I turned to see the person, It was a guy who was quite muscular and handsome in a rugged way, with shaggy black hair that almost reached his shoulders, and solid black irises with prominent eye bags. He was wearing a black top, a pair of dirty, baggy gray jeans, And a black jacket tied around his waist.
"I asked you something?" He said. I was too busy thinking about where have I seen him and that's when it clicked he was the teacher of Vinjin.
"I am Tsukiko Yamashiro," I said looking at him
"What are you doing here kid?" he said looking at me while eating a sugar-coated fruit.
" Oh, I came out for fresh air?" I said unsure of myself
"You are telling that to yourself or me," he said walking to me
"Uh- you?" I said getting a bit nervous because I just got here, I don't even know why I am here.
"You look like a middle schooler," he said while analyzing me thoroughly
"I am," I said remembering what I read about him, I wasn't sure if he had yet met vinjin or not
"Why were you talking to yourself?" he asked me raising an eyebrow
"Oh I-I don't have anyone to talk to so I guess...." damn it why am I such a dim wit
"You're weird, you know," he said giving a sugar-coated strawberry on a stick
"Uh thanks," I said while taking a bit of that sweet he gave me
"For calling you weird?" he said now turning away and walking somewhere else
"N-No It's for this um, what is it called again?" I said following behind him
"Tanghalu" he replied while still walking towards I am guessing his hut.
We reached his hut soon and I could see pretty much all the members of the Cheonliang fam- Jaewoo Park, Hyungjae Lee, Taebong Lim, Wooseok Choi, and Mary Kim. But where was Vinjin Is he still not here yet?
"Woah you are so pretty" Jaewoo commented while staring at me. I saw Seongji Yuk sitting in the center while the four guys sat on each side of him. Mary was sitting on a rock and looked at me with a smile
"Uh I am Kr- I mean Tsukiko Yamashiro," I said introducing myself. Damn I am still not used to this name yet
"Oh I know you from school you are a bright student," Wooseok said with amazement
"Um well I try to be good in school as my future depends on it," I said nervously
"But what were you doing here?"Taebong asked with a bit of suspicion
"Did you also hear other classmates saying that a monster lives here?" Jaewoo said while looking at me to see if I was being honest or not
"Yeah that's precisely why I am here," I said trying to look confident in my answer, lying was something that was always very tricky for me.
"Makes sense why you are here," Hyungjae said with a small smile
"Do you know about the child god?" Jaewoo said
"I have heard of it but to me, it's just a scam that's all," I said knowing Seongji Himself was once a sacrifice. Hearing me say that Seongji's ears perked up and looked at me directly.
" Your hair is pretty I must say," Mary said while walking up to me.
"Huh," I was confused by what she meant. In the military, we were not allowed to keep too long hair and if we did it was always in a slick bun.
"Yes your hair is dyed very beautifully it suits you," Mary said sitting beside me.
" uh right...thanks" I said as I realized that I was no longer in my body and this belonged to someone else who was most likely dead.
Before we could further speak I heard Vinjin, My eyes went wide as I realized that this was the moment he met Seongji.
Past flashback
I was sitting in my room reading Lookism on my laptop. This was one of the things I did whenever I got holidays. I was 5 years old when I lost my mom and ever since then I was alone, not that I mind. But still, I want to experience once in my life what it feels like to have someone wait for you.
Someone who makes House feel like home maybe I am just too unfortunate to have such a fate. I closed my laptop and looked out of the window watching kids play with their parents. I burst out in tears knowing that I could never have that.
I wish to god that just once, can i not feel wanted and loved at least once. I put my life on the line every day to protect these smiles, Just so they can laugh we shed tears every day and still in the end I don't have anyone whom I can call family.
Back to Present
I jolted awake when I felt my phone vibrate, I looked around and saw that vinjin was sitting there and the other guys were talking to him. His bottom was covered by Seongji's Jacket. I realized my phone was still ringing so I moved a bit away from them and picked up the Phone.
"Tsuki my baby where are you?" A deep male voice spoke to me on the phone
"Your maid has already cooked food for you, where are you? Do you know how worried I was when she told me you were not there?" I realized it was Tsukiko's dad yet why tears were coming out of my eyes. I wanted this my whole life, Someone who cares for me and thinks about my well-being. I am grateful to have this second Chance
" I was out with..... a couple of friends Dad," I said while tears were streaming down my face but I made sure that my voice was not quivering.
