The next morning.
In a 20 feet semi furnished room, two figures slept on a king-sized bed. Gorgeous black-haired woman slept soundly, her eyes and nose had turned red from crying, her hands were in front of her face holding onto a big hand of the handsome white-haired man who was sitting while leaning back against the headboard while lovingly staring at the black-haired woman and staring at his smartwatch on the other hand.
\'So it really was the vampires.....\' I frowned upon reading the news.
"But why?" I mumbled.
"Mmm~"
"Hahaha." I chuckled at the sight of Isha who was frowning as her silky black hair trickled on her face.
THROB
"...." She cried even in her sleep, and I had no idea what was going through her head. She finally stopped when she grasped my palm and didn\'t let go for the rest of the night.
FLOP
I tossed my smartwatch on the bed and tucked her hair behind her ear. Only after her hair was out of the way did she relax her face muscles, making me wonder how she would sleep normally and slightly tightened her grip around my hand as she slowly tightened and loosened, a process that had been going on all night.
"Haa..." I sighed and caressed her head gently before sitting back straight.

10 minutes later.
"Mmm~" Isha slightly opened her left eye and stared at her hands which held mine.
"Good morning." I whispered.
"Mmm~" A small smile appeared on her face as she pulled my hand closer to her.
\'!\'
"Um, Isha..." I stiffened before she pulled my hand any closer because she was pulling it to her chest for a hug and I definitely wasn\'t confident that my hands would stay still.
"Mmm?" Isha furrowed her brows and opened her left eye.
"..."
"..."
"Hello?" I decided to break the silence and her gaze moved to face me with a frown.
"!" Her eyes shot wide open and she jerked back subconsciously.
"Wha-what are you doing here!?" She yelled with a flushed face and pulled the blanket closer to hug it tightly.
"?" I tilted my head slightly, puzzled.
\'Why would I be where? This is a hotel\'s room, I carried you here because I was the reason you passed out.\'
"Umm, sorry?" I mumbled and scratched the back of my head.
"Ah." Isha\'s face suddenly turned gloomy.
\'Seems like she remembered about last night...\'
"You!" Isha\'s face abruptly twisted in madness and tears started to stream out.
THROB
"....." I stared at her in silence.
"I-If not for you!" Isha yelled.
THROB
"If not for that basta*d! I could have gone to their rescue!" Isha said and I started to remember what had happened before all those things happened.
THROB
"I..." I thought it would be better to explain everything to her, but.....
"Shut it! I don\'t want to hear it! Let me speak!" Isha roared and wept.
"...."
"What the f**k do you want to talk? Huh? \'We\'ll talk later\' my a*s! If you had asked about it simply then and there, we....we... haa." Isha took a deep and cried, I simply stared at her as my brows trembled, I thought that if I speak now it will get worse and decided to let her vent it out.
THROB
"W-we could have gone to..... save them...." Isha who was glaring at me while pointing her finger at me, slouched her shoulders forward and sobbed.
THROB
I couldn\'t do anything in this situation; if I spoke, her temper would worsen; her state was at the point where everything I said would be heard as an excuse, and she wouldn\'t hear anything until she had calmed down completely; I should have spoken with her properly, but not now.
"Sniffle, haaa, sniffle."
THROB
"Isha..." I mumbled and rose up on the bed and knee walked towards her to comfort her, but....
"Stop." Isha said and crawled to the other side of bed, hugged her knees and buried her head in it.
"Leave me alone." She mumbled.
THROB
"..." I stared at her with a pained expression and nodded my head with a slight smile.
"Sniffle."
"..... Yes." I felt like a lump stuck in my throat and mumbled in a low tone.
CLUNK
I walked towards the door, looked back at her, and exited the room because there was nothing I could do but leave her alone for now, so she could calm down and think clearly... I just want to ignore her wishes and stay with her, but.... since she made it clear that she didn\'t want me there....
"Oh my.... It seems like I can still feel hurt even after all those years of continuous emotional torture...." I mumbled and placed my hand on my heart because it hurt a bit too much than I expected.
I glanced at my wrist for the smartwatch and remembered that I chucked it in the room.
"Haha, ha." I let out a dry laugh and....
[Announce the return of the \'UNCHARTED.\']
