The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 335
336 – Facing each other
Ross, who was leaning against Luna as if he was collapsing, vomited out the blood that had accumulated in his mouth, and a moment later he opened his mouth with difficulty, breathing heavily.
“… A promise to go back together. “I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you.”
“Roh, Ross… .”
Luna reflexively opened her mouth, but trailed off because she didn’t know what to say. Ross’s hand, which had been stroking Luna’s back as if to comfort her, fell helplessly to the floor, and the sound of Ross’ heavy breathing that had been tickling her ear suddenly cut off as if it were a lie.
The dream ended before Luna could say her last words to Ross, whose heart was no longer beating.
Luna woke up from a dream and opened her eyes with difficulty. Her mind was still dazed between dreams and reality. Luna closed her eyes again, which she had struggled to open, and waited for the slight dizziness to go away.
Last night, Luna was so excited about her long-awaited reunion with Ross that she had such a passionate reunion that her physical strength could not withstand it. Thanks to this, the muscles all over Luna’s body screamed.
The slight dizziness, headache, and muscle pain felt all over the body had a huge effect on making even Luna, a conscientious morning person, doze off in bed.
Luna was still tired even though she slept well without waking up once, so she absentmindedly thought about sleeping in a little later today… The warmth of another person right next to her reminded her of Ross and she quickly turned her head to her side.
Luna was able to find blue eyes looking at her. As if observing, the eyes were fixed on Luna’s face and were filled with affection as she looked at her beloved.
Ross, who must have been watching Luna sleeping next to her, was smiling happily with one arm resting on the pillow, supporting her head in a comfortable position.
Luna and Ross looked into each other’s eyes without saying a word for a while. Although we didn’t date for that long, we were able to see very well the affection in each other’s eyes even without saying a word.
The headache that seemed to be pressing heavily on Luna’s head disappeared without a trace, and her tired body became revitalized just by looking at her eyes filled with affection. How could she feel this good just having Ross by her side at the start of her day, she thought, Luna not hiding her happy smile.
“Why are you smiling so beautifully?”
There was a deep smile on Ross’ lips and voice as he said that. Luna thought about her answer for a moment and then answered with a shy smile.
“As soon as I wake up, I see the person I love.”
At Luna’s words, a laugh escaped Ross’ mouth. Ross, who was smiling happily, frowned slightly as if trying to hide her emotions.
“I couldn’t stand it if you were so lovely in the morning.”
Luna felt her heart beating faster than usual as she saw Ross saying that and smiling even brighter than before. She was so worried that she might have drooled while she was sleeping.
Luna, who was quietly checking the area around her mouth while removing the hair that stuck to her face, belatedly realized that she was naked without even a single thread of clothing on, and hurriedly pulled the blanket up to her chin.
Ross, who was looking at that scene, asked with cute eyes.
“After making love so hard yesterday… “Are you embarrassed now?”
“… “Because the morning is so bright.”
As Luna muttered in a whisper, Ross burst into laughter.
“I like it better because I can see Luna’s pretty face in detail.”
At those words, I felt like something was sinking in my chest, not just a blanket. It was such a heart-pounding thing for her to know that there was someone in this world who looked at her more directly than anyone else, she thought, and Luna for no reason changed the subject.
“Since when have you been watching?”
“what?”
Contrary to the question, the corners of Ross’s mouth turned up slightly, as if he was joking. Luna answered, wondering if Ross might have a bit of a sadistic streak.
“I was watching you sleep.”
“Not long ago.”
“… really?”
Luna, who was making eye contact, lowered her gaze and looked at Ross’ body. Unlike Luna, who still had traces of the night before still all over her body, Ross was not naked, but looked clean and neatly dressed, having probably even showered.
When Luna narrowed her eyes and looked at her suspiciously, Ross smiled and shook his head.
“I definitely warned you that I couldn’t stand it.”
While saying that, Ross brought his face close to her and lightly touched his lips. After a moment, he parted his lips and spoke in a voice full of affection at a distance so close that their breaths could mingle.
“I actually don’t know. “How long has it been?”
After saying that, Ross lightly kissed Luna’s lower lip again and continued talking.
“I just stared at you blankly because you were so pretty and lovely when you were sleeping.”
Feeling the presence of his heart pounding, Luna lightly bit Ross’s upper lip without causing any pain.
Then, while Luna, who was suddenly overcome by the urge to leave teeth marks on Ross’s arms, neck, and waist, was wondering why, Ross took out a bottle of cool water from the space warehouse.
Luna, who drank the water offered by Ross like a baby bird, looked into each other’s eyes and leaned closer to Ross. And we kissed passionately without even having to say who went first.

After the kiss that conveyed each other’s love, Luna looked into Ross’ eyes again and was only able to realize the change in Ross. These were not minor changes, they were things that could be recognized at a glance, but Luna did not realize them until much later.
“Ross, your eyes have returned to the blue color they used to be.”
“ok? okay?”
Seeing Ross scratching his head as if he didn’t know it, Luna looked into his eyes and explained the difference.
“Yesterday the eyes were light blue mixed with a black background, but today the eyes are bright blue like before. No, I think it has become more transparent.”
“Was it better yesterday?”
“No, Ross always looks better today than yesterday.”
Ross smiled brightly as if he couldn’t resist those words.
“If you speak lovingly, I can’t stand it twice.”
Seeing Ross’ gaze slowly lowering his eyes to his chest, Luna lifted Ross’s chin with her finger.
“And it became more lovely.”
“I don’t think we can ignore the impact of last night.”
Seeing Ross smiling slyly, Luna smiled and grabbed Ross’ face with both hands.
“Some of that, but not all.”
“then?”
The change in Ross wasn’t just about his eyes. The biggest change was the inner fire Luna felt when she saw people. Ross, whom she had met for the first time in a long time, was filled with a terrifying ember inside him, like an active volcano that seemed ready to burn and devour anything.
But today’s Ross reminded me of a cozy fireplace in a club room. Luna felt relieved to see that she was full of kindness, as if she would warm everyone up.
It wasn’t because Ross’ eyes had returned to their previous blue color, but because it was the kind Ross he remembered. Luna couldn’t resist the warmth and hugged Ross tightly, burying her face in his chest.
“Isn’t it because of Ross’ kindness?”
“… It’s my first time hearing this, but I can’t help it. “I’ll admit it.”
Luna laughed out loud without realizing it, feeling the happiness that only Ross could give in this world. Ross also smiled happily and gently stroked Luna’s back.
After they had been so close together for a while, feeling each other’s warmth, Ross opened his mouth in a cautious voice.
“Hey, Luna.”
“huh?”
“I plan to return to the capital for lunch.”
“Suddenly?”
Surprised, Luna looked up from Ross’ arms. Ross, who received Luna’s gaze, rubbed his forehead with an apologetic expression. Strangely, Luna became even more saddened by that sight and pouted her lips. She couldn’t even go on a proper date, and she had no idea that they would break up so quickly.
“I definitely realized this after meeting Luna’s family. “If I want to be with Luna for the rest of her life, I have to work harder than I do now.”
“Perhaps my father said something to Ross… ?”
When Luna, who became anxious and wondered if her father had said something bad to Ross, looked at her with shaking eyes, Ross urgently raised his hands.
“no. Luna’s family has all been good to me. “It was great to see how much Luna was loved by her family.”
Ross, with a truly happy smile, nodded slightly and said.
“It’s just that I want Luna to be happy by my side, so I have a desire to work a little harder and do my best. Sorry.”
Luna, who realized that there was regret in Ross’ eyes as he said that in a serious voice, pushed the regret to a corner of her mind.
“I was so happy that Ross took the time to come visit us. “It’s okay because I know better than anyone else that Ross is working hard for our future.”
Luna said, lightly kissing Ross’ cheek.
“Like Ross said, I love him best the way he is now. So, whenever you are having a hard time, come to me for comfort. “I will always be the person Ross is most comfortable with.”
Ross, who looked at Luna in silence for a moment at Luna’s sincere words, sighed and said.
“What if I make you not want to break up even more?”
“What can I do when I don’t want to break up?”
Ross, who was struck by Luna’s shameless answer that could have been Ariana’s, laughed for a while and then hugged Luna tightly and said in a whisper.
“I love you, Luna. “Even if I gave it my all, it wouldn’t be enough.”
Luna smiled softly and responded in a friendly voice to Ross’ confession.
“No, Ross already gave me everything.”
