/POV Alice/
[Everything is perfect under my control. From now on, he belongs to me.]
A creepy smile appeared on her face while she guided Sana to her home, holding his hand as they walked together.
[From now on, I can live with him… I'll make him completely mine.]
They relaxed on the sofa.
Sana felt something dangerous, but he asked curiously, "So, Alice…?"
Alice's eyes showed a hint of intensity.
Sana quickly corrected himself, his face blushing. "So… darling, what job will I do? Where will I sleep?" He looked at her with expectation.
[Oh, this guy is so naughty.]
She could feel his excitement and nervousness.
Alice smiled, pretending to be innocent to deceive him. "You can sleep in any room you want. The job is just to do everything I ask."
Sana's face turned red. "Really? But what is your first request?"
Alice smiled happily while looking at him with hope, clearly deep in thought. "I want you to sleep with me every day. Wake me up in the morning with your love. I want to hear your loving words before sleep and after waking up. And… kiss me anytime I want."
Sana nodded and smiled. "Yes, my love." His face was still red.
Alice mischievously said, "You're so cute when you blush." Then she demanded, "Kiss me now."
Sana hesitated, but her eyes looked at him with strong desire. He had no choice but to move his lips toward hers again.
[So easy to trap him… you're so innocent, my hero.]
And she kissed him deeply.
After a moment, Sana said, "I want you to promise me something."
Alice's expression slightly dimmed.
[If he tries to escape me, I won't let him go, no matter what I have to do.]
Sana could feel the danger, but his expression stayed determined. "First, about kissing—don't kiss in public or do anything related to that."
Alice nodded.
Sana continued, "Second, anything I say, you must trust me 100%."
[What if he lies to me? I can easily notice it… but still, what if he betrays me?]
Her face showed a small trace of fear.
Sana noticed it. "Don't worry, I won't betray you. If I lie to you, it will only be for your own good."
Her calculations continued…
[His probability of sacrificing himself for me is 100%. So I don't need to worry about betrayal. But if he leaves me for my own good… I will never accept that. I want him beside me until the end of the world.]
Her face turned worried as she held his hand, trembling. "Promise me… always stay by my side. Don't leave me." Her eyes filled slightly with tears. "I don't want to see you die before me."
Sana was taken aback by her sincerity.
He hugged her and gently stroked her back. "I don't know if I can promise that… but if you're in danger, I would even die for you."
Her eyes filled with tears.
Sana looked at her tearful eyes and gently wiped them.
His voice turned serious. "But I want you to be able to stand on your own, even when I'm not around."
Her heart felt warm from his words, but she still hesitated.
[But without you… how can I…? I rely on you too much…]
Alice shook her head. "No. If I die, I want to die with you too. You're so selfish—only thinking about yourself."
She pouted.
Sana was taken aback by her words. His face darkened slightly.
