"What the fuck are you?!" Jiyu took a step back, making the man's red eyes roll as he scoffed.

"By the way, she's cute," Alessandra said as she walked with Hyunjin to the others.
"Jiyu?"
"Yup."
"Yeah, she's adorable," he said without thinking, then blinked as he realized how fast the words had left his mouth, looking at Alessandra, who was smirking at him before looking ahead again.
"That reminds me—she likes red wine." He changed the subject, pouring two glasses of wine before taking quick steps toward the mansion, escaping his sister's knowing look and everyone else's questions.
Meanwhile, Jiyu was chilling in her bed, holding her book with one hand and petting Kkami, who snuggled into her chest, with the other. Then, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in~" she said without moving her gaze from her book—until the door opened, showing Hyunjin, who smoothly held two glasses with the fingers of one hand as he stepped inside.
"You're missing some good wine," he smiled as he moved one glass to his other hand, closing the door with his leg before walking in.
She raised her eyebrows, closing her book. "Damn, that's exactly what I need right now."
"I guessed."
He handed her the glass, sitting on the edge of the bed as he swayed his own. "Do I even wanna know what you're reading?"
Jiyu scoffed. "It's literally Marcus Aurelius' Meditations," she said before taking a sip of the wine, sighing as she savored the taste.
"I met Marcus Aurelius," he said calmly before taking a sip.
"Haha, so funny."
He didn’t laugh.
She blinked, then her eyes widened.
"You're not joking…" she muttered, and he shrugged.
"Hyunjin!" she exclaimed, making Kkami jump off her and the whole bed. Hyunjin chuckled.
"What?! I told you before, I'm nineteen centuries old, I guess."
"My goodness—meeting Marcus Aurelius?" she gulped down the whole drink before slamming the glass on her nightstand, then shifted her full attention to Hyunjin. "Tell me all about it."
"Well," he blinked, thinking for a moment, trying to remember. "It was the day before I slept for the first time, after my parents left me."
