Chapter 64 - Frustration [1] (1/2)

Wearing a wide smile upon her face, Jiwoo's eyes held sparkle at them while she stared upon Hyungwon, and she voiced out, ”Wow! This is easy!”

Lowering her hand, she attempted to shoot another electric ball, and seeing how it touched the ground made her want to do more.

”That's enough. You will need to use your powers with care or else you will not be able to use them when you need it. Using powers requires energy, and it is not unlimited. I presume that you still haven't had blood,” Hyungwon vocalised.

Raising her hand, Jiwoo ran them through her hair and spoke out, ”No, I didn't.”

”I have no clue on how much longer you will be able to hold on. When you get the ċhėst pains later on, be sure to let me know,” he vocalised.

Moon Jiwoo nodded.

That's when, Moon Jiwoo sensed the running figures that came towards her, and before she was able to turn back, she was engulfed into a back hug. The grip was tight.

”Daerin-ah, I missed you so much,” Sookyung voiced out, rubbing his nose in her hair.

Irritated by his gesture, Moon Jiwoo raised her hand to grab on to his hand and flipped him over her swiftly. A gasp left Sookyung's mouth, and before he was able to fall on the ground harshly, she reflexively grabbed on to his wrist.

Pulling him closer to her, she grabbed on to his waist to secure him. Moon Jiwoo hated this new body of hers for protecting Sookyung. She would have been deeply pleased if his spine broke from this.

”Omo! Are you alright? This is reflex towards the perverts. I hope you did not mind this,” she stated, faking a concerned expression. The mock behind it was not hidden well by Oh Sookyung.

Raising his hand, Oh Sookyung grabbed on to her shoulder and stabilized himself. Then, Moon Jiwoo let go of her hold upon his waist and took couple of steps backward.

”My hands got dirty again,” she mumbled, making it loud enough for Oh Sookyung to hear.

”No, I am perfectly fine since you have protected me, Daerin-ssi. Your will to protect me is great,” he vocalised, ”You act fast.”

'Stop! Stop! Stop! Moon Jiwoo, straighten your forehead. You can't let that frown form on your forehead! You can not get irritated! He is a bastard, and you can not lose to him.'

”Thief, you are currently unable to use your powers, right? You should stop slacking off and practice. Being a burden isn't that fun and makes you seem like a loser,” she pointed out.

”I am not being a burden though,” he spoke out, ”And about my practicing, Hyungwon hasn't mentioned anything about it, so I will be fine.”

”Sookyung, about that, unlocking your powers will be harder than the one for Daerin,” Hyungwon vocalised, ”I am unable to train you on that, and soon enough, someone will be coming to teach you. Currently, he is occupied with something.”

”So, until that person shows up, Oh Sookyung will continue to be a burden? Ah! That's so troublesome!” she let out a groan.

”Are you getting irritated, Miss Daerin?” Sookyung questioned— showing mock in his voice.

”No,” she replied, ”When did you see me getting irritated?”

”You just did; you let out that groan. That is suppose to count as you getting irritated,” he argued.

”You have misheard. I did not groan,” Shin Daerin lied.

”Are you lying now? Wow! You are quite a sore loser! Your face clearly shows how angry you are getting,” Sookyung insisted.

Rage within Moon Jiwoo began to rise, and she clenched her hand into a tight fist. Regardless of how hard it was, she forced out a smile on her face.

”Unlike you, I don't have any interest in slacking off. I will go and practice,” she said.

Knowing that she would sooner or later blow off of she were to continue this conversation with Oh Sookyung, she turned her back on him and was determined to walk away.
