Chaewon leaped off the garden. This left me completely in shock. I used 4 yields just to take away her energy but it looked like it did not affect her even a little.

After a few moments of getting over my shock, I started to digest the things she has said to me. Was I really harming them? I recall my previous actions. But I was just trying to keep them safe. I want to believe that if other people were to switch places with me, they would do the same thing. I had to protect those that I love. I can't lose anyone else in my life again. But was I really going to lose them with what I am doing?

I sighed. "I'm so lost. I wish you were still here, unnie. You always know the right words to say. The right things to do." I sigh. Was it so bad to protect the ones I love? I won't lose them the same way I lost you and my parents. I am stronger now. I can fight now.

I felt a tear left my eyes and quickly wipe it away.

"You….you are….playing with….Eunbi-unnie's ring again..haaah." A voice caught my attention from daydreaming.

"Hii… what… what are you doing here?" I saw her holding her knees and trying to catch her breath. "Wait, did I do that?" I asked as I saw red marks on her arms, neck, and legs.

"No, silly. I wrestled with Chaewon-unnie." She smiled at me brightly. "You're playing with Eunbi-unnie's ring agai-"

"Wait, you wrestled with Chaewon-unnie?"

Hitomi paused, perplexed at my bewilderment. "Yeah, no big deal. We've been doing that whenever we have an argument when we were kids."

"When you were kids? How long have you kno- You know that's not the issue. What is that? Why did she hurt you when she went all that claiming she protects you? And….and you had an argument?"

Hitomi giggled at me. "Don't worry these are just nail scratches. You should have seen what I did to her." She grimaces "And yeah, we had an argument. She tried to stop me from going back to you as soon as I woke up and she filled me in."

"Yeah, why did you come back here?" I said with a dejected tone as I lift my gaze to the sky.

"Cause I know you’re confused? Cause I know you really need someone to talk to?"

"Are you asking me?"

"I was being sarcastic."

"I can never tell whenever you are being so. You always say things on a flat tone." I joked.

She laughed at my statement, which made me smile a little. "What are you going to do with Yuri now?"
