“Why not?”, I protested, “Because I said so”, Seongwoo asserted. “I’m going and you can’t stop me”, I stood firmly. “It’s too dangerous Tris”. “I will have enough protection with the covens there”, I tried to convince him even though I wasn't so sure myself. The WOU Halloween party was coming up. It was going to be my first Halloween with Daniel. “It’s too many people, with faces we can’t see… too close to your birthday”, Seongwoo stated. “Ong, I am going to this party with Daniel who is more than capable of protecting me… plus... you are going with Sej. The covens are going. Please for the love of go- … angels … tell me how I won’t be safe?”. After some contemplating, he sighed in defeat, “Fine… but if anything happens... then”. “Then what?”, I pouted. “Then… ahh... fine okay fine... nothing is going happen. I won't let it”, Seongwoo said. I smiled, “See I told you”. He rolled his eyes, “You are the most impossible Nephilim I have ever had… well Triphilim”. I gave him an excited hug,"And you are the best guardian angel I have ever had". “I’ve missed you by the way”, his face was serious again, “I’m sorry about how things have been recently. I didn’t mean for it to become that way between us”. I hugged him again, letting it linger this time, “I have missed you too”.

He broke off the hug, “What is the point of this day anyway? Why do you want to be something you’re not?”, even Daniel didn’t understand this. “Well it started off as a way to scare off ghosts, but now it's just fun… what are you and Sej going as?”, I asked. “Why do you keep putting us together, as if we are some couple?”, he seemed annoyed. “Well you kind of are”, I shrugged. “Did she say that?”, I could sense the anger building up. “No but she’s your life partner, so you are a couple in some way”, the truth was she had been making it seem like they were in a relationship. “I’ve never been a couple before. She’s been trying to “date” me, as the humans would say”, he ruffled his hair in frustration. “Why does it sound like you have a problem with that?”, I asked. “I don’t… well I do but it’s just different… she’s trying to be an earthling couple”. “Is that such a bad thing... Do you not like her?”, his expression changed when he heard those words. “In a way I do like her. She’s a good life partner; she’s smart, funny, brave, strong and pretty. But… it all feels very forced. We are a couple because we have to be, not because we want to be. Not to mention it’s killing j-”, he paused, knowing he was revealing a secret that was not his to reveal. “It's killing who; Jaehwan? So he does love her”, I felt conflicted by this
