But growing up, she never mistreated herself and didn't wish to do that now either.
It seemed that Arnold was in a rather pleasant mood for he didn't take offense and even smiled. The smile didn't appear to be malicious.
"What do you suggest then?" he raised one of his eyebrows.
Seraphine pursed her lips into a thin line, pretending to think for a while prior to responding, "Well, it would be troublesome to ask me to change teams, and of course, it can't be assured such a situation would occur again.
Punishing them wouldn't work either. It would only cause them to mess with me further. Thinking like this, why don't you just let me work solo? I think I am competent enough for it."
"You want to work alone?" he questioned.

Not judging the place further, Seraphine inserted the key and unlocked the door. Pushing open, she stepped inside and observed the interior.Although the furniture was old, at least everything seemed neat and clean. Her sister probably took good care of it.Closing the door behind her, she called, "Ashley!?"She did find it awkward to call the name familiarly in the beginning, but after a couple more tries, she was able to get used to it. After all, Seraphine's ability to adapt was amazing.At the sound, the door to a room opened, and a head peaked out. Seraphine's eyes fell on the frail beauty. Ashley had ash-brown hair that flowed to her waist and a pair of similar coloured eyes.Maybe because of her sickly nature, she had pale skin. Instead of it being unattractive, it made her appear to be a delicate beauty. One glance at her was enough to raise one's protective

After concluding there was nothing of use that was present in the attic, she went down and began to go outside of the house where Ashley was at.It seemed she had already prepared the meat and the fire. Seraphine lent a hand with roasting the meat, and after a while, the mouthwatering smell from the meat started to float in the air."This ought to be delicious!" Seraphine expressed prior to taking a bite out of the meat. As expected, she did a great job at roasting it despite her barely having any experience.Tasting how delicious all of them were, Seraphine concluded she naturally had talent in this field. Due to Ashley's weak constitution, she wasn't able to have much meat, especially when they were spicy.However, with Seraphine wolfing everything down, there had to be no worries of the food going to waste.Once she was done eating, Seraphine sighed. Her manners that she

Before Seraphine could enter her room, she felt a grip on her shirt. This made her turn back to face Ashley. Her actions caused Seraphine to raise one of her eyebrows."Were you searching for this in the attic?" she questioned.Seraphine's eyes then fell on the letter at Ashley's hand. She forwarded it towards Seraphine. This made Seraphine wonder what this was on.Noticing Seraphine's questioning gaze, Ashley explained, "The other day when I was cleaning up my father and mother's room, I found this. This must be important, so I kept it with me."The envelope didn't seem out of ordinary, but the fact that there was an envelope there in her parent's room was suspicious enough."Did you check the contents inside?" Seraphine questioned.Ashley shook her head. "It looked important, so I didn't open it."Seraphine nodded and expr

Once done with settling everything, Seraphine bid good-byes to her sister before heading for the barracks. The entire way, the corner of her lips were lifted, displaying her enthusiastic mood well.As she arrived, she didn't know how to judge her luck as she came upon Arnold Crisberd. Regardless of her emotions, she could only politely greet him."Not bad, Young Lad," he commented, "It seems that the vacation invigorated your spirits.""Indeed, it has. I am grateful to Sir Arnold for it," Seraphine flattered the man."Seeing this, I have decided your next task would be in your hometown, and as working alone could be tough on you, I have decided to assign you with a partner."This caused Seraphine to be intrigued. Although she had completely a difficult task previously, no matter of teaming up was mentioned. She wondered how hard it was for Arnold Crisberd to suggest this.

Seraphine would be a fool if she were to buy that. If the mission truly caught his appeal, he could've have easily gotten it and done it with his teammates. Why would be want to sour things with others by getting along with Seraphine?Maybe Seraphine was being too skeptical, but she didn't believe this man would be here without any motive.Hamilton noticed the creases that formed between Blair's forehead and burst out into hearty laughter prior to voicing out, "You needn't worry. I have no malicious intent. It seems that you have no confidence in your skills. It's truly that I want to go along with you and learn a thing or two."Seraphine still didn't trust the man while she questioned, "Is that so?""Hmm," Hamilton answered, "It's only right for you to be suspicious. I would do anything within my limit to dispel that."Yoori thought for a while and then voiced out, "Let me be th

Seraphine vaguely recalled the conversation she heard previously on some general or such a figure holding a parade after winning a war. The parade would be passing through the town.During this time, wars were quite common, especially at the border, so Seraphine didn't pay special attention to this. Because of how busy she had been, this matter simply slipped out of her mind.But now that she had decided to take a break from her job along with Hamilton, she decided to check out this procession as she was curious about it.There were many enthusiastic people that gathered around. Not often did such high figure passed through the town, so it was understandable that a considerable amount of attention was attracted.Seraphine booked a private room at the restaurant with a balcony in order to get a proper view. While she nibbled on the seeds, she stared at the excited people downstairs.

Behind the door, a man stood. His clothing and conduct showed off his high position. Although a seemingly calm expression was there on his face, standing beside him made one feel a great deal of pressure.Behind him stood a Knight who had his head slightly lowered, and the conversation that happened inside the room reached into both of their ears.This caused the Knight to feel flustered and stare at the eminent man in front of them who intently listened in on the conversation."I am sorry, Sir. I haven't expected for them to be this audacious. I will punish—"Before he was able to continue further, the man raised his hand, and he immediately shut his mouth. As the man indicated him, the Knight moved forward to open the door.As the door opened, Seraphine and Hamilton was caught off guard. They thought someone would be there to announce the arrival of the high-ranking

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.
