Second week, Shuji's attitude towards Lixue changed after they slept together in his bedroom.
“Good morning, Lixue.” Shuji smiled when he saw her in the living room.
"Good morning!" Lixue greeted without looking at Shuji.
"Aren't you going to the shoot?" Shuji asked as he placed it on the sofa as soon as he got close.
"I'm going to the shoot later, and you? By the way, contact your girlfriend, you've been ignoring her for a week." Lixue commented as she turned to Shuji.
"Let's leave together, Lixue lunch time I'm leaving now for the board meeting, I'll just insert the Liao Firm meeting," Shuji answered, he looked away and changed the topic.
"You didn't answer what I told you," Lixue said and just watched the news.
"I will later," Shuji said and he also watched TV.
"What are you planning and you're not contacting your girlfriend? I thought you loved her?" Lixue asked without looking at the person next to her.
"So far? Nothing yet but I've been thinking about what you told me on the island that I should give a seed to the woman who will bear a child and save the whole world you know I didn't believe it when you first said it because I wouldn't believe it right away if nothing will happen when you showed me your true form as an angel my perspective changed." Shuji answered as he grabbed Lixue's hand and she moved his hand away.
last week, Shuji talked to Drick and G.M about his thoughts.
"Shuji, why do you want to talk to me?" Drick asked to the living room when he saw Shuji sitting.
"I just want a drink, is it bad?" Shuji said holding out the glass of wine.
"Aren't you busy with your two companies?" Drick asked and took the glass that was handed to him.
"I have three days off today," Shuji replied as he took a sip of wine.
"Don't go to the girlfriend's condo," Drick said as he turned the glass he was holding.
"I'll admit to you that my relationship with her is changing," Shuji said that he must have blurted out his thoughts if he said it on purpose.
"Why does it change?" Drick said he was already drinking wine.
"Someone told me that there is a woman destined for me and that I must give her a seed or we will have children, in case that woman is not Erika, it makes me think that I love her but when I choose her something bad will happen in our world and Leatrice—Lixue, I've been falling in love with her since-" Shuji interrupted to say he just poured wine again.
"From?" Drick asked, he wanted to know what Shuji didn't continue to say.
"I don't care that the way I look at him suddenly changed, you know that feeling when you come home and then you see him, you're bringing home a wife," Shuji replied, and Drick immediately fell silent.
"Are you referring to three people in what you are saying? Are you being made to choose by the person who told you that you gave up on loving your girlfriend? You are choosing now if Lixue and the one who will give you a child are the ones you choose." Drick answered as he poured some wine.
"I haven't given up on my love for my girlfriend, I love her, I just really changed what I used to do in our relationship except I'm busy, I prefer talking to Lixue than her," Shuji answered, he just sighed and drank some wine.
"My love? Your feelings for Lixue are falling and you are thinking about the one who told you about the woman you will give a child to and not your girlfriend—your heart is not three, for you to love three women, you choose which one of them you must love and ignore what you say about the seed/seedling." Drick said he also went.
"-" Shuji interrupted when Drick spoke again.
"Where you are comfortable knowing that she is your forever, that's where you are, even if you love someone, you can't live with her and the magic of your love for her is gone or break up your current girlfriend, you don't hurt anyone when you find out she is no longer your priority," Drick said as he and Shuji reached for the wine they were holding.
"You're quiet," G.M commented to Shuji when he saw him smoking on the rooftop of the company after the meeting.
"You say, you understand Tagalog you just don't know how to speak, do you?" Shuji said thinking about what he said.
"I still don't understand everything," G.M said.
"Do you know the Lixue family is an angel?" Shuji asked hesitantly while smoking a cigarette.
"Yes, I know that her family is not ordinary, her bloodline is an angel, and also her mother, she is a mortal," G.M answered, Shuji suddenly became silent, he just looked at the person next to him.
When Shuji was about to speak, G.M. immediately intervened.
"How do I know, I'm also an angel, I'm an angel, just like her and her father as well as her deceased ancestors," G.M. replied and Shuji became more silent from what he said to him.
"You also know about the 'seedling'?" Shuji asked as he threw the cigarette butt into the trash.
"Yes, I know I know your destiny has changed because she kissed you," G.M said making Shuji silent.
Shuji thinks about what G.M told him she kissed you.
"My destiny changed because Lixue kissed me?" Shuji asked he just repeated what he said.
"Yes, if she has not mentioned who you are going to give your seed to, she lets you decide, we are just going to sacrifice our lives for the salvation of the world," G.M. answered.
"You will sacrifice your life for the salvation of the world if what is destined does not happen?" Shuji asked G.M.
"Yes, before our world is destroyed by evil or demons, the unborn child must be born earlier for the premise of spreading the evil/demons in the world, and saved by the savior angel," G.M replied to Shuji because he could think properly.
"Who is the woman I will give a seed to and bear a child who will save the world?" Shuji asked G.M who was suddenly silent at the question.
"Ask her, and she knows who you will give your seed to," G.M answered, Shuji looked at him, surprised by what he heard.
"Do you speak Tagalog?" Shuji asked.
"A little bit, but not fluent," G.M. answered.
"If I don't choose my girlfriend I can save people and if I don't choose what father says evil will spread? If I choose Lixue and give her the seedling will evil still spread?" Shuji said.
No one answered Shuji and Lixue's bodyguard, they turned to Drick who was snoring next to them, he sat next to Shuji just now.
"If I don't choose my girlfriend I can save people and if I don't choose what father says evil will spread? If I choose Lixue and give her the seedling will evil still spread?" Shuji said thumbs up changed suddenly thumbs down.
"Oh?" Shuji said he was confused by G.M.'s gesture. to him.
"You'll get angry and hurt her just in case," Lixue said as she looked at the person next to her.
"If it's in exchange for the salvation of the world from evil, that's okay with me," Shuji replied.
"You love her, can you turn your love to a woman who will carry a baby?" Lixue asked, she just stared at Shuji.
"Who will bring the baby that will save the world?" Shuji asked bluntly as he stared into Lixue's eyes.
"It's me," Lixue replied seriously, Shuji was surprised to find out that he would stare more if she wasn't cheating on him.
Shuji looked away when Lixue approached his face.
"I'm not lying to you, Shuji even if you don't know yet, if you ask directly, I'll tell you without hesitation, decide what you plan to do with your relationship with Erika, I'll wait until the end of this month," Lixue said softly as she walked away and walked up the stairs to her room.
Shuji's gaze followed her before, he could breathe properly.
"She and the woman I will give a seed to give birth to a baby that will save the world is the ONE." Shuji took a deep breath and said to himself and stood up.
A few hours later, Shuji left Sakura Modeling Agency left Lixue there, and decided to talk to his girlfriend before he went to work.
"Darling, how are you? I missed you." Erika said when she opened the door.
"I'm okay, and you?" Shuji asked his girlfriend as he entered her condo.
"I'm sad because I can't be with you anymore and talk to you, you're busy with your work did you miss me and you're here?" Erika smiled at her boyfriend as she hugged him and he suddenly walked away.
"We don't have to be together all the time or say hello by text and call, I'm busy and I can't even touch my cellphone I just had time today, I'll take you to Sakura." Shuji knows his girlfriend.
"We've done it before, Darling," Erika answered, wondering what her boyfriend was doing.
"We did something different today, Erika, I'm too busy, I want space in our relationship," Shuji answered directly to his girlfriend, he took a deep breath.
"There is someone else?—Shuji, there is someone else?" Erika shouted at her boyfriend, she just cried in front of him.
"No one else, Erika, I've been suffocating for a long time with the love have for me, I love you, but you're suffocating me too much, I can't breathe anymore," Shuji said he brought out everything he had hidden from their three year relationship over.
"If there is no—other—why will you break up, you will break up with me when—we just met—" Erika shouted as she hit her boyfriend's chest.
"Give me space if we are meant for each other, Erika, we will wait for each other, but if not and one of us has already fallen in love with someone else, fall in love with a man who deserves you," Shuji answered and helped her stand up as she sat on the floor.
Shuji kissed his girlfriend on the lips and made the right decision. The 'magic of love' he feels with his girlfriend is gone. Something happened to them that gave him the last chance for his girlfriend to be with him, Shuji just used protection.
'I'm sorry, and Goodbye!' Shuji said in his mind before he left Erika on the bed who was sleeping soundly and left her condo to go to work.
