Third Person's pov

It was as if a huge wave of mixed emotions was sent to wash Eunbi away and it was too big and powerful that she didn't feel anything anymore. She was numb, from head to toe, she felt numb. And weird enough, she wasn't even crying although she felt like bursting into tears. Nothing came, she was just staring at a random object.

"So I stole his power?" A dark chuckle came out from her lips. "All this time, you knew everything yet you never said anything? Did you really have to watch me stumble around trying to find my past?"

"Of course not, it was all the Dean's-"

"And now you're blaming her."

"Eunbi, we had to do it. If not, another war would have occurred because of you." Jungwoo's eyes had sincerity in it and Eunbi can see that he wasn't lying, but she was so stubborn that she decided to ignore it and just continue to connect the dots.

She finally found pieces to complete her puzzle.

"If you want, I can guide you to the-"

"No, I'll go there by myself."

"Are you sure?" Yerin took a step, voice full of concern.

"I've been lying all my life only to discover that the people I trust were also keeping bigger secrets than me, so why not?" And in a split of seconds, she disappeared in thin air, running towards the Dean's office as fast as she can. She cursed herself for not being able to teleport in the most important times like this.

But how could everyone keep this from her?

Eunbi stopped and panted heavily, it wasn't because she was tired of running, she was tired of holding these mixed emotions altogether. The door was already in front of her yet she couldn't even hold the doorknob. "Why the fuck am I hesitating?" She whispered to herself as she looked at her own hands.

"Eunbi-ssi!" A squeak came behind her. Eunbi turned around only to see a girl, probably a senior like her, running towards her direction. "My apologies, I didn't mean to shout at you but the Dean asked me not to let anyone in. She's having an important meeting with Taeil sunbaenim." A polite girl indeed, yet Eunbi didn't care.

"A meeting without calling for the council? How private can that be?" She asked. Not knowing what to say, the girl said nothing and stood still. "Anyway, it'll be fine. She knows I'm coming." Eunbi lied and it sounded so confident and true that the girl just nodded in reply and left with a bow.

Then Eunbi turned around and opened the door.

Both heads turned to her and Eunbi was sure that she saw the Dean's eyes turn purple. "We'll continue the discussion when I am done fixing something, you may leave." Taeil, knowing what was about to come because it was pretty obvious in her eyes that Eunbi finally knows everything.

"What were you discussing? Ah, were you talking about how long would you keep my own past from me?"

'Sorry, curse my sarcastic nature.' Eunbi thought.

"Eunbi, stop and have a seat. Taeil, just leave." It wasn't a request, it was a command yet Eunbi didn't care. Taeil could feel the tension around the room so he rapidly left the room.
