Zene sat on his bike as he made space for Aren to sit behind him.She avoided eye contact as she sat away from him more than usual.Zene knew that she was hurt and he also knew that it was time for her to know the truth.Vroom*(Was I wrong?), Zene thought.(Was I wrong to have made that decision back then?)(Really, who am I to decide who dies)(I never thought that way because of my life on the battlefield)(I always knew that the one to pull the trigger first wins and I did it to survive)(Was I really wrong?), Zene was contemplating inside as he drove towards the orphanage.***Many years ago,"Aren, do you like gardens", Jin inquired."Gardens?""Yes, do you remember back when I first came to orphanage you were there for me", Jin stated."Back then I had lost everything I was always lonely and yet you looked out for me""It's because we are friends aren't we", Aren replied."Yeah, will you always love my garden?""Even when there are no longer any flowers in the garden?""I will
Daegu, KoreaJang Seok drove across the city as he reached Daegu and drove his way towards the bungalow.Thud*Rustle*The bungalow was silent and not a hint of lights to be present nearby.He looked around the suspicious environment as he made his way into the bungalow.Creak*"What the fuck!"He looked at the dead bodies scattered across the floor as the blood had dried up.Step*The floor was sticky as his white shoes were stained with dried blood.Jang Seok looked inside as he opened the flashlight on his phone and searched the basement.His nose recognised the smell, it was the smell of blood.Many armed men's corpses were scattered across the basement as Jang Seok made his way out into the security room as he found the leader of the Daegu Sector.He was killed while the karambit still remained pierced to the man's neck.He searched around for anymore clues regarding who could have attempted to attack their Triad group in this fashion.Jang Seok pulled the karambit out with his b
Vroom*Aren sat close to me despite the space she had to sit at the back of my bike.My senses heightened unusually as her chest rubbed against my back at the twisty roads.Somehow for some reason it felt really awkward to me.It was just strange to see her being so kind to me all of a sudden.I didn't think she liked the Jin within me when in all my memories we used to quarrel a lot.She is still young so I think she is just interested right now due to her age.Aren hugged him from behind while he was riding the bike which surprised him."Aren, can you give me some space?""You have plenty""Yeah but you don't have to hug me from behind don't you have the side support to hold onto?""I like it this way"This girl."Where are we going?", she asked."A place I know of""Ok"We walked together for a while after I parked the bike.For some reason it felt strange walking beside her.Was it guilt I was feeling I don't know and it's funny how I, the fragment of emotion holder doesn't know hi
16 years ago"Natsuki, what is love?""Why are you asking me these kinds of questions lately, Zene?""I was just wondering and you never gave me a proper answer to begin with""What is a proper answer, according to you?""The thing that you feel is what I want to know", Zene said as he gazed into Natsuki's black eyes."It's a long story""I have time to spare", Zene replied.Sigh*"Where do I start?""The point where you met Miss Clara""That's a long long story and it will take ages to finish it""How long have you known Miss Clara for?""Hmm more than 100 years, why?""Wait what? You are in your late 20s aren't you?""Yes""I don't get it""Zene there are things in this world you can't explain""Just like the fragment you possess within you"Zene's eyes widened as Natsuki grinned at him."You knew?""Yeah, I can see a lot of things and knowing which one is a fragment user is just one of them""You are full of surprises, Mr. Natsuki""...""How did you live for more than 100 years?"
I looked at the empty streets as the windshield was covered by the heavy rain that was drizzling across Seoul.(My stomach hurts), Sang Cheol thought.There was a lot on my mind as I held the steering of my car.("What happened, Sang Cheol?""I made my mind up now""About what, Sang Cheol?""About change, Noona")Vroom*My feelings were running rampant as I firmly held the steering wheel.When I looked at Zene and Aren I felt strange.Was it regret? Was it pity? Was it my helplessness?I don't know.Vroom*I drove through the night city as I firmly held the steering wheel.("Why father? Am I not supposed to have friends or anything more than that?""Sang Cheol I don't have time to talk to you about this""When did you get the time to talk anyway""You and your stupid empire that you rule""Sang Cheol!""...")Why? Why must it be like this?Vroom*Sang Cheol plunged on the accelerator of the BMV V5 Competition in the wet conditions that it began drifting through the corners.Vroom*He
"Ah! I am so tired right now after all the events that took place today", Aren said as she sighed and stretched her legs that were sore from all the dancing she had done previously. Zene stared at her as he chuckled at her awkward way of relaxing her muscles."Let me help you with that"Zene massaged her muscles as he gently carrased her bare foot as he slightly tickled her toe."Wow, is there anything you are not good with beside women?"Chuckle*"Aren, I am wondering whether you know that we have our last exam tomorrow?""Wait? What?!""Why?!"Her voice echoed through the silent room and Zene left out a deep sigh as he looked at the clueless woman in front of him. "How will I do anything at this point, I haven't even begun reading yet""It's all right, I will help you with that""Ah! Now I definitely have to live as a poor beggar if I don't get straight A's at this point!""Calm down, Aren!""We have 15 chapters, to finish""Out if which, I will get you covered for the 8 most impor
May 21st 1997Chatter Noises intensify*"The bar is really busy today, it seems like there is no space to even walk in here", Zene stated as he made his way through the bar with a subordinate of his.Chatter noises intensify*Zene searched around the bar as he was supposed to meet a really important figure today."On your left, Zene", said a man with a low pitched voice. The subordinate accompanying Zene showed him the way towards the voice.A white haired man who looked like he was in his early 30s sat on a lavish VIP couch wearing shabby clothing.Thud*Zene approached the man as he sat in front of him and looked into those brown eyes of the white haired man."Antony Raigarh, Is there a reason for you to summon me when I am currently carrying out a mission?""Zene", he said calmly as his voice rejuvenated throughout the VIP room."The map""...", Zene stuttered in front of this man who was calmly and lavishly sitting on the couch."I know where it is going to be", he said."Where i
"Young girl", Antony Raigarh said as he stared at those red eyes of hers."If you don't mind, Can you buy me a drink?"Huff* Puff*Zene barged through the doors as the Disco noises intensified. Huff* Puff*He looked at the white haired man staring at Aren due to which Zene didn't hold back and rushed to the scene."Yi So Yeon!", he yelled."Oh, Zene where have you been I couldn't find you anywhere inside the club""Come with me!", Zene pulled her arm as he dragged her along with him.The man stared at the both individuals leaving the club.His dead brown eyes showed no hint of emotion while the wrinkles on his face appeared prominently due to the lighting of the club."Zene""...", The man took a sip from the glass as he wondered."Zene Lach, It has been a long time since I have heard of that name", he said.Disco noises intensify*Thud*A middle aged man of Mexican origin came towards Antony Raigarh and sat beside him."You are late", Antony Raigarh stated."I was busy with my work"
