Maehwa Tree- Tower of god/TOG

¹⁸Final Goodbye

After the regulars had woken up, Endorsi and Bam were going out on a date. With Khun, Rak, Yihwa, prince and a certain worried Noona following them.

"You guys are spying on Bam? How pathetic."

"Like your any better?" Ianna retorted.

"Well good luck then. I'm leaving." Khun said as he closed his laptop and turned away. A few seconds later. Ianna also turned to the others "sorry guys, I have to go prepare for our next floor. See ya!"

"BYE BYE RED TURTLE!"

ˏ⸉ˋ‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̽‿̩͙'⸊ˎ

A month has passed and in the distance a few regulars were talking about the hidden floor.

"I've heard that the most beautiful regular in the tower resides there."

"Hmm... that might be true. But I wonder what else would be there."

"But seriously. Have you heard the rumour where the greatest treasures can be found there?"

As the red haired guide walked past them, her thoughts strayed to her old friends.
The hidden floor. I have to get there to retrieve my fourth commandment... but my third... it should be on the floor of death. I wonder how it's been. Even though I stayed on that floor before I returned to the tower, I couldn't leave the premises of the caves. But the hidden floor huh... would i get to meet the data of Arie and Eduan? Or maybe...

Her steps stopped as she thought about him. She had wandered in the resort and came upon wangnan's room. Her eyes darted here and there and found a familiar ring on his bedside. I'm not mistaken... that's,

"Ms Ianna?" Wangnan had appeared behind her.

"Huh? Sorry... I was just wandering around."

"Oh. Is something interesting?" He asked.

"...yeah, where'd you get this ring?"

As Wangnan took it and wore it. He replied
"I've had it since I was a child. My caretaker told me it was a symbol of someone important to me... I never figured out who it belonged to though, do you know anything about it?"

Silence dawned upon the two but Ianna finally spoke up "No... not anymore."

As she turned to leave her mind wandered to a past confession.

"Hwaya. Your the most precious thing to me... my greatest companion and advisor."

As the blonde slipped a red ring on her hand, the girls eyes were almost filled with tears. From that day on, She treasured the ring on her index finger like her heart. A fragile thing that almost could break at the slightest poke.

But that heart broke the moment her love belonged to someone else and her last breath was taken by the person who proposed.

Ianna almost wanted to cry and break down, but she couldn't, because that would mean she still held feelings for a certain somebody and she didn't. So she threw away the last thing that tied her bond to him. As she ran to her drawers, she took out a crystal red flower that was wilted to black. As she ran outside to the corridor that faced the sky. She broke it in two and threw it as far as she could.

She watched as the crystal petals broke apart and floated to the sea under them. Somehow, she felt relived as she watched those red dried petals go down. Like a burden had finally lifted. And as they disappeared from her sight, her face had a smile.

"Hey, We have to get to the meeting." Khun had appeared next to her.

"Just a moment."

Khun questioned her silently but continued observing her.

"With this, I can finally say. I don't know you anymore, and I have no such feelings for you. I will drag you down from that throne, and make you pay."

As she finished her words, she turned to Khun
"Let's go. I'm done saying my final goodbye to him."

Khun was still questioned who him was but buried it as he followed Ianna to the meeting room.

ˏ⸉ˋ‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̽‿̩͙'⸊ˎ

"Cant believe our leader was the one who was late." Akraptor smirked and said.

"Hey don't blame me, this girl right here doesn't check her time." Khun retorted.

"That's enough. Let's begin discussing about our itinerary." Hwaryun interrupted them with a stern look as Ianna walked behind her with a bored look on her face.

"In a year, we'll be boarding the hell train. But that doesn't mean it's the only floor you can board on. Starting from the 35th floor, the train stops on every floor, up to every floor. And regulars can get on and off as they please." Hwaryun exclaimed, Ianna continued.

"Of course, to board the train. You must have an express ticket. And the ticket can't be bought by normal means."

Mumbles and grunts of here we go again.... Or does this tower have a fetish for all things hard or what?

"You have to steal them. And that's why. We're separating." Ianna finished.

Shouts and yells of refusal were heard but of course the two red heads didn't even flinch.

Hwaryun picked up on where her sister left off.
"Khun you lead a team. Baam and The croc will come with me. We'll meet up at the first stop of the Hell Train. Train City."

"What about Ianna?" Yihwa asked.

"I'll be meeting you guys on the floor of death. My birthplace. I already have a ticket and I'll definitely keep it safe." Ianna smiled at her fellow companions.

"See you all in a year."
