Daniel Warren, ep.4

In a silent room, Daniel's questions still pending in mid-air.

"Was it you that day?"

Warren's tight grip.

Nails peck into the palm until the blood seeps.

He's been waiting for this question for so long.

But when it really arrived,

The heart returned so heavy that he could barely speak.

"Answer me."

Warren slipped his eyes down.

... "if I say yes."

The sound was so soft that it was almost missing.

"And what will change?"

Daniel's disruption.

That question immediately stabbed him in the chest.

Warren looked up, eyes ruddy.

"For years, he believed in others."

"He left me to be seen as a shadow."

Still tone

But full of pain.

"Now that you know the truth... is that important?"

Daniel moved closer.

"Important."

The tone was so strong that Warren was trembling.

"Because the man I've always been looking for... has always been by my side."

Warren went.

Daniel reached out.

Touch the scar on his shoulder gently.

That touch made Warren flinch.

"I remember."

"This notch... same position."

Daniel looked at him.

"You saved me."

"And you let me be mistaken for years."

Warren chuckled.

Both tears

Daniel's still.

"I think if I say it, it's like I'm taking something from others."

Hannah immediately pushed the door in.

"That's enough!"

Both turned in together.

"Why him?!"

"Why did He finally choose to believe him?!"

Daniel looked at her still.

"Because I'm listening to the truth."

Hannah laughed it off.

But the sound was shaking.

"The truth?"

"The truth is, I have always been by your side!"

"He chose to be quiet himself!"

Warren clenched a tight punch.

Daniel immediately stepped out to block him.

That action brought Hannah to a standstill.

Because it's so obvious -

Daniel is protecting Warren.

Not him.

Hannah was in tears.

"I love you..."

Daniel replied cold.

"You hurt innocent people."

"And that's not love."

Hannah was trembling.

Before the eyes turn hard

Hannah took the dagger out of the sleeve.

"Then don't he have it!"

Hannah immediately charged towards Warren.

But Daniel is more sensitive.

He pulled Warren towards himself.

Shh.

A knife stabbed into Daniel's arm.

Blood flows immediately.

"Your Majesty!"

Warren opened his eyes wide.

The guards came together.

Catch Hannah down to the area, screaming insane.

But Daniel doesn't care at all.

His eyes only look at Warren.

"Are you okay?"

Warren was trembling.

Tears came out in the end.

"Why are you protecting me..."

Daniel smiled thin, and the blood was flowing.

"Because this time... it's my turn to protect you."

The healing room that night.

The Royal Doctors are wrapping a wound to Daniel's arm.

The wounds aren't so deep.

But everyone stampeded the whole palace.

Only Warren stood still by the bed.

His hands still shook non-stop.

The knife shot came in.

Still stuck in the head, not recovered

"It's done."

The royal doctor fell head before retreating.

The door closed.

Only both are left.

Daniel looked at him.

"You're not leaving yet."

... "He was wounded because of me."

Daniel smiled thin.

"At least you're still worried about me."

"I'm just doing my job."

That answer made Daniel chuckle.

"Duty again."

He moved up.

But because the strained wound immediately made the face pale

Warren rushed into the cradle without thinking.

"Don't move!"

Both interrupted.

Because Warren just realized that he accidentally expressed his feelings.

Daniel looked at him still.

Before slowly reaching for the other hand and touching his wrist.

"If it were just a duty... you wouldn't be so shocked."

Warren immediately pulled his hand back.

"He should rest."

He turned to walk away.

But Daniel grabbed his hem.

"Don't go."

Warren, stop.

"Stay with me tonight."

"He has enough people to take care of."

Daniel shook his face.

"But I want it to be you."

That answer made Varrenning go.

Stay quiet for a long time

Finally, he sighed.

And sit down by the bed.

Daniel smiled faintly.

"Are you weak?"

Warren replied simply.

"Don't think too much."

But both know it.

This is the first time in years.

That Warren would be on his side without duty.

-

Daniel fell asleep because of the drug effect.

But the hand still held the warren hem tight.

Like afraid that he will disappear

Warren looked at those hands still.

Before gently touching Daniel's arm wound with his finger.

The tone was faint, barely audible.

"Why are you taking me instead?..."

Although he tried to retreat

Tried to cut

But Daniel pulled him back in.

Suddenly -

Daniel's voice grew louder and closed his eyes.

"Because I'm afraid of losing you."

Warren flinched.

Daniel opened his eyes slowly.

Glittered eyes, but serious.

"I once lost you when you were in front of me."

"I will never make a mistake again."

He quickly shied away.

Because he was afraid that the other side would see tears

But Daniel raised his hand.

Gently stroking his cheek

"Warren..."

The voice is as gentle as it never was.

"Give me a chance."

Warren, close your eyes tight.

Because this is the word he has been waiting for his whole life

But the pain that has accumulated for a long time

No, it may only disappear for one night.

He slowly took Daniel's hand off his cheek.

And speak softly

"I still can't answer."

Daniel went still.

But didn't let go of his hand.

Instead, hold it tighter than before.

"Then I'll wait."

"No matter how long."

Warren didn't answer.

But this time...

He didn't pull his hand back.
