Secrets

Chapter 18: Blood for blood

Hwa Sung's POV

I couldn't pay attention. All lessons, all day, I felt like an empty shell. Why, oh why! Where could that a**hole be? He couldn't have disappeared into thin air. Yet that's what all the reports say.

Their job was relatively simple: Keep your eye on one person. Don't make a move and yet they failed. D*mn weaklings. They aren't even able to do this. I don't know why I pay them. Now where could a**hole #1 be? I think and think, but he wasn't in any of the places I thought of. Seems like I'll have to pull some strings. I can't believe I'm asking Alessio for help. Again. I'm beginning to owe this guy a lot more than I would like to.

Presently, I'm sitting with the boys. The twins are up to their usual idiocy, Man Bok not part-taking and Il Jung looking at me with worried eyes. I smile at him to reassure him, but I'm sure even a bat could tell it's fake. I give up on pretending and just let myself wallow in all the negative emotions. I hear gasps from those around me. I know they can feel my cold aura and killing intent but this is what I've always done this. Ever since I was nine. Wallow and don't think of anything. Keep everything bottled up inside. I open my eyes. Just as I suspected. The twins glare at me, knowing exactly what I'm doing: Pushing everyone else out.

Il Jung is looking at me in shock. He probably didn't think I could accumulate this amount of negative energy. He's probably wondering what's making me like this. Il Jung. He was always one to care.

Man Bok is just looking at me weirdly. Just like how everyone is supposed to. Just like how everyone does. A sigh escapes my lips. This feels comfortable.

"Can you feel that? "

"Ne, it's like -20 degrees here"

I hear all the comments from everyone else. It's good they feel this, this buildup. I could feel eyes burning into me. Knowing it couldn't be the twins, I shift my gaze to meet Nam Young's. Ah geez!

"I know you are doing this, witch. Stop it, whatever it is"

Knowing that it is affecting her, I almost smile. I think back to the scene. So neat. So well done I wouldn't have realized that they were truly gone. The shock in the eyes of nae bumo( my parents). It hurts. It hurts so bad. I open my eyes. That's it. I'll find him, if it's the last thing I do. Even if I have to lose myself. Even if I have to lose all this.................

I stand up abruptly and leave. I don't care. He must pay.
