Chapter 7

“No,” he said, but he recalled that after he had carried her back to the rental apartment when he wanted to put her on the bed, she had clung to him.

When he went to lay her down, she pulled him onto the bed and rolled until she was on top of him.

In the past, when he was young, his father would always look into his eyes and become lost in thought. His father would mutter to him, “The kind of eyes you have are deceptive. They look like they’re very emotional, but in reality, they’re the most heartless. I don’t know if you will be emotional or heartless in the future.”

“They’re clean…” She ran her fingertips across his brow. “Clear.”

He sneered. She was drunk. Of course, his eyes were clean or clear or whatever. He’d showered this morning.

“It’s like… They have never been tainted by any sin… They’re clean…” She was so drunk that she didn’t seem to notice that her face was almost touching his. “Jay, don’t be afraid… I will… protect you…”

After saying that, she lay on his chest and fell asleep.
