It took a couple more days before Kayden called everything a success, and Seraphine was filled with curiosity to see how it would be working out. Finally, she was allowed to step into the room Aeryes was locked at.

Opening the door, she entered, and behind her was Kayden along with the rest. The others too were as clueless as her. The beast was tied to the chair, and it appeared that he was motionless.

Although his eyes were open, they were no focused, and it appeared that he had all of his energy drawn out of him. This did make Seraphine wonder what have been done to him.

Seraphine had an idea on how Kayden wouldn’t let this happen easily for the beast, and he will try to make it as painful as possible for Aeryes. Indeed, it was a pity that she wasn’t able to see or hear anything.

That’s when, Seraphine stepped forward and leaned in front of the beast. Bringing her hand forward, she snapped her finger, trying to get Aeryes to notice her

    Kayden sighed. “I am sorry.”His words managed to give birth to frustrations within Seraphine. Standing up, she glared at the man before her and voiced out harshly, “Could it be that it is you who doesn’t want to stay with me?I honestly can’t think of anything that might go wrong. Aren’t you being top paranoid? Or could it just be that you are tired of me? Do you want to get rid of me? Are you willing to finish this as fast as possible, so that you will be able to lead a normal life?”Seraphine knew that she shouldn’t have said those words. Those words were too harsh to one’s ears. But she wasn’t able to stop her mouth. Because of how angry she felt due to his decisions, these words involuntarily left her mouth.A touch of helplessness was present in his eyes while he expressed, “You do know that is not the case.”“Then, what is it? What the hell are you hiding from me,

    The whirlpool of thoughts in her mind was disrupted when she heard that voice.“Are you not cold sleeping at here?”This only caused her to be further angry. Is this why he came down— to see how pathetic she looked at this moment and to thus mock at her? Of course, she was creating a mountain out of a molehill, but she wasn’t able to control her direction of thoughts during these situations.Turning her head to face him, she glared at him and uttered, “No! I am completely fine. Can’t you see how comfortable it is at here? I wish I could forever sleep at here. Too bad, someone wants me to be sent away as soon as possible. I am a burden to that person, aren’t I?”Kayden sighed.“You do realize that I don’t mean that.”This made Seraphine sit up on the couch and fold her hands over her chest as she voiced out, “Does that mean I am creating an issue out of nothing? You do re

    Seraphine was seated under the tree while she played with the flowers in her hand. She did attempt to weave a flower crown, but her lack of skills made it impossible for her to do so. That’s why, she resorted to randomly tearing the petals off of the flower, and this is how she ended up being covered with the petals.“What are you doing here?”Hearing Kayden’s voice, she chose to remain silent and began to stay at her own little world. She didn’t even acknowledge his presence.Seeing her tantrum, he sat down opposite to her and extended his hand, grabbing on to her face. Then, lifting it, he stared at her and questioned, “Were you waiting for me?”His conjecture met with an immediate response from her as she shook her head. Actually, this was her lying. Knowing that the man would be searching for her if she didn’t return in time, she chose to be at here. With the power in his hand, it would be a matter of se

    Seraphine’s eyes were on the portal that had opened up in front of her before she looked at everyone staring at her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she made her way over to them in order to bid them goodbye. This would be the very last time she would be seeing them, and that’s why, she wanted to imprint this on to her memory.Because of help from Elliot, she was able to stand straight for a while.She first made her way over to Lyle and pulled him into a hug. There was no words to be said. She didn’t know what to say. Although there were many things that were going on inside of her mind, she wasn’t able to exactly put them out as words.“Take good care of yourself, and don’t get into trouble,” he voiced out.She nodded her head upon hearing those words of his before saying, “You too. Do not neglect your health, and learn to enjoy life a little. Don’t be so stern on yourself.”He patted on

    On the other days, Jiyeon wouldn’t have minded her friends recounting all of those incidents and might have joined along with them on the fun as well. But today, feeling Taeyang’s gaze on her caused her to be self-conscious. For some unknown reasons, she didn’t want him to know of this side of hers.This was actually funny to her since she had never cared about what a person would think of her. She remained true to herself regardless of the situation yet all of a sudden, she began to ponder whether or not Taeyang would be turned off by her.This left a ticklish feeling inside of her chest.“You need to stop ganging up on me,” she voiced out, “If I start spilling your dirty secrets, there is no end to it.”Then, focusing her attention on Taeyang, she asked, “Do you have Enstagram account?”“Enstagram? No,” he responded.Jiyeon’s eyes widened.“Seriously? Do t

    Jiyeon believed that she couldn’t be blamed, not when Taeyang had the ability to make her feel akin to a nervous mess. She really felt contradictory right now. As much as she enjoyed Taeyang’s eyes on her, she wanted him to focus somewhere else for it was extremely distracting.“Whoa! How can you not have an Enstagram account with that face of yours? Do you need me to help you make one?” Aera offered.Jiyeon rolled her eyes.“He can literally read the instructions to make it by himself. It’s simple. Why would he need you?” Jiyeon shot back at Aera.“What do you know, You Child?” Aera mocked.“Yes, yes, it is you who knows everything,” Jiyeon mimicked her voice. Shaking her head, Jiyeon went back to eating her food.This is when Aera brought up, “In order to celebrate this friendship with Taeyang, let’s go to Sunrise.”Sunrise was a restaurant all of th

    Her mother shook her head and looked at Taeyang, saying, “Yoo Taeyang, the one Jiyeon had been chattering about the entire week.”Taeyang stood up and bowed.“Hello, Auntie,” he greeted.Her mother sat on the couch beside Jiyeon and assessed the polite boy. Taeyang had a faint smile on his features as he sat down on the chair.Her mother then questioned, “What does your parents do?”Jiyeon gave her mother a stink eye at the question. Who asked one about their parents these days? This sounded way too much embarrassing due to how intruding it was.Her mother ignored the frown that settled on her face.Taeyang didn’t mind the question while he responded, “My parents— they run a small business abroad.”“Are they abroad now?” her mother asked.The boy nodded.“Are you living here all by yourself?”“Yes, for the time being.&

    That didn’t stop her friends from persisting to know the truth, and Jiyeon had a feeling that more than wanting to know who her crush was, her friends were adamant on proving she isn’t capable of keeping a secret.This is what annoyed her. Despite how her friends treated her, they still were reliable to an extent, and because of their experience, she did want advises from them.But knowing how smug they would be acting after Jiyeon was totally honest with them made her decide against it. Jiyeon held her pride dearly, and because of her competitive spirit, she was now stuck in this mess. The only good thing was that she started to get closer to Taeyang.Of course, this couldn’t be anything positive because even though she had to admit Taeyang was close to her compared with her other friends, it surely wasn’t because of romantic feelings— at least this is how she saw it. He merely enjoyed her company and teasing her.It also ha

    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.
