FALLEN STAR~ KHUN X OC: BOOK 2 [COMPLETE]

eight

As I promised, I will publish another chapter because today's the release of the final episode.

Oh my, I don't know what to feel about the new ep. I started crying after Rak started screaming. BUT JUE VIOLE GRACE GDRDHXFJKZCKFDS SEASON 2 PLEASE.

Also, listen to the song. It's about Khun's feelings for Variiya

Floor 12
Khun's PoV

I lost sight of her from my Lighthouse. I sighed and leaned back on my chair, crossing my arms. Where does she go nearly every day, only to come back exhausted?

Maybe she's going out with someone--

No, she's not the type of person to do that. I chided myself for thinking such things. I'm still scouting more members to join the team. Thankfully, Ran and Novick we're bearable most of the time. They'd have their constant fights and tantrums to see who's the best. I'm surprised that Ran could stand the Spear Bearer and put up with all of their competitions. V.V. joins them from time to time, always coming out as the victor.

Every time she does though, it seems she's doing something new. I see her play out new techniques, her shinsu quality is now different. Back then, it was just a gray orb, now, it was smaller and harder to see.

So she's been training most likely. But the fact that V.V.'s going down to the 11th Floor every time means she's training with someone. The question now is who?

What's their relationship, though? Nagged the tiny voice in the back of my head. I pinched the bridge of my nose and cringed. Why am I thinking about that? If she has a relationship it's none of my concerns, I need to respect her decisions and--

A knock from the entrance interrupted my thoughts. Novick went ahead to check who it was, but I didn't bother to look up from my work.

"Variiya!" Shouted the Spear Bearer from the entrance, and I immediately snapped my head up to look at what's going on. The said girl was now in Novick's arms, her head was limp and was bandaged. Her usually wide and bright purple eyes were closed. Taking a second to look at her face, I immediately instructed Novick to bring her back to her room and I turned to see the person who brought her here.

He was a middle-aged looking man with swept-down and shiny brown hair. His eyes were weary brown as well, but his angular physique tells me that he's a veteran when fighting. He was wearing light armor of gray and silver, a violet scarf on his neck was slightly charred. For some reason, the description of the man seemed familiar to me.

I summoned a small dagger and lunged at the man, pressing the knife firmly at his neck. "What did you do to her?" I snarled.

The man laughed nervously and tried to push the knife away. "I can't explain if you'll slit my throat." I tried to calm myself down and I slowly lowered my weapon, but I was still glaring daggers at him. "May I go inside?" He asked.

I huffed and motioned for him to come, glaring at every step he took. As I was about to tell him to sit, he asked, "Also, may I go see Variiya?"

"No," I immediately said. He was the one who most probably hurt her.

He gave me a wry smile. "Look, kid, I'm sorry if you're all worried for your girlfriend, etcetera, etcetera, and that you think I did this to her, well you're in luck because I'm here to help her."

My face flushed at the 'girlfriend' part.

The man's heels clicked as he briskly followed the same path Novick took to V.V.'s room. "Hey!" I protested but was simply brushed off and he judo-flipped me.
