Sequel to Lovers in the Night.
"No matter what lifetime you're living in," he slowly presses his body closer to her, softly pressing his dainty lips against her ear. "You are mine, the same way I am yours. Cheers to us, the Lovers in the Night."

"Did you sleep last night?" was the first word spoken to Yona at school. Why am I constantly hearing this question? She groggily opens her eyes and lifts her head off the desk.
She whines as she stretches her arms, "Why do people keep asking me that?" That was a rhetorical question, she knew herself that it was because she noticeably lacked sleep.
"Probably because you always look you didn't," Jungwon responds. When he sees that she's completely up, he nods his head, "Good morning."
"Morning." She doesn't dare look into his eyes out of fear. She didn't know how to face him after his grand confession yesterday. Furthermore, she couldn't help but also think about what Jieum told her.
He, on the other hand, seemed eager and she could sense that. His eyes were filled with wonder and hope as if he were a kitty begging for belly rubs. "I've noticed that you aren't dressed up today," he points out.
"Oh," she clears her throat. "I just didn't feel like doing so today." He hums, not dwelling on the thought much.
She notices that he wasn't wearing a face mask anymore. He got healed fast. It was almost inhuman, or she was overreacting.
"We still need to complete that group project," he brings a good point into light. Though he acted kiddish a lot of the time, there were notable maturity and practicality in him. Yona, on the other hand, enjoys her projects done last minute. "It's due tomorrow."
She agrees with a nod, "Do you want to finish it today? Where?" Somehow, she started caring more about punctuality.
He thinks for a bit. "We can do so at my house since I have most of the supplies there." He's inviting me over to his place?
It was so sudden for her so she couldn't help but wonder if he had underlying implications. However, he looked nonchalant. "Alright," she says in an attempted deadpan.
Then, Ms Shin enters class with a bright grin plastered all over her face. She greets everyone. As she does this, Jungwon rips off a piece of paper from his notebook, writes his address, and slides it toward Yona.
She reads it, "Why are you giving me this?"
"So that you know where to go," he says.
She makes an 'o' shape with her mouth, "I assumed that we'd walk there together."
He momentarily pauses, "Would you prefer that?"
"Why wouldn't I?" This response lifts some tension off of his back.
"It's because you look stiff," he shrugs as he looks down at her hands.
