Chapter 24: You are the only one for me (1/2)
On the other side, a mysterious blind young woman in a white long flowing dress is sitting on the highest electric pole of the city. Her long golden tresses are being played by the wind in the dead of the night. Her thin lips are pursed into a thin line. She slightly tilts her head and sighs.
”You never learn.”
There is a distant laugh. The woman frowns and says, ”Why are you here?”
”It's nice to see you too.” After a pause, the deep voice rings again. ”Little sister.”
”Tsk!” The woman furrows her delicate brows in annoyance. ”You are not needed here.”
”I will fix your mistakes.” The woman feels a strong pressure on her body. ”You can't control him, but I can.”
”Let me handle this.” She grits her teeth in anger. The invisible force is holding her down.
”You are too weak, Kismet.” The voice mocks her. ”You are easily swayed by emotions. You forget that you are a god too.”
”I have a plan.” Kismet hides her emotions and steady her voice.
”This is your last chance.” The invisible presence disappears. Kismet lets out a sigh of relief. She jumps down and lands in the middle of the crowded street. Nobody notices the woman. They ignore her existence like she is air.
”Reis, you went too far this time.” She mumbles to herself and runs her fingers through her golden hair. She tilts her head to hear the whispers that nobody can hear and counts using her fingers.

Sung Jun is leaning against the wall, cross-armed. His expression is serene while his eyes are fixed on the floor. Wang Mei is pacing in front of him impatiently. She glances at him once, then at the door of Fang Aisa's house. Then, she looks at her phone. Fang Aisa didn't return home. She didn't pick up her phone either. They can't find her anywhere.
”Sung Jun, why are you calm?” Wang Mei is strongly resisting the urge to slash down this boy using the sword that she stole.
Sung Jun doesn't reply. His quiet and unfathomable dark eyes give an uncomfortable feeling Wang Mei. She naturally looks away, gripping the hilt of the sword.
”You go inside and wait for her.” Sung Jun tells her in a deadpan voice. ”If she comes back, call me.”
”Are you going to look for her?” Wang Mei asks uneasily. He looks sort of angry, doesn't he?
He doesn't reply and leaves Wang Mei in front of Fang Aisa's house. Sung Jun might look calm, but that's a facade. Only he knows what he is feeling at the moment. He is sure that he will either die of anger or worry because of a certain girl.
