Chapter 31 - Wings of Love

The first rays of sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room.

Yuna slowly blinked her eyes open, her mind still clouded with sleep.

A whisper echoed in her head…

"Please don't go…"

And then— that moment.

The warmth of his lips against hers.

A shiver ran down her spine as the memory surfaced.

"Was… was that a dream?"

The thought alone sent a rush of warmth through her chest.

But then…

She felt it.

The steady, rhythmic breathing of someone beside her.

Her body tensed.

Slowly, cautiously, she turned her head—

And froze.

Eunwoo was lying next to her.

Still asleep.

Her breath hitched.

Everything that happened last night…

It wasn't a dream.

It was real.

Heat rushed to her face.

Without thinking, she yanked the blanket over her head.

"I didn't see anything. Nothing happened. Nope, nope, nope!"

But then—

The blanket was pulled up.

Eunwoo was awake now, looking down at her with a lazy, amused smile.

"Don't get the wrong idea," he murmured, his voice husky from sleep. "We only kissed."

Only kissed?!

Yuna felt her soul leave her body.

"E-Eunwoo! W-Why would you say that?!"

Eunwoo smirked, leaning in slightly.

"Because last night… you were the one who wouldn't let me go, Yuna."

BAM!

Yuna's brain short-circuited.

Eunwoo chuckled softly, clearly enjoying this.

"And do you know what else you said to me?"

Yuna instantly covered her face with her hands.

"No! Please! I was drunk! I don't remember anything!"

Eunwoo tilted his head. "Are you sure?"

And just like that—

He lifted the blanket completely.

And slipped underneath it.

Yuna's entire body stiffened.

Now, he was on top of her.

His face… was just inches away from hers.

And then—

A soft, golden light began to radiate from his body.

Yuna gasped.

The glow expanded from his back…

And within seconds—

His true form emerged.

Massive, white, majestic wings.

Yuna's heart pounded violently.

Because in that moment—

The memory of that night came flooding back.

Falling…

The angel who had caught her mid-air.

And now, he was right in front of her.

Eunwoo's silvery hair shimmered, his golden eyes glowed with an intensity that sent chills down her spine.

A real angel.

But also… irresistibly alluring.

Yuna was completely mesmerized.

"Y-You…" she whispered.

A slow, dangerous smile spread across Eunwoo's lips.

"Last night, I saw the feather in the box."

Yuna's eyes widened.

"And the fact that you kept it…" he continued, his voice low and teasing. "…I liked that."

Yuna's heart was about to explode.

But worst of all…

Eunwoo was still on top of her.

And she couldn't stop staring at his lips.

Eunwoo leaned in, his lips barely brushing against her ear.

"Do you want me to remind you what else you said last night?" he whispered.

Yuna's breath caught in her throat.

And she realized…

She was dangerously close to kissing him again.
