Ch. 9: The Lonely Prince (SUN)
…
In the night…-.
Orion: “OO…?”
Having woken up, Orion looked around the room in a panic.
Orion: “Did she…actually leave?”
Then he saw OO, asleep in a chair next to the bed. Seeing her there, a gentle smile broke over his face.
Then Orion moved to place a kiss on each of her eyelids…
But suddenly, he stopped.
For a while, he just looked at her, then…
Orion: “I’m sorry…”
His voice was a whisper, then Orion slowly got up and left the room.
…
Huh…just now, someone…
I opened my eyes at the noise, and saw that Orion, who was supposed to be asleep, was gone.
OO: “Oh no…!”
I panicked and ran out into the hallway.
Orion: “Take care of OO for me.”
I left the room, and saw Orion talking to the doctor down at the end of the hall.
Orion: “She told me she was running away. And yet I still hope for her to stay with me. So… if I’m with her, her heart won’t be able to rest.”
Orion…
The pain in his voice wrenched at my heart.
Bubbles drifted quietly from my lips and rose painfully towards the sky.
