I can feel someone's soft touch on my cheek. I wonder who it might be. I slowly opened my eyes.

"Princess…"

Leonus was lying on his right side next to me while supporting his head with one hand. He was wearing a white shirt.

"Leonus?"

For some reason, he looks surprised. 

But soon, he gently smiled and said,

"Yes. What is it, Princess?"

"Am I dreaming? I must be."

Yes. He will never come here. He hates me.

"Who knows? Maybe you are."

Leonus said while kissing a strand of my hair. 

Shaa~

I can hear the sound of steady rain. It's depressing…

"...I want to wake up."

I don't want to stay in this depressing atmosphere. No. More than that, I don't want to see him. Or else, I will become greedy...

"Why? Do you hate me that much?"

"What? I don't dare. How can I hate you…"

Although you have every reason to hate me…
