27 Diary 27: Aphrodite's Chosen One
Min Soo's head filled with the sight of bloodshed, his bronze eyes focus on the bloodstained wall on his left. The shadows of the creature that attacked him looming in the corner, as the demon's getting closer, Aphrodite comes in the demon's way, her staff shines upon the demon somewhat illuminating the dark atmosphere in light.
Aphrodite stares down toward the frozen idol on the floor, perhaps shocked and scared. The Goddess shakes her head in disappointment, she pulls him up as she encourages him.
"Min Soo, you're the chosen one! You cannot act this cowardly! Not when they're active in chasing our candidates!" the Goddess lectures him.
Min Soo stands up as he pushes the Goddess away from him, he curses the beautiful Goddess that stands before him. He bit his lips dreadfully as he approaches the Goddess angrily. His hand is already forming a fist, perhaps irked by the Goddess strings that pulls him out of his realm.
"Do you think I'm your puppet!? A puppet that is controlled by you!" Min Soo growls toward the Goddess.
The Goddess pins Min Soo on the wall behind him, her pink eyes shine in the darkness of the night.
"I am the one who summoned here Min Soo, then shouldn't you know what that means!?" the Goddess smirks threateningly. "It also means I have the power to get you back to your dear Seoul City".
The Goddess is right, if he fulfills his role as her warrior then he can go back to his world in peace. However, he can't fathom but think that he's under the Goddess's mercy and threads. His consciousness slowly fades away, as the Goddess touches his forehead. Suddenly he feels lightheaded.
The man fell onto the floor, as the darkness fills his vision; he gives in to the sudden slumbers the Goddess gave her.

Wilson excuses himself as he exits the door, leaving the two gentlemen on the bed. Min Soo blushes as David's hand touches his feverish cheek, David awkwardly skives away Min Soo's bang. Letting the two of them touching each other only making the air around them intense, the maids and butlers stride away silently from the room.
The two of them are in their own world, Min Soo is enjoying the warmth of the prince's hand. However, his happiness soon fades away when the memory of the Goddess crosses his mind.
Furious of the memories, the man growls under his breath; muttering incoherent words. David doesn't understand what he's muttering thus he asks the Idol about it.
"I met Aphrodite" Min Soo sighs. "She told me about the origin of my summon".
The Idol crosses his arms together, possibly annoyed that the Goddess randomly summons him out of his world. He also hasn't had the chance to ask the Goddess why he was chosen from all the people in the world.
Min Soo regretfully curses himself for not asking the Goddess the question before she sends him away to be awakened by the prince's mesmerizing navy eyes.
David sits next to Min Soo as his eyes peer into Min Soo's bronzed ones, listening to Min Soo carefully.
"What are you talking about-".
"I gained pieces of information from the Goddess Aphrodite, please listen to my explanation David" Min Soo adds seriously.
Min Soo explained about his dreams and where did he get the grimoire in his hand, he justifies that the dreams he had always pointed to the fact that the Goddess Aphrodite is the one in charge of summoning him in the world of Sanctus Luminera.
It appears to be that he's not the only one who is summoned, each God and Goddesses chose their warriors randomly.
They chose their fighters to make the world Sanctus Luminera thrives in peril, to save the world from impending doom. Thus, he was summoned, Kim Min Soo was chosen by the Goddess of Love as Her warrior in shining armor. David remains in silence, the man's eyebrows furrowed in curiosity.
Not only that, the Goddess can return the Idol to whence he came, she can teleport him back if he fulfills his role in Sanctus Luminera. While explaining the detail, a raven-haired man comes into his bedroom, wearing a somewhat distinctive night blue coat with a furry cape.
Min Soo's eyes immediately darts toward the mysterious man who suddenly made his entrance toward his room. It's the man who saved him, his golden eyes give a sudden chill in Min Soo's spine.
His feline pattern eyes and his mumbling growl make it as if the man stays on his guard. David looks back at the raven-haired stranger behind him, he sighs in disappointment.
"Some of my maids and butlers were killed, and Min Soo is in danger" David sighs. "Where were you, Crow Setzer?".
The man with the name Crow snarls at me antagonistically, he smells Min Soo out of nowhere like a wild beast. Min Soo was irked, but even so, he's the man who saved his life. The raven-haired man smirks at the terrified Min Soo, his fangs shine brilliantly when he's smirking at the Idol.
David's expression feels as if he's in a gutter
His heart palpitates when Crow approaches him like nothing, he's unaware of his sudden approach would stiffen the Idol.
"Ah, sorry to surprise you out of nowhere! This is my co-worker, Crow Setzer" David introduces the strange man who just smelled Min Soo. "He will be with us, but first I have to atone for my mistakes".
His eyes wander toward something outside his bedroom, Min Soo's bedroom. The butler who escorted him before bowed down as he enters Min Soo's chamber. The bandages around his forehead and his arms are scarred.
"The funeral is ready sir, everyone is already lined up" the butler spoke.
The funeral he must have spoken off must be the funeral of the fallen maids and butlers. Min Soo clenches the edges of his blanket, if the man is not being a burden; he could have saved those fallen people. However, he knew full well that he's unable to save any of them.
Min Soo can only cling to those around him for safety, he hates that part of himself.
