Chapter 4: The Secluded House

Seoho gaped at how big the house was. At the middle was a fountain with an angel holding a trumpet, water spouting out satisfyingly. Flowers surrounded the fountain from below, giving it colors. At both sides were wide fields of grass neatly mowed.

"Wow, is this really yours?"

"Not really. My superior provided this for my mission. It's for the eight of us."

Seoho parked his car on the garage, along with Ravn's at the right side. They both got off the car. Gabrielle opened the door at the back seat for Seoho. Leedo was still unconscious.

"Did I hurt him too much? He's not waking up." Gabrielle clasped her hands together as Seoho took Leedo out of the car. "He'll be okay. I think you released too much strength on him." He laughed a little which made Gabrielle pout.

Seoho placed Leedo's left arm over his shoulder, his right arm holding his side as well. Gabrielle, who felt guilty, took Leedo's right arm and placed it on her shoulder too.

"By the way, Seoho." Gabrielle began. "I think it would be best if you'll be the one to explain Leedo about this. I think you'll be able to handle him well. And besides, I did something to him and probably he won't listen to me."

"Sure, no problem."

They made their way inside the house, and as soon as they were all inside, Seoho was again in awe. His eyes instantly met the giant chandelier on the ceiling that was sparkling.

"Oh, you're here." Gabrielle looked up and saw Ravn looking down from the railings on the stairs. His eyes met Seoho and on Leedo who was unconscious. He instantly went down the stairs.

Ravn lifted Leedo's right arm and softly pushed you aside to take your place. "What happened to him?"

"I knocked him out." Gabrielle sheepishly replied, avoiding eye contact with Ravn.

"You what!?"

"I didn't mean to go that far!" Gabrielle argued as Ravn gave her a look. "Let's talk later, let's bring Leedo to his room first, okay?"

Ravn sighed in return. They walked up the stairs and to his room.

Seoho laid him down on the bed and covered him with blanket. The three of them relaxed. Gabrielle leaned on the wall and stared at the ground, waiting for Ravn to speak.

"So what happened?"

"We had a fight and I guess I used too much strength on him."

Ravn sighed. "Aren't angels supposed to act like angels? Why are you acting violently?"

"That's what I said a while ago too." Seoho replied, laughing at how they shared the same thought about Gabrielle.

"That's why I'm sorry!" Gabrielle exclaimed like a little girl talking back at her parents.

In the midst of Gabrielle who is seemed to be reprimanded by a mortal, Leedo's eyes fluttered open. He got up while groaning, caressing his jaw. On the other side, Gabrielle's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Leedo finally gaining consciousness.

"Oh my god, you're finally awake!" She cried as she hugged Leedo in joy. Gabrielle was basically kneeling on the floor while she hugged Leedo who was sitting up on the bed. Leedo's eyes widened. He looked down at Gabrielle wrapping her arms around his torso like a teddy bear. He glanced at Ravn and Seoho who looked as surprised at him.

"Hey--"

"I thought I killed you!" She cried. "I thought you're not going to wake up!"

The moments that happened earlier came back. Of how this girl has easily beaten him. He was supposed to be angry, but the sight of Gabrielle hugging him like this suppressed his anger. His face started to turn red, and it was visible to Ravn and Seoho. Seoho tried to hold back his laughter so he looked away. He was well aware it wasn't red because of anger.

"Hey, hey. I'm alive, okay?" Leedo tried to pry off Gabrielle's arms from hugging him. Gabrielle leaned back and Leedo can finally see her smiling so wide. She looks like an angel, he thought.

"I'm sorry, I went too far." Gabrielle apologized. "I won't--Hold on, Seoho, weren't you hungry?" Gabrielle's head whipped from behind her as she looked up at Seoho, which at this moment had his stomach rumbling once again.

"Man, your timing is perfect. I've already finished cooking."

"You cook?" Gabrielle glanced at him.

"Ramyun." He said with so much pride. Seoho and Gabrielle nodded with their mouth open.

Seoho gave Ravn's shoulder a tap. "Okay that's cool, man, but bring me to the kitchen. I'll show you what real cooking is."
