Chapter 173 - Too Flawed (1/2)

Staring at the door of the inn, Chaeyoung watched the rain droplets fall slowly on the ground and lamented. A part of her wanted to run into that rain and wash away that sadness she felt.

Oh Chaeyoung knew that she was wrong. She was sent to the battleground, and before entering into the battleground, she was perfectly armoured. Ways her enemy could make her lose were known to her yet she lost.

Chaeyoung knew that she had no one to blame. When Minhyun looked for her, she immediately agreed to take on the job despite knowing what this job would require for her to do.

Chaeyoung let out a sigh as the scent of the rain invaded her nostrils. The greenery in front of her was vaguely visible due to the low lighting, and she couldn't see more than a few metres. The sky was dark, and silence surrounded all around.

Footsteps interrupted that silence, and she took no effort to turn back. Her heart beat rapidly within her chest as she had an inkling on who it could be.

Feeling his presence, she wanted to turn back and be angry at him for being this late. She craved for him to explain everything to her, and a part of her was desperate to keep this facade on.

However, Chaeyoung did not crumble and maintained on a nonchalant expression. Although her heart ached, she managed to keep the emotions from showing up in her eyes.

She recalled about Han Minhyun, and for this emotions of hers, she did not want to betray Minhyun. Taking in a deep breath, Chaeyoung turned back to look towards Eunwoo.

It seemed that he had taken a bath, and water dripped down his wet hair. A towel was placed around his neck whilst an indecipherable look sat in his eyes. There was a thick, dense wall around him, and a foolish part of Chaeyoung thought that she'll be able to penetrate through that wall around him.

”You weren't shocked,” Chaeyoung enunciated.

Her eyes showed an array of emotions whilst they stared upon him. Narrowing her eyes at him, she tried to decipher the emotions which was shown in his eyes. Nervousness brewed up within her.

She was met with silence from him. Ahn Eunwoo stepped closer to Chaeyoung and stood beside her. His eyes stared upon the sky above him.

”From when did you know about it?” She asked whilst she looked at his side profile.

In her opinion, Ahn Eunwoo looked extremely lonely at this moment, and urge to comfort him brewed up within Chaeyoung. Chaeyoung wanted to argue that her feelings for Eunwoo were real; They weren't there due to his abilities.

However, she wasn't sure whether or not they were due to the influence of his powers. Every second she spent with him was memorable to him, and no matter how hard she tried, Chaeyoung wouldn't be able to erase those away.

”Beginning,” Eunwoo answered, ”Han Minhyun's plan was too flawed.”

Letting out a sigh, Chaeyoung voiced out, ”Flaws— he left those on purpose.”
