Pathways of Fate (An Akatsuki no Yona fanfiction)

Tenth Scroll

Sorry for being inactive for almost 6 months.I kind of needed a little time to think on what will happen next and some motivation to write again. I also had to attend summer classes because I was absent for two months or so because of my accident last time.

Now without further ado, I present you guys chapter 10!
================================================================================================

"Hey, wake up now missy." 

"..."

"Hey, we're here now." 

"..."

A sigh escaped the man's lips before saying something along the lines of, "If you don't wake up right now, I'll let Jae-ha carry you like bride". 

And that woke me up in an instant. 

"H-Hak?" I squinted my eyes to get a better view of him just to see his usual smirk on his face. "Guess that woke you up." 

I ignored his comment and asked another question; "Where are the others Hak?" 

"They're already inside. C'mon, we're about to start." He offered his left hand and waited for me. It took me 5 seconds before actually grabbing it. 

I found out something new about Hak; He may not look like it but he knows how to treat a lady. I stepped outside the carriage and felt the cold night air against my face. It's nice.

We walked in silence; Hak being the usual poker face while I start to fidget around the clothes I'm wearing. I guess I'm not really ready for this whole 'Entertainment Business' of theirs  -with everything that happened and all.

"Are you nervous?" His sudden words brought me back to reality. "Uhm, a little bit I guess." 

He let out a small chuckle and opened the door. "Well you should toughen yourself up. Cause we're next." 

That really didn't boost my confidence even for a bit. 

*Sigh* If this didn't really concern me, I wouldn't even spare a thought about backing out. 

I took a deep breath before going to the small wooden platform in the center of the bar. Glancing around, I saw Yoon and Zeno with Yona in the backstage while Kija and Jae-ha are blending in the crowd that mostly consists of drunk rowdy men with a couple of women. I didn't see Shin-ah inside. 

As if knowing what I am thinking, Hak opened his mouth to speak. "Shin-ah's somewhere where no one can see him. We need a lookout outside to know if something happens." I nodded my head in understanding, he's sharp as always. 

"Don't worry, we got your back if something bad happens." Hak whispered before joining Jae-ha and Kija in a table -well, a table that mostly consists of women. "I'll be depending on you then", I replied with a small smile. Hak gave a pat on the back while the other two waved their hands at me. 

And that's all I need to swallow up my nervousness. 

Walking slowly, I finally arrived at the backstage -with the frown-face "pretty boy". Yoon immediately grabbed my hand and ushered me to my seat. "Why do you always arrive late? Constantly making me wait for you, jeez!" He fixed the stray hair on my face.

"Sorry about that. I haven't got much sleep lately." That made him stop and look at me. 

"Homesick?" 

I don't know. I don't really know. That's what I want to say. 

But instead I just looked at him and smiled without releasing any words.
