The Nobleman

Attachment vs Decay Theory

If not for you, Koo Ja Yoon, I wouldn't have came back here. You sure have a knack for finding trouble. Why did you have to lure me to meet in this place? If I were you, don't mess with that b*tch.

I can see you. From a far. Your hair grew a bit. What have you been up to the past month? I can almost grasp you now but I won't dare come close to whatever infiltration plan you are doing. I'll stay out of that.

Can you sense me? Should I wait for you here? It's like waiting for my girl to finish her work but on a different context.

Besides, did you lure me here so I'll help you? I doubt that. I'm not your friend, Ja Yoon. We're not at that stage yet. You need to woo me better than just giving me this cap.

She's inside now. I don't know what's happening in there. But the last time I came here with the professor, I saw these monsters of a different level. They kinda disgusted me. They're just so dirty. It's like they were primitive and developed, all at the same time. I can't really explain. All I know is I wouldn't mess with them. I don't know what that twin's done to make those monsters so... compliant. I shudder at the thought of imagining it.

It's been an hour now. How long are you gonna take in there? For all I know, you're dead in there. That can't be though. You're an alpha. Hah. Impossible.

Suddenly, I saw glass breaking over at the top floor of this deserted facility. Looks like it's getting messy in there. Are you also gonna take down this facility now? Will you find what you're looking for there?

I guess, I'm safe in this parked car. I'm far enough. Let's try to see what's happening in there.

Let's concentrate and broaden my senses. What's happening in there?

-----------------------------------------------
*spits blood* "I said, don't touch me. I asked nicely, too." she says.

Another woman with a scar on her face seems to have been fighting her for a while. The professor's twin, seemingly unbothered just sat there on her desk.

They've been throwing punches here and there. Ja Yoon's really clever. How could she think of twisting this woman's head with her mind then charged forward to attempt to pull it off.

But this woman, won't back down. She's still moving despite her head being twisted backwards. She jumped and twisted her body around midair as if to correct her head's position. All this while Jayoon was still holding her head.

The situation has shifted to the woman's favor when she rolled her body around Jayoon longitudinally. She attempts to break Ja Yoon backwards by putting pressure on her like a snake wrapped in it's prey. And she's almost there... I'm not comfortable sensing this.

Ja Yoon can't move. This other scarred woman. She's also an alpha. I can sense it. With Ja Yoon's back broken, the woman let go and let her fall helpless on the floor. This woman cracked her neck to heal completely and focused a restraining force on Ja Yoon. She can't move. The twin handed over a metal stick to this scarred woman. Like an ice pick. With Ja Yoon unable to move, she starts piercing Ja Yoon's eyes upward. As if to scoop her frontal lobes. What are you doing in there b*tch? Fight back.

----------------------------------------------

What will I do?  Sh*t. Let's be happy, she got what she deserved now. This Ja Yoon's been too cocky. So watching her die like this..... like this.....

... isn't pleasing me. At all.

I snapped back to my bodily senses. I'm trembling and sweating. Let's bite our nails to think.

Koo Ja Yoon. Why did you want to meet me here? I thought you were wanting to brag this achievement of yours by bringing me here. So why are so weak in there?

Let's get out of the car first. I need air as I'm feeling suffocated. Let's scream out this steam. Gah! I can't help but scratch and hit my head in the middle of this road. What will I do?

"I'll wait for you."

F*ck.

With all my might, I jumped forward to the facility's direction. I didn't care if the road concrete breaks with the force, all I know is I should get there soon.

I punched this scarred woman with all the strength I gained from the momentum of getting here. She was pushed wall by wall. Serves you right, motherf*cker.

But I can't fight this scarred woman head on. If Ja Yoon can't, then how could I even dare? I need to be quick and escape first.

I held Ja Yoon by my arms to carry. She was so light. Her right eye, red from blood. I haven't seen her this vulnerable before. I don't know what to feel. Or what I'm feeling now. I'm just.... so mad. I want to kill. Badly.

I glanced over the twin and saw her standing and grinning. She uttered, "Oh my. I didn't know monsters can form such a bond."

Don't irritate me you, f*cking c*nt. You, I can kill. The scarred woman is who I'm worried about. She's about to gain composure again. I can feel it. Let's flee for now.

Focus now. I saw a briefcase worth of those vials in front of the twin. I should grab those. Okay let's pull it in.

I reached out my hand and the briefcase came flying for me to catch. Now, let's get out of here. As far as can be.

As I'm fleeing, I realized I'm having difficulties in holding Ja Yoon and the briefcase at this speed. So I whispered, "Hey, hang on to me."

To my surprise, she pinned her head closer to my chest and wrapped her arms around my neck tightly.

I almost tripped. But I jumped back to my track and speed up. You're as peculiar as ever, Koo Ja Yoon.

‐---------------------------------------------

I woke up. Where am I? I'm in changed clothes. Who's bed is this?

I hear water trickling from the bathroom. Ah, yes. That guy. I knew he'd come in handy at some point.

He came out of the shower in his bath robe with wet hair. I can see his scarred left side of the face and deformed ear as he dries his hair with a towel. He noticed that I was looking at it. I guess, he got shy since he covered it with strands of his hair. That's an expression I haven't seen for long. The pathetic one.

"There's food there. Eat." he commanded me. He suddenly undressed his robe in a corner near the wardrobe and starts changing his clothes.

This pervert. I used my mind to lift his robe to cover him while he's doing his thing. I can see a smile forming in the corner of his mouth as he saw this.

"I just figured you'd want to see mine since I already saw yours." he said as he moved towards me and pointed at my changed clothes up and down. I realized that I'm also wiped clean.

This guy. You think you're clever. Don't forget that I'm "The Witch". So, I stood up and zipped his pants for him. It's obvious he was startled.

"Consider that as your reward for saving me. But try something like this again and I'll kill you." I warned him. Then proceeded to head over at the kitchen to eat.

"What's your plan?" he asked.

"Why are you interested?" I answered nonchalantly.

"Oh god. I'm not. Totally not interested. But f*ck, aren't you the one who dragged me into your mess?" he's annoyed.

"I didn't. I just told you where I was. You wanted to see me, right?" I told him.

He kept questioning me, "F*ck you, then why didn't you just kill me?"

I can't answer him. It would be unnecessary to answer him. Let's just say, "You seemed useful. And I was right, you were."

"I'm not your toy, Koo Ja Yoon. Don't treat me as if we're still children." he said.

You're not my toy. You're my kind. The only one left.
