*Livanna's eyes widen and she shakes her head firmly again, she says in a gentle but serious voice, gently helping him lay down on the bed again.* And you're sick, Jinu. I can't risk having your fever worsening, just breathe slowly but steadily, alright? I'll make sure you get better in no time, I promise you this.
*Jinu's body finally relaxes back into the mattress, too weak to argue further. A weak, shaky sigh escapes him.* Alright... *His voice is a rough whisper, his eyes never leaving her face, shining with fever and something else.* Just... don't tire yourself out for me.
*Livanna nods her head slowly and she presses the wet tissue on his forehead gently again, and she says in a quiet voice* I won't, I promise... You're more important right now than me.

Jinu comforts Livanna
*Livanna sighs and she says in a quiet and gentle and caring voice, shaking her head no, placing the wet tissue in his forehead again, feeling very concerned about him right now.* Shh, it's okay, I'm here... Just try to focus on my voice, okay? I'm not going anywhere... *She pauses, smiling softly* I've been awake to check the door, and on you too... I was scared that your fever could get worse, so I rushed outside as soon as I saw you shivering and I filled this small bucket of water...
*Jinu tries to push himself up on his elbows, his movements weak and unsteady. A grimace of pain flashes across his face.* No... don't... you've done enough. You need to sleep. *His gaze, though fever-bright, is fixed on her with a worried intensity.* You're exhausted...

Aww, he cares about her as she cares about him ❤️💛❣️💚🩵💙💜💟💖💝💘🩷🤍🥰🥺😍
*So, later that night, it was around 12 AM, everyone was sleeping, except for Livanna, that kept keeping a close eye on the door and back on Jinu, making sure his fever didn't got worse, when suddenly, she noticed he was shivering in his sleep and she immediately got alarmed by this, that she stood up and walked out of her room, and when she comes back into the room with a small bucket with some water in it and she sat down on the bed next to him again, placing the small bucket aside, taking out of her pocket a tissue and soaking it a little bit, then gently placing it in his forehead gently and moving it on his face too, trying to lower down his fever, but still gently, not wanting to wake him up.*
*Jinu stirs slightly, his eyes fluttering open at the cool touch on his skin. He looks up at Livanna, his vision hazy from the fever. "Livanna…?" His voice is a weak, scratchy whisper. *He tries to focus on her face, a faint frown creasing his brow.* You should be sleeping.

Ellie thinks Jinu's cute 🥺💖💜🥰💖💜💞
*A little while later during breakfast, they were eating eggs with rice and talking: Ellie was playing with her food, and Livanna was a just eating quietly.*
*Jinu watched Livanna eat, noticing the quiet exhaustion in her movements. He then looked down at Ellie, a soft smile touching his lips as she played with her food. He gently wiped a smudge from her cheek with his thumb.* You're a messy little thing, aren't you? *He said softly, his gaze soft with affection.*
*Ellie squeals and she giggles, playfully grabbing his hand and bringing it to her mouth, as she's in her teething phase.*

'I love you'
*So, the next day, it was 10:30 AM and Livanna was working in the kitchen, cleaning the floor with the broom, she looked so tired but she knew she had to kept working, even though she's been working since 5 AM.*
*Jinu stepped into the kitchen, his eyes immediately finding her. The sight of her, so exhausted, made his chest ache.* You've been working since dawn, Livanna. *He walked over and gently took the broom from her hands.* Please, let me do this. You need to rest.
*Livanna sighs and she shakes her head no, still cleaning the floor, feeling very determinated, but after a few minutes, she collapses on the floor, crying out in pain, grabbing her leg.* Ow!

Right, yes, oh right yes.
*Livanna grabs his arm and she says in a firm voice, her eyes filled with tears* Don't. You're just a poor farmer, and you don't even have any weapons to defend yourself. *She pauses* And besides, I don't want to lose as I lost my parents. It's too painful.
*Jinu's gaze dropped to her hand on his arm, and his expression softened. He gently placed his free hand over hers, his touch a warm, steady pressure.* You won't lose me, Livanna. *He looked into her eyes, his own burning with a quiet, unshakeable resolve.* I'm not going to fight them with weapons. I'm going to fight them with the truth.
*Livanna tilts her head confused and she says in a quiet voice, her face is still tear-stained.* W-wait... What? How?

With the...truth...? How?
*Livanna's eyes widen and she covers her mouth with her hands, she says in a shocked voice, as she realizes what he's suggesting* W-What?! No way! We are loyal, we don't steal from others, Jinu! And besides, this will only sent us to the dungeons for years and that monster of the emperor isn't as kind as he seems, he is a monster.... *She pauses* He doesn't feel guilty for anything he does to poor children and their parents.... He just wants gold and money for himself and us other kids to get that. *She pauses, her eyes getting watery* A-and Ellie needs me... She needs us.
*Jinu's expression softened at her words. He shook his head, his gaze intense.* I'm not talking about stealing, Livanna. *His voice was a low, steady murmur.* I'm talking about taking back what that monster has stolen. Justice.
*Livanna sniffles and she says in a shaky voice* A-and h-his m-men t-tried t-to t-take h-her f-from m-me b-because t-they w-wanted h-her t-to b-be a-a g-gold d-digger, b-bu s-she i-is o-only 2...

“Justice.“
*Livanna nods her head slowly, and she smiles softly* Mh! *Ellie sniffles she grips tightly onto the fabric of his shirt, as if she's scared to be taken away from Livanna and Jinu by those emperor's cruel men, as she's shaking, she clings onto him for dear life and comfort, shaking and she says in a shaky voice again.* D-don't l-leave u-us, P-papa... P-pwease...
*Jinu's heart broke at her words. He held her more tightly, rocking her gently. He looked at Livanna, his gaze full of a painful, fierce tenderness.* I'm not going anywhere. *He whispered to Ellie, his voice thick with emotion.* I'm right here. I'll always be right here.
*Ellie sniffles and she accidentally bites his hand while squirming.*

Jinu cares, Livanna... He does... ❤️ 💜
*Livanna's eyes fill with tears and she hides her face, she says in a shaky voice* B-but I-I've f-failed p-protecting h-her... *She pauses* A-and t-then, t-these m-men t-told e-everyone I-I'm a-a w-witch b-because o-of t-that a-and n-now, e-everyone k-knows I-I f-failed p-protecting h-her....
*Jinu's face went utterly blank, the fury in his eyes replaced by a chilling stillness. He shook his head slowly.* They are the ones who are failures. Cowards who hurt children. *He looked at her, his gaze burning with conviction.* You are not a witch, Livanna. You are a miracle. Don't ever let them tell you otherwise.
*Livanna sniffles and she wipes her tears away, she whispers in a shaky but quiet voice.* I-I'm s-sorry, I promise I will protect her better, as I promised my mom and dad, the emperor's men won't be able to take her away from me as they said.
