You had never felt a wave of relief as strong as you did, right now.
"Tessa, you did it!"
Before you knew it, Lanhua was running towards you at top speed, jumping with her entire 5'8 body, before landing on top of you in a fit of laughs and sobs. JJ followed shortly after, along with your old roomies, Renee and Robin, then the rest of the girls.
"I can't believe you beat him!" Robin cried, as all seven girls squished you in the middle of a tearful, happy embrace.
"And you didn't even have to hurt him??" Renee marveled.
"And you forgave him??" JJ exclaimed in disbelief.
"I'm just so proud of you," Mya sniffed, eyes glittering with unshed tears. "I knew you could do it!"
"You did incredible, Tess." Changbin smiled at you, his tough exterior cracking, letting light shine through, just for a moment. He was one of the guys you were closest to, so seeing him care so much sent emotion pinging through you.
Seven of the guys, finally up off the floor, stood before you, smiling at you with such pride, your heart swelled even further. They move to stand next to their girls, all signs of malice gone from their eyes, only to be replaced with affection, and gratitude. They began checking on one another, making sure that they really were okay after such a harsh fight.
"I'm so proud of you, Tess." Your dad beamed down at you. As much as you had truly forgiven Yeonjun for everything that he'd done, the king was your true father. He had raised you, and made you into the person you were today. Honestly, everything you had done up to this point was thanks, in part, to him.
Extracting yourself from your friends' embraces, you ran straight into your dad's arms, tears of relief already sliding down your cheeks. You hadn't realized just how much the entire conflict had affected you, until Yeonjun and the light spirits had left.
