Jiyeon totally erased from her mind about asking Taeyang about why he stayed with her that night. This was surely done out of friendship, and there was no need to make the matters awkward by probing into this topic. This is how Jiyeon managed to convince herself.
But when Taeyang came for the tutoring session on the next day, Jiyeon felt pained upon seeing him, and it was hard for her to keep on behaving normally as if nothing had happened. Taeyang surely had noticed something due to how silent she had been. That’s why, she appreciated him not asking anything about it.
As Jiyeon was going through the book in her hand, Taeyang’s phone rang, and a picture popped up on the screen. It was the image of the woman she had seen with him yesterday; she was called Jihye.
“Excuse me for a second.”
With that said, he stood up and received the call. Jiyeon observed his expressions. His eyes widened for a second— probably shocked by what h
Just as she was about to hug Yejoon, Jiyeon felt herself being dragged back by a large force, and this caused her eyes to widen. She turned her head to look at the one behind it and was shocked to see Taeyang standing there.What was he doing here?His eyes fiercely stared at her, causing her to be shaken up, and it appeared that he was only slightly away from bursting off at her. This was the first time she had faced this side of hers, making her wonder on how she had possibly offended him.“Who are you? It’s too impolite to pull someone this way,” Yejoon voiced out.Jiyeon smiled at him and expressed, “It’s fine. I know him. You can leave now.”Yejoon seemed a little hesitant. Nonetheless, he nodded before leaving. Before she could wave her hand at him, her face was gripped by Taeyang, and he forced her to meet his eyes.“Who is he?” Taeyang questioned, and his tone held immense intensity&mda
“Hold on, hold on, he actually said that to you!?” Aera exclaimed in disbelief. “Whoa! He is seriously a player.”Sitting on her bed, Jiyeon took a sip from her strawberry milk and stared down. The events of the other day still heated up her cheeks. Taeyang simply looked too dashing.“How did he know I was there though?” Jiyeon questioned. “Could it be a coincidence?”“About that,” Aera voiced out, “I might have spilled out your location to him.”Jiyeon raised an eyebrow.“Well, he called me, asking where you are as your phone was shut off, and I told him you’re on a date. Then, he questioned me about the location, and he is too scary. I wasn’t able to hide it.”Jiyeon could see where Aera was coming from. After the confrontation she had with Taeyang the other day, he really had a fierce side to him. Maybe because she w
Both Jiyeon and Taeyang was on the cleaning duty for the class. As Jiyeon was arranging the table, she noticed that Taeyang was staring at her with a mildly amused smile on his face.That aggravated her, and she expressed, “What? What are you looking at?”Without saying anything, he made his way over to her. Then, extending his hand, he touched her face and stroked it before voicing out, “You don’t have to do anything to make me jealous.”Her eyes widened at his words, and she stepped back, feeling totally exposed under that gaze of his.She then stuttered, “W-What do you mean?”Clearing her throat, she spoke with more confidence: “What sort of nonsense are you uttering now? Me making you jealous? Why would I do something so absurd?”She scoffed.He chuckled and stated, “Is that so? I know you well, Seraphine. You can’t hide from me.”“What? How can y
First and foremost, this is a work of fiction, and no correlation should be made with living people or incidents. The author doesn't support any of the ideology or the relationship— friendship or romantic— being presented in this story. This was merely written for entertainment sake, not to be followed and used as an ideal. There are many things that are wrong in this novel morally, and therefore, don't let this novel influence you. A sharp pain went through her back, and a cry escaped from her mouth the moment she opened her eyes. Tears started to form at the corner of her eyes. This sudden development managed to surprise Park Seraphine. Taken aback, she opened her eyes, and, raising her hand, wiped away the tears that accumulated at the corner of her eyes. That's when, her hands fell into her line of sight, and a gasp escaped from her mouth when she realized how small they appeared. '
No matter how hard she tried to think, she wasn't able to exactly pinpoint it. But the sense of familiarity did not allow her to have a peace of mind unless she confirmed it.Creases appeared between both of eyebrows while she pulled her lips into a thin line, trying her hardest to recall. In the eyes of others, this expression of hers looked endearing."What are you thinking so intently, Lady Seraphine?" the maid asked while her eyes were filled with adoration towards the small child."What's your name?" Seraphine asked— her voice being little incoherent."Lady Seraphine, did you forget my name again? It's Betty," the maid voiced out, "Lord Lyle and Lord Clayton was looking for you to play with them earlier. Let's go to them."All those names caused something to click within her.The name of a certain novel came inside of her mind—
Without anyone excluded, starstruck expressions and gasps spread through the room. Few in the room had difficulty believing what they heard; Clayton was the prime example of that.Due to the immense shock, he let out of her cheeks and blinked his eyes multiple times before her, unable to understand the situation.Once the shock was gone from their faces, the maids were in awe with their young lady. Seeing her stand up for herself and say those mature words for the first time managed to strike them at their heartstrings.Everyone present wanted to see this continue further."Yah! Why are you acting—""Don't put your hand on my shoulder," she voiced out, "Since you abused me until this age, I am still shaken up in your presence."The earlier words were somewhat acceptable, but this time around, they couldn't believe it further. How did a docile child lear
"Take care of myself? You are telling a four year to do that? What a joke! I will show you how a four year old takes care of herself!" Seraphine mumbled as she paced around her play room.Betty and the other maid, Anna, watched their Young Lady with concern in their eyes. Ever since since she has returned, she had been acting strangely; it seemed that the Young Lady was growing worries.Unaware of the thoughts of the Betty and Anna, Seraphine remembered about the contents of the novel.Since the novel also had written about 'Seraphine's' childhood, starting from her four year old self, she could recall reading about this situation as well.Her main concern right now was to avoid meeting that important person. Knowing how the story will unfold, meeting that person will be disastrous— something that can't be avoided later on.So, that's why, she had to work early on it.
"Ugh," a moan escaped from her lips.All parts of her body ached tremendously, and a lack of energy hit her. Feeling fatigue, she had a hard time trying to open her eyes.When she barely managed to lift her eyelids, the hazy view of the white ceiling fell into her line of sight and wondered what had happened to her.Could it be that she had finally woken up from that horrendous dream?Not caring about how weak she currently felt, she wanted to confirm that. That's why, pushing her hands on the bed, she wanted to sit up. But before she was barely able to lift her body, she collapsed."Seraphine Dear, you are finally awake!"A soft voice, filled with relief, entered into her ears. Finding the voice to be unknown, she slowly turned her head and took in the appearance of the blurry woman. After blinking couple of times, her vision started to clear up.
