They are in...3

Miyun came out from his room with his usual stoic expression. His Master had summoned him and he knew he was in for a long talk. He grumbled and made it to the Master's Pavillion ignoring the gazes being sent his way. He had long gotten use to it whilst the girls would fawn over him the boys would send him death glared. Miyun made it a point to never use a mirror, even with half of his face showing, he had received countless compliments regarding his looks, until the mask is off he decided not to stare at his reflection because it reminded him of was his mother. " You are here" his Master chanted cheerfully. " I am Master, may I know why I'm being summoned " Miyun asked impatiently.

" Cut me some slack, will you? why do you have to be this cold all the time even if I'm the one who loves you the most" his Master said shamelessly . Being used to this, Miyun rolled his eyes inwardly. " Please smile at least that's the only way we can get the best on our side .Miyun didn't necessarily understand what he meant by their side but said nothing." Why do I have to smile, I don't think it's important, if it's a good show you want I'll definitely not disappoint you, but may I request something in return " Miyun asked with a rather low voice. His Master looked at him skeptically, " Let's hear it first" he replied.

" Okay then, I know we'd have to move in to stay in with who we will be assigned to.... I..I would like to stay at my quarters. Can you please help me with this" Miyun aksed.

His Master remained silent for a while. " That is not something I actually get to decide, your incoming Young Master gets to decide that but.... I can probably make an exception for you if you emerge first in the showdown and after all you're the deputy supervisor of the juniors, it may be allowed, but I can't really promise anything. " his Master divulged.

Miyun bowed and exited the room. " Miyun" someone called him. he halted in his steps deciding whether to ignore or listen to this person. He turned to the voice he had strictly avoided all these years. " Miyun it's me Chai Dara" she spoke softly. " I know, what do you want" Miyun spoke rather coldly. " I don't know why you push me away, but I I can't stand it anymore, Miyun, I like you. let's forget everything that happened all those years.....I don't know who I might be in assigned to, but I'll have to be at his or her mercy....

" What do you actually want me to do about that" Miyum asked confusedly

" Don't you like me that way? "

Miyun didn't let his expression slip, of course he liked her but to be on the safer side he had to ignore her. He had grown stronger and could take on anyone who bullied him but he didn't want to be in constant fights with people who also liked her.

" I'm not sure I do I'm sorry " Miyun told her.

" You are not sure right? we can take it slow but this is what I want to ask of you desperately, " Mark me".

Miyun was stunned he couldn't utter a word immediately and tried hard to make out the person standing next to him.

" Junior sister Chai Dara, we are young, let's not rush into things".... Miyun said still in a state of slight shock.

"Then does that mean you'll accept me eventually ?" Chai Dara asked hopefully

Miyun said nothing and turned to leave.

As soon as he got to his room he slumped down on his chair. He kept pondering over what Chai Dara had said. His thoughts were disrupted by loud bangs on his door. He didn't bother going to open the door since said fellow would surely barge in. " Miyun,I've been banging your at your door for ages." He spat.

" You're not one known for knocking before entering, why did you think on doing that this time" Miyun smiled slyly at the one he could somewhat could a friend. " That was not knocking that was banging" the fellow scoffed, his face turned a deep shade of red but Miyun could only make out his flustered state. " Is it because of the other time you barged in on me naked? is my body that bad to look at or the opposite " Miyun teased. " Ha! please I just respect one's privacy that's all..."

Mishin said. " Till now..? mmmm...okay, I only wish I could see your face right now". Miyun told him. " Hey, I've got Mina you know, and if you're ready let's go those new special scint recruits have arrived, let's get this over with I can't stand their haughty aura" Mishan complained.

Miyun grabbed his sword, " Let's go" .

Mishan realized his stoic expression was plastered on again and somehow felt glad he could see him smile sometimes. He nodded and they both left to the Main Pavillion.....
