Episode 16: Cuddles

That night, Haru was sleeping in the room she was staying. There were two entities standing in front of her. One is a black one and one is a white one. They two were whispering her name again, again and again. This have been happening ever since she took candy from two woman who she thought was her aunts. Well, she was 4 at that time.

At first, she tried ignoring their whispers. Later, it became louder as they were screaming. The black one smirked and showed it's really sharp teeth. It really scared Haru. The white one decided to attack the black one. Blood splashed everywhere. It seems the black one won. His eyes became red. He chases after Haru. 'No. No. No. No. No!'

"NOOO!" Haru screamed that made Kang surprised. "Nightmares?" asked Kang. "Why aren't you sleeping?" asked Haru while looking at the clock. It was 3:00 am. "I usually don't sleep that early during weekends or holidays." said Kang. "I'm a little scared." She said while showing a timid emotion.

"Well... you could sleep beside me...." muttered Kang while blush a little bit. Haru was shocked than she blushed. She became red as a tomato. "You're not t-thinking a-anything, r-right?!" Haru became reder than ever. 'Sleeping beside a boy?! I only slept beside dad before but that's different!' thought Haru. "Hey! My therapist said some people need to sleep beside other people if they have nightmares." Explained Kang while blushing. He was red too.

"F-fine. I-I'll sleep beside you... B-But d-don't get any ideas, ok?!" said Haru. She climbed out of her bed. He made some space for Haru. Haru lay down on the bed. She still blushing. "Y-you're n-not s-sleeping?" asked Haru while looking at the other way. "I'll sleep soon. Go catch some z's, okay?" said Kang. "N-night." said Haru then she headed the other way.

She looks cute when she sleeping. Cuter than when she was younger. Hah?! Kang, what are you thinking?! Damn it. Now I'm red as a tomato! Sigh. I'll sleep now.

He lays down beside Haru. He leans over. He put his arms around Haru's waist. "Ermm.." Haru was mumbling. "Don't worry... I'm not going to do anything to you.." Kang whispers at her ear. "Mm..." Kang didn't think about sleep. He was only thinking about the girl in his arms. He kissed Haru's forehead. 'Night...' Kang fell asleep.

Haru woke up. She realized Kang was holding her while she was sleeping...

Finally, after minutes of slowly getting out of Kang's arm, Haru got out. 'I should take a shower.' Thought Haru. Haru got some clean clothes from the dresser. She went into the shower.

I'm really worried. Did he do anything to me? I can't stop thinking about it. I'm really worried....
