Six people gathered in a room that was dim and red, as usual. They sat in a circle with grins and blank stares. One of them rolled the dice there, then ran the pawn according to the number that appeared.

The person took the card containing the quest that matched the location of the pawn. They smiled happily, finally got their turn to 'do it' this time.

"Get it right, as I said before, we desperately need the knight. He's pretty tough, so be careful."

They nodded, then immediately went to work out their plan. The boy who had just given the advice then leaned his back on his throne. He ruffled his hair roughly, feeling frustrated for someone he had been looking for everywhere.

"Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?"

"Damn it ! Where is Seo Changbin? Why is it so hard to find him? The kingdom will be crippled without a bishop!"

Everyone left there just looked down. They also knew that Changbin held an important key in this game. It was fitting for his role to be the 'dark horse' for the kingdom.

However, his role could be a strength,

Or it could be a boomerang.

"Don't stop looking for him! Look for Changbin in all corners of the city. Drag him if necessary!"

"Get some rest, Y/n. You look tired and unstable."

Chan's touch on your back made you look at him. He slightly widened his eyes after seeing your pale face. Without a word, he carried you away from the table with a pile of schoolwork on it.

Gently, he laid you down on the bed, kissed your lips briefly then pulled you into his arms.

"Chan, my homework isn't done yet."

"You can continue later. You are stressed and have a lot of burden on your mind. Don't push yourself."

You just nodded then immediately went into his arms. It's undeniable that you were exhausted from all of this. And these days, your head hurted a lot. The pain also always appeared with flashes of scenes that you didn't know where it came from.

And you didn't even know why, you were quite familiar with the people in it.

Chan knew what happened to you. After he talked to Hyunjin a few days ago, he realised that as time went on, those memories would come back in your head.

It's just, he couldn't. Every time that memory came up, you always winced in pain. You also got a nosebleed when it happened. He knew you were very stressed and rarely smiled like before.

He couldn't, it hurted his heart to see you like this.

He wanted to do something, no matter how small it was to cheer you up.

Chan got out of bed and walked over to his desk. He fished something out of it and then smiled when he found it. He then handed two small pieces of paper to you, making you frown in confusion.

"What is this, Chan?"

"Access ticket for hot air balloon experiment. Soon, it will be one of the rides in tourist attractions that will be launched in this city. I want to ask you to go there with me, let's just say it's a date. You seem stressed lately and I want to bring you some refreshment."

Chan's words made you blush. He was an extraordinary man. Honestly, you didn't want him to feel burdened by your current situation, but apparently, he noticed it first.
