- 9 Years Ago -
「Irene was in her senior year of high school and sehun in his sophomore year」
When I first meet Irene, it was a complete accident but it also seemed like a silver lining.
A simple bumping into eachother began our close friend ship
"Ah mian! Mianhae!" I said to the girl I had accidently bumped into. Reaching down to grab the books I caused her to drop.
As soon as our hands touched I felt a sudden rush of relief wash over me the sprits that felt latched onto to me seemd to disparate.
Looking up at her I saw it. the light that she emitted the feelimg of Grace calm and relief
Who are you?
Just being in your presences, feels like a blessing. She smiled slightly seemimg shy and walked away
From that momment on we somehow managed to grow close. I didn't want to be close to you just because you chased away my spirits and demons.
But you were absoueltly beautifual and kind
You could be cold, and dense
Irene, I really loved you. And I messed everything up
Is it to late?
- Jin's POV -
As I continue staying with irene it gets harder and harder to ignore the fact that heavens gate is getting weaker.
I want to stay here with you but the more I do the more danger I put you in.
Being able to feel all the demons in the area I put up markings in the shop to drive them away.
"Ah jin can you go to the store for me we need more flour" Hearing Irene ask from the kitchen. I closed the register
"Okay I got it ill be right back" making my way out of the shop and to the near by store I could feel my self being followed
It wasnt untill I walked into the store that the sense of someone watching me was at its peek.
"Hey cafe boy" reaching for the flour I turned my head in the direction of the voice
Recgonizng his face I scoffed, his expresion said it all
Aish my face must be to handsome for you to compare to.
Casually putting the flour in my cart I walked away not acknowledging him.
"Oi demon boy" He said instead. Slowly turning my cart around and pushing it back towards him I took a better look at him
Hes a seer all right. Why didnt I catch this before
"I know what you are" he said pulling the cart aside.
"You marked irene I could see the mark bastard" getting closer to me I tried my best not to fly him across the store
"So what if I marked her, whats it to you?" I told him pulling the cart back
Out of anger he kicked it and the flour in it went flying out
"Your mark is like a tag for the recklese demons in the areas saying eat me!" Going off on me he pushed me agaisnt the shelves
"I'm not gonna sit here and watch as irene is hypnotized by your ways and used for bait, I know these demons started appering after you showed up" clear to see this sehun is cocky and likes to come up with his own conclusions
"Okay, well I'm not gonna sit here and be yelled at for spilling flour I didn't even spill" putting my hand on his shoulder I sliglty pushed him. Sending him flying into the other shelf
"Why did she send me to get flour when I can just summon some?" I told myself walking out of the store leaving the spirit seeing boy behinde.
Such a nuisance he is.
As soon as I came into the shop irenes eyes darted from my hands to my face. She made a
- what are you doing back in my shop without flour get out -
Type of face
"Wheres the flour?!" Following me into the kitchen I cleared some counter space and simply whisked my hands over the space summoning flour
"Its right here" once again her eyes looked from the bags of flour to my face
"Thanks jin" out of nowhere she pulled at my sleeve and wove her hand signaling for me to bend down a bit to match her height
"Eh what is it-" I asked, unable to finish as she placed her lips on mine unexpectedly.
There was tension between us. Swiftly I lifted her onto the counter knocking over the bags of flour
Our lips not parting once but instead our kiss deepening Feeling her tounge fighting for dominance that I wouldnt give her
The arms she had wrapped around my kneck losned as she ran a hand through my hair and left one to rest on my shoulder.
This strange sensation of kissing her and almost feeling like I can't breath but also feeling as if I could breath for the first time
"Jin" she said pulling away
"Irene" I replied pushing back hair strands that strung infont of her face and pulling her closer to me
"Ive really fallen for you" looking down at her I felt a sudden beat in my chest
A continues beat going thump, thump, thump, thump.
"Jin? Is it wrong....of me to say that?" She asked looking sad.
"Ah aniyo! aniyo!" Trying to reassure her I couldn't understand this feeling in my chest
"Why don't we take a photo togehter? So I can make it my home screen! I read online couples do that" pulling out my phone trying to change the subject
I held the camera out and counted
Hana
Dul
Set!
"Owah! It came out really nice! Send this to me ill make it my home screen too!" She said snatching the phone and sending it to her self.
She Returned to serving tables I took a seat feeling my chest as it continued the same thumping sensation.
It then struck me.
Do I have a beating heart
How?
