Since that kiss, Yoojung and Ni-ki hadn't spoken.
When Yoojung returned to Gyuri and Zaire, they asked where Ni-ki was. "He had to go somewhere," she replied, still stunned.
The tension hung heavy between her and Ni-ki, creating a barrier after their unexpected encounter. Each day dragged on, filled with awkward silences and fleeting glances.
Ni-ki retreated into solitude, returning to the uncomfortable window sill outside Yoojung's home. The memory of their kiss haunted him, reminding him of the boundaries he had crossed.
Yoojung buried her emotions under a façade of indifference, grappling with the vulnerability she had shown. They tiptoed around each other, avoiding confrontation, both longing for resolution yet unable to bridge the growing chasm.
As Yoojung and Gyuri strolled through the bustling streets, Yoojung's distant look didn't go unnoticed.
"Are you okay, Yoojung? You've been off lately," Gyuri asked gently.
Yoojung forced a smile. "I'm fine. Just lost in thought."
Gyuri nodded but remained concerned. "If something's bothering you, let me know, okay?" Yoojung nodded, grateful but hurt that Gyuri might soon forget her existence.
Lost in her thoughts, Yoojung recalled the intensity of her moment with Ni-ki. The memory lingered, stirring conflicting emotions as she felt her life heading toward an inevitable collision.
Suddenly, the ground trembled beneath them, sending shockwaves of fear through the crowded streets. Yoojung's heart raced as the chaos unfolded.
"What's happening?" Gyuri cried, barely audible over the panic.
Yoojung sensed it was no ordinary earthquake but a manifestation of the turmoil within her—a Hybrid's curse.
Ni-ki's cold words echoed in her mind: "Just by existing, misfortune is coming."
The realization weighed heavily on her. As they navigated the chaos, the roar of the tornado drowned out everything else. Suddenly, Yoojung spotted a speeding car.
Her instincts kicked in, and she dove out of the way, narrowly escaping.
"Are you okay?" Gyuri asked, rushing to her side.
Yoojung nodded, shaken but unharmed.
From afar, Ni-ki watched the chaos unfold, worry for Yoojung consuming him. Each tremor felt like a dagger to his heart, and he longed to be by her side.
As the disaster subsided, acts of kindness emerged amidst the chaos. People came together, offering support to those in need.
Yoojung's resolve to sacrifice herself for the greater good only strengthened. Haunted by the chaos her existence had caused, she felt compelled to find a solution, even if it meant sacrificing herself.
Driven by duty and the desire to make amends, Yoojung prepared to confront her destiny.
As Ni-ki observed the resilience of the Humans around him, he witnessed their spirit shining through the destruction. Their courage and compassion only deepened his appreciation for them.
