Infirmary

@⚜ Murase Sae ￥ The knock on the door stopped him on his tracks. “Come in.” He called out confident that it won’t be anyone else but the good doctor. Besides, who else would like to see him. The slave traders will not go back since they were warned - he hopes. “It’s covering the important bits. So it’s fine.” Mackenyu tried to sound cheerful yet the awkwardness sure makes him wince a little. “Thanks.” He dipped his head, taking the rope and wrapped it around his waist, tying it to keep it from falling. Not a second later, he put on a jacket and walked wearing slippers. He wanted to about where she got the clothes from. But he remembered that she used to have a master and decided not to ask. “Do you get to have a break now?”

@⚜ Son Seungwan ¥ [pardon me for mentions of violence and the horror. Please whacked him hard on the head.]

There is a loud click and clanging of cupboards rattling, glass instruments shattering and metals hitting each other when the ground shook beneath them. “Heh! You’re a fool to think you can entrap me.” His voice shifting from a child to a husky voice of a man. Slowly the demon rise up, his feet few inches off the ground. his head hangs low. There is a muffled scream coming from the closet where the doctor kept his clothes.

“What are you waiting for? Open it.” The demon whispered but it echoed as if it is coming from underground. There is a loud thud and panting.

In swift move, the creature swoop down, got a hold of Seungwan’s arm tightly and dragged her towards the closet. “He’s there. Want me to open it?” His smooth skin grazing her cheek. No longer the demon looked ill, but the distinct feature of the Vampire Doctor reappeared.

A grin flashed across his face, then with his free hand he knocked twice. His piercing eyes never leaving her in case she has another trick up her sleeve. The door creaked open. Far deep within the darkness, few torches dimly lit a a man who is gagged and chained. He wore a military uniform torn in all sort of places, allowing anyone to see the deep wounds along his skin. Yet, the demon pointed at the wooden stake protruding from the man’s chest. The man appeared to be resting till the demon snapped his fingers. The man wakes up and winced trying to see who is there. “Tada! Look Dr. Choi, a beautiful lady wants to see you. Miss Son, meet the famous vampire doctor. Isn’t he adorable?”

@♆ Choi Seunghyun [H] Lisa watched, her gaze fixed on the man across the room, his every action repulsive. He was a hollow shell of a man, his body little more than a vessel for greed, ego, and cruelty. The woman beside him flinched with each strike of his hand, her eyes dull with resignation. Lisa’s heart tightened in her chest, but she remained calm, detached, as if observing a wounded animal from a distance. The tavern around her bustled with noise—drunken laughter, clinking glasses, and the sounds of distant brawls—but none of it reached her focus. Her eyes never left the man. The coward. The abuser. She saw through him, knew what he was: a predator with no remorse. But he had no idea who was watching, and soon, he wouldn’t have the chance to hurt anyone again.

Standing up from her seat, Lisa made her way to the bar, her steps measured and purposeful. She knew exactly what she was doing. The drink she ordered was one she had seen the man indulge in all evening, and it would be the perfect delivery for her plan. As the bartender poured the amber liquid into a glass, Lisa’s fingers brushed the small vial tucked into her thigh bag. The vial held something much more potent than any poison—it was the result of her years spent alone on a deserted island, learning the intricate uses of plants and herbs for survival. With the expertise of someone who had once relied on nature for her life, she poured the indigo liquid into the drink, stirring it just enough to mix. The effects would be swift and irreversible.

With the drink in hand, Lisa strode toward the man, her movements full of confidence. His boisterous voice reached her ears before she even stood in front of him, bragging about how many women he could conquer in a night. She smiled sweetly, her voice warm and inviting as she spoke. "Sir, care for a drink? It’s on me." The man looked up, eyes immediately scanning her body. Her tight corset accentuated her bust, and her skirt, though modest, clung to her form just enough to spark his interest. But it wasn’t just her body that caught his attention; it was her face—beautiful, serene, with long hair that fell like silk down her back. He grinned, clearly taken by her, and without hesitation, he grabbed the drink from her hand and pulled her into his lap. His touch sent a surge of disgust through her, but she swallowed it, waiting for the right moment.

Lisa kept her composure, her insides seething with the urge to strike. She had to be patient. The man threw back the drink without a second thought, smashing the glass against a nearby pillar as he laughed obnoxiously. Lisa didn’t flinch. Within moments, his laughter faltered as he began to cough, his face slowly turning a sickly shade of purple. His throat tightened, unable to draw air. Lisa feigned concern, her expression turning to one of fake worry as she rushed to his side. His hands clawed at his neck, gasping for breath, but it was no use. He fell backward with a sickening thud, his body jerking and convulsing. Lisa moved quickly, maintaining her calm demeanor. She stood up, lifting the dying man in her arms with deceptive strength, the weight of his body a mere inconvenience to her.

With a purposeful stride, she carried him out of the tavern, heading straight for the infirmary. She banged on the door, shouting for help. "He's dying. Help." The facade was flawless. The coward would never hurt anyone again.

@♆ Choi Seunghyun [H] Seungwan just stood there, frozen as the demon starts voicing out his anger towards the hybrid. As the strong wind came out of nowhere, she stood her ground as the demon had voiced displeasure towards Seungwan. Despite the fear she is feeling, she toughened herself up and balled her both hands into fists as she looked at the demon, “What. Did. You. Do?!” She said firmly at the demon. She is ready whenever the demon will strike her, she had enough power to fight back, she’s no longer the helpless girl she once was. She is stronger, more bolder.

@⚜ Son Seungwan ¥ Inch by inch the doctor is no longer recognisable. The long thin ill-looking humanoid hunched in a ball wailing. The deception worked well. He talks, walks, smells Nd speaks like the doctor. He has access to Seunghyun’s memories. The demon embodied the infamous doctor to a tea including his weakness. A serious loophole on his cursed power. Taunting voices ringing in his ears while his comrades watched him suffer. He huffs and puffs as if choking. The smell of fire and brimstone coming mixing with the air. “R—-r—un.” A man’s voice echoed, pleading. “Pl—ease…run!“

“Someone shut him up!” The demon roared like a lion, twisting and turning all over the floor. “I swear. I’ll kill you.” His voice changing, gripping his chest till he stopped moving, his face pressed against the floor. Puff of smoke coming out of his ears and mouth. The temperature dropped quickly as strong blasts of wind wreak havoc inside the office.

“Do you really wanna know what happened to that bastard?” Thousand of voices can be heard coming from the demon. A finger twitched then another, till it is balled into a fist. “Do you?!”

“Milady, please save yourself!” The same voice urging.

@♆ Choi Seunghyun [H] As the light shown towards the vampire doctor’s pale skin, it quickly melted as soon as the light touches his skin. That’s where Seungwan saw his true form, a demon hiding inside a vampire’s body. Her eyes widen at the revelation and yet she stood there when the ‘demon’ begged for help. The kindness that the doctor did was just a ruse, a deception for the hybrid to bite on. “You’re not a real vampire, you’re a demon in disguise!” She told him as she stand beside the light, “What did you do to doctor Seunghyun?” She starts interrogating him.

@⚜ Son Seungwan ¥ In a hurry to leech off from Mr. Pembroke and to show off once the prince comes around to ask about his quota, Seunghyun made a mistake when he stepped closer to Seungwan. An eerie cry escaped from lips as the sun burns a part of his face and torso. Flesh melting the porcelain vessel revealing his ugly true form. The doctor stumble backwards grasping his face but that did not help. "A rotting body, how awful. You're doomed. Doomed."There was a roaring laughter as smoke begun to filled the room. Chaos and Deception materialised, yet only the doctor could see them. "Help me, you idiots!" He hissed, dropping on his knees.

@♦ Mackenyu Arata ¥ [H] Sae wasn't worried about the other doctor. He could try to hurt her but she wouldn't let anyone do that to her again. She entered the supply closet as she grabbed a jacket and some slippers before exiting back to the room. She knocked on the door to let him know that she was entering. She opened up the door and slipped back into her office, seeing him in the clothes - but could tell that they were a bit big on him. "Sorry that they don't fit that well," She sighed, setting the things that she brought with her on her desk. She walked to her cabinet again, opening it up to look around in it. She pulled out some rope as it was the best that she could at the moment. "I'm sorry that this is all that I have, but it will work," She walked over to him, holding out the rope to him. "I brought you a jacket and some slippers to wear. It is chilly out this morning, once you are ready. Let me know, and we can start to head to the cottage," She pointed over to her desk where the jacket and slippers were waiting for him.

@⚜ Murase Sae ￥ Mackenyu sighed in relief knowing the arrogant doctor is far from harming Sae. Afraid he is taking most of her time, the man ceased his relentless enquiries and focused on the task at hand. He stood slowly, finding support by leaning against the wooden table. He could feel the difference from the night before. His feet doesn't wobble nor his body screaming to be laid to rest. It felt like he can walk faster now or even run. "No, maybe when she's not around." The man took a mental note. "Thanks." His voice brighter than normal and waited for the door to shut before undressing. Uneven scars from being burnt and lacerated marked his body. He scoffed looking at his bandaged chest. "That's how many now, Mackenyu?" He mumbled to himself slipping into the clothes the doctor wanted him to use. The shirt baggy and the pants a loose and long. He gripped the waist belt, wandering inside the room to find something to tie around his waist.

@♦ Mackenyu Arata ¥ [H] (( for what? there is nothing to forgive ))

Sae knew why he was asking her all about what she could do and her powers. He probably wanted to see if he could have some like himself - but of course, the main defensive powers she didn't achieve from being a mage. She only enhanced them. In due time, he placed his cards correctly then he could have just as much power. Sae glanced up at him as he asked her about the other doctor - if he knew. She shook her head. "I don't think so. I don't speak to him really at all and try my best not to interact with him - don't worry about that," She answered, finishing dressing his wound. She stood up hearing him laugh as she shook her head. She simply nodded. "I'll keep that in mind," SHe answered as she walked to a cabinet. She pulled out some pants and a tee-shirt. "Here you can change into these - they are probably more comfortable than the hospital garments you are in now. I'll let you change while I go get you some slippers and then we can head out to the cottage for breakfast," Sae set down the clothes next to him. She then left her office so that he could change in peace and feel awkward with her being there. She went down to the supply closet to get some slippers that he could wear just for now.

@⚜ Murase Sae ￥ [Forgive me]

Mackenyu knew his chances to have such powers is to ask. Hearing that it is an innate power, he decided to put his curiosity on a leash. He looked at the doctor and thought he owes her too much to drain her of blood to create a opium. To him, she must be protected despite her own ability to guard herself. He did not wince or move away this time when the woman cleaned his wound. "Does he know?" He asked. "That other doctor. Does he know?" Worry started to paint his face - brows knitted and voice almost to a whisper. He nodded and let out a small laughter, "Noted. Besides, I'll eat whatever you give me."

@♅ Kim Junkyu ¥ He was right that her bubbly and positive personality was a coping mechanism – but Yooa didn’t know that herself. She didn’t even know what a coping mechanism was in the first place. She knew that what she was saying probably didn’t sit well with him – most that she talked about this with didn’t agree with her. But, this is what her mind always came to. Maybe she wasn’t ready to leave those relationships – maybe she was afraid of giving up on those relationships because she was afraid if she did then she would be lonely. Being lonely was the thing that she hated the most. She listened to him as he described her. He was right about everything that he had said. She wasn’t sure on how to answer him honestly. She was glad that he wasn’t trying to change her or educated her on how she should think. He was accepting of her and how she was and the way she was.

She was very glad that he didn’t press her about how she knew that was pretty nice and everything in that aspect. But, she knew that he would bring it up again at a later date when they closer – or when she was a bit less guarded it would probably slip out of . She nodded. “Well, I mean – if they both consent and want to do it then some do. I can’t lie aobut that – and not all kisses are romantic. Some times friends kiss like on the cheek and stuff – also friends do hug,” Yooa scratched the back of her neck as she looked at him. She wasn’t going to lie to him about different relationships that people had together. That wouldn’t be good for him. She nodded. “We are both safe – we won’t do that kind of stuff together. Well, I mean I might hug you or give you friendly skinship cause I am pretty affectionate person,” Yooa warned him. Yooa paused as he asked the next question. “I have been – it was uhm with a girl – you don’t mind that I like both girls and boys – right? I don’t really care about gender – its more about how I feel about the person,” Yooa answered, glancing back down at her feet and kicking the ground. She was scared about what he would say and think about her orientation.

Yooa watched his expression as she agreed with it. It was sad that they were treated like this and they weren’t any different from the people that didn’t have the slave brand on their body. She was guiding them back to the infirmary as she knew that he probably needed to get back to work, and she didn’t want to get him in trouble with anyone. She nodded to his question. “Yes, we can I think. I don’t know how to do it though,” She answered with a small nod. She chuckled along with him as they were getting close to the infirmary. “For sure, both of us still have a lot to learn,” She answered, pointing to the infirmary. “Here we are, back at the infirmary. I am not going to go in cause even though you said it’s not scary – it is still scary to me,” She told him with a small nod.

It was not yet his time to clock in, yet Junkyu arrived early, as was his habit, in hopes of offering assistance to anyone in need. It was in his very nature to help, a compulsion not born solely of his mission, but of something deeper within him.

"Good morrow, Kyu!" greeted a colleague, his smile radiating a brightness that seemed to lift the gloom of the place that day.

"Good morning! Let us make this day a bit brighter," Junkyu replied, his tone filled with warmth, eager to bring some cheer to the otherwise somber atmosphere.

His gaze shifted to a waiting patient, eyes filled with care as he gently guided them to a nearby chair, all while another doctor called for the next in line. He sighed softly, resigned to yet another day of offering his aid. Another day, another chance to help those in need.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥ Nothing much was revealed about Yooa, but Junkyu, the Angel, had long sensed that her bubbly nature was a coping mechanism for the pain and struggles she had endured. And he had accepted her as she was. Though some of her explanations didn’t quite sit right with him, he chose to nod, acknowledging her words without fully agreeing, but never invalidating them. "Yooa, what in this world could you do to upset them?" he asked, his voice soft and steady, like a gentle breeze. "You are a loving person. Yes, you can be clumsy at times, and your energy can surprise people, but that’s not enough reason for anyone to hate you." In his mind, Junkyu wished for her to understand that some people were simply toxic, and that it was okay, even necessary, to cut them off in order to protect one’s peace of mind. When Yooa gave her final response, Junkyu’s heart finally came to a quiet acceptance. Yooa is Yooa, he thought. He would never try to change her perspective or her way of seeing the world. But one thing he knew for sure, he had promised himself he would always stand by her, no matter how much time he had left in this world before his god called him home.

He blinked at her words, still curious about how she knew that could be "pretty nice," but he didn’t press the matter. He would wait for her to share more when she felt ready. The angel, after all, was just curious; in his home, indulging in such worldly pleasures was considered a sin. "Ah, so friends don’t have or kiss intimately, right? So we’re both safe?" he said, his words carrying agreement. His heart confirmed this too, yet a small emptiness lingered, quietly questioning if he could truly abandon this aspect of the world. "Ah... well, tell me, have you ever been in a romantic relationship with anyone?" Curiosity once again overtook him. He didn’t need the details, only to know if Yooa had given her heart to someone, if there had been a love story, a happy ending. It seemed like a light topic to discuss now, far removed from the sadness that had been clouding his thoughts. He wasn’t ready to focus on that….not yet.

In response, Junkyu gave a sad smile. It was a lonely battle for those at the bottom. He nodded, taking one last look at the people around him before allowing Yooa to guide him out of the place. His lunch break was nearly over, and perhaps the fairy was leading him back to the infirmary. He felt a quiet sense of gratitude. “Is there anything we can do to lift our status?” he asked, his voice tinged with sadness. “Can we buy our freedom back?” Where had it gone, anyway? His god had always said that everyone had their own free will, yet here, in this world, half the population seemed shackled. He chuckled softly, scratching the back of his neck in that shy manner of his. “I guess there’s still so much to learn, huh?” He would adapt, he thought. He had no choice but to.

@♅ Kim Junkyu ¥ Yooa was often made fun or teased for her more innocent way of thinking and happy-go-lucky state of mind that she kept herself in. Most people told her to grow up and not be so naïve that the world wasn’t like that anymore. But, Yooa couldn’t see herself doing that. She liked who she was and being happy and positive made her happy. She liked being the little bubbly hyper and little star among the dark ones. If she could brighten someone’s day, then she felt accomplished. Yooa listened to his question as she bit her lip. She wasn’t sure how to answer. “I don’t know – I don’t like losing people even they have done something bad to me. I don’t think it tires me out as there is always a reason to why someone hurts you – right? What if I did something to upset them or make them mad at me – them hurting me then is something a I deserved for hurting them?” Yooa asked as he looked at him. “It’s complicated, I guess,” She answered as she looked at him.

Yooa chuckled. “Yea, I am – but I don’t like to make a big deal out of it. Don’t treat me any different that you now know who my mom is or that I am princess. I am still the fairy Yooa that I was before you knew all of this,” Yooa told him with a small nod. She nodded. “You are right about that – she is an amazing person and I love her a lot. She’s helped me and protected me when she didn’t have to. She is strong person,” Yooa smiled at him with a sparkle in her eye as she talked about Bambi. Yooa nodded. “Yea, is pretty nice. It’s fun and a good time,” Yooa said rather bluntly as she was afraid to say that she’s done it before. But, she wasn’t sure how he would react that she had rally only had intimate relationships with girls – so she didn’t mention that. Yooa nodded. “Totally – we shouldn’t since we are friends right now. But, I don’t want to limit you or anything – if something changes then we can talk about it. But, yea for now – we shouldn’t. Friends don’t do that kind of stuff with each other,” Yooa said. Well, some friends did – but she wasn’t sure that she wanted to go down that rabbit hole with him with now and teach him that kind of stuff. “If you have any other questions, then you can ask me,” She added. She wasn’t sure if she was going to regret this later – but she was his friend and friends helped and answered any questions that other friends had for each other.

Yooa knew that he trusted her as he wasn’t fighting her or pulling back on her as she gently pulled him away from the accident and away from the conflict. She didn’t want them to get into scuffle int eh middle of the street especially since they were both slaves. Yooa sighed as she looked at her friend. “I hope so too – and I’m sorry for dragging you away form. But that man was trying to start a fight with us which wouldn’t be good for us snice we are slaves,” Yooa answered as she sighed to him. “We can do almost anything around here if we don’t show we are slaves – but you have to be careful when people start stuff with you. If the scary people come that enforce the rules come – then they will know who we really are and it won’t end well for us,” Yooa informed him She kicked the ground as he asked her about if they actually punished slaves that tried to run away. “They do only if they can catch you. You have to learn to avoid the right people and stay out of trouble. If they forget about you or never think you are troublemaker then they practically leave you alone,” Yooa answered him, finally glancing up at him. “It’s just the way of this place – and it’s not fair. But, all you can do is try your best to stay out trouble and not run into the meanies that use our status against us,” Yooa told him.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥ now that he has heard her thoughts in general, Junkyu developed a little admiration toward the fairy. Her point of view is of someone who's still innocent, no sign of malice. He is sure she's really of a good character and he just wish that no one will hurt his friend. "what I meant by that is dont you think that you if you give them forgiveness you'll only allow them to hurt you again? like encouraging them since you dont want them out of your life they just can hurt cause you'll still accept them in your life, wont that tire you out?" this is a question out of concern, he wasn't pushing anything though, he just want to know her thoughts and he wants to show her a different perspective outside her line of view.

at the mention of her adoptive mother Junkyu coos a little. "that does mean you're a princess?" his head tilt to the side, so the woman in front of him is a monarchy? "cause you know, even if you are adopted, she accepted you as her own. woah" he doesnt know things so he just concluded that. at her inquiry about relationships Junkyu cant help but puff his cheek as he think carefully. "I know the whole idea, but I dont know what does it mean. I know how baby is conceived but that just it" at her follow up question he shook his head. "kissing, dating, .. these are mortal actions that causes pleasure to both party right? and the later is what makes baby" he plainly explain. it's not so surprising because Angels dont indulge themselves with this kind of pleasure. one of course because they only do things that they think will make their god happy and two there's no relationship in heaven that could mean fantasizing anyone. its peace and praise over there.
at the mention that they were friends and should not do those things Junkyu agreed, he knows the heavy responsibility of letting someone in his heart. although he wasn't knowledgeable in the matter of love and romance listening to other angel talking about it gave him an idea. "I agree with you, we should not do those things" he reassured her verbally that he wont look at her that way.

when he got pulled from the accident his head turns back still looking at them, he trust Rui and Yooa with his life now so he just let them drag him out of the scene. when they were miles away and the scene was a little blurry from where they were, that's the only time he shifted his line of sight forward "that's tragic. I hope another angel comforts his soul" he said gently as some kind of prayer.
"Yooa" he called unto his friend who's still dragging him somewhere "do they really punish those slaves who runaway?" now that he thinks of it, what did he do to that he became a slave? he sure is an immigrant but he hasn't done anything so bad that should he be a slave in this world so why, again another question he hopes Yooa can answer

@♅ Kim Junkyu ¥ Yooa didn’t need people to pity her or feel bad or her. She was over her parent’s death in that it did make her sad, but it didn’t’ affect her life to where she couldn’t live her own life. Maybe it did affect her a little bit – but she didn’t want to dwell on the past much anymore. It didn’t make sense to dwell on it all the time. She did agree with him though. “Yes, lets make good memories and have fun! That is what I like the most – to be happy and make happy memories with people that she cared about. Yooa shook her head. “You’re welcome, but you didn’t need to thank me. We are friends and friends help each other in way that they can,” She smiled at him. “I agree – it is nice to get comforted when you need it. I’m always here if you need me to comfort you – or listen to you, or just cheer you up!” Yooa told him.

Yooa heard his question as she knew that it would come up. She wasn’t exactly sure how to answer his question. She wasn’t sure why she didn’t cut off people that hurt her – she always believed that people could change and wouldn’t hurt her again. She could forgive them and things could be different, right? “I think I don’t do that because I would miss them. If I forgave them and they told me that they wouldn’t hurt me again – then why would I cut them out? I just want them to like me and be happy – I don’t like people leaving. It is scary that one day someone you really cared about is there and then poof they are gone,” Yooa kicked at the ground as she looked at her feet. She glanced up at him. “Maybe, I don’t know,” Yooa answered, honestly as she shook her head. “No, it’s okay – you don’t have to say sorry. Friends can talk about this kind of stuff, right?” She asked him.

Yooa was serious about the slave quarters – she didn’t like them and didn’t like living in them. “Oh, right – Bambi is my mom. Well like my adoptive momma. She is the queen of dragons – but she is also a vampire. She is so amazing, strong, smart, and beautiful. I want to be like her, but I don’t think I can be amazing like her,” She told him with a big smile on her lips. Yooa blinked at him as she giggled. “There is nothing wrong with having a boyfriend or a girlfriend – I think just she might tease me a little about sneaking in a boy and all. Wait – do you know about boyfriends, girlfriends, wives, and husbands?” She asked him as she tilted her head to the side. “Do angels not know about kissing, dating, and stuff?” She asked him, scratching the side of her head. She was a little surprised that he didn’t know about that kind of stuff – but at the same time she wasn’t surprised since she always read about angels being pure and stuff. “I am not saying that I wanna do those things with you either. Don’t misunderstand me – but people you know sometimes tease others with that kind of stuff. And, I don’t mean that you aren’t handsome or couldn’t do those things – but we are just friends,” Yooa quickly added, sighing to herself feeling kind of dumb about thinking he would think she meant it like that.

Yooa peeled them some more fruit as she ate some melon too just smiling as it was good and nice today. Sometimes the fruit wasn’t as sweet as it was today. She glanced over to him as he ran off when there was a sound of a crash. “Wait, where are you going?” Yooa asked him as she handed the fruits to Rui, following after him. She followed as she stood off to the side, watching him trying to help the people that were hurt. She noticed that he went straight to the child and she could tell that child wasn’t breathing. She knew that he was probably sad about that and bad about not being able to help. Yooa watched his gaze as someone spoke as she hurried to Junkyu’s side and held onto his arm. “He’s not looking at anything! We were only trying to help that’s all – he’s a nurse and thought he could help if someone was hurt,” Yooa said, tapping Junkyu’s back as to calm down. She pulled on Junkyu’s arm almost telling him that they should go before something happens.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥ even though the hugs of comfort ended, Junkyu cant help to feel a little bit sorry to what happened to Yooa. He can see that she is trying to move forward with her life, and it is something to be proud of. She is brave, he thinks and a little thankful that she surrounded herself with good people. He is hopeful that they all wish her well and no alter motives to use her and her talent in anyway. "Indeed, feeling bad of course doesnt sit right.. let's make every moment fun then or at least something we can say a good memory" he added to her statement and little bit later his words of gratitude "thank you for that Yooa. really we just met and you already do much for me, its nice to get comforted when you needed it" he doesnt know that he has grief in his heart till he recognized it now. he must be feeling sad to what he has seen the world become. staying for a few hours in this depressing situation does things in your mind.

He nods here and there listening to her about giving forgiveness, she was right to say everyone give out forgiveness differently. he agreed. he was taught to forgive regardless of how spiteful a person is. but he was surprised that forgiveness in this world has many forms. and so another question was formulated in his limited mind. "Yooa, why dont you just cut tie to the people who hurt you? i mean holding to them gives so much toxicity?" he wonders. Yooa is a great character and she will find friends naturally so its a question why she's so scared of people leaving her. "are your fears connected to what happen to your....." he didnt continue, he felt like he is crossing the line. "im sorry, forget i was asking question" he said.

His laugh resonates as of how Yooa is so against him living in the slaves quartes, he got her point but do he have any choice.. at the mention of the certain name he does not know Junkyu's eyes sparkle with curiosity "who's bambi? and what's wrong having a boy friend?" he didnt get the joke for he is a divine creature not knowing about romantic relationship and its deeper meaning. Rui then made a snickering mechanical noise as if he is laughing. he doesnt know if he did that because the angel didnt get the joke or he is laughing cause Yooa's joke went down to the sewer just like that. but the noise get to him and so he is also laughing even though he dont know why. oh how he wish this robot get talk.

As they enjoy the lunch together Junkyu has found another reason to be thankful for the fairy. It will surely save him time when Yooa peels the fruit for them. He gets to enjoy his first meal on earth with a friend, what else can he ask for. He was about to take a bite on his melon when a crash was heard near them. People surrounds the site of crash immediately, and Junkyu use to be the angel who cares for the children, rushed to the site as well dropping everything at the sound of a baby's cry. "excuse me sir please let me pass through" he said in the midst of everyone, its getting a little harder to squeeze his way in but when he did. he's already late.. the cry stopped a second ealier before he reached them.. his shoulder slump as he watch a light coming from the child. "heck they deserve it for being a runaway slave" one local said out of spite, Junkyu's eyes landed on him with anger although he doesnt lash it out "oi what are you looking at" the man said, the angel's mind is again clouded forgetting that he left his friend out there.

@♅ Kim Junkyu ¥ Yooa nodded as she listened to the other. She knew that his god wasn’t all good as there wasn’t a person or being that was always good. She understood that everything happened for a reason, but she couldn’t help herself but ask about her parents. It was something that was always in the back of her mind that was always bothering. She wasn’t thinking about it but sometimes she did pop up when people asked certain questions. She couldn’t help but get stiff for a moment when he reached out for her as she didn’t know what he was going to do. She relaxed when he wrapped his arms around and she lifted up her arms to return the hug that he gave her. “It’s okay and thanks, I try not to think about them all the time. I don’t like be sad or feel that way – it’s not really that fun,” She answered with a small shrug. “You have a point that their passing allowed me to venture into the city and meet amazing people. I wouldn’t have ben meet you if the events that happened to me already had happened,” Yooa pointed out to him with a small nod. So, Junkyu was sent here because he asked why god did these kinda things and he wanted him to find out for himself. Junkyu was kind of like new baby coming into the world at this moment. “Well I will try to help you out anyway that I can,” She nodded to him.

Yooa nodded as way to answer that it was okay for him to ask her any questions that he had. “I try to give me second chances. I don’t want anyone that I like and care about to leave me – so when they do something bad to me then I try to understand why and forgive them. I mean, sometimes it is really hard to do so when they hurt you a lot – but I always try to,” She answered him with a small nod. “There is forgiveness in the world that I think – but everyone forgives differently,” She told him with a nod. She returned the smile as she really liked the idea as well. “I like the idea as well,” She told him with a smile.

Yooa could easily sneak Junkyu into the academy and no one would question her since her mom did own the academy and was the queen of the region. “Don’t worry about me getting into trouble – I would probably only get a lecture from Bambi and maybe a bonk on the head – or she wouldn’t do anything to do me and just be happy that I have a really good friend that is a boy,” She laughed, nudging him a bit. She was only joking and teasing him a bit. She then shook her head a lot when he said that he wanted to experience the slave quarters. “You do not want to experience the slave quarters – did you bump your head on the way down here?” Yooa asked him “That place is scary and the people there are super mean. I was would rather live in the forest and up in a tree than in there,” She answered as she reached out and patted his shoulder. “But, if you really want to do it then you are brave little soldier – I’m cheering you on,” She laughed.

Yooa didn’t mind to peel the fruits and get them ready – it was easy for her and she didn’t want him to waste time on peeling the fruit when he said that his lunch break wasn’t that long. She would rather him eat and have a relaxing time during his lunch break. She chuckled as she shook her head. “No, he won’t get any bigger unless someone builds him bigger, I think. Plus, I like this size that he was. He is really cute and easy to bring around when he is little,” Yooa told him as she handed him another piece of pear to eat. She ate a piece herself and did a little happy dance as she did as the fruit was really good. “I’ll cut up the melon now,” She told him as she started to cut up the melon. She sliced a piece for him and held it out to him. “Here you go,” She handed him the piece of melon.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥ for a second, of course Junkyu would look at Yooa from time to time observing her reaction to what he is rumbling about. He smiled, look up at the sky as the other asks about the bad situation that happened. there it is the usual question even kids he encountered in heaven ask him. "well, i want you to understand first that the god im serving is not just the "all goodness" god. he move things to show his glory. as to what happened to your parents" he stopped for awhile.. looking at her, he cant help but reach out to her and enveloped her into a hug "im sorry that your parents were taken away. He allowed those things to happen for whatever reason I dont know. but im sure in the end it is so we could see the his glory." he pat her in the back giving a few minutes for the silence to surround them.. even though it seems that Yooa is good at handling the situation already offering a hug wont be so bad so he did. "and maybe he allowed it so you could meet people, know people, explore things you havent seen, it is to make us grow.," after awhile he lets her go and went back to where he was standing before. "I was kind of sent in here because i literally ask him why he allowed the war and he send me a riddle you know.. he wants me to see and he wants me to help then that's it. pooof im not in where i am before" he chuckled a little realizing how funny his situation now. ridiculous he think sometimes, but how can he question his god.

was it really how the world thinks, if you are bad you will be unlikeable? he cannot fathom after all he was taught forgiveness "Yooa, if I may ask, does the world give second chances? while we're at it? I mean I did say there are good and evil, i wanna add there is also forgiveness and so even if one did bad things there is always forgiveness.." he sighed a little contemplating if he should continue with this topic when everything is still so vague, maybe its something they could both discover together. at her answer, he smiled happily, nods at her eagerly "i like the idea, Yooa.. I really do.."

"ahuh" he answered in a gentle matter of fact tone because she was seem so surprise. at her offer to room with her in her academy which he dont know what is, he let his head tilt to the side signaling confusion. He dont know what the other thing she was saying, again because of his ignorance in this worldly matter "wont that put you into another trouble? i havent been in slave quarter so i would like to experience it once before deciding, and i dont want you to bother you" He is thankful for the offer, he knows Yooa offer it out of good will, but Junkyu think it will cause a lot of trouble because he's new and dont even have connection that may require to enter the said establishment.

Junkyu watches Yooa peel the fruits after they settle down, it may take some time so his attention went from her hands towards the mechanical friend. "heol, will he turn bigger or will he stay like that? i mean his size? i cant imagine him still landing on your shoulder if he will grow as much as a tree" he spurted nonsense but its just his curiosity speaking. anything can happen, so robots might grow.. right?
the nurse accepted what he has been offered yet he waits for her to take a bite and he follows.. he is so right about the pear being the sweetest out of the bunch. "oh its good, i cant wait to try the melon" he exclaimed happily beside her

@♅ Kim Junkyu ¥ Yooa looked at him as she listened to him and was taking in what he was saying. She nodded to to let him know that she was listening and understanding what he was telling her. She was just processing it and taking it all in. She tilted her head, biting her lip for a second. “Does that mean that god made it so that my parents would die and leave me alone – or was it so that I could meet all these new friends and be adopted my new mom and dad?” Yooa asked as she didn’t really get to talk about this a lot. “Sorry, I don’t mean to say that someone you really look up to would do something that mean or bad to someone – but I just think about a lot ‘cause I miss them,” Yooa nodded to him. She shook her head. “It’s okay – you explained the best that you could. It helped me understand things better,” Yooa reached out as she patted his head like he had down before to her. She felt like that he deserved it and needed it too, and maybe it would comfort him from not to be so shy or frustrated about things.

Yooa tilted her head to the side as she looked at him. “If I had to do it to save my life or someone that I loved then maybe – I don’t know. I don’t want to do anything bad because then people won’t like me or want me around,” She answered as she sighed to herself. These were hard questions, but they were good questions to talk about. She nodded as he said that he was new to this world and still learning about everything. Granted, so was she. He wanted to discover them with her? She smiled about that. “I am glad that I’m your first friend. I will be there with you when you discover things and I would love to discover stuff with you too!” She smiled at him

Yooa sighed as she looked at him. “Alright, I’ll give them a chance. But, I can’t lie and say that anytime I will go to the hospital that I will be scared or anxious,” Yooa told him. She smiled at the head pat. It felt nice and it was bit comforting. Everything about Junkyu was comforting to be honest. It was like his whole aura and presence was calming and soothing. She blinked at him in surprise. “Just a few hours or a day? You’re like a little baby around here,” Yooa answered She couldn’t believe that he had only been here for that short of time. “Are you settling in okay? Is everyone treating you okay? Do you have a good plae to stay?! If you do’t then you can some and stay at the academy with me! The slave quarters are really scary and I don’t want you to get hurt there,” Yooa rambled off questions as she looked at him. Yooa nodded when he said that he would have the melon. “I like strawberries over melon but I love them both! So in the future, when we have fruit I’ll eat your strawberries for you if you want me too,” Yooa told him with a small laugh. “I like the golden ones better too! They taste sweeter,” She agreed as they bought and paid for their fruits. She followed him as she they sat down in bench that was close by. She reached back into her backpack and pulled out a small crafting knife so she could cut up the pear and melon so that they could share them. She glanced over to him as he spoke, nodding. “Yea, his name is Rui. An old friend made him for him before he left,” She chuckled, watching Rui summersault when Junkyu called out the little robot’s name. “He likes you and yea, I did name him,” Yooa held out some pear to him. “Here, try some,” She smiled to him.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥ "hmm.." Junkyu nooded at her answer, she was right when she said they all come from some other place, thought different things and it lighten his mind a little. "god.. i was taught and i still believe that he created all things. you, me, doesnt really need that he does you literally, he uses tools.. i mean your parents for example, he writes their fate, they met, your mom conceived you.. everything that's happening.. everything were pre-destined by him. even the wars. you know. everything happened for a reason thing" Junkyu tried to explain in a simple way Yooa could understand the world he came from and the knowled he has from it. "you mentioned you worshipped nature and such, in our knowledge every living things and non worshipped god. so to sum it all up its like he is the one who take good care of us all.." He shrugged as he dont know what to add anymore.. "the topic really is too broad and i cant explain everything Yooa, im sorry" he said apologetically. He wish to enlighten the girl but that's what his little mind can. his hand went to his nape and rubs it gently a sign that's he's getting shy and frustrated because he cant communicate what he witness from where he came from.

"ok.. what if, the only thing you can do is kill the person, would you do it or not?" Junkyu look at her as he speak of this. He isn't an angel of war but He is a firm believer of bad is bad regardless of the reason why people choose to do it. "but again, im not pushing that the only good "magic" is the thing that bestowed to us, no.. again im still exploring so I wish to discover new things in here.. what does good and bad mean in this world. and" he stop for awhile and genuinely look at Yooa with a gentle smile "and I wanna discover them all with you. because you are my first friend and i wanna share everything with you"

at her description of what the doctors do Junkyu cant help but laugh a little. "you arent wrong about the poking and stuff, but that's how they help us so.. i mean give them a chance alright?" his hand automatically went to her head and pat it gently as he saw a little innocent kid in her. he doesnt know but at this moment he feels soft for her. "right and to answer your question.. i just got in here... hours ago.. or maybe a day? I dont even know how time works. when the sun shine to me that means day, when the moon rise up that's night.. and when the sun rises once again its another day. so that's it." he happily hum a little when Yooa accepted the pear and at her question he look at the fruits "maybe ill have melon. I would choose melon over strawberries. just my preference. actually.." at her inquiry Junkyu pointed at the pear she was now holding "golden ones, but regular greens have their own charm." he pick up the melon he wanted to purchase and handed the coins that will pay for both fruits to the seller and they are on their way to the nearest chair in the street. "oh so his name is Rui huh" at the mention of his name the little dragon made a summersault in the air and that made the angel chuckle "he's fond of his name.. i can see he likes it so much. do you gave him his name?" he ask as they settle down on the bench.

@♅ Kim Junkyu ¥ Yooa shook her head. "It didn't offend me, but it just confused me that's all. We all come from different places and we learned different things so it's okay. I like learning new things about others or new things in general," She answered him as she then tilted her head to teh side. "What's a god? Is that like mother nature? Or the fae that we make offerings to?" Yooa asked as she truly didn't know what god or anything about that. It wasn't something that was really talked about in her family or where she was. She really worshiped nature more than anything else. It was something that always protected and helped her. She scratched her head as she shrugged at his question. "I don't know either honestly - I just learn what I want and do what I think is good," Yooa shrugged as she looked at him. "Well in those escapable situations - wouldn't that just be self-defense? So it would still be good magic?" She asked him It was fun talking to someone about these kinds of things. She was usually the one being taught something or being corrected by someone - not actually having someone just listen and talk to about interesting things. "I think that if you don't kill the person that hurt you then you aren't bad because you were only defending yourself. So are people doing bad things when they are protecting someone from evil like the guy with the pointy horns or the scary monsters in the fairytales? Is the prince bad when he kills the dragon to save the princess?" Yooa asked him "You are new to the world? How long have you been here?" She asked him. SHe walked next to him a little surprised that he moved around her to walk closer to the street - probably worried that she'd hurt herself again.

Yooa shook her head. "Yes, they are - they poke you, do all the scary things to you with the shots, needles, and instruments," Yooa looked at him, shoulders shrugging up and her nose scrunching up. Yooa had never liked the doctors mainly because she had never really been taken to one. It was usually always holistic medicine or natural stuff that she would read about in books. "I know that they are good people and maybe nice - but it's still scary," She answered as she shrugged a bit. She smiled as he pointed out the fruit stall. She linked arms with him as they started towards the stall. "Yeah, coins are what you pay with around here. I have some as well so we should be good. Plus, you work at the infirmary so you'll get a lot of money from working there! And you don't get paid then you can complain to the bank people," Yooa answered with a laugh as they walked. "I love fruit and don't worry 'bout Rui. He doesn't really eat and I can just feed him some metal pieces later," She told him. She looked over to the stall as she was looking at what fruit looked nice. She glanced up at him when he handed her the pear. "Thanks, do you want to try the melon and strawberries? They are my favorite along with pears - do you like regular green pears or the golden ones better?" She asked him, taking the pear from him.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥ "hmm you were right by raising that question." Junkyu started, tilting his head to the side then blink a little, as he is thinking how he can explain his thought without offending Yooa. "well first, im sorry if what i told you about magic and miracles offends you its just from where i was created, we first learn that our miracles came from god. and god is good, everything that has done for his name sake is good. it glorifies him. so other source of "magic" is manipulation of something good.?" he wasn't sure of this himself so he end up laughing awkwardly "again, its just im new to the world, I havent met anyone yet with magic, but have you ever thought what else people can do to their good magic, once they got into unescapable situation?" its his turn to raise a question, he likes it when he has someone to exchange ideologies. "will they still choose goodness, or will they turn bad? if someone's gonna hurt them, will they choose to accept it or will they fight back until they know they were safe. and we all learn that killing is bad.. then is that mean their magic is bad?" they reach the door way and he let the woman to get out first as he followed quickly walking beside her, taking the outer part of the road to protect the woman from upcoming traffics or just so he could protect her from bumping into someone.

"doctors arent scary, I mean i had been there one day and i think they weren't bad. they are just tired. but that's all" he has thrown another reason why Yooa should not be scared of the place as that place intend to help but he let her decide for herself.. He simply smiled back at her inquiry, pointing out a fruit stall not far from where they are "i didnt know how the currency works in here, i have some coins in my pocket, as the first friend i have in this place, i would like to treat to a nice ehhrr fruit? and also the mechanical robot.. if he can eat?" his eyes went onto the dragon on her shoulder quick before returning his gaze back to the woman. "and of course i would like to spend my lunch time with you, it might end fast since i only got 45 minutes max? but it'll be nice to have company than to be alone." he guides her to where the stall is, looking at the variety of fruit which the stall is offering, they all look good.. he is familiar with them, he grabs a pear, and offer it to the woman "this one's the sweetest of all the fruit that is in here.. you deserve it for being brave" he said as he waits for her to accept it.

@♅ Kim Junkyu ¥ Yooa tilted her head to the side as she watched him look a bit puzzled when she mentioned the friend part. Did he not want to be her friend? But, then he nodded as to make it seem like he was okay with being her friend. She smiled. She was happy that she had another person around her that she could call a friend. "Oh, you were born with your magic? I was born with magic too - but I am still learning how to do it though," Yooa laughed as she then nodded to him. "Oh yeah, of course - I will call them miracles. Sorry - but magic isn't bad. If magic is bad, then would that make all my friends and myself who can do amazing magic, bad people?" Yooa asked as him as she looked at him. She sighed to herself as she raised up a hand to scratch the side of her head thinking about what he had said. She shook her head as if she was shaking the thoughts away.

Yooa nodded to him as she was relieved that no one would hear what she said. She really didn't want the scary doctor to mess with her or anything. "I know - but still, he's scary and heard some stuff," She felt him lower her hand from . He had a point that her doing that would bring more attention to them than either of them wanted. "You have a point about that," She answered about her raising up her hand to . She nodded as she started to walk with him to the entrance. It was nice of him to walk her to the door and entrance of the hospital so that she wouldn't feel anxious or scared about walking through the hospital by herself. "I don't know if I"ll ever be okay with walking through the hospital or coming to the infirmary - this place is pretty scary even if my friend works here," She answered him, giving him a look knowing that he was simply just being playful. She shook her head. "No, I didn't bring any food. I would probably just grab something from around or maybe find some fruits or stuff in the forest. I don't eat meat so it doesn't the forest is a buffet to me," Yooa laughed. He wanted to get some lunch with her? Really? "You really want to get lunch with me?" Yooa asked him. "If so, then lets go!" She smiled at him.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥ at the word friend the woman mentioned, Junkyu look at her confused. is it really ok if they were to be friends or is it some kind of manipulation. He was called a "friend" by the man who made him a slave so hearing this world again somehow make him doubt of this. But the woman in front of her seems nice and he learn not to judge others so he nods at her suggestions. He chuckled lightly when she said he can do magic, in this world this miracles are called magic. "the magic you saw is something i cant explain well. I was created using the same power and thus you can say i was born with it. although I prefer you call it miracle rather than magic. magic make it sound like i got this from some sort of dark entity." he explain his feeling in a way that the woman wont get offend, he hope. He smile at her, he choose to answer because there is some sort of aura to Yooa that she will annoy him till he say something so he did.

Again, she made him chuckle, although it alarmed him in a way because he thinks that people here are living with fear. "no dont worry, no one will hear what you just uttered. look around even though doctors wont have time to take a sip, how much more listen to a gossip. so its cool no need to fear." Junkyu gently hold her in the wrist and guide her to put it down to uncover . "besides dont do that, if you suddenly cover your mouth, you'll only attract attention." he added. When she answered she only came for her wound, Junkyu acknowledge it by nodding, then put the papers he was holding onto the table next to him before gesturing to the door "ill walk you out then, come on. so you wont get anxiety by just walking in here" he playfully told her. Listening to her stomach grumble for the nth time made Kyu chuckle, oh how fun his day has turn into because of the woman. "did you bring any food? if not why not come with me and let's get us something for lunch" he offered in their way out of the establishment.

@♅ Kim Junkyu ¥ Yooa shook her head as the other apologized. “You don’t have to say sorry or anything - it’s not a big deal,” Yooa told him as she sat there. She waited for him to answer how he did that with his magic as she then smiled at him once he proposed that they could greet each other again which in Yooa’s mind that meant he wanted to be friends with her. “Of course, we can be friends! You seem pretty nice - and you have that really cool magic! Which you still haven’t answered me about!” Yooa beamed at him with a slight pout in her tone and jut of her upper lip when she mention that he didn’t answer her about how he healed her wound. Yooa could be quite determined to find something out if she really wanted to know - or was curious enough especially if she was making new friends.

Yooa glanced at him as he patted her head as she smiled at bit at the small affection. She then gave him a look as he said that no one would hurt her in here. “I don’t know about that - the scary doctor might - not a lot of people like him,” Yooa blurted then covered while glancing around. “You didn’t hear that,” Yooa quickly added with a small nod. She glanced at the paper looking at what he wrote simply nodding to him that it was okay. She tiled her head to the side for second. “You do?” She asked, smiling to herself again. That made her happy to hear. Yooa hopped to her feet when she was told that they were done with the examination and treatment, a small relief rushed over her that she was finally getting to leave. Yooa shrugged her shoulders when he said if there was anything he could help her with. “Not really - I only came for this,” Yooa shook her wrist that he had healed in front of him. She started to head to the entrance when her stomach rumbled - reminding her that she didn’t eat breakfast this morning as she was too excited to go out and pick the fresh flowers this morning. She chuckled a bit at the sound, hoping that it didn’t do it again. “Sorry, I forget to eat this morning,” She laughed.

@❇︎ Yooa ¥ at her defending the little dragon Junkyu feels he needed to apologize, and so he did. "Im sorry for jumping into conclusion, pardon me, I havent been around for long" he vaguely answer.. no offense taken and again he offers a pure smile. "also ill keep that in my mind that he is your best friend. i hope we can exchange even a little greeting once we meet again. hopefully not inside the infirmary.." he added but brushes her question of how he has done it. He can say its a blessing bestowed upon him but he didnt know how to explain it to a way people would understand.



Junkyu's a little bit surprised at her reaction at his inquiry, he only asks for the basic information but it seems to him that this woman is being secretive in a way. he can feel fear surrounding her, embodied with great kindness his hand automatically pat her in the head. "Yooa, do not fret for no one will ever hurt you in here.. I just need to list down the patients I saw today for the purpose of patient records. to put your mind at ease Ill only write the thing you have said such as how you got the wound and what did I do to help you and thats it." he let her see what he wrote down earlier.. he doesnt want the woman to leave the place feeling uneasy. "and I also believe you are one good fairy" he quickly added. After writing a few notes, he made sure that the station are cleaned up, by taking soaked fabrics to the nearest trash bin. He look up to where the clock is and as he saw that it is near noon, "were all done in here.. let me walk you out of the room then? or is there anything i can help you with?" he asks, lunch break will come soon but the angel didnt mind helping the woman if she ever needs more.. after all Junkyu is goodness itself.

@♅ Kim Junkyu ¥ Yooa gave the other a look as he said for Rui not to hurt her anymore. "He didn't hurt me - it's more like a scolding. Rui's my best friend - he wouldn't hurt me," Yooa informed him as she gave him a small nod. She then stayed quiet again as he started to unwrap her wound. She closed her eyes not wanting to see any of the blood or mess that was left after when she had wrapped it up, but she did peek her eyes open to see what was going on though. She might not have liked the sight of blood - but she was still curious enough to see what was going on and what he was doing. She nodded as he spoke saying that if they left the shards in that would do more damage. "Oh, okay," She mumbled to let him know that she was paying attention and listening to what he was saying. She blinked as his eyes flashed a bright color and then returned to normal. "Wow, that was cool. How did you do that?" Yooa blurted as she looked down at her wrist only to see a bruise left now. SHe turned her hand over then around a bit as it didn't hurt at all anymore. SHe kenw that magic and stuff was used here at the infirmary since she had heard stuff about the magical bunny doctor that worked here - but she had never seen in action before.

She was starting to get up to leave since he was basically done treating her until he said that he would need her name and race. Her cheeks puffed up at the mention of paperwork and having to stay here at the infirmary longer. She didn't want to do that - but she also didn't want this nice guy to get in trouble for her being troublesome and stubborn. "Uh, my name is Yooa and I'm a fairy - but not like one of the mean and bad fairies. A good one so I'm not bad or criminal," Yooa didn't know who would see this so she wanted to make sure that it was clearly put down that she was good so no one came after her or anything.
