THE CURSED ONE - THE BOY WHO CHALLENGE DESTINY

Resentment - 1

Youra intentionally missed her class this morning as she wanted to go to meet Jin in the Food Warehouse. She avoids the main route as she doesn’t want anyone saw she escaped from the class today, she will get punishment from her father if he knows this. Youra escaped from her class not only to hear Jin’s story but also because she was upset with her father about yesterday’s meeting with Mangkook family. She didn’t understand what so special in Mangkook family until her father asked her especially to accompany Hyul, the Mangkook family's successor, during their meeting. She really didn’t interested in Hyul at all, his cockiness makes Youra sick. She felt if her time accompanied Hyul yesterday was the most boring moment in her entire life as Hyul always talking a lot about his family's influence in the martial arts world and about his family fortune. Youra never likes someone who only dependent on their family status and doesn’t want to strive by themselves. She now has reached the Food Warehouse front yard, some of Jung Kook’s men looking at her as this is the first time for her to come here. She walks towards Wang, one of the workers to ask about Jin’s presence.

“Good day, Mister, do you know where Jin is?” Youra asked.

“Hello, Miss, Jin usually cleaning the Yellow Hall’s front yard around this time,” Wang answered, “I am sorry, are you Miss Youra?”

“Yes, Mister, I am Youra, nice to meet you, and thanks for the information.” Youra answered while she bows to Wang.

Wang gawked as he doesn’t expect that the daughter of the clan leader will bow in front of him who was nobody just to say thank you.

“Y…yes, Miss Youra, you are welcome.” Wang said awkwardly.

Youra immediately went out from that place and directly go to Yellow Hall’s front yard while Wang stands still and watch her till she has gone from his sight. Wang questioning what kind of business made Youra looked for Jin, he hoped Jin will not get into any trouble.

Youra finally found Jin in Yellow Hall’s front yard, he still cleaning the grass just as Wang said. Youra yells at him.

“Hey, Jin.” Youra said.

Jin looked towards the voice direction and he saw Youra walks towards him.

“Miss Youra, what are you doing here?” Jin asked.

“Of course I want to hear your story, what else.” Youra answered.

“But my works still not finished yet, Miss.” Jin said.

“Just left it for a moment, let’s find a comfortable place to talks.” Youra replied.

“But…” Jin answered.

Youra cut Jin’s words, “No excuses, Jin, come with me fast.” Youra forced Jin.

She pulled Jin’s hand to make him follow her. Jin can’t do anything but obeying Youra’s request, he left all his tools in the front yard. Youra sees a perfect place below a Mango Tree and she leads Jin to that place, a place that Jin and Jung Kook talked last evening, both of them sat on the long chair. Jin very happy to be able to get alone with Youra and he also feels a perfect atmosphere around them as the morning winds blow very smoothly with the blue sky supporting from above.

“So, what’s your story?” Youra started the conversations.

“Err… I still doubt if you will, believe me, Miss, I afraid if you will laugh at me if I tell you what has happened to me.” Jin said his concern.

“Hey, I have considered you as my friends, don’t get worried too much, just tell it or I will go now if you don’t want to speak.” Youra replied.

“No… no, please don’t go, Miss, okay I will tell you now.” Jin said as he doesn’t want his moment with Youra to end soonest.

Jin started to tells Youra the same story that he told to Jung Kook previously, but he still doesn't tell anyone about the prophecy and The Queen’s power because he feels if it is better if he kept it a secret as he still has some doubt to The Queen, he feels The Queen still hiding something.

Youra was truly shocked hearing Jin’s story as it was very uncommon and illogical, at first she almost laughed at Jin’s story but she immediately controls herself as she doesn’t want to hurt Jin’s feelings.

“So after you managed to escape from the kidnapper you lost in an unknown land and met with their Queen which was not a human and saw a lot of strange things include strange plants and animals in there and you came back from a very far distance in an instant only using a gem?” Youra asked.

Jin nodded his head.

"Wow, that was indeed a strange one, I didn't expect your story will be as strange as that, it's beyond my predictions and imaginations." Youra said.

Youra looks at Jin's face and she sees an innocent face, she doubts that Jin could tell any lies to her or to anyone.

“Err… Miss Youra, could you promised me something?” Jin suddenly asked.

“What kind of promise, Jin?” Youra answered.

“Err… I only told this story to you and Mr. Jung Kook, and Mr. Jung Kook said if this story was too illogical and no one would believe it. He said if I will become a laughing stock if I tell this to everyone so Mr. Jung Kook wanted me to keep this story. But I believed in you, Miss Youra.” Jin said.

“Umm… Yes, Jin, you can trust me,” Youra replied, “But your story truly illogical, I think everyone will say that you were dreaming. But I believe it since you were appeared in my room from nowhere, impossible for you to enter my room from the window as it was closed from inside, even more, impossible to enter from the front door as my mother was on standby full day to prepare my father guests.”

“Ah...I forgot if I have this for you, Miss Youra,” Jin said.

He took a strange flower and a stone from his pant, “This is the flower that I took from their garden and this is the stone that made me land inside your room, I wanted to give this to you yesterday when we met, but I didn’t have the chance.” Jin added while he gives the flower and the stone to Youra.

Youra looked at the flower and indeed it is a strange one, it was a purple flower with red and white color in the center, a kind of flower that she never saw before. She then looks at the stone, it’s like a regular stone but a little bit transparent.

“This flower actually glowing even when it was daylight, but it has stopped glows when I took it from the stem and it still not withered after almost 2 days.” Jin added his explanation.

Youra listening to Jin's words while she looked at the blue sky above, it always gives her calmness when she watches white clouds moved slowly in the blue sky.

“Yes, I believe in your story, Jin, It is very awesome to know that there were other worlds out there. I hope we can go there one time. Do you know, Jin, I always dreamed of adventure in this world one day?” Youra said.

Jin quietly listening to Youra’s words, in his heart he hoped that he has the chance to accompany Youra's adventure when the time has come someday in the future. But right now what he needs is to find the secret of Han Bi Hun's legacy to remove the curse from his body, but he doesn’t know how or where to start.

“And about your curse and your lost memories, I will try to ask my father or my mother, maybe they know something about it.” Youra said. She always wanted to help her friend if they were in trouble.

“Thank you, Miss Youra.” Jin replied.

Without expected by Jin and Youra, 3 students walk in their direction, they were Hyul, Eral, and Cha. They want to do something bad to Jin. Hyul was very delighted when he know that Jin was missing taken by the kidnapper, even he hoped that Jin gets killed by the kidnapper. Before Jin was missing, almost every day Hyul has monitored Jin from a distance as he wanted to make a plan to expel Jin from this sect, today when he heard that Jin has returned, he wanted to monitor him again. But instead of monitoring, he was enraged when he saw Youra sit down with Jin all alone with Youra seems enjoyed her moments with Jin. He then went back to Blue Hall to asked for his friends to supported him, now he comeback to Jin's place with two of his g**g to give Jin a lesson.

“Hey, weak boy, what are you doing in here? You supposed to know the place where you belong,” Eral said first, “You should sit on the ground, you don’t have the right to sit beside Miss Youra.”

“Don’t you have a job to do? There are so many toilets which you still not yet cleaned, what makes you sit and relaxing in here?” This time Cha said it intending to humiliate Jin.

Hyul keeps silent behind his friends, but his eyes looked at Jin sharply. He the successor of Mangkook’s family has to bring his parents and gave a lot of things just to be alone with Youra, but this weak kid manages to sit alone with Youra without doing anything, this reality makes Hyul very enraged.

“Hey, what are you guys doing here? Don’t bother us, just go away.” Youra said firmly.

“No, Miss Youra, they were correct, I still have a lot of works to do. I will go now.” Jin said.

He now stands up and wanted to go back to Yellow Hall’s front yard to finish his job there, when he started walking, Eral moves his foot upfront and it makes Jin’s tripped and fall to the ground. Youra who saw what Eral’s did get enraged.

“Hey, what are you doing?! Apologize to Jin now!” Youra said in rage.

“Why I need to apologize, Miss? This weakling falls on the ground by himself.” Eral said.

“What?! I saw you tripped Jin intentionally!” Youra answered.

“No… it’s my fault, Miss Youra, I tripped by myself, I’ll go back to my works now.” Jin said.

Jin doesn’t want to get into any trouble because of a simple matter like this, he stands up and walks away from Youra and Hyul’s g**g, he really wanted to immediately finish his abandoned task as he has another task awaited.
