Episode 10

Meanwhile,

Sun hee was really hurt after what happened last night and she still couldn't get over it. She wad sitting with a sad expression on her face when the door opened. She flinched and looked that way. Seok hoon hurriedly stepped in and locked the door. She frowned in mild confusion.

"Uh.." he walked over to her. "Jiwoo and Min joo are downstairs and the others will come soon." He explained. "You have to keep the door locked from inside and don't make any kind of noise or anything." Sun hee got down the bed, fazed and scared. That day what happened with that guard attacking and hungrily coming to eat her. She couldn't imagine another situation like that. She was trembling from inside.

"What?' she spoke, her voice mostly breath.

"Don't worry" he said as he slowly walked closer to her. "I'm here". Her heart began pounding again. But then she remembered what happened last night. "But you have to be really carefully" she nodded, breaking the eyes contact. With that, Seok hoon left.

Sun hee dragged the chair closer to the door and stood on it to lock the door since it was too high.

After a while,

Jiwoo had been looking for a chance to go upstairs and do what she had to do but Seok hoon had his eyes on her. After waiting for a long time when she noticed Min joo was talking to Seok hoon, She didn't waste a second chance and went upstairs quickly.

Sun hee was on the bed when Jiwoo placed her hand on the door and pushed it to which it broke down. Sun hee immediately got down, gasping. Jiwoo looked at her in a shock.

"I knew it" she said. "You're a human. You're the one he was talking about. It's you"

Sun hee was scared and perplexed when Seok hoon flew over to the room and stood in front of Jiwoo. She stared at him furiously.

Seok hoon lifted his hand, releasing a flash of magic and the broken door locked up like it was before.

"It's a human" Jiwoo said to Seok hoon.

"You shouldn't have come here. This is not going to end good." He warned her.

Jiwoo glared fiercely at Sun hee and ran towards her as if to kill her when Seok hoon grabbed her from her elbow and pinned her against the wall. Sun hee gasped moving backward. Seeing Jiwoo's face which looked scary in anger, Sun hee was frightened.

"Seok hoon" Jiwoo hissed.

"You have to stop" he replied. "Don't try to hurt her" Jiwoo drifted her deadly gaze from Sun hee to Seok hoon.

"Hurt her?" She spoke."I'm going to kill her" she pushed him away and ran towards Sun hee. Seok hoon grabbed her from her throat and threw her up on the wall. She fell down.

Squatting down, Seok hoon glanced at her.

"Fight with me if you want to. She is innocent"

"They are not innocent. They are our enemies." Her voice grew loud. "How could you fight be because of her?" Her eyes turned red, her face scary.

"If you dare to hurt her, you have to fight with me"

They were giving each other one after another sharp glare when Jiwoo kicked Seok hoon in the stomach with all her powerful strength. He flew and landed beside the door. Jiwoo roared, her fangs coming out and she jumped on Sun hee. Sun hee squatted down and covered her face by her hands, closing her eyes tightly.

A flash of magic formed in Seok hoon's hand, a sky colour shining thing like stone appeared and he held it tightly. Running towards Jiwoo, he hit her in the stomach with the same. Her eyes popped out and they were slowly shutting down now.

"I'm sorry but I had to. I really do hope you survive" he told her before she fell down and passed out. Sun hee stared at Seok hoon in surprise. Their gaze connected. Suddenly someone knocked the door. They were Min joo and others.

"What's happening?" One of them spoke. Both Sun hee and Seok hoon flinched and glanced to the door. Before they could come in, Seok hoon broke down the window. Then he walked over to Sun hee, slid his hand around her waist, making her stand he pulled her closer to his body.

Her heartbeat grew faster while her expression still lost and confused when he grabbed her hand and placed it on his shoulder.

"Hold tight" With that, he jumped down the window. Sun hee closed her eyes, gripping on his shoulder tightly. Seok hoon spread his wings in the air and began to fly away.

When Sun hee opened her eyes, she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Seok hoon's wings were incredibly huge and he was flying high. As she looked down, she could see almost the whole Blissvile. They flew forward and she saw places like she had only seen in haunted movies. They were really aesthetic, not creepy and unbelievably beautiful.

At front there was this huge, high waterfall. It was so beautiful and everything else around was eyes catching and bewitchingly exquisite as well. Seok hoon landed on the side of the waterfall, behind which there was a small cave.

Sun hee couldn't see Seok hoon becoming villain of his own friends and family because of her. He put her as his first priority and didn't even think before taking any step. By that, she knew she meant a lot to him. That he was ready to go against his own father. He even killed that guard that day, Sun hee didn't even know if Jiwoo was alive or already dead by now. All to save her.

"Do you trust me?" He asked softly, gazing into her eyes, making her flinch a little.

"Huh?" She didn't know why he asked that.

"I never felt anything for Jiwoo" So he was finally giving an explanation. She thought he couldn't find a more perfect time for that as they both were at a big risk right now. She internally laughed.

"I didn't answer her because I had told her the same thing many times but she never gets it," he continued. "Whatever I used to do, it wasn't distraction or to get over Jiwoo or any other girl. It was just me. I was like that since the beginning. And nor did I ever take anything for serious but now" he paused.

Sun hee wanted him to keep talking as if she was dying to hear further.

"For the first time, I'm serious about something, about someone. And that someone is you." A long breath left Sun hee's lips, with that the tightness in her chest, all the doubts, everything vanished.

Although anything could happen the next moment but that happiness was worth all of that. The little moment of happiness was priceless. She felt like that empty void in her heart got filled. There was this part in her that was incomplete and now it was finally complete.

She had always thought there was something missing, there was always something she'd finally get rid free of that uneasiness once she'd be successful but she had no idea that 'missing' thing was nothing but someone's selfless love that would make her feel like the most important people.

"Now if you trust me, don't move away from here" she frowned as he said that.

"I'll be back" he assured.

"Don't go here or there. This is the safest place. If you trust me, don't move from here and wait for me"

"Everyone must've had found out by now" Seok hoon said. "They must've revived Jiwoo and she must've told them everything and your stuff in the room." He sighed in regret. "They already know"

Hearing that, Now Sun hee was more anxious at what would happen. She was only worried about Seok hoon. She was afraid of him getting in trouble just because he saved her.

"Don't go!" She said in worry. "You should hide somewhere" Hearing that, Seok hoon slightly chuckled.

"I can't hide from my father, Sun hee" he replied, gently. "I have to go and talk to him but don't worry. I'll come back." With that, he opened his wings and flew above. Sun hee raised her eyes at him floating in the air.

"Stay here only. Don't move" he spoke loudly and flew away.

Meanwhile,

In the Royal Castle, everyone was present there. Joo Dan Tae was sitting on his throne, his sons beside him and others in front of him. Jiwoo's father, the general was outraged including everyone else there. There was anger and a hint of fear visible on their faces. Joo Dan Tae looked unhappy but he hadn't spoke a word yet.

"My daughter could've died!" The general fumed in anger. "Now he is killing his own kind for humans?" He questioned in disbelief. "He has become a threat, a menace! Do something about him!"

Another minister from the crowd walked forward and spoke,

"Just because he is your son does not mean you'll let this go. He has become our enemy now!" They all looked angry and were firm on their decision. They wanted Joo Dan tae to do something about Seok hoon, teach him a lesson, banish him or anything.
