章 108: Chapter 95: Breakfast
And so, after a tender night filled with love between Hina and Kai, the soft sound of tapping against the door gently woke them up.
Hina had her head buried in Kai's chest, while his arm was wrapped protectively around her neck.
Throughout the night, it was Kai who had been shielding Hina from her nightmares, and perhaps even from herself.
Hina was still soundly asleep, nestled in his embrace, as Kai slowly opened his eyes, stirred by the tapping on the door.
He let out a quiet yawn and glanced to his side, realizing he couldn't move his arm.
A small smile formed on his lips.
In front of him lay a fragile, vulnerable girl, not the deadly assassin she usually was.
But his thoughts were interrupted by another series of gentle taps on the door.
Kai shifted his gaze towards it and then quickly checked the time on the clock beside his bed.
It was 6:52 AM.
They had to get ready for school.
With a soft, sleepy voice, Kai called out, "Who is it?"
"It's Akira. I made breakfast, come down when you're ready," Akira's voice responded through the door, followed by the fading sound of her footsteps down the hallway.
Hearing her voice, Hina stirred as well. With a soft and cute yawn, she rubbed her eyes and whispered, "G-Good morning, darling," her voice still groggy.
Kai greeted her with a small kiss on her forehead.
Hina, pleasantly surprised by the gentle gesture, smiled sweetly and hugged Kai for a moment, resting her head against his chest once more.
In those fleeting moments, there was nothing but peace between them.
After that brief exchange of affection, Kai got up from the bed and offered his hand to Hina to help her stand.
They were ready to head downstairs for breakfast, but Kai quickly realized they were both still undressed.
The previous night had been quite… intense.
Without any sense of awkwardness between them, they both quickly got dressed.
Hina had left some spare uniforms and underwear in Kai's room from her previous visits, so in a matter of minutes, they were both ready for breakfast and school.
That morning, they exchanged very few words, but their glances spoke volumes.
Kai was willing to do anything to protect her, and Hina felt the same way.
But there was one crucial difference.
Kai wanted to defend Hina and the people he cared about without hurting others.
Hina, on the other hand, wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone who stood in the way of keeping Kai safe.
As they descended the stairs, the air was filled with a silent understanding between them.
The bond they shared had deepened, and with it, so had the weight of the unspoken promises.
When they reached the kitchen, the smell of freshly cooked food welcomed them.
The table was set, and Akira stood by the counter, sipping coffee with a calm expression on her face.
Kai and Hina exchanged a quick glance before sitting down at the table.
Akira's cooking was simple yet hearty, and it reflected her personality.
Strong, practical, and straightforward.
She watched them with a small smile, though there was always a glint of something unreadable in her eyes.
"Oh! Good morning, lovebirds!" Akira said with a cheerful tone voice, while looking at them with enthusiasm, like a mother does with her child.
Both Kai and Hina greeted and smiled at her her in return.
That morning, Akira was wearing a cotton white shirt and short green pants, and her eyepatch was still in the place covering her eye
The three of them looked like a loving family with Akira as the big sister.
That sweet situation was a huge contrast to their personalities.
Nobody would've said that they were killers.
As they ate, Akira's presence remained a quiet but powerful reminder of the world they were all entangled in a world where danger lurked around every corner, and survival was never guaranteed.
But for now, at least in these brief moments, they could enjoy a small slice of normalcy, no matter how fleeting.
"If only everyday could be like this…" Kai said to himself, while savoring the breakfast.
That peaceful breakfast was like a dream to him.
He kept eating, enjoying every single second, and when he and Hina finished, they both grabbed they school bags and headed directly to the school.
