Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Serenity woke up to the sound of television and sat up the moment she opened her eyes. But her mind still felt a little cloudy.

An entertainment program just ended, followed by the most popular Korean drama, playing on the loudest volume.

Gabriel was taking his time with the meal at the dining table with his broad back facing her.

She removed the hairband on her wrist, tied up her hand, slipped into the bedroom slippers, and walked to the dining room. “When did you come back?”

Gabriel looked up at her and casually said, “Do 1 have to tell you when 1 come back?”

She let out a light cough and rubbed her flat stomach. As she watched him finish up the dishes, she pursed her lips and said, “1 haven’t eaten yet…”

Gabriel was extremely hungry because he only had two scoops of his lunch earlier. His dark eyes were almost devoid of light as he coldly said, “I didn’t ask you to wait for me.”

It must have been wishful thinking on her part, based on his indifference and coldness.

Serenity was shocked by his attitude. She did not understand what was wrong with him. He was fine during the day and yet now it was as if he had turned into a different person at night.

She noticed the bandage on his left hand, pursed her lips, and did not say anything else. The growl in her tummy prompted her to get herself a plate from the kitchen before joining him at the dining table.

Once they were done, Serenity did the dishes while Gabriel took a shower. After she was done, Serenity took the ointment she bought from the coffee table and knocked on his bedroom door. There was no answer.

She pushed the door open and entered – Gabriel was still in the bathroom. For a moment, Serenity wondered if she should wait until he was done showering. Finally, she approached the bathroom door and said, “Don’t let the wound come into contact with water.”

Silence greeted her.

She waited in the bedroom for a while longer and heard the bathroom door clicking. Gabriel came out of the bathroom, with only a towel wrapped around his lower half. His honey-colored skin was glistening with water that dripped down from his hair and onto his well-defined body.

Gabriel did not expect her to be around still because he was momentarily stunned at the sight of her before regaining his composure and drying his hair silently.

Serenity looked at his left hand and noticed that he had removed the bandage, allowing the water to soak the wound.

With a frown and slight agitation in her voice, Serenity said, “Didn’t 1 tell you not to let the water touch your wound?”

Serenity was already approaching him with the ointment in hand as she spoke. Just as she touched his hand, he pulled back as if he had been electrocuted. “It’s late and you’re still in a man’s room. Why? You want to climb into my bed?”

His harsh words shocked her as she looked up at him with clear bright eyes.

His heart skipped a beat and he quickly avoided her gaze as he walked to the window while drying his hair. The curtains were not closed yet so he focused his attention on the tall buildings with flashing neon lights. “It’s getting late. I need to rest.”

Serenity turned to look at him, only to be greeted with his cold back. Her heart was filled with bitterness as she looked away and placed the ointment on the table. “Remember to apply the ointment yourself.”

The moment he heard the room door close, Gabriel finally turned around and looked at the ointment on the table. Then, he threw the towel in his hand onto the sofa in frustration..
