Fate?

After practicing few other spells, Ariel was pretty worn out and Jin led her back into the house and then to the dinning room. "You have practiced enough, you need something to eat" Jin said as he gestured Ariel to sit on the dinning chair. He then walked into the kitchen. In a few minutes, he came out holding a tray of steamed buns and ramen noodles. "Please eat" Jin said to her before walking away. "So he cooks too...nice. Gosh, I didn't even get to thank him. He's been so nice to me"Ariel said inwardly before eating.

When she was done, she went straight to the room. As she lay on the bed, she realized something. When she slept here earlier, she didn't hear Yuan's voice. She slept peacefully for the first time in a long time. "That damned witch is really scared of Jisoong" she said as she smiled and closed her eyes preparing to sleep.

Jisoong was in his library with a very stern expression plastered on his face. He stared at the two men before him "As you know, Lu Yuan is a very smart and powerful witch. Don't mess this up for me!!. Keep an eye on him at all times and report to me anything suspicious. Understand?" He asked and the two men nodded.

"Good" Jisoong said. As soon as he was about to dismiss the men, a figure suddenly appeared inside the library. Her sudden appearance quite startled the men but Jisoong was as still as steel. The woman was what you can describe in a word "beauty". She had a sexy and alluring aura would make any man drool. But Jisoong wasn't just any man so he was an exception.

"Aurora, if you keep on showing up like that some people's heart might actually drop out of their mouths" Jisoong said referring to the two men which were once startled but now lovestruck. Aurora said "At least these vampires know what they want" she said to Jisoong before winking at one of the men. Jisoong sighed and asked "What now Aurora?". The lady looked quite disappointed for a second before pouting her red lips and said "You can't even offer your guest a seat Jisoong. How cruel of you!" She said with little playful sobs.

Jisoong used his hand to rub his forehead before saying "Stop acting like a baby Aurora! I have other things to do" Aurora rolled her beautiful eyes before saying "Alright..the reason why I'm here is to tell you that. I saw a vision and the bottom line is that you should protect that cutie you are keeping. I know you are already doing little by letting her stay in your home but Jisoong, you have to do more than that. If it be possible, be with her 24/7 because Yuan has already found a way to her mind. He can control her or pester her if he wants. But I'm pretty sure that if you are always with her, there's a low chance of that happening" .

Aurora is both a dark fae and witch. She had the power to see things before they happen, read people's mind and control people with just a word. She is a power house when it comes to fighting but a clown in reality. She has always been on Jisoong's side being that they were childhood friends. But as they grew, things changed. But they always come to each other's aid when in need of help.

Jisoong was quiet for a while before saying "Thank you". Aurora smiled and her pitch black eyes were full with content. She turned around and wriggled her finger to the two men before disappearing.

Jisoong immediately dismissed the men and came out of the library. He went to where Ariel's room was and knocked on the door but got no answer. He opened the door slowly and found Ariel sleeping peacefully. If this workaholic had a hobby, it would be watching this woman sleep. He was quite taken back since she was asleep earlier. But it was already nighttime so he would just let her be.

Xavier was passing by the room and caught his brother staring at a woman. "Who knows? It might be fate that brought you guys together!" He said to Jisoong. Jisoong then slowly and reluctantly took his eyes off Ariel and looked at his brother. "Fate?" He said and Xavier nodded. Jisoong looked deep in thought for a second but then returned to his usual cold expression.

"You might not want to believe it but look at how things are going. You both are caught up in each other's business. In one way or the other and now you have to be with her 24/7. It's what some call fate" Xavier said smiling

"Did you eavesdrop on me?" Jisoong said with a piercing gaze.

"Just trying to be more human. You know we need to blend in" Xavier said with a smile.

Jisoong smiled as he shook his head at his brother's comment.

"But I'm serious. If you feel something for her in that your cold heart, tell her and also express it" Xavier said

"Says the guy who's still single" Jisoong said as he ruffled Xavier hair and walked away.

"Though you might not accept it now, I have a point" Xavier said before walking away too.
