Chapter 53: The whole lot Follows Destiny
Splash.
The bath mirrored the ambiance of the lodge room.
Airi, immersing herself within the chilly water, submerged her head beneath the floor, misplaced in thought.
The nippiness penetrated deeply into each nook of her physique.
She hoped it will cool the warmth filling her head, however it solely made the heat extra pronounced.
How how did I find yourself saying such a factor in entrance of Hyo-sung?
Certainly, regardless of how a lot she tried to disregard actuality, time stored transferring ahead.
Even when she had spoken with out consciousness, had she fled instantly after saying these phrases, she might have pretended it by no means occurred.
But, by following him into this lodge, wasnt it as if she herself wished for it?
Did I actually do one thing like that?
The occasions she had seen by means of her prophecies have been turning into actuality.
Simply imagining it, she felt a shiver run by means of her physique that was submerged beneath the water.
As if getting ready for what was to return, as if the instincts of her femininity have been awakening.
Get up, Airi! Irrespective of how bewildered, you cant lose your self!
Attempting to disclaim such ideas, Airi bought out of the bath to compose herself.
Feeling a way of insurrection in opposition to her emotions, she actively left the toilet, became mild indoor garments within the altering room, and got here out to the lounge.
At that second, he, who had been out, returned.
Airi, I introduced some drinks
Ah, Hyo-sung.
Airi, drying her hair with a towel, referred to as his title.
She tried to cover her earlier confusion by steadying her voice, however for some motive, she felt his gaze stiffen when he confronted her.
Why are you want that?
Oh, no I purchased some drinks. Would you want to hitch me?
Ah, sure. Alcohol
It wasnt unusual to convey alcohol when spending time collectively.
Nevertheless, Airi couldnt assist however really feel a substantial quantity of wariness in direction of the bottle of alcohol he introduced.
In spite of everything, in accordance with the predetermined future with out variables, an incident would happen after they’d drink alcohol collectively.
Nicely, maybe juice can be a better option.
Certainly, beneath any circumstances, she shouldnt enable herself to lose her rationality to intoxication.
Ah, sure. You need juice?
Sure, Im not nice with alcohol In case you hand me the bottle, In poor health change it out for juice.
In that outfit?
Sure?
Hyo-sung requested, sounding alarmed.
At his phrases, Airi seemed down at herself, puzzled.
It was merely a snug sleeveless outfit for indoors; what might presumably be unsuitable with it?
Oh, no, In poor health go get it myself. I’ll.
Hyo-sung rapidly left the realm as if even glancing at her made him uncomfortable.
Afterward, Airi, left by herself, stared blankly on the spot he had checked out, then, abandoning her prepare of thought, slumped onto the mattress.
On condition that the vampires energy nonetheless lingered, he was additionally in a state the place he couldn’t make regular judgments, so she was making an informed guess.
Actually, hes not in his proper thoughts, however he hasnt fully misplaced his motive both.
Though the vampires intentions have been unclear, it couldnt be mentioned that his motive was completely gone, given the weak power of that energy.
At most, he was considerably intoxicated, both by alcohol or medication. Actions stemming from this state may be excessive and violent, however they doubtless originate from his personal reminiscences or instincts.
In different phrases, there was some provocation, however his request for such a relationship along with her means that a few of his real emotions have been concerned.
Hyo-sung thinks of me
The second the feeling of a hand positioned on her chest could possibly be vividly felt by means of the skinny cloth.
Actually, from the primary time he noticed me, he checked out me in that method
The second when the warmth, as soon as quelled by chilly water, started to accentuate once more with a pounding heartbeat.
Feeling her hearts loud beats turning into clearer, Airi bowed her reddened face, sinking into her ideas.
Its not that I dislike him.
There was no motive to dislike him.
Moderately, on this chaotic world filled with hazard, the mere incontrovertible fact that he harbored no unwell will in direction of her was motive sufficient to really feel favorably.
His demeanor, deeply etched in her thoughts, by no means pale away; even serious about him added to this ongoing turmoil inside her.
However is that this actually okay?
Such memory led to an unguarded affirmation that created this case, but it was nonetheless simply earlier than crossing the road.
If it could possibly be modified, now was the one probability. The longer term could possibly be modified, however the previous couldnt.
Maybe this once-in-a-lifetime alternative shouldn’t be left to circulate with out correct resolve.
Airi, I introduced the juice.
Ah, sure. Thanks.
Airi, having made her determination, acquired the bottle supplied by him, who had come at that second.
Afterward, the 2, sitting aspect by aspect on the mattress, targeted on ingesting their respective drinks for some time.
She had juice, and he had alcohol.
It appeared he had been ingesting earlier than assembly her, but there was no disarray in his gaze.
So, he knew he should additionally tread fastidiously when dealing with this case.
Then lets faux like what simply occurred didnt occur?
No, thats not doable.
Eh? What do you imply? Aaah!
Unexpectedly pushed, she fell onto the mattress.
She tried to withstand, however the considered doing so in opposition to the shadow looming over her shortly pale.
In spite of everything, overcoming the power of a person hardened by labor can be unattainable for her, particularly since she had misplaced her prophetic powers.
Hyo Mr. Hyo-sung, please settle down! Youre not this type of particular person!
Thats unattainable! Youve been overtly seducing me, and now you ask me to attend! Who’re you taking part in with?!
Seduction I didnt! I by no means had such ideas!
If being in such skinny garments and mendacity vulnerably on the mattress isnt seduction, then what’s?
What? However carrying such apparel is regular indoors!
Its provocative! It feels much more so as a result of you don’t have any self-awareness!!!
Eh, what?!
Regardless of being confronted with direct criticism, she couldnt have been conscious of it.
Because the successor of Haven and a fortune teller, she lived her life oblivious to how her true self appeared to others.
Having by no means introduced a person into her room earlier than, she was unaware of how her desire for snug indoor clothes may be perceived by others.
Please be self-aware. Airi, you might be a sexy girl, and I’m a person fighting restraint.
In distinction, the person earlier than her was clearly struggling together with his needs.
Irrespective of how robust his willpower, he discovered himself examined in such a provocatively created scenario.
Even his endurance, which had been sufficient to withstand a vampires seduction, was at its restrict, because the underlying fact that she didn’t reject him shattered the final barrier he had been holding onto at this second.
I-I dont learn about that.
So, regardless of how honest she was in talking and counting on his character, it was inevitable that this case would come up the second they have been alone on this room.
Even realizing this, Airi solely turned her gaze away from him, as if escaping actuality.
I dont know what to do when Im in the identical room with a person for the primary time like this
However its true that you simply dont dislike me, proper?
Her voice abruptly stopped in response to the query following her delicate resistance.
After holding her breath, she glanced at him after which quietly started transferring her head in direction of him.
Haaaa, aaah.
The quiet breaths from each of their mouths mingled, intensifying the warmth within the room.
As this heat enveloped the consequences of alcohol, making ones thoughts hazy, he finally spoke with resolve in his voice.
In poor health take accountability.
It was a baseless assertion.
A self-deprecating admission of his personal weak spot, merely a reckless utterance caught up in quick want.
No matter accountability you bear, Airi, no matter mission you will have, I’ll share it with you.
However he wouldnt shrink back from it, even when it was insufferable.
He knew what he was saying and was ready to bear all of the obligations that got here with it.
Mr. Hyo-sung
So dont depart.
As a result of he had at all times let go.
As a result of he had at all times despatched away those that gave him their hearts for being an excessive amount of to deal with.
Now, I dont need to let go of somebody who’s by my aspect.
Every time, the sensation of helplessness changed into a sting, resulting in a determined eager for alternative.
Irrespective of how brief the time they met, no matter what future lies forward.
In poor health give it some thought after seizing this chance that will by no means come once more.
Oh, nice ancestors.
However how might this be seen as a sin?
To criticize him for foolishly not reaching out whereas feeling want, ready for her reply, appeared unjust when she herself felt her coronary heart pounding on this second, arguably in a extra disgraceful method.
Although I bear a mission, it appears I’m, in any case, only a human being.
Certainly, she didn’t refuse.
The previous that had already handed couldn’t be modified, and the current was one thing that unfolded with such a previous as its root.
They have been too conscious of their emotions for one another to easily hand over because of the distance their mission demanded.
Airi?
Dont say something, please.
He, ready to stay in such a world, would at all times crave human connection.
And he or she, unable to overlook such a person, foresees a future the place she should perform a mission too burdensome to deal with alone.
Im not so shameless as to say to not do something after coming this far
Realizing this, she progressively loosened the grip that was wrapped round herself.
On the finish of it, she uncovered herself vulnerably and whispered,
So, dont say something proper now
Simply Lets deal with following our destinies.
The longer term, which had terrified her till now, was turning into a actuality by means of her personal willpower.
