"He's so handsome! Oh my- the rumours were true!"

"I should introduce him to my daughter! She's currently majoring in music"

"Ladies, ladies. You're scaring him" Jin's mother warned while taking a sip of her tea. A 20 year old Jin, who was sitting next to her on the couch, looked bored out of his mind. The opposite of scared.

"My apologies, but even his powers are beautiful- I mean, even the hero council gave him permission to use it in your own home!" One of the women, who was attending at the 'tea party', exclaimed while gesturing to all the plant life around the room.

The greenery and plant life was all because of the plant manipulator who had gained his powers when he was very young.

His family owned land near mountains and large forests as they were environmentalists, wanting to take care of nature while also investing in the hero council and allowing them access to the private land for hero training.

The hero council trusted the family and were very grateful for their investments. Their generosity allowed the hero companies to have a place to train for natural disaster situations.

"My son isn't all looks! He has just graduated with a degree in bio-medicine" his mother boasted while patting Jin's knee.

The plant manipulator used all his energy to not roll his eyes at the conversation, having already heard last week with his mother's side of the family.

Jin was living a life that others could only dream of.

Billionaires as parents who had a penthouse on a cliff near the ocean.

Exotic pets that had been flown in from different countries.

Receiving the best education out there while going abroad to learn languages.

Girls lining up to date him and even hoping to be his destined partner.

It was the easy life that everyone wished they had.

But Jin was the exception.

He found his life boring. Everyday he could expect the expected and walked on the line that his parents have drawn for him already.

He wanted it to change.

Especially soon since his mother was already looking at wife candidates for him.

"Mother, I shall be heading to my room. I'm quite tired after my flight this morning" he excused himself without waiting for his mother to reply.

Embarrassed that her son had left without her permission and in front of her guests, she tried to hide her embarrassment with a fake smile.

"M-my son has just returned from a business trip with his father, he's so hardworking isn't he?" The guests quickly agreed and the room filled with appreciation of Jin's hard work once more.

Rolling his eyes, the brunette walked up the glass staircase before entering his room that had a large king sized bed and a balcony that had the view of the ocean.

Deciding that he needed fresh air to clear his mind, he opened the doors that lead to the balcony and walked out before leaning forward on the barrier.

Breathing in deeply, he felt the cold air against his face and fly through his hair.

"... I'm so jealous of you, wind" closing his eyes, he continued to lean against the barrier.

"Always pushing your way through, no matter what's in the way... but here you are, mocking me" after a few moments of silence, his phone interrupted his thoughts with its loud ringing sound, making the young male answer it after taking it out of his pocket.

"What?"

"Sir, we've found a place that can take you in" intrigued, Jin stood up straight while making sure that no one was around to listen in.

"Where?"

"In Germany, sir. But the thing is..."

"Spit it out, we don't have time to mess around" he said urgently, wanting to run away as quickly as possible.

"The place that is letting you in... is a boarding hero academy" a hero academy?

"Did you lie to them about me wanting to be a hero?"

"N-no sir! They only asked what powers you had and they were ecstatic at the thought of a plant manipulator joining their school. They said it's a rare power to posses, especially in Europe-"

"I'll go. Book my flight and pick me up tomorrow at 9am" and with that he ended the call. Smirking to himself, Jin looked back at the ocean and crossed his arms smugly.

"Shall I become a hero?...

...Sounds exciting"
