However...
Bonnie had the same idea as Jim, too.
This unknown darkness that was before them could be the most dangerous thing they would ever face, so how could she possibly allow Jim to face it himself?
She still remembered...
When they met at the orphanage, Jim had told her before that he was secretly afraid of the dark.
During the past year they had been together, Bonnie would sometimes tease him for being afraid of the dark.
Even though her feelings toward Jim were more governed by disgust rather than love at this moment, it did not change the fact that the past Jim and the current Jim were the same people, so they shared the same fears.
As soon as she thought of this, she grew even more determined to go with him. "If you don't bring me along, I won't let you go in there."
A surge of warmth spread through Jim's heart at the sound of this.
He turned to stare at Bonnie, whose eyes were etched with determination and worry.
He knew she was not throwing a tantrum or deliberately trying to challenge him, but she was truly concerned about his safety and wanted to face this danger with him.
As he gazed at Bonnie's face, the image of Bonnie sitting in his lap with her arms around her neck, telling him that there was nothing to be afraid of in the dark, appeared in his mind.
In this scenario, Bonnie was wearing a red nightgown, and her hair spilled on her shoulders, making her look gentle and kind.
She was staring at him with the same determined, concerned look and pressed a small kiss on his throat. "Don’t worry. I'll be here with you. If you’re ever afraid of the dark in the future, you can come to me."
Jim's heart leaped into his throat as a strange feeling surged into his heart.
This was not a figment of his imagination but a real memory.
It felt more real to him than anything he had ever experienced!
