Winning against many and exerting himself over a prolonged period of time have decreased Jeonghan's stamina. He felt tired and experienced lack of focus. Therefore, he asked Seungcheol to team up and beat everyone, so that they'll be together 'till finals. However, Seungcheol misinterpreted it as Jeonghan's way of using him as a shield and betraying him in the end. If only Jeonghan is aware that his friend actually overheard his conversation with Almond, then he would not blame Seungcheol's sensitiveness.
"What did he say? I'll betray him?" Jeonghan spoke as if muttering, while entering the North side.
Per Joshua's instruction, the plan is to give the first place to Seungcheol. In order to achieve the goal, Jeonghan must stay in the game, go to the finals with the third heir and lose in purpose.
Thinking 'bout the third heir's wish if ever they succeeded on the plan, Jeonghan kept his mouth shut while walking. Seungcheol will ask for Celine's hand as his priz
Seungcheol’s POV The 30 minutes battle for the first place starts. On my way from the East side towards the center where I'll meet my two opponents, I halted for a moment. Lifting my head, I carefully observed each of the cameras which were installed around the area. Everyone is watching the game: father, Almond, uncle Kloper and Joshua. In case Jeonghan will show his true skills against me, then we will all find it out soon. Nevertheless, I declined to lose. My eyes went to the timer. There are only 25 minutes left so I picked up my pace, bolting my feet above the grass with sharp sense. However, the battlefield lay quiet. I heard no sounds except my jolting run, my breathings and my heart that's beating inside my chest. The air is soft, damp, yet my fingers around my gun come away dry. I kept on running, passing each giant who's roots hug the earth, where fallen leaves once added its beauty before they went under my
Days ago, before the paintball event, Joshua has assigned Eugene's first mission as his right hand: "Eugene," Joshua called his name while gazing upon the night sky through the glass window. Standing near the entrance of Joshua's office, Eugene answered, "Yes, master." "Are you a skilled fighter?" "I'm confident at my skill, master." "When is the last time you went on a fight?" "Few days ago. Inside the the public restroom. I beat a psycho with only my fists." Joshua, who kept on asking without looking back, finally turned his head to Eugene's side. In the dim room, their eyes met. And soon he detached his lips, "If you fight with Minghao, can you win?" Eugene kept his mouth shut for a moment. It was because he was not confident about what he would say if he opened his mouth. Then, he asked inwardly, 'Why does my little brother's life always so hard?' wh
[It is not easy. You can say that because you don't know how it feels to love someone you couldn't have. This feeling of selfishness, that you will do anything just to get that person. You... s-someone like you won't know this.] 'The feeling of selfishness to get someone who won't like you back,'Joshua repeated in his mind. If they are in the magical fantasy setting, Joshua might think that Almond is a gorgeous witch who has the bewitching power to enable a curse. But he doesn't believe in fairytales, miracles or anything that includes results based from fictitious idealism. His faith solely relies at the achievement from a person who personally made his move to reach the visionary goal in every way. He shut his eyes and when he opened them again, the setting changed from Jeonghan's house to the scenery of the wide field. Once again, he looked at Almond who's staring at the other direction, probably at the place where she could deem th
Mingyu and Celine's destination for today is Joshua's penthouse, where they'll visit Kole and Kyla. Mingyu thought he'll be with her alone, just like the old times, but another person accompaniesthe two. The car they are using is Mingyu's, however, Minghao is in charge of the wheel. The driver felt an prickling stare behind him, on which he discovered was actually Mingyu's piercing gaze. Why is he mad? Minghao had no idea. 'We don't need a third wheeler.Tsss,'Mingyu complained inwardly. The labeledthird wheeler’s identity isn't new to the detective. Mingyu has an amazing memorization skills that he can recognize a person he met in a certain place and out of hundred other strangers at that time. For sure, a tall, charismatic and handsome Minghao isn't easy to forget. Besides, he always saw him hanging out with Celine these past few days; though Minghao didn't leave much impression to him due to his quietness. Never
Outside, the wind is in pit of rage, as if it is in his climax of revenge against every matters in the ground. It attended the tall trees, not just a gentleman's dance but like a battle whether it can pull their roots out or they'll remain unscathed when the grandiose visit comes to end. Reporters around the country are watching over different cities and province, reporting the current situation of Typhoon Hoshi's harms and hash in every part of the land. Radio announcers' voice were heard one after another house, as old people solely rely on their antique radios to hear the news about the typhoon. Middle age parents are busy fixing what needs to be fix in their house, or in some affected areas, they are waiting to hear the authorities' advice of evacuating; while youngsters, who are well-knowledgein using social medias as their main source to get new information's, have their own ways of expressing their fears, worries, prayers or even jokes online. Lov
Mingyu and Celine arrived at Joshua's penthouse. Even without the owner's presence, the maids and security that were assigned to guard the place have welcomed the two. Mingyu often comes here to visit his sister, and with that, he already made friends with the other guards. He might be called "Mad dog" in his field of work, but his rudeness only applies to those who are guilty for their sins. Mingyu is a friendly one. If not, then there's no way that he and Celine will be friends. Although there are times when he tested the lady's patience with his teasing personality. "I'll visit Kyla first," said Celine. Mingyu gave his affirmation by nodding his head. "Then I'll go to Kole right now." The two stood straight in front of two closed doors of rooms where Kole and Kyla resides for a moment. Celine stood by the right side door, while Mingyu's spot is at the left side. They looked at each other first, before they place
"You sure everything is alright, mom? I'm on way home. Sorry for coming so late. I'll be right back, okay? Don't worry too much. Alright mom, see you." Mingyu ended the call with his mom. Sitting at the back seat of the car, Mingyu put his phone back to his pocket then looked towards the window. It's already dark when the rain stopped, which might be fortunate because experiencing a strong typhoon at night will always be dreadful; when you can't see what's going around and you just need to rely on your other senses. At the right side, Celine stared nothing through the car window. There's always silence after storm, and as quiet as the surrounding, inside the car has the same vibe. No one dared to make sounds, as well as Minghao who's in charge of the wheel. It is not that they don't have energy to spare. Moving your lips doesn't require much strength. Even a dying person can utter words before he died. &nbs
Mingyu's white t-shirt is a little bigger to Minghao who has skinny and flexible built. It was Mingyu's long time wish to see his future girlfriend wearing his shirt but now, he would not look forward about that anymore. After Celine and Minghao changed their clothes, they went to the dining room. The foods on the table are feast in the eye, that Mingyu, who's a food lover, couldn't help but to gasp as he filled an empty seat. "Woah, this is so many!" It's been a long time since Bernadette had to cook for more than two people. So she's very excited to cook for Celine and the new guest. "Take a seat and enjoy the food." All took a seat. Not skeptical, Celine sat beside Mingyu because she used of sitting in that place. Well, it's hard to fight the old habit and it is also too late to change decision. Mingyu's mom will find it weird if she would suddenly demanded to rearrange the sitting positio
