Eunji’s P.O.V

Ever since I confessed Jaeyoon about ‘that’ matter, she would avoid me or come up a different topic. Is there something wrong with me? The last time I checked, I was alive and kicking. I’m kidding.

But really, I’m mentally stable, that I can assure you.

For the past few days, everything starts to get weird. For instance, whenever Jaeyoon-unnie wears her ‘ancient’ crimson bracelet before we go to school, the red light would always show and surrounds her petite, average body. As much as I want to tell her, my mind would suddenly drag me to the time I told her for the first time and I knew, she’d be flipping tables at me. So, I decided to remain silent and tried to shrug the thought off.

“Eunji, did you see ‘them’?” Jaeyoon asked me, eyes glued to mine. One word that indicates about me lying to her would be the end of me. Well, that sounds exaggerating but, it’s my twin sis we’re talking about. She’s nicely scary towards me. Heh

I shook my head and waved both of my hands to tell her to go out. I, on the other hand, busied myself to tie my shoes and fixed my skirt before going out.

We arrived at our four-story, co-ed school known for having incredible smart students. (Well, except me of course.). If given a chance to compare me and my sis. I’d definitely surrender myself and give all the praises to my sister. We definitely have a lot of differences.

I was mostly the opposite twin, you see.

And somehow, the thought of being the shadow twin never seemed to bother me. Thank god.

Jaeyoon’s P.O.V

            Eunji and I made in class 5 minutes early. As usual, our classmates were busy chatting to their friends and the boys; well…they have their own businesses to take care of. As much as our school is known for having diligent, dutiful students, our class in fact, was the complete opposite. Here, you can see groups of delinquents, wide range of pretty girls and boys too. Well if you ask me about potato-looking people, there are tons of them. Oh my, aren’t I too judgmental? At least I didn’t say the ‘U’ word right?

I saw Eunji taking her seat and stared at the window. What could she be thinking?

“Eunji-ah~ you’re not the imitating ‘the thinker’ aren’t you?” I said teasingly as I stood beside her.

“If I were, the whole world would be as dumb as I am.” She replied, not even wasting a second to look at me. I crossed my arms and tried to come up a good comeback but my level of wit wasn’t helping me.

“oh.” That was all I could mutter. I sat back in my own seat and let Eunji spend her wee time thinking a lot of ‘dumb’ things. At least, that was she thought.

“Good morning, class.” Our homeroom teacher chimed from the entrance door which caused some of our classmates squirm back from their seats. Teacher Kang sassed her way to her table and began calling our names for attendance. When it was over, she started discussing about our new lesson in English: the proper usage of ‘your’ and ‘you’re’. With Teacher Kang’d incessant lectures, I stole a glance at Eunji whose head had already faced the surface of the table, snoring. I couldn’t help but chuckle at my sister’s situation and poked her waist to wake up but it seems it’s even worse than I thought.

When I poked her waist, Eunji’s eyes lit up and stood up, shouting the words, “THERE’S NO WAY IN HELL THAT RED LIGHT IS RELATED TO FUSHIGI YUUGI OR WHATEVER CHINESE KINGDOM ERA!! NEVERRRR!!”

I gaped at her in horror while our classmates stared at her and scoffed. Teacher Kang twitched her eye and arched a brow before approaching the now ‘dead-meat’ Eunji.

“Is something wrong, Ms. Lee?” Teacher Kang asked with an irritated look on her face. No wonder she remained single at this time and age. In short, she’s an old hag despite being a 30 year old, single, workaholic woman. She’s merciless and very hard to please. Even our classmates who are gang members tried everything to soften her loveless little heart but to no avail, it remained stiff and untouched. So sad.

Eunji shook her head and bowed in apology at Teacher Kang. But being the bossy, angry bird I mean teacher that she was, she pointed her index finger at the entrance door, telling Eunji to go out.

Being a nonchalant twin sister that Eunji was, she went out and neither looked back at me nor at teacher Kang. But she did say something before she vanished at the classroom that gave us a good laugh.

“IS TEACHER KANG ON HER PERIOD? IF SO, STAY AWAY FROM THE TIGERRR OR SHE WILL EAT YOU ALIVE!!”

“YAAAAAAAAA! LEE EUNJI!!!!!” was all Teacher Kang could blurt out from her pouty, dry lips and instinctively ruffled her hair in frustration.

No one’s P.O.V

            When Eunji left the classroom, she decided to stroll around and spend the extra minutes of their English class chilling at the rooftop. When she went there, a strong, chilly wind brushes her hair, making her skirt reveal her undergarments. If it weren’t for her wearing a cycling pant or something that could cover her , for sure, Eunji would be as red as a tomato if a guy sees her current state. Luckily, no one saw her except a lone figure leaning against the wall, which is far away from Eunji’s spot. Unfortunately, her pitchy scream had caught the guy’s attention; causing him to turn around and meet Eunji’s gaze.

The guy stood up from his spot, shoving any dirt to his clothes before approaching her. Eunji could make out that the guy was a few centimeters taller than her and that his hair was tied in a ponytail and blond streaks were visible from his brunette hair. Finally, he stood in front of her and scanning her from head to toe.

Eunji couldn’t help but to raise an eyebrow. “???”

The boy smiled. “Seems like luck was on my side. I was about to go and look for you but, hey, you’re here.”

“huh?” asks a confused Eunji.

“I’ve been waiting for you.” the boy added.

Him? waiting for me? For what?

Thoughts started running from Eunji’s mind that at any moment, she might be suffering from a terrible headache.

Thinking that the guy was being a smooth talker, she scoffed at his remark and replied. “me? Pft. That’s funny.” In contrast to her reaction, the guy’s visage remained stiff, not minding her mocking at him.

“WE have been waiting for you, Priestess of the North Nation.” he declared once again and pointed at Eunji’s right wrist.

Eunji looked at him in befuddlement, “wait…what? Priestess? That’s ridiculous.” She looked at the direction the guy was pointing at her and raised her wrist, equipping the jaded dragon bracelet that was given to Jaeyoon. She thought for a moment and finally understood what the guy is implying.

“wow this is…” quivered in fear, “--quiet absurd. There’s no way things like this happens in real life.”

The guy shook his head at her and with a flick from his hand, his clothes transformed into a dark shade of blue cloak. On his forehead lies a tiny sapphire bead that sticks symmetrically between his trimmed eyebrows.

When the guy revealed his real identity, Eunji couldn’t utter a single word and remained dazed. She slapped herself, thinking all of this was just a dream. But as they say, reality hurts and that Eunji’s cheeks had swollen, revealing shades of red from it.

If Jaeyoon were to be in this situation, no doubt, she’d let this odd-looking yet handsome guy take her away from this world and become their priestess in a hearbeat.

“who…are you?” she stammered, eyes weren't peeled off at the guy.

The guy chuckled at Eunji staring at him, not even batting an eyelash from the girl.

“It’s...a…secret.” He placed an index finger on his lips and winked at her in a teasing manner.
