Chapter 1- Prologue

Kyle Yoon is a Korean veteran assassin that works for a top secret organization in America that deals with certain dangerous or corrupt individuals. He is now finally being released from the hellish shackles of being a merciless killer and is now aiming for a peaceful life.

In a big dark room, the higher officials of the organization are discussing Kyle Yoon's retirement. In accordance to his service all these years, he had been granted a mansion in Seoul, South Korea his home country for him to live into.

He will no longer have any affiliations to any of the organization's matters as he is not a part of it anymore.

The officials finally sent their regards to the now freed former assassin.

"It's been a pleasure working with you, 'Specter'."

"Likewise, but that name's no longer existed as I'm now just 'Kyle Yoon' an ordinary Korean citizen."

Kyle took off the mask that had been concealing his face all this time as he walked out of the room.

"An ordinary person huh? I wonder if that kind of lifestyle can really apply to a monster like you."

***

Kyle flew back to South Korea. The place felt very nostalgic as he left the country many years ago. With the new him, he is finally ready for a new life that may come his way.

"So this is ordinary life huh? I'm really foreign to this kind of thing." muttered Kyle to himself as he took a seep of his morning coffee in the balcony.

"So there's somebody living in here."

Kyle heard a girl's voice outside the main gate. He then went down to check on the stranger. He saw a peculiar girl with fawn colored hair waving at him through his gate. He took the initiative to talk to her.

"What seems to be your business here miss?"

"Hi! So you're the one whose been living here? I really thought it's an abandoned mansion."

"Yes I live here, if there's nothing more I'm going back."

Kyle was about to leave the girl but he was abruptly stopped on his tracks.

"Wait! What's your name by the way?"

"When asking someone else's name shouldn't you introduce yours first?"

"Ah I'm sorry, the name's Camille Cho."

The girl introduced herself with a toothy grin which quite made our protagonist uncomfortable as he's reminded of a certain someone in the past.

"Kyle Yoon, now if you'll excuse me I still have things to tend to."

He then continued his stride without even looking back. All he's just given the girl is a half hearted response throughout their whole conversation.

'That's the very first time someone talked to me that way! A tough nut to crack eh? I'm gonna pester you nonstop till you learn treat women properly!'

Camille really bugged Kyle all the time she can. She would either make a racket in front of his residence or shout his name repeatedly to make him come out.

This annoyed our unlucky protagonist and tried to get rid of her many times but failed because he can't match the energetic girl's level of enthusiasm.

One day, he reluctantly let Camille come inside the mansion to not bother the neighboring houses due to her loud disturbance.

"You finally let me in huh? The mansion really feels different from the inside, it's so grand."

Camille feasted her eyed on the interior look of the mansion. Though it's true that her family is quite rich but their house cannot even be compared to what Kyle have.

Kyle just ignored her childish behavior as he continued to wash his unfinished dishes.

"Tell me, why did you let me in? You like me don't you? You're so cute."

Camille tried teasing the stone faced Kyle to see what his reaction's going to be. Suddenly a loud cracking noise resonated within the kitchen.

"Did you say something?"

Kyle looked at her with an annoyed smile and a tick mark on his forehead while holding a cracked plate in his hands.

"I'm sorry!"

Camille jolted from her seat as she straightened her back as she sat.

As Camille was busy admiring the place, she noticed a white-haired little girl come down the stairs. The girl kept rubbing her eyes as she yawned like some sort of small animal.

"Aria, good morning. Did you get enough sleep?"

"Who is this Kyle, is she a foreigner? She's so cute!"

"Who is she big brother?"

Aria went towards Kyle and tucked down his shirt.

"She speaks English?"

"Aria, she's just a troublesome woman, pay her no mind. Make sure you won't end up like her."

"Okay big brother."

"Hey, I can understand what you said you know? That was rude of you to say that."

"Tsk, didn't expect you to know how to speak English."

"Wait, did you just click your tounge?! You did."

"Then, am I wrong with what I said?"

Camille just shut her mouth as she couldn't think of anything to retaliate.

"Aria, wash your face as breakfast is ready."

Aria went to the bathroom to wash her face. After that, she went back to the dining table then she saw her favorite breakfast.

"Pancake! Big brother's the best!"

The little girl drooled when she saw the food getting laid out at the table.

"Come on Aria, it's time to eat."

She then scooched over in between Kyle's lap to eat.

"Aria, you have your own chair right there."

Kyle pointed out at the available chair in his right indicating for Aria to sit there.

"No, I want to eat near big brother."

Aria insisted on sitting on Kyle's lap then gave him her cutest smile yet. Our protagonist just couldn't reason with her cuteness.

*Sigh* "Alright, dig in while it's still hot."

"Do I get to eat too?"

"No."

"That was a fast reply."

*growl*

"What was that?"

Kyle pinpointed the source of the sound and his eyes locked on the hungry girl's stomach.

"No..nothing!"

Camille denied the rumbling of her stomach as she held it in hope for it to stop as it's so embarrassing.

"You made a ruckus in here so early in the morning when you didn't even get to fill your stomach first. Just how dumb can you be?"

"S..shut up! I just forgot okay?"

Kyle pointed out a vacant seat for Camille to seat to in pity for her stupidity.

"Yey! I know you can't resist me."

Camille began chowing down food like a person who hasn't eaten for weeks.

After the three ate their breakfast, Kyle washed the dishes as Camille watched TV in the living room with Aria.

After Kyle finished washing the dishes, he joins the two girls. It seems that Aria fell asleep on the couch while watching her favorite morning cartoon show.

He then carried the asleep girl to her own bedroom to continue her sleep. He went back to the living room soon after he gave a light peck on Aria's forehead.

"Is she really your sister? You don't look related to her."

"No, she's just an orphan I picked up in the past, I decided to take care of her for the meantime and she treated me as a brother ever since."

"I don't see your parents anywhere, are they out right now?"

"I don't have any parents and I live alone here with Aria."

"Then do you also own this place?"

"Sort of, it was given to me as a small gift."

"S-small? *cough* I see. By the way, are you a studying here?"

"I'm not as of yet but I'll be enrolling in a High school near here as a second year."

"Are you going to Balam High?" queried Camille.

"Yes."

"That means you'll be my senior, I'll be in your care Oppa."

"Just don't talk to me in school, you're bad news."

"What do you mean bad new?! I'll have you know, I'm somewhat of the school's idol."

Camille boasted of her self-proclaimed popularity in school as her nose grew longer by the second while both her hands on her waist.

Kyle only looked at her like he's looking at someone who has a mentality problem.

"You! Hmph, you'll just have to see yourself then if I'm lying or not."

"If you're enrolling, does that mean you have to take a test?" asked Camille.

"Well yes."

"Are you smart then?" teased Camille while smirking.

"Probably much smarter than you."

"Then accept my challenge..."

Camille then have him answer various questions that was included in their High school curriculum. Kyle just face palmed himself as he played along with the fawn haired girl's demands.

The girl worked her brain hard to give Kyle hard questions that she can remember but to her disappointment, he answered all of them flawlessly.

Kyle had already reviewed all the necessary knowledge he needs to attend the school.

After many questions, Camille finally ran out of ideas and had to resort on multiplication problem.

"Then, 5,629 multiplied by 456? You have five seconds to ans-"

Camille deliberately made the numbers high for Kyle to have a harder time answering, or so she thought.

"2,466,824."

Camille didn't even get to finish what he said as Kyle already spoke with the answer.

"C..correct."

"Wrong, the right answer's 2, 566, 824."

"What?! How dare you play with me?" cried Camille.

"Then don't ask others questions you can't even answer yourself."

The both of them then talked about minor stuffs here and there for a little while after that.

"I'll see you in school then Oppa." said Camille as she ran towards the door and left.

*sigh* "That girl is definitely going to be trouble for me."

That is how Kyle Yoon and Camille Cho first met and it certainly won't be the last.
