Chapter 13-3: A Study Partner

“Then... that day. He… he…’ She was confused after thinking.

It was illogical for him to participate in a packed concert with a full band, if he hated noise.

‘Wasn’t that intentional?’

"Well… it was just a whim from him. And now it's over” he added.

She felt resentful.

She really wanted to apologize despite the argument, but he didn’t give her any face.

"Just, don’t bother him" Melissa sighed openly.

“He's already going to join our club anyway” Leroy, who couldn't stand her logic, added.

"Sorry. It was just a show. I didn’t mean to…” she mumbled in a soft tone, pursing her lips in frustration.

“I just prefer to watch, by the way” she declared.

“Bwahhahah” Lush burst out laughing, he didn’t expect it to end like this with Werm.

This person was completely and dangerously neutral.

After a few more minutes, the cloudy and confusing atmosphere finally disappeared.

“I’m full” Jumika straightened up, carrying her things.

“I wanted to spend more time with you guys. But unfortunately my schedule is already full today, see you” she muttered very gently, then said goodbye to the guys with a stiff smile and left.

Mark, who massaged the knot between his eyebrows, finally took a breath, and Melissa laughed at his ridiculousness, amused.

“You really… your immunity is very weak against her”

“No. She’s just too flattering” He muttered.

“I see”

Finally, the four guys and the girl parted ways after some chatter.

They all had mostly different evening schedules.

After the meal, Nam Shin walked to rest; While Caroline took her steps towards the club.

The atmosphere in the hallway became quiet.

Chapter 14: The Peak of the Absurd

'Those keys had a quiet, warm effect of affection.

The tone was familiar and expressive, reflecting longing, sadness and loneliness.

Under the shadows of the sun and the stagnant clouds.

Under the showers of rain and the cold breeze.

Inside the silent room, where there is no one.

Only, the graceful movements of the fingers and the dormant passion on that piano.

In conjunction with Ali Al-Doukhi’s music.

-Lovely-'

At that time, the first conversation she had had was between her and Cadres.

A week before, he had taken her for a walk in the garden. A month later, she had settled in England, where the farm was.

When she arrived, the sunset was dazzling, breathtaking and beautiful.

She had barely gotten used to it, until it became familiar.

Inside, there weren't many rooms.

Just a bedroom, an open kitchen, a dining hall, a guest hall, two bathrooms and a storeroom similar to an average room, with some guards.

Just like any other luxurious studio.

Then, for about half a year, their relationship became close, loving and gentle.

On her first birthday, the atmosphere was dazzling and beautiful.

Only after that kiss on the forehead, the magic of that scene disappeared and turned into ashes.

Then, the place was stormed and she was separated from him while he was severely beaten and then she returned to the starting point.

As soon as she woke up, she felt an illusion.

That pink dream was warm and beautiful, in contrast to the empty white walls opposite that room.

When the tune stopped, her delicate fingertips lost the tune while playing and she looked out the window.

It was already past three o'clock at that time. Just then, her cell phone rang and she answered.

"Hello. I sent you the coordinates, enjoy" It was Kristen.

Obviously, she was not alone, as soon as she said that, she hung up.

Immediately after that, she pressed the contacts, then listened to the rock and roll hold tone, from the first slide and waited.

"..Yes?"

As soon as the loud tone stopped, and she finally heard the sound of someone's shallow breathing on the other side of the background, she sighed.

'Someone didn't leave the couch to sleep on the bed' she snorted.

"Take Theodore to the punishment hall. Strip him of all his powers, and don't say anything"

"Just make sure he stays alive and well" she said in a commanding, stern tone and waited for him.

“got it!”

Without further ado he hung up politely, and then she picked herself up.

'That traitor' 'And she was the one who wondered... why she hadn't been hunted down yet?'

It turned out that Cadres had someone on her side.

At least this time, Guren would have good company with an old acquaintance.

×××

At the same time, Leroy who had been looking for her an hour ago immediately stiffened his limbs upon listening to her words.

Seeing that she was leaving, he disappeared into the next hall immediately, like a shadow.

The Werm he knew now was different from the one he had seen in the past two days, and even stranger than the rumors.

For some reason, he didn’t want to chase him.

//On the other side//

//Outside//

Where an amber Range Rover pulled up at the entrance.

The houses here were neat, simple and regular, consisting of two floors and a garden.

When Rebecca first came down here, she immediately pulled her things along with the birdcage and the cat house.

In contrast, Susan, who was hurriedly looking at her from the window, came forward excitedly to greet her.

“Becca...” “Good evening,” she shouted spontaneously.

She was wearing a white sweater with decorative braids up to the neck and special blue-striped house pants with house slippers.

Looking at her belly, it could be said that she was three months pregnant.

“Hahaha. Hello. How are you doing?" she said, waving at her while smiling like a virtuous lady.

In contrast, Becca wore a classic white shirt decorated with a golden dragon collar over a pink sweater.

With a long, elegantly layered black skirt, matching her winter boots and a cream coat with a French fur hat, she mused.

"I'm fine. I really missed you"

"Yes. It's been a while. I haven't seen you"

After some routine pleasantries and warm hugs, she led her inside.

"It's cold outside. Change your clothes quickly, I'll make tea"

"Okay"

At the same time, she went up the stairs towards the first floor, on the left side, where her room was.

As soon as she closed the door and saw the room tidy inside, she smiled with a bit of a blush.

'Nothing has really changed' 'Everything here remained in its right place'

After that, she changed from her elegant clothes into a pink two-piece pajamas, once she arranged her things.
