” He heard himself sigh. ...This might be a stupid idea. He was sprawled out on a cutting board, getting himself killed...

He just stood and clung to the window. Let the winter breeze blow your face. For a split second, he was lost in his own thoughts, another pair of cold hands rested on his. That coldness made him flinch... Looking up, he saw the other's mischievous smile, dry lips kissing sweetly, coated with ice crystals. So sweet that he fell intoxicated with it.

“Can I come in?” the doctor said, eyes pleading for permission.

He walked back a little distance from the window to allow the other person to climb up with agility and strength, and when he could step into the room, he quickly retreated and ordered the other person to stay still.

“Take off your shoes!” he ordered again. The other person then bent down to undo the laces and slowly took off his shoes, sending him an inquiring look. So he continued. “Put all your weapons in your shoes.”

The other party looked suspicious and pretended to poop. He took off his shoulder bag and placed it at his feet. He raised his hand and patted his body, searching for a weapon. His strong hand picked up the gun that was tucked away in the back and placed it on his shoe. He patted himself again, then took out the pocket knife in his pants and placed it next to the gun, reaching into both sides of his pants again. Pulling out his bag to reveal that he was empty, the young man slowly walked in. He picked up the shoes and weapons on the floor and put them on the shoe rack in front of the house, instructing the other person to stand still.

This time we will be able to talk conveniently.

“That's my bed!” he shouted as he turned around and the idiot jumped up and started playing on his bed. He also patted the bed beside him to make him lie down.

He stood and shrugged for a long time, so he got up and dragged him along for a long time. Thick forearms tightly wrapped around a soft silk cocoon as a pillow. Tucking your cold cheek into the space between his shoulder and neck, the coldness from the body behind him made him flinch.

"You're all cold..." He removed the blanket to cover the person behind him. The other person smiled happily before spreading out the blanket to cover them both.

“I've been watching you for...almost a year...” The other party started to speak in the silence. The young boy didn't say anything. Just lay still in those cold arms and let the other person speak as he wanted. “I was hired by someone... to kill you, as you originally understood.”

“...Then why do you still leave me alone? You really don't get any value like this, right?” The young man didn't flinch. He didn't move away, instead he embraced the other person even more tightly.

“Because I fell in love with my own victim.” The slender figure looked up and looked at the other person. Those eyes were filled with pure, unfeigned love. It made him so embarrassed that he had to look away. “I have been watching over you all this time to protect you from the other assassins who were hired as well.”

“What if you fail? If they can kill me..."

“That's why I came tonight.”

The other party got out of bed. Grabbing the bag by the window that he had removed in the beginning, he opened it, rummaged through the contents, and lifted it up to show him some documents, like... travel documents? An airplane ticket? He took it from the other party's hand. Open it and make sure it's real.

“Patrick...”

He perked up at the sound of his voice. and his eyes widened when the other person held a small velvet box in his hand.

“Pat...will you marry me?”
