Mysterious You
1 Minute and 10 SecondsChaewon looped her arms behind my back and lifted me off the floor. I was frozen and my body grew stiff. What the hell is she doing?!?! Suddenly, I feel like everything seized to exist. All I can see was her face. She was not looking at me but she was looking straight ahead. I saw her nod before I felt strong wind brushed through my body.
That's when I realized that she was leaping away from the hallway. I looked around and saw that we were heading to a secluded part of the mansion.
I stared back to her face. It looked serene and peaceful. I can't help but admire her beauty. If I've met her a few days ago, I wouldn't have believed that she is capable of so much power.
She, then, stopped leaping. We were in a secret garden. It was quiet here. She placed me down to sit on a stone bench, and finally, she looked at me. My breath hitched when our eyes meet.
"Are you alright?" Her voice is soft. It's a bit high in pitch but it's the perfect kind. It would be nice to listen to that voice again. My thoughts were broken when she placed a hand on my arm. She gave me a worried look because of my long silence. Suddenly, I felt air coming back to my lungs. I didn't realize that I was holding my breath. I slowly nodded to answer her question.
I saw relief paint her face as she smiled a little. She then moved to sit beside me. "Please pardon me about your wamb." Wamb? Did she just say wamb? "Err….stomach, I mean." She corrected herself while scratching the back of her head. It looked like something a child would do. Cute. She must have realized my confusion for her to clarify it.
I awkwardly cleared my throat. "It's..uhhmm…It's fine…"
Suddenly, her hands grab the hem of my shirt. I flinched at her action and grabbed her hands to stop her because what the hell? She looked unto my eyes. "May I?" For some reason, I feel compelled to follow her wish. I let my hand slide from her hands. She lifts my shirt to see the bruises on my stomach. Next thing I knew, there are cold fingers running through my stomach to my ribs. I held my breath at that feeling. Then suddenly all the pain vanishes.
I quickly lift my shirt higher to see my stomach. My eye completely bulging out when I saw that the bruises are gone. I look up to her as if to question her. Then it suddenly hit me, she had no bruises and wounds on her body. And I am completely sure that at least her hearing must have been damaged after the fight. Yet here she is looking like our fight never happened.
"Uhh... while our combat was commencing, I have observed that you have a wound on your shoulder. May I see?"
My trembling hand made it's way on my shoulder and exposed Hitomi's bite mark.
"Did Hitomi cause this?"
"You know her?" She didn't answer, instead, she glides her hand along my shoulder and I saw how the bite mark faded. "H-h-how....wha-what the.... what are you? H-how can you heal my wound?"
She gave me a tiny smile then she shrugged. "I guess it's under my power description." She said in an awkward way to sound cool. She stood up from the bench. "I shall dismiss myself."
I looked at my shoulders again. "Wai-" My words died down because when I looked up I saw her leaping away from me.

I walked back to our room. I saw Yuri biting her thumb. Hitomi sitting at the edge of the sofa. Nako phasing back and forth.
"Minju!!!" Nako cried out.
