❝ Yeah and I'm never letting you go back home alone like that ever again. ❞ Firmly intertwining hands with his soulmate, the boy made a promising face for Mijin to listen to his words so she wouldn't fall into harsh consequences like today.

❝ Gee Mr Park, guess I'll listen to you this time. ❞ Faintly smiling, Mijin switched onto another topic as her mind was recalling the memories about her smile which was now back in a regular condition.

It wasn't certified yet but seeing how the guy's normally fine even after seeing her smile made the youngster proud since she wasn't harmless anymore. But it could be dangerous for her to be out on herself and that's what made Mijin feel uncertain whether she's supposed to feel glad or not.

❝ Heyyy, why do you look like you have something to tell me? Or are you gonna give me a goodnight kiss, huh? ❞ Teasingly with wiggly brows, the witty boy flirts and Mijin just embarrassedly hit his chest playfully for getting so cheesy out of the blue. ❝ Aish bro, stop dreaming. ❞ Mijin shakes her head from side to side since she was flustered by his cliché words which the boy would always use to joke around her or easily moving heart into a beating mess.

❝ Haha, then tell me what it is. ❞ Playing with her hands as he patiently waited for her to spill the matter, the boy just showed her a cunning smile. An angelic one which she loved admiring to be specific.

Nodding while pouting her cute lips like a tiny duckling, she gripped her senses and comments together before gathering them as one. It wouldn't hurt to share her opinions with Jongseong since he knew everything in her life.

❝ My curse... ❞

Bringing up about the serious topic made the appealing guy's face serious as he wasn't light-hearted when it comes to her misery.

❝ I think it's gone for good this time. ❞

Her confession put a huge grin on the youngster as he speechlessly dropped his jaw with a serious expression. ❝ I'm not sure yet but it didn't work a few moments ago...❞ When she tried to hurt the creepy stranger cause he wasn't identified yet, she knew that she's lost her powers.

❝ Mijin... ❞ Trailing his deep voice off, the charming guy starts. ❝ That's the greatest thing I've heard my whole life! ❞ , exclaiming like a cute little child who just got his candy, Jongseong widened his eyes before expressing his emotions.

Well, if he must admit, he's a bit disappointed cause Mijin might lose her independence and security but he, who's her soulmate was there to protect of course. This was what they'd been wishing their whole life. Guess her misery's finally having an end after all. ❝ But how did it happen? ❞ The same question dwelled in Mijin's mind as well since she wasn't particularly living to lift the curse away from her life.

She didn't remember about the removal.

❝ I don't know either. But it doesn't rain anymore when I smile at the sky though. ❞ Lifting his eagle eyes along to where Mijin's gaze took him, the boy didn't see a single droplet escaping from the dim and limitless sky.

He couldn't feel more glad and relieved than right now to notice the relaxing smile taking full place over Mijin's face.

He loved to see it on her so freely.

The sobriety beaming on her face was outstandingly gorgeous and could be described in so many beautiful ways. His clouded mindset could finally find its light through the darkness.

The light named Hwang Mijin  who'd saved him from the wrong before it's too late.

Tugging her inside his hearty warmth, Jay just patted her head like a small little spoon who's being hugged by him.

❝ See? I told you that our bond's working. ❞ Chuckling as his honey tone passed her ears, the youngster just embraced him back tight.

Jongseong's hugs were indeed the best for her.

Staring outside the simplified glass window of their huge company, Mijin crossed her arms as she's fully invested in smiling at the glass window now that her curse was gone. She still hasn't figured out why though.

Tucking a wavy strand behind her left ear, the girl's who's in her chiffon patchwork with flared white sleeves and a bow decorated in the middle who impressed her as a rightful heiress of DIF, soon entered the meeting hall.

❝ Glad to see you here. ❞ , said Taehyun as he fixed his tie. The concerning inheritors were invited by chairman Hwang of DIF since he wanted to hold a meeting so bluntly.

Mijin sheepishly smiled at her soulmate who soon stepped into the congressional room with others as they made it seem less obvious that they're dating so the society would avoid judging about her income.

❝ As some of you may've known, meet Hwang Mijin. My first grandchild and supposedly the heiress of our company. ❞ Mijoo immediately stormed a disastrous gaze towards the chairman after hearing the old man's words which were too salty to her liking.

❝ But there's also Hwang Mijoo who's rightfully elected to be the inheritor as my other grandchild. ❞

Mijin mostly narrowed her eyes at her grandfather complex words. Was he on the first blood or Mijoo's side? She didn't care whether she'll get to become the real heiress or not since such things as greed and reputation didn't matter that much to her at all.

She just wanted to let Mijoo feel the bitter taste of vengeance.

She couldn't understand the grumpy old man's decisions nor what he's planning to do.

❝ However, there can't be two inheritors in one place. ❞ That concrete logic has been lasting for years and he didn't plan on changing it even if he loved his grandchildren fairly since they're also an essential part of his blood.

❝ So I declare that the inheritors of DIF shall compete throughout a contest to testify their truly belonged positions. ❞
