The Love That Remains

"This is marvellous . " Bae Jaemin pokes the guy lying flat on the ground in an isolated alley . "This country is wonderful . "

Sung Jun glances at Kyubok"s awkwardly bent hand . He notices that the sword is gone . "Did he meet a tier three demon here?"

"I don"t think so," Bae Jaemin replies cheerfully . He clicks pictures of Kyubok from different angles using his phone . "See, there are no residues of negative energy here . "

Sung Jun looks around to see the signs of demons . He can"t tell much . He regrets somewhat that he didn"t focus on learning the art of shamanism . He glances at two boys . Bae Jaemin is taking a selfie with unconscious Kyubok . He reads w.a.n.g Mei"s text again .

[ Aisa in trouble . . . Alley, coffee shop, H high school . ]

There has been no other text or call from her .

He has some idea what may have happened in this alley .

"Kyubok, the first ranked ghost hunter of our academy, is reduced to this state . He even lost his family heirloom . " Someone is happy at other"s misfortune . "What goes around, comes around . "

Kyubok wants to gain the highest points in the council by hunting the ghosts and demons . While Kyubok is hardworking and upright, Jaemin is easy going and humorous . Jaemin doesn"t want status or fame . He works in the IT department of the council and he is happy and content with the desk job . Their personalities are like oil and water .

"Jae, take him home . " He has some questions . He leaves the grinning Bae Jaemin with unconscious Kyubok .

"Hey, where are you going?" Jaemin stands up quickly . "It"s not safe . If something can harm Kyubok, it can also hurt you . What if this thing is targeting you?"

When they cease running, w.a.n.g Mei realises that they have come to H high school . Because it"s off today, the gates are locked . The atmosphere around the school is quiet and heavy . Fang Aisa let go of w.a.n.g Mei"s hand and walks away .

"Aisa, I am sorry . " She runs to Fang Aisa . Without any delay, she tells her everything . Fang Aisa"s face is impa.s.sive . There is a strange light in her eyes . w.a.n.g Mei is stunned to see her like that .

"w.a.n.g Mei, thank you for proving me wrong . " Fang Aisa breaks her silence after a long moment and laughs loudly .

"What do you mean?" w.a.n.g Mei is truly afraid . This is not how she imagined it . She can take her beating, but she has no idea what to do now . Fang Aisa is laughing, but her eyes are full of anger and loathing .

"I should have known . That old man is good at manipulation . He will go to any extent to get what he wants . "

"Do you forgive me?" w.a.n.g Mei asks shakily .

"It"s not your fault . " Fang Aisa holds w.a.n.g Mei"s hands and smiles brightly . "You were just a fool like me . "

"No, you are not a fool . " In w.a.n.g Mei"s eyes, Fang Aisa is the smartest person on earth .

Fang Aisa grins at w.a.n.g Mei . "You are really naive . You should have come to me first . If you get easily manipulated like this, how will you become the next head of the w.a.n.g family?"

w.a.n.g Mei shrugs . "You are there, aren"t you? I don"t have to use my brain . I am stronger than you are . Plus, my fists can break any bone . "

"What would you have done if Sung Jun didn"t talk to you?" Fang Aisa is smiling, but her smile isn"t meeting her eyes . w.a.n.g Mei sees darkness shrouding her figure . It is barely a glimpse . w.a.n.g Mei gapes at her . Is she seeing things?

"I . . . " She scratches her head and ignores it . "Aisa, your life is important . I want you to live a long and happy life . What if the evil thing finds you? Grandmother told me that your life is in danger because you can see ghosts now . "

"If the evil comes, let it come . " Fang Aisa gazes the sky . "w.a.n.g Mei, I have decided to find out about my mother . I will also teach that them a lesson . I will find that evil thing before it finds me . "

w.a.n.g Mei quietly observes Fang Aisa . Fang Aisa is not the same person . She can"t understand the swirling emotions in her eyes .

w.a.n.g Mei ignores the soggy feeling in her heart and declares, "If you want to do that, you have me with you . "

Fang Aisa shrugs and glances at the locked gate of H high school . w.a.n.g Mei"s phone starts ringing . She picks up the call .

"We are near the H high school . "

"We are okay . Aisa and I have taken care of the weirdo with a sword . "

"Yes, he was wearing a black coat . I took his sword . "

"We will wait for you here . "

w.a.n.g Mei ends the call and looks up . She discovers that Fang Aisa is already gone .This is marvellous . Bae Jaemin pokes the guy lying flat on the ground in an isolated alley .
