Unexpected Romance | Yejisu FF

Chapter 17

"Thanks for letting me stay over for the night Yiren," Yeji thanked Yiren who just came back from the kitchen after she finished washing the dishes.

Yiren smiled towards the cat eyed girl and held the door for her. "Oh, it's nothing. I mean, after all were friends now right?"

"Yeah, I guess we are... friends," Yeji said to Yiren while rubbing the back of her neck and looking up.

Silence developed between them as they just looked at each other. It took quiet a while until Yeji broke off the silence and cleared her throat. "Anyways, I gotta go to ... some places," Yeji bid farewell to Yiren.

Exiting Yiren's place, Yeji decided to walk anywhere that her feet and mind coordinated to take her.

Surprisingly enough, her stay at Yiren's place was nothing she first expected. The girl was surprisingly kind, cooked her food and all, heck Yiren even let her use her clothing.

She expected her stay there to be tensed and awkward. But for a person she met once, Yiren is fast to warm up to her. They clicked so fast, it's as if they've already known each other for a long time.

Even their first encounter went of smoothly, how they just casually converse out of nothing and despite being strangers, Yiren didn't mind at all for Yeji to stay over at her place. Yiren did say it herself that her and Yeji were the same and that she trusts the cat eyed girl.

Knowing that, Yeji cleared her mind and continued on her walk. Quietly strolling down the street, minding her own business. Not even looking where she's walking.

She's still quiet lost, literally. She has no where to go and she's still looking Ryujin's killer. Worst of all, she still felt tired. Not a lacking of sleep kind of tired, but instead she's tired spiritually. She couldn't rest at all, she still feels lacking and empty.

With her unconsciously walking and not minding her way. Yeji somehow managed to walk herself from Yiren's place all the way to where Jisu works.

And as she arrived in front of the store. Yeji stood still outside the line of sight of Jisu and Shuhua, as she silently looked inside the store. There she saw Jisu who looked tired, but despite the tired look on her face. Jisu still managed to pull of such a beautiful smile.

Because of what she saw, Yeji unconsciously smiled herself. Her mood rapidly went up just from the sight of Jisu.

It's been a couple of days since she saw the brunette. Although beyond her own consciousness her body really wants to head towards where Jisu is, like what she had just done just now.

But even though she tried to make sure she never encounter the girl, or even catch a glimpse of her. She still failed. She wants to see her and want to be around her.

But she can't, because she's scared.

Scared of what?

Well ... Yeji feared that Jisu might snob her, hate her and that because of that she may never have a chance to backup and explain herself if Jisu were to see the footage. Even though she never had any intentions of slaying her own friend.

That might be the most viable and more likely outcome if Jisu were to see the footage. But even with that in mind, Yeji still feared that Jisu might never look at her as a friend and that she may never see her.

In all honesty Yeji doesn't know why she care. She's never felt this before for another person, having guilt for another person's opinions or feelings towards her was not a problem for her.

But, Jisu is an exception.

The unknown emotion then started bubbling up inside her, warming up her body. She has this undiscovered emotions that she feels towards Jisu and she can't explain it.

The fact that she doesn't know what this emotion is, makes it seem like she's never really developed well as an angel.

Or maybe because she's became a devil for so long that she forgot what this emotion really is.

Feeling annoyed, Yeji sighed in frustration and decided to leave before Jisu might detect her presence. As a result, Yeji went back to just continue her journey with no destination.

Along the way, Yeji became bored that she just started kicking anything on the ground. Albeit a stone, plastic or which in this case is an empty rusty can.

Due to how hard she kicked the can, it flew and bounced away towards a dark alleyway with its source of light being only small streaks of light coming from the top of the buildings.

Yeji decided to enter the alley way anyways.

She doesn't have any specific destination anyway, so she decide that she might as well go where ever her mind and feet tells her to go.

With that in mind, she unconsciously walked her way inside the dark alleyway and it's exactly what she expected. It's really dark, one thing seems off putting for her though.

See as in the horizon, there is one large circle of light as she kept walking. This immediately alerted her to raise her guard.

It's dark in this chain of alleyway, but at the very end of one of the alleyway. There she saw a blinding light, clearly curious because of the suspicious looking light.

Yeji then slowly made her way towards the light. Of course with her cautiously keeping on guard incase things might get dicey.

Yeji took small steps, with each step she took the more she felt the need to scurry away from there, but her curiousity is getting the best of her.

She's still technically looking for the demon who killed Ryujin and if this could lead her to something that might help her on the long run. Then it's all worth it.

Even with that in mind. She still thought that this might just be some sort of light or some other things that is somehow reflecting the rays of the sun and making it illuminate such blinding light.

But as she got closer she realized that it wasn't something, but rather it was a someone.

This someone is illuminated by an unknown source of light, it's as if this unknown individual is standing under an invisible spotlight.

Not to mention is that this individual is wearing an all white attire.

Something did caught Yeji's attention, that was the dark colored hair of this unknown individual.

After tippy toeing towards this unknown individual, Yeji then slowly raised her hands, taking a nerve-racking amount of time to hold this someone.

Her hand was nearing the whole figure of the individual, her arms hovering the back of its. That was until this someone turned around.

Shocked from the sudden appearance of a familiar figure. Yeji gasped, stumbling backwards. "Wha- h-how in the world?"
