Due to Kayden, it took them a matter of few seconds to return back to Kayden’s mansion. This certainly astounded her. Once she had read that the larger the distance, the more amount of magic was needed, and there was high chances of mishap occurring.
Seeing how she was perfectly in Kayden’s bedroom, Seraphine was beyond amazed, and with her eyes holding admiration for him, she voiced out, “Isn’t it cheating for you to be this strong?”
Kayden shrugged his shoulders.
“Tch! You need to be more arrogant, brag about your abilities and show off. Well, I would do that if I was in your position.” A bright grin was there on Seraphine’s face.
“Childish,” he commented.
“Right, right, this wouldn’t suit the too much mature you. Be honest, you feel as if you’re above everyone, but put out this act because you’re afraid of ruining your image, right?”
Her words didn&r
Seraphine didn’t deal with the attackers by handing them over to the authorities immediately. After making sure they wouldn’t die from blood loss, she dragged them to a dilapidated building nearby and tied all of them up. Then, she waited for each of them to wake up. Removing their clothing, she only left them in undergarments, burning their uniform after that.After that, she poured water on to their face while chewing on candies, and the three of them instantly woke up. They glared at Seraphine for a second but realizing their state, instantly, the three of them were filled with fears.Seraphine smiled at them and greeted, “Hello!”Actually, this was her first time doing something like this. Nonetheless, she was excitement. The time was late, and Kayden would most likely come to get her at any moment. Due to that, she would have to deal with it fast.Of course, she hoped Kayden would be kind and understanding enough to leave out
“Kill us off then. Either way, we will be dying,” one of them stated, and those behind him nodded their head, in agreement with his words.Seraphine didn’t mind their reluctance and smiled widely— one that immediately made the three of them shudder.“You know, there are two paths in front of you— dying an easy death or an excruciatingly painful one. So, which one do you prefer?”Seeing how the men remained silent despite her words, she knew that actions were needed prove how true her words were and yield results. Raising her sword, she pierced through one of their thighs, earning a scream from that person.Tears formed on his eyes while his facial expression contorted as Seraphine dragged down the sword, its edge still dug deep in his thigh. Screams and pleads for mercy left his mouth simultaneously, although it was barely comprehensible.This sight caused a sickening feeling to settle on the other two&rsqu
Taking a shower, she wiped off all the evidences of those men from her body, and compared to before, she did felt significantly calmer. Nonetheless, she was sure this was bound to give her nightmare today.Seeing how Kayden wasn’t in the room, she guessed the man was in his office and made her way over to there. Knocking on the door few times to alert the man, she entered before meeting with a response from him.While his eyes fell on her, she grinned and made her way over to him. Then, she inquired, “I am curious. What are you working on these days so intently?”He raised his head to look at her and said, “Nothing that concerns you.”Knowing the man well, she didn’t feel hurt due to his words and stared at the ceiling, seeming to think about something. This caused Kayden to raise an eyebrow at her.“What are you up to?” Kayden questioned.“I am wondering,” she started, “wheth
“Oh,” he uttered, most likely not taking her seriously.This caused Seraphine to puff up her cheeks. Of course, she wouldn’t go as far to invade this even though they were close and dating, but having him not feel threatened was another matter. This caused her to feel frustrated.“Are you not saying?” she probed.Seraphine folded her arms over her chest, showing her every intention that she would do something crazy if he chose to stay quiet. It’s not like she wanted to intrude, but the fact that he was treating this matter with such secrecy was irritating her.Kayden sighed, probably knowing how he wouldn’t be able to keep this matter from Seraphine any longer. He knew Seraphine already had her suspicions, and he had been putting the matter off for a long time.“It’s regarding you,” he answered.“Me? What is it?” Seraphine raised an eyebrow.Even though she asked
The next day Seraphine decided to head to the area she was attacked. According to Kayden, all of them exploded to leave behind pretty gruesome remains. Everything formed tiny particles, and there was nothing he could find from them due to this.Yesterday, she was too traumatized to properly see the sight. But, after garnering up her courage today, she decided to give the crime scene another look. It wasn’t that she was expecting to find anything; it was simply that the curiosity has gotten the best of her, and she wanted to see for herself how everything looked.Indeed, the sight was repulsive. Even so, Seraphine loved to challenge herself in these matters in order to see how much she could take in. She surely wasn’t a masochist, but testing her limits provided her with one of a kind of thrill.The odor today was worse than yesterday. Standing out of the building was enough to cause her to scrunch up her nose, and once she opened the door, she had to
Seraphine stared in anticipation as Florence arrived with the result. Joseph and Clark shared the same opinion as her as well. The three of them worked hard for it and was hopeful about it.“Oh my god! You three totally made a breakthrough!” Florence’s excited voice travelled through the hallway, giving them the answer.She ran towards them, and a bright smile formed on Yoori’s face, feeling rejuvenated. Her heart started to beat rapidly in her chest while she held in her urge to let out a squeal. Because of how desperate she was for this, her eyes too were starting to tear up.“These green vegetables can be contaminated with Xylait and grow well. The toxins from the Xylait doesn’t affect it, not even the taste or appearance, and Xylait doesn’t get destroyed by the green vegetables as well. The Xylait mixed in the soil probably gets taken in by green vegetables.Impressive, indeed! I seriously wouldn’t have
“That’s true,” the man admitted. This caused Seraphine to wear a frown on her face. Then, he questioned, “What would do if all of your accusations turned out to be true?”Glaring at the man, she stated, “I won’t cry or abandon you. Instead I will be torturing you to the point you regret everything. Don’t you know how annoying I can get if I am determined. I will also bite you since I can’t beat you up.”“Cute,” he expressed, “Is it because you’re young?”“Just because I am young doesn’t Kean that you should be underestimating me. I can be frightening when I get vengeful. You shouldn’t be taking me this lightly. I am quite petty and note down every time I am treated unfairly with every intention of getup back to those people in the future.”Kayden shook his head and explained, “I did that all because I thought
The place outside of the Frost forest had many weeds growing, and bone of various species laid around the place. Everyone assumed them to belong to creatures that entered the Frost forest. The magical beasts threw the remains outside after done playing around with the people.Thinking about it caused Seraphine to chills. Seraphine and Joseph only had to look around for a while to see what type of weeds had grown, and after that, they could leave.Bile rose in her throat while a negative emotions took root in her. Her intuition was most of the times correct, and she knew something bad was going to happen. This made her want to almost want to run away from this situation.This was when Seraphine’s eyes fell on something, and her eyes widened at the blue-green plant. She kneeled down to touch it. Even though this was just a bud, this was Settyx. This place was dangerously close to the Frost forest.But seeing how the Settyx
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. At th
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.
