Umm." Wade turns his naked back from Kevin and continues sleeping.
Kevin stares at Wade's pale and skinny back. There are traces of
red marks that he himself placed there while tossing his 'wife' in bed.

Kevin smiles and covers Wade's exposed back fearing he might catch cold.
He once again flips the notebook in his hand.

The notebook is more like a diary. And it was written by so many people and not just one person.
The first author is a foreigner no...a transmigrator like him.
He is transmigrated with a golden finger, the red stone. It is not the whole bracelet but just one of those stones that is really magical.

It's a typical shounen manga rebirth story.
With a golden finger, they will be able to live better than others or maybe, the best.
But of course all golden fingers or cheats have to be used wisely. Even guns are nothing when given to a dumb person.

The first author called the red stone as a door or a portal to a treasure trove.

But the author didn't specifically talk about the treasure trove.
He talks about his life and his life journey, his wise plans and his glorious days.
It is more like bragging.

But Kevin patiently read the whole text.
He doesn't care if this person is boasting. Now that the owner of this 'miraculous treasure trove portal' is his 'wife' he needs to make sure that that place is safe and secure.
If not, what about riches?
There is a saying in his country despite people living a harsh life.
'It's just money, you can still earn it back'.

Life on the other hand, even if you beg tears of blood, unless you are God, how are you going to bring back the dead?

Kevin, at first, treated Wade as his other half faithfully.
But that is because he doesn't have anyone and being in a place without much information, settling down quietly is a must for him who was abandoned and betrayed by his former boss and his country.

But now he realized that Wade is not just his other half.
Wade is that line that keeps him from sanity.

Rebirth  or transmigration might sound cool and has no such thing as emotional burden but in ŕeality it was not.
You will live carrying a dead person's body.
Looking at it everyday and talking and walking as him.
It is like making a dead person into a jacket and then wearing it.
It is uncomfortable.
It is plainly…..disgusting.

But Kevin never shows any reaction and just lived his life as is.
Despite being killed as a scapegoat?
How can you not feel anything after waking up after dying in a very awful death?
And not only that, he haunted the original host of the body and see his life as if he is his shadow.
He knows everything about the original owner like a ghost watching his victim.
Even he feels creepy deep inside.

After all that burden in his head…..Wade, this weak man, sweet and lovely, made him hold on to that line of sanity. He was needed.
Not the original owner of this body but him, Kevin finds a person that will need him and be fine with him.

Suddenly, when Wade disappear all he see was darkness.
It has no meaning.

"Still reading?" Wade rubs his eyes and looks at Kevin.

Kevin smiles and puts the notebook down.
He kisses Wade's forehead and puts his naked body on Wade,lightly.

Wade blushes and stares at Kevin.
"Let's sleep."

Kevin smiles and grabs him to his embrace.

Wade is still weak.
How can he toss him all night like he promised?
But once is enough to make the two of them happy.
It is enough to confirm that the warmth next to them is real.
