186 Jin deserves normal (1/2)

No, he didn't want to come here straight away. He was looking for Sung Seung Won. For some strange reasons, he can't find him anywhere. Then, he heard about the trouble in front of the council's building. So, he came here straight away.

And he slams against something hard. Klyn staggers backwards. He raises his head while covering his nose that hurts beyond words.

”You can't go.” Nami's brother smiles at him. ”She is avoiding you.”

The sound of crashing comes from the office. Then, another awkward crash follows. Klyn blinks his eyes. He already knows that Sung Nami is avoiding him. She hasn't visited home since he started camping in front of the Sung mansion. ”Are you Sung Seung Won?”

”No.” Sung Seung Jin points at the exit. ”Leave.”

”Where is Sung Seung Won?” Klyn doesn't move from the spot. ”I have something to talk about…”

”I know what you want to talk about.” Sung Seung Jin says, ”He is helping the angels near Hell Gate.”

”Thank you.” Klyn glances at the office door again. ”I will come back after I have a talk with Sung Seung Won.”

”If you remain alive.” Sung Seung Jin gives him a friendly smile. ”Do you think that Sung Seung Won will let you live after he sees you?”

”I-I…” Klyn falters, ”I still have to confront him.”

”That's brave of you.”

”Thank you.”

”But I still hate you though.” Sung Seung Jin pats his back. ”Klyn, I don't care if you are her mate or not. If I think that you aren't right for my sister, it means that you aren't right for her. Unless you change my mind, you aren't allowed to be close to her.”

Klyn swallows. ”I understand.”

”No, I don't think that you understand.” Sung Seung Jin slaps his head. Hard. ”All I need is enchanted wood. It won't be hard to find a small piece of enchanted wood. Well, vampire hunters are dead. But there are some still… well, you know. I can find it. The fae gate will be fixed soon. I heard some enchanted woods grow there.”

”...”

”Go now.” Sung Seung Jin pushes his back lightly. ”See Seung Won. If he starts crying again, we will rip your throat out.”

”I won't make him cry.” Klyn promises, ”I will help him get over his heartache.”

”Good for you.” Sung Seung Jin waves his hand. ”Go away. My sister has a lot of work to do. Don't distract her.”

Klyn hasn't seen Nami for a long time. Well, it has been days -- not months. But he misses her. However, she won't see him. Sighing, he walks away with his head lowered, feeling depressed while resisting the urge to dash into the office and ask her to love him back. Rather, he wants to beg her. But some things have to wait.

He will find Sung Seung Won and get his forgiveness first.

Noah ceases to run when he hears a small sound. ”Wait, Brother Izo.”

”Jin.” Noah nods his head. ”He's around here.”

Or he's been here.

”I have searched for him here before.” Izo frowns, walking in the direction of the scent. ”Why didn't I notice?”

”He must have come here after you left.” Noah signals him to be quiet. He whispers cautiously, ”We can't scare him away.”

The scent is coming from a swamp. Noah and Izo make their way toward it. They enter the swamp while wondering if Jin is truly in there.

”Do you think that he fell in there?” Izo isn't convinced. ”He is a vampire.”

”A sick vampire.” Noah tells him, ”If he was fine, he wouldn't be running away from us.”

”You also ran.” Izo mutters, ”Klyn too. I won't be surprised if all of us start running in different directions.”

Noah purses his lips. Is he going to hear this for the rest of his eternity? Brother Izo hasn't said anything about his feelings. It's not like he was expecting anything, but… He's too cool about it.

He narrows his eyes on the bubbles at the centre. If his guess is correct, Jin is in there. He takes another step toward the centre.

”Don't go further.” Izo grasps his arm. ”There's a demon.”

”Swamp fairy?” Noah raises his brow.

”No, it's a demon.” Izo exhales, ”A mutated one. Not a converted vampire for sure. They should have gone extinct though.”

”All demons should be in Hell,” Noah grumbles, annoyed.

”Demons born in our world are different from the one from hell. The hell-demons are half-mortal or immortal.” Izo points at the centre. ”This one is a pesky thing that refuses to die easily.”
