Chapter 93: Chapter 93

"So, that's what happened." Gillian said after heard her story about the secret meeting in Ligaya's Island.

"But, it's still hard to believe. I mean, the black cloud came into your dream, warning me about the unknown punishment and grant you an ability to paint. It just--,"

Gillian shook his head, "I can only paint my hyung's faces. Other than that, it as bad as before. Perhaps it's a bliss for me. To keep them alive in my memories. I want to treasure it."

"Han Ki Jung." Her face getting worried when she notice a longing feeling in his eyes.

"Nah, forget it. Anyway, how's your relationship with that masked man? I still remember how he asked me to write your name in Hangul. Ah, it still scares me."

Cecilia shrugged, "Well, that's good."

"Eh? What happened?" He asked while raising his brows. "You look dissatisfied of something."

"Just in your imagination." She answered while her eyes fixed on the painting of the group's members.

They are smiling and holding hand to each other. Wearing black suit and look so classy yet cool.

Ki Jung as the youngest member was standing in the middle and look so innocent.

"It brings back the memories, isn't it?" Gillian said when he looks at the painting again.

She nodded, "If you can turn back the time, what will you do?"

"Hmm, I don't know. Living as Han Ki Jung is great. But, it doesn't mean that my life as Gillian was bad. Perhaps, because I will get marry with the woman I loved. Spending the time with her for eternally must be great. I want to meet her again in the next life."

Seeing his fairly blushed face and sparkling eyes, make Cecilia can't help but smile. Falling in love is a bliss. And have a chance to spending so much time with the loved ones is another level of happiness.

"You are changing. As if, the one I met in the bar was disappearing."

"Heh, you might be right. Now, I want to stop that aimless adventure. And how about you? What did you feel when you saw your former self? Is she doing okay?"

Once again, Cecilia nodded. "Better than I thought. But, sometime, I was thinking. What if I'm doing thing differently or if only I have courage to change my perspective, perhaps everything will be different."

"You regret for reborn to this life?"

"Not at all. But, that thought always crossing in my mind."

"Well, it can't help, then. Somehow, human's mind are weird."

"I couldn't agree more." Suddenly, Cecilia wants to meet with Max. To see his smile or even have a small chat with him. She wants to see his face as fast as possible.

"Then, I will clean up this place. Don't forget to come to my wedding party, okay? I will tell my wife to throw the bouquet for you."

She grinned." Thanks. But, I didn't get the invitation yet. Where will you get to marry?"

"Ah, is that so? Then, come to the Holy Temple before noon. You can ask Hugo for the detailed location."

He stopped talking for several second before continued, "And, Ji Eun, please be careful with your word. We never know what will happen next."

"I'm trying, Ki Jung. Thanks for the warning. Then, I should go — now. See you."

Gillian waving his hand and silently watch her departure. A faint smile escape from his lips, "Take care, Ji Eun."

Hugo was whistling when he walked out from the teacher room.

It must be his lucky day. Since he already asked Miss Sarah Bones, one of the painting teacher, to a date, and she agreed!

Finally, the spring has come to Hugo's life!

He wondered what will he buy for a gift. "A flower sound boring. Hmm, jewelry is a bit too much for a first date. Then, hmm, dress? Books? Or chocolate? Ah, it's harder than I thought."

But a second later, he startled when his surrounding was changing into something very familiar.

"MY! Why I come back here?" Hugo cried when he saw Max's face, who grinned widely.

It's one of his employee's ability. He can instantly call his selected minion within a limited area. In short, Max can summon his underling when they were in the same city.

"Welcome back, Hugo. So, your vacation is over, and you didn't wait to work again? How diligent you are!"

Hugo's eyes were teary, "Ah! Have a mercy, Boss! It's barely a half of an hour, and you already called me! You are, trully, an evil!"

"My, my. Please calm down, Hugo. I forgot something to do. Don't worry, I'll be back in an hour. Ciao!"

"Boss! I have a date tonight!" He shrieked.

But, poor him, Max already vanished, and he can't hear his complaint.

***

Max, who already in class corridor, spread his gaze to the surrounding and failed to meet Cecilia.

"Is she already home?"

Then he met someone familiar who bring several painting appliances. It's Gillian Bridgerton, a pervert author.

"O-oh, g-good afternoon!" He can hide his surprise when greet the masked man.

Max nodded slightly, "Hello. Did you meet Chi, I mean, Miss Lancia?"

He tilted his head, "I thought she went to the teacher room. It's a room on the left corner."

"Ah, okay then. Thanks."

Max waving his hand and walked quickly to the room. He can't wait to saw her face. Something keep bothering him and it's already getting on his nerves.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Bones. I'm looking forward for our next meeting. See you later, then."

He stopped his step when heard Cecilia's voice from the inside of the room.

The closer her step to the exit door, the more nervous he can be. Suddenly, Max forgot what he wants to say. His mind getting blank.

"Oh, Max? You are here? Looking for Hugo? Too bad, I didn't find him either." Cecilia said with a bright smile.

"Ah, uh. Well, you see. Hugo is back to the office. A moment ago, so, I get confused too. Well, that's why it was."

Cecilia blinked twice. Her brows narrowed because she barely understood what he is trying to say.

But, she nodded right away, "Oh, well, it can't help, then."

"Ah, it's okay. I mean, thank you for the boutonniere. It's so wonderful, and I'm surely, will use it for tomorrow's ball."

"Glad you like it. It's the first time I made it. So, your praise is to mean a lot to me." She's smiling widely.

A part of her was happy because of his presence. Something about him make her relieve.

The young man let out a heavy sigh before said, "Then, then, if you are… not busy, w-would you… like to go on a… d-date with me?
