Arc 1

The night was cool, the wind carrying the salty scent of the ocean as it swept across the deck of the ship. Gu Yan stood alone at the bow of the ship, his hand resting casually on the railing as he gazed out into the inky blackness. His thoughts, however, were far from calm.

He yearned for Ye Jin. He wanted to be with her forever, only see her, only hear her voice. If he could, he wanted to merge with her so they could be one. However, it seemed that Ye Jin did not feel the same. In fact, it seemed that she was trying to avoid his feelings. She was smart—she was already aware of his feelings—she just didn't want to accept them.
