"What happened?"
Melissa inquired while looking at her friend, Rika, whose eyes, which were still wet, were swollen from all the crying. The short-haired girl docilely sat next to Bin and remained silent, she was glancing at the young man, signaling him with her eyes.
'Alright alright I won't tell.'
He rolled his eyes and let out a sigh, wondering why she's still trying to hide
"…"In response to his words, there was naught but an eerie silence. He slowly closed the door and remained motionless, glancing at the empty room. He didn't need confirmation, the way his body was reacting right now ascertained his former suspicions.'There is definitely someone in the room.'He closed his eyes and tried focusing. His body is sensitive to Mana and react
On the Western coast of M-Nation, formally known as the Republic of Korea, a small smuggler's boat just reached a recently built hidden docks belonging to an infamous smuggling organization. Among the passengers, there was a girl that carried only a small red bag on her back. Compared to the ugly mugs who boarded the boat with her, she was charming and attractive, though her emotionless face and her piercing glare made everyone who had thoughts about to her flinch and cower in fear.She disembarked and looked around for a long time, after ascertaining that no one was tailing her, she vanished from the area. Her feet were enveloped by a scarlet liquid, which boosted her speed, making
A man with lots of tattoos in all parts of his body, a flashy green and red hair and piercing in his nose and mouth, was hysterically laughing for a while before he turned around and looked at a small figure laying on top of a personally made bed.The bed was all bloodied and was equipped with metal locks that immobilize all four limbs, making it practically impossible to escape. There, on this hard and cold 'bed', there was a very young boy, no more than five years old, with an inky black hair and an unusually pale skin. The kid was shaking from fear, his eyes looking all around, trying to avoid the man's intense stare.
For a while, perhaps even a long one, there was nothing but silence. The recorder was on ever since the session began and, in this room, where there was only a small light bulb, a desk, and two chairs, the doctor and the patient each had different thoughts. The youngster looked absent-minded and internally struggling while the middle-aged doctor was reading his patient’s face, trying to find out an unsaid thing.“Do you not want to talk about it?”Out of habit, Doctor Galen held his pen and started scribbling ran
Today was Tuesday, the second day of school and Bin sincerely hoped he won’t through the same things as yesterday. So many things happened yesterday, whether it’s Rika’s matter, the invisible woman, or the nightmares of the past, they all made him feel apprehensive and a bit nervous. Things became much more complicated ever since he started working as a servant for Jasmine, nevertheless, it’s the price he’ll willing to pay to earn money.As usual, he woke up early with Mina and, fortunately, he wasn’t feeling dizzy, he wasn’t hurting either. After getting properly dressed and helping Mina wear a beautiful colorful dress which made look even m
“Madam and Sir, Good morning.”Bin respectfully bowed toward Jasmine’s parents before standing next to the table. Angelica nodded her head before continuing to carefully cut a delicious cake for Mina, who already got used to her pampering. Jasmine was no longer sleepy but her disheveled appearance remained unchanged. As for Theodore, he put down the newspaper and looked back at the black-haired youngster.“Sit down and eat.”
Dr. Galen put down his glasses and drank some water to satiate his dry throat before looking at the silent dark-haired youth sitting opposite of him. There was a clicking sound as the recorder was turned off, signaling the beginning of another conversation that should never be disclosed to outsiders, not even the doctor’s closest confidants.“I really don’t understand, Bin. Mina is three years old this year but you said you’ve escaped the facility when you were five or six. How does it make sense that she was there too?”“It doesn’t.. Because she wasn’t, at that time.”“But it is a fact that, at some point, she was held in there too, right?”Bin nodded his head and clenched his fists.“So you were captured again and met her or what?”“No, Shin went and got her out.”Galen massaged his aching temple while pondering about this troublesome issue. After an inordinate amount of time, he said:“You escaped when you were young but you didn’t tell me how you met her. Was it at the orphanage?”
“Rika!”With a fast-paced walking, almost no different than running, Jasmine went next to Rika, who was holding a cup of coffee and dazedly looking to the front. Only when Jasmine sat next to her and gently caressed her back did the girl snap back to reality and turned her neck to the side, looking at the black-haired beauty next to her. She also timidly glanced timidly at Bin, who just entered the room and stood at the side.Not only was she embarrassed, but yesterday’s humiliation also weighed on her heart, especially the tragic events that occurred in that basement. She was grateful for Bin’s interference but also blamed him because his actions may also complicate and worsen things, not for her but for him. She was well aware he was living a rough life yet he saved her and potentially doomed his fate if her father were to take action. Rika knew how her father acts and he would definitely not let Bin off the hook, in fact, sooner or later, he’ll do something horrible.Although Meliss
