Hwayugi fanfic (Korean odyssey) : Guardian

Beautiful memories will wait for you part 1

"Son Oh Gong, I want to go to the book store."

Resting on a sofa, he slightly opens his eyes to her voice and saw her standing next to him.

"Book store? Not the library?"

"Yes."

She sits on the floor, next to his legs and leans her head onto his lap.

She's beautiful like a porcelain doll.

Her soft and long hair gently drapes onto his arms.

She.....seems to love sitting on the floor. This finding is intriguing to him..... this is cute.

"Then should I make you a big house that contains all the book in the world?"

"That's going to be a waste."

She smiles.

"Miss Jin Seon Mi, what would you like me to do for you."

He smiles at her.

"Son Oh Gong.......Please give me some money."

She pouts and says cutely

"I don't want~ why should I~ How much would you give me~~"

He props himself on onto his elbow and sings the song. His eyes deep yet gentle.

He reaches and pinches her soft cheek.

"You don't want me to come with you?"

She nods.

He sighs. "I'll send you there with my power. When you've had enough fun, give Oh Jong a call. I will ask him to take you back.......About the money, just pick a pearl from the floor."

The pearl......they are the mermaid's tears.

The pearls are priceless.

She walks around the house gleefully trying to get ready. He's about to fall asleep soon.

"I'm ready!~"

She jumps out, white shirt, a pair of jeans. Very casual. He lies on the sofa taking time to appreciate her beauty. She's become more beautiful......

Ever since she came back from the underworld, she's become more cheerful and bright.

Maybe, this is what she's truly like without bearing the fate of Samjang.

Although he still haven't figured out what her true power is.......

Is it because she now has one of his eyes?

Technically, he should take back his eyes and let her release her true power, but now.......it's not the time yet.

His power and body is still tired, he needs time to recover.

He can retrieve it afterward. Until then, his eye can protect her.

But her clothing........

He frowns.

"They are no good."

"Why not?" Her eyes widen in confusion

"Well......it's winter in the human world."

He replies, face full of smile.

.......................

15 minutes later

His eyes land on her again and his mind halted for a second.

Black long wind coat, paired with a white collared shirt.......just like what she used to wear.

They still have these clothes in their closet?

"These ones are no good either...."

"Hey.......I'm just going out to buy books."

"Wear mine."

".........."

5 minutes later.

"Is this better now?"

She's now wearing one of his black buttoned jacket.

"Remember what I said. Don't do anything dangerous and come back early. And, give me your hand."

She holds out her hand obediently.

He holds onto her hand----

"When you are in danger, call out my name anytime."

Her eyes glimmers and she nods to his words.

She turns into a ray of white smoke in his hand.

Now the house is quiet.

He sighs.

He's reluctant to let her leave or let anyone steal glances at her beauty.

He used to think that love is just one of the many emotions. Obviously, he's too naïve.

All he wants is to guard his precious treasure. The one and only Jin Seon Mi.
