Brandon sat propped up against the headboard with Jiyeon straddling his lap naked, her purple hair falling over her shoulders as she looked at him with a mixture of curiosity and affection.
Her fingers pressed into his cheeks, pulling and stretching them playfully.
"You've really changed a lot, Kael,"
His lips curled faintly under the pull of her fingertips, and his gaze softened as he tilted his head slightly, letting her play with him. "Maybe… but for you, I'm still that Baek Taewon who was madly in love with Nari Jiyeon."
The words struck her, and her teasing fingers froze for a moment.
Slowly, her eyes glistened with warmth and her lips parted before curving into the faintest, tender smile.
"Taewon…" she whispered, the sound of his old name tasting almost foreign on her lips and yet so comforting.
Her chest swelled, a wave of nostalgia wrapping around her "I really like your Korean name."
