Secondhand embarrassment
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56A week was left until the brother's graduation ceremony. In order to celebrate Lyle successfully graduating from school, Seraphine decided to go out with Sharon to buy a gift with her.
As Seraphine went around the shops, she wondered what would make a proper gift for her brother. This is when a shop caught her eyes.
This shop seemed to hold various ornaments for males. That is what she observed once she pushed the door of the shop to enter in.
There were many styles of rings, and she contemplated on buying one for her brother when she realized he wasn't fond of wearing them. That was a pity since few caught her eyes.
Sticking to the second best option— something more practical— she decided to check out the cufflinks. There were many cufflinks made of different jewels.
The colourful shades of the jewels caught her eyes, and unable to settle on one, she decided to buy multiples. Even though her brothe

When Seraphine was heading to academy with Eugene for Lyle's graduation in the carriage, her eyes fell on the sword of Noah opposite to them.The newly attached tassel stood out."That's from Sharon, right?" Seraphine asked.Noah glanced at the tassel after heading Seraphine's question and nodded his head.Looking at Noah, her mood turned solemn as she voiced out, "Why did you accept it? You know her intent, right?""Intent?" There was confusion in his tone.But Seraphine wasn't going to fall for it. If he rejected her gift, Seraphine would have believed he cared for her, but seeing this, he was truly held no emotions towards Sharon."Do you not like Sharon? I am not asking in a romantic way, just as a person," Seraphine inquired. "Don't try to lie."Noah chuckled and stated, "Indeed, Lady Sharon is good to you, but she is too weak minded and easily

The results of her words immediately placed a frown on his face, and he seemed to be visibly disturbed. Seraphine wondered which party was it that he distasted.The academy was named Moonstone Academy, and it was leading in many fields compared to other academies in this continent. What it was well known for was its research in science.This Kingdom was comparatively rich, and due to this, they had the luxury to invest in this studies.Because of this, people from various nationalities came to study at this academy.Indeed Seraphine found it exciting to know people from various countries.

Two of the assassins who just arrived was about to make a move against her, and instinctively Seraphine closed her eyes, waiting for the attack to be made.However, that never came. When Seraphine opened her eyes, she was greeted with the sight of many of the assassins murdered simultaneously by one person.That one person didn't even break a sweat. Seeing how the person responsible for it was Alexandar caught her off guard.Seeing how he easily warded them off showed his incredible skills in swordsmanship, but according to the novel, he wasn't supposed to be this good.Until he came a King, he wasn't able to protect himself. This description didn't match that of novel's. However, she took this to be a butterfly effect of her actions.Once he was done dealing, Alexandar turned to face her. Gone was his amiable expression, and there was a darkness present in those eyes of his. It

Seraphine had her personal knight Noah research and learn about all types of card games played around the Kingdom.Actually, in the beginning, she wanted to play using the methods from her own world but later, gave up that thought.There were high chances cards here were not played in the way back home, and when caught by Noah or her brothers, she would have no way to explain, how she who never touched the cards, knew these ways to play the cards.Moreover, the cards here weren't of same format as the ones back home.To be honest, she didn't plan on informing Noah on it. Anything that went to Noah's ears would be conveyed to Lyle, as Lyle was his direct superior now.Even if Seraphine had confidence to convince Lyle, he nagged a lot, and these days, she had been scolded by him a lot. Another session would cause her to lose her mind no matter how strong her mentality.This is why, pr

"You know, don't you? Come on, I am curious! Spill everything!" Seraphine whined, pulling the hand of Clayton.Wearing a pout on her face, she raised her head to stare at him, blinking her eyes repeatedly. Seraphine firmly believed she was cute— at least in the eyes of her brothers.She tried to probe the reason behind those assassins but neither did Lyle nor Noah did expose anything to her. Seeing how tight-lipped both of them were, Seraphine could only turn to Clayton.Getting the truth out of him would be easier.Seraphine didn't see the reason why they wouldn't let her in on the truth. Did they enjoy being mysterious this much?She couldn't be on the same page as them."You can't know," Clayton bluntly refused."Why can't I know?" Seraphine argued, "This isn't fair. Why do I have to always be the one to endure? You were never kept in the dark, so you don't

Hearing that voice caught everyone's attention, and they all turned to look back. When Seraphine's eyes fell on the person who arrived, she immediately loosened her teeth around Eli's cheek and spat out in other direction prior to rinsing her mouth in water.Following this, she wiped off her lips with her handkerchief.Alexandar stared at the situation, not knowing how to process it. He had been observing the surroundings for a while, but he didn't expect for everything to escalate to the point of Seraphine biting Eli.This side of Seraphine was truly baffling.If it wasn't for Crown Prince's presence that calmed everyone, Eli would have cursed out profanities at Seraphine! Her teeth were truly sharp!"Why did you come here?" Seraphine questioned.Indeed it was mortifying for her to have Alexandar of all person to witness this situation. She didn't greatly care about the opini

By now, Seraphine was completely healed, and although it hurt for her times to make certain movements, her wounds weren't at the risk of opening up.Finally being able to regain her freedom, Seraphine felt akin to a bird who was released from cage after a long time. The taste of freedom was delicious to her."You want to send Eugene and Lady Sharon to Hedia Magic Academy?" Lyle questioned after listening to Seraphine's words.She nodded her head. "Don't you believe it's a good idea? I would be too worried sending Eugene. That's why, it is better to have Sharon go along with him. At least she would be able to take care of him meticulously.""That isn't a bad idea. What about you?" he spoke out."What about me? Of course, I am going to pursue Knighthood. I didn't change my mind.

Seraphine pushed open the door and entered in. A wide smile formed on her face while she stared at Kayden, who was inside the dorm room."You didn't lock your door," Seraphine pointed out.Following this, she closed the door behind her before stepping further into the room, and it would be an understatement if Kayden mentioned he wasn't shocked by her actions.As Seraphine sat on the bed, he said, "You entered into male dormitory?"Other than Seraphine, no one would be courageous enough to step into the male dormitory— that too in the daylight."Yeah, I did," Seraphine said. Upon realizing something, she let out a gasp and added, "Would this be damaging to your reputation? Just keep your window open next time. I will come up from there."Kayden was speechless at her ability to go this far from the truth and make her own conclusion.Letting out a sigh, he summo

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.
