Chapter 3
Beautiful Illusion[Day 1]
The first few steps Seohyun took when she walked through the entrance hall made her literally swoon at the sight of the grand Manor. It was, in a good way, so different from the Manor she had seen previously. The marble floor sparkling under the sunlight and there wasn’t even a speck of dust on it.
“Wow,” She breathed, looked up to the ceiling and saw the beautiful chandelier sparkled overhead, like stars in a night sky, leaving her in a trance as her footsteps halted to a stop.
It must’ve taken a lot of effort to maintain the Manor this well, Seohyun noted.
“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Sungmin spoke softly, a small smile grazing his lips.
“It is beautiful.” She agreed, still not taking her eyes off the ceiling. “It looks a whole lot better that it did when I-“ Seohyun trailed off as she realized what she just said. She slowly turned to glance at Sungmin who threw her a weird expression.
“Miss Seo, You’ve… Have you been here before?” Sungmin asked her slowly, confused. He stopped in his tracks and stared at Seohyun for a moment, waiting for her answer.

The man raised his eyebrow, “She must not be an angel, eh?”

“Anyway, let’s just get straight to the point. Who are you and how did you fall from the sky?” The ‘Master’ demanded.
“Asks the person who caused it.” She muttered under her breath.
“What was that?” He asked suddenly, causing Seohyun to jump a litte.
“Even if I told you, you wouldn’t believe me.” She sighed.
“Mi casa, tu casa.” He replied nonchalantly while walking away, leaving Sungmin and Seohyun alone.
“What's ‘Mu caza ti caza’?!” Seohyun half-whispered, “My home is your home. And by the way, it's 'Mi casa, tu casa.'. You should learn how to speak Spanish.” Sungmin replied while
