Seven Deadly Sins

Goodbye

Thank ya'll for 300+ reads! I appreciate it!

"Where's my father?"

She directed this question to Lust, who shared uneasy glances with his other brothers before meeting her eyes.

Pride's horse was out, watching over them in case they tried anything funny. She didn't bother binding the four like she did with the first three, but she trusted them enough to not make any attempt of escape.

If they did, she'll have no choice but to chant her incantations again.

Lust sighed and nodded once to Sloth, who rolled his eyes in ire but agreed.

He made hand motions in the air, leaving specks of cloud blue in his wake. Once they were almost a hundred, he slammed them on the ground.

This opened up a portal and he fished Hana's father out the depths of the blue circle, reuniting father and daughter.

Her dad quickly went home, not able to stand being in the same place as the Seven Deadly Sins.

Hana was a different story though.

~|~

"Ego dimittere imperium meum," Hana read from Google Translate, and the black circles that surrounded Wrath, Pride, and Gluttony popped and were gone in a second.

The three felt their necks and wrists before shooting Hana a grateful smile.

The seven, along with Sang-won and Won-ho, were in the noodle shop with her. The shop was now clean after a few hand gestures from Sloth, who didn't like the mess of the place.

"Alright I've won, and I proved you wrong, Sloth," she said, looking at the Sin in question who merely smiled.

"I find it quite bizarre to feel this unbothered after being proven wrong," Sloth said, his cool blue eyes nothing but calm and content. "Good job, bee."

She shrugged, a small, pleased smile on her face. She wasn't one to brag, and Pride knew that very well.

Contemplating, she took a few shy steps toward Lust, who regarded her with a curious glint in his eyes and a faint smile.

"Soo," she began awkwardly, "mianhamnida I-"

He pulled her into a hug, kissing the top of her head and letting go just as fast with a good-natured wink.

Hana didn't even have time to react before she was scurrying toward the safety of Greed's open arms, red-faced and highly embarrassed.

The yellow-themed Sin was someone like an older brother to her, so she smiled when he ruffled her hair and told her to study seriously after this was all over.

The seven had admitted defeat but Hana didn't have the heart to just seal them away and go on with her life like nothing happened.

Chasing them, running after them, avoiding them, and just thinking about them took a chunk out of her summer vacation. This year was a whole lot different since she opened their box after her curiosity got the best of her, like always.

She felt a rollercoaster of emotions even with one particular Sin. She had felt intense anger, blinding loss, overwhelming fear, and many others that it didn't seem right to just brush them off like they were dust.
