Chapter 15: Ex-Boyfriend's Pestering

I bumped my head against his arm, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

He returned to the present moment after a while, blinked, and coughed lightly, "Nothing. Now sleep."

"Well, sing a song for me."

"I only know one song." He said seriously, "Don't laugh at me if I don't sing well."

Elias, probably afraid that I would keep bothering him, simply agreed to sing to me.

I agreed, closed my eyes, and prepared to listen to the heavenly voice.

And then...

"... Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky..."

Gosh, why did such a handsome man have a mouth?

If I had another chance, I would have gone to bed and slept well. Why did I beg him to sing a nursery rhyme for me?

When he finally finished the song, my ears were almost ruined.

"Please forgive me for not singing well." He was very modest.

I wanted to cry, but I had to pretend to appreciate it, "Honey, you're great. In fact, I think I'm very sleepy now, so why don't we each go to sleep?"
