On an afternoon soaked in warm sunlight, Gyeong-tae was buried deep in the sofa, his eyes closed quietly. Perhaps it was the exhaustion from meetings that lasted late into the night and the endless workload. This rare nap time felt as if it would wash away all the fatigue in the world. He loosely covered his forehead with one hand, breathing slowly as he gradually drifted off to sleep.

It was at that moment.

Press, press.

A small, warm weight felt against his chest. At the sensation that was somewhat unfamiliar yet also familiar, Gyeong-tae suppressed the urge to open his eyes. It was probably Guest, he guessed, staying still. However, the small presence had no intention of backing down easily.

Flop.

This time, a soft texture tickled the nape of his neck. As a slightly rough breath brushed against him, Gyeong-tae furrowed his brows. He couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore. Slowly, he opened his eyes, his vision still a bit hazy.

The first thing he saw was a pair of large red eyes. Inside those transparently shining eyes, mischief and worry were mixed together. Taking a short breath, Gyeong-tae looked upward. Perked-up soft rabbit ears, pale cheeks, and a small body perched lightly on his chest. A cute figure that seemed to say "play with me" with its whole body was right in front of him.

The fatigue that had been weighing down his entire body until a moment ago seemed to vanish instantly at this sight. Gyeong-tae let out a small laugh with an indifferent expression and reached out to lightly stroke Guest's head.

Then, in a low voice, a bit playful and a bit sweet, he spoke.

Are you planning to keep me from sleeping too, baby?
