"You are Scarlett Opriyen, right?" Seraphine questioned.
Her excitement caught Opriyen off guard, and seeing her widened eyes, Seraphine understood she was being too straightforward. Clearing her throat, Seraphine released the girl's hand, knowing her act was inappropriate.
"Yes, I am." Scarlett looked at Seraphine cautiously.
From the novel, Seraphine knew Scarlett had a closed off and awkward personality, and this was why she came off as cold to many.
Probably because of the burdens she had to carry from young age, Scarlett came off as reticent and intimidating to many.
"Lady Scarlett, I apologize for coming off as rude, but I have been wanting to meet you for so long," Seraph

"How did everything go, Lady Seraphine?" Betty questioned once Seraphine had stepped into her room."Well, even though I was rude, Lady Scarlett did not seem to hate me. She was shy and appeared to be intimidated by me the whole time. Do I come off as too strong?" Seraphine expressed, sitting in front of the mirror.Betty began to undo her hair and stated, "Well, Lady Seraphine, you can be quite forceful when you are persistent. Given that Lady Scarlett doesn't know you and your status, it's understandable if she was daunted.""Should I have taken a softer approach? That won't be possible though; it would take too much time," Seraphine vocalised."Isn't it fine as long as the Lady doesn't mind it?" Betty pointed out."Is that so? I still feel bad. How about I send some gifts to Viscount Opriyen's house as present?" Seraphine suggested."Indeed, that would be

"Scarlett, there is something for you."Hearing her mother, Scarlett stepped out of her room in order to see what the matter was. As the mother stood in the hallway, there were couple of men standing in front of her, and they seemed to be carrying something.Creases appeared between both of her eyebrows as she made her way over. Then, scrutinizing these men, she spoke up, "What's the matter?""Are you Lady Scarlett Opriyen?" the man standing in front questioned.Warily staring at the men, Scarlett answered, "Yes, I am. What do you want with me?""These are gifts from Vougeious house. Do you mind if we put them down?" the man expressed.Although Scarlett was shocked and was taking a while to process the situation, she noticed that these boxes might be heavy for the men.This was why she absentmindedly responded, "Yes, just keep it do

Grace, Isabella, and Angelina were all seated beside her. Although they appeared to be smiling, Seraphine was able to notice the nervousness they emitted. It was understandable for them to feel this way."Don't hold yourself back," Seraphine expressed, "You ladies can start eating. The taste won't disappoint you."Seraphine did not feel uncomfortable at the situation. Although it was strange to put it this way, she was fond of the control she had over the situation."The other day you three seemed to be really fond of dresses made by Mia Heinsun," Seraphine expressed.Angelina appeared to be the most outgoing one amongst them and spoke out, "Yes, Lady Seraphine. Anyone would be fond of clothes from Mia Heinsun."Then, the corner of Seraphine's lips curved upwards, and she expressed, "I get it. On the occasion that you have arrived at my place for the first time, I decided to gift

Her attitude caused Kayden to let out a chuckle. In fact, a part of him did feel happy seeing her like this because this clearly showed concern towards him.Nonetheless, he did not let that show on his face as he patted her head and expressed, "Silly, seeing you happy like this makes me feel the same.""Is that so?"Kayden nodded.Seraphine did not argue against that because she somewhat related to it. When the person she cared for was joyful, she felt emotions akin to that as well.In fact, she was content to learn Kayden's emotions were related to her, and it was same for her as well."When it comes to others, I wouldn't be this considerate when speaking, and I don't know if this would hurt your self-esteem. However, if you do need any help, do seek me out.I know you are being reserved and don't want to trouble me, thinking that

Seraphine scrunched up her nose at him and sarcastically spoke out, "Very funny, Your Highness."That's when, an idea came at Seraphine's mind, and a glint appeared in her eyes as she questioned, "Are you free right now, Your highness?""Hmm," he answered, feigning to think for a while prior to speaking out, "Depends. Why? Are you planning to ask me out?"Seraphine nodded. "Exactly! Do you want to accompany me?"Alexandar was caught off guard. Previously, Seraphine was somewhat hostile and on guard around him, but seeing her welcoming state now, he did not know how to feel about it.However, it did please him to know she did not loathe his presence."For a beautiful Lady as yourself, of course, I do have time," he said.His flirtatious manner did amuse Seraphine, and she stated, "Well then, let's do something fun if you are not opposed to

The curiosity was truly bothering. Seraphine really couldn't recall how she or the original Seraphine ended up provoking this mad lady.Even in the novel, this was kept a secret. For a powerful mage to come and pretend to be her friend, and then attack her— there must be a huge reason behind it.When reading a novel, it did make sense for characters to hate the female lead for no reason, but in reality, that wasn't often the case, especially when the person involved was a powerful mage.If Winter wanted to kill her, she could easily do it. Why would she want to run around in circles and play these games? Seraphine was truthfully confused.Although Seraphine wanted answers, she wasn't going to risk her life for it. Seeing how Winter was distracted by her question, Seraphine was about to jump down from the window.However, before Seraphine was able to leave through the window

"You don't seem shaken up, do you?" Clayton raised one of his eyebrows.Even Clayton would have anxiety inside him if he knew a mage was after him yet Seraphine remained calm— that too the mage after her was a powerful one.It wasn't that Seraphine was calm. She was really afraid of Winter in the beginning, enough to have a mental breakdown, and probably because of the knowing the novel as well, she eventually adjusted.That's why, she was able to maintain her composure."That's because I have a sense of security due to the person who rescued me," Seraphine answered."Who saved you?" Clayton questioned. If the other party was able to face off a mage, he ought to be strong."Too bad, I can't disclose his identity, but don't worry, he promised to protect me although he is forced to do it. Nonetheless, he is extremely reliable and stron

Kayden understood that Seraphine had misunderstood the situation and explained, "It's not that, you know; it's simply that I want to protect you better."Seraphine cleared her throat as Kayden's words caused her cheeks to heat up as she mumbled, "You sure do know how flirt.""Hmm?" Kayden questioned."No, it's nothing," Seraphine answered, "Anyway, aren't you curious where I am abducting you to?"Seeing Seraphine's bright eyes, Kayden folded his arms over his chest and put on an act himself. Going along with Seraphine for a while, he pretended to think for a while."Where could little Seraphine be kidnapping me off to? Is it an abandoned mansion or some warehouse? Or could it be some forest?"This amused Seraphine, and she began to start laughing. This was because this side of his was a huge contrast from his usual self, and Seraphine kind of liked how she wa

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

“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

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

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

Jiyeon’s breathing for that instant stopped, and her heart clenched painfully. A nauseating feeling arose in her stomach. That’s why, holding her mouth, she stood up and rushed towards the washroom. At the same time, her eyes were flooded with tears.Seeing Jiyeon’s reaction caused a frown to form upon Taeyang’s features, and he did call after her. But she paid no mind to his words. He wanted to go after her, but that’s when his attention fell on her phone. It seemed that she saw something on the device.Picking the device up, his eyes fell on the screen, and that’s when he understood why she had shown such an intense reaction. This was due to a certain name she had seen— Kayden.He shut her phone and let out a sigh.°°°After washing her face, Jiyeon came out of the washroom and then said, “I am sorry. I suddenly felt sick.”Taeyang stood up and made his way over to Jiyeon. H

Taeyang shot her a quizzical look, not clearly expecting her to mention this right now, before that changed to amusement, and he voiced out, “Why are you so curious about that?”Jiyeon believed that she had decent acting skills when she smiled and said, “Am I not your friend? This simply is an enough reason for me to know about it. Now, quick, quick, tell me who is it that managed to steal that heart of yours.”“Because you are my friend?” The boy stated.There was a certain amount of amusement present in his tone, and this caused her to feel nervous. Certainly, he didn’t notice her intentions, right? Although she did feel very much exposed under his gaze, she tried to convince herself that the boy wasn’t capable of reading minds.Jiyeon nodded.“Can I not ask as your friend about the girl you like?”“Of course, you can ask,” Taeyang said, “And as for who the perso

“Of course not. What are you talking about? You can feel comfortable at here. You have done a lot for Jiyeon, and we are thankful to you for that,” her mother voiced out.Hearing how gently her mother was speaking made Jiyeon scoff and say, “I didn’t know that you are able to talk in this manner, Mother; I thought you were only capable of shouting.”This caused her mother to glare at Jiyeon and state, “Shut up! Make yourself useful for once, and set up the table.”Although Jiyeon rolled her eyes at her mother, she did as the woman ordered as she made her way over to the kitchen. Tilting her head from the kitchen, she could see that small conversation went on between her mother and Taeyang. This caused her to wonder what the content was.Nevertheless, Jiyeon was quick to her feet and arranged the table without causing much accidents. Once done with that, she took her seat and called for

Jiyeon had to admit that Taeyang was great at explaining her. It was as if he understood her and knew how to keep her concentration on the subject. No matter how much she wanted to distract him or ask him unnecessary questions, he didn’t let that happen.And as for the last part of the session, he gave her few problems to solve, saying, “After you are able to solve them all and get half of them correct, you can go home.”Jiyeon was dumbfounded by the expectations he held on her. Even on the subject she found the easiest, getting half correct was hard for her.“Can’t we lower the bar a little? Today is the first day after all. Let’s settle for forty percent.”He shook his head and voiced out, “If you get more than fifty percent, I will reward you.”That did sound appealing to her, and knowing that there was no place for argument, she attempted the questions I hopes of attaining that reward.

It didn’t take Taeyang long to finish making the breakfast, and even though Jiyeon had a large intake of sugar now, that didn’t take away from her appetite when she smelled the pancakes. This caused her to feel sudden hunger.Taeyang placed the glass of orange juice in front of her before serving her pancakes and covering those up with syrup. Yurie’s mouth watered as she held her fork and voiced out, “Thank you.”After that, given how delicious the pancakes were, it didn’t take her long to finish eating them, and once done with that, she stared at Taeyang with impressed eyes.“Whoa! This is seriously good,” Jiyeon voiced out, “You really have a way to lower my self-esteem.”“Don’t worry about that. Collectively, you are way better than me.”This made Jiyeon scrunch up her nose and vocalize, “We both know that is not the case. I am far from being half as good as you.
