HERA"So what's up?" Ayu asked as we both sat next to each other, far from Jiroo and Liam's table after I healed Liam's hand and Mrs. Teyeon started her class but I didn't have any intention of listening as I got curious about Ayu's feelings for Liam. "But wait, first of all, I want to clear everything, I liked Liam before, but now I do have a love interest and it's not Liam nor anyone in the squad.""Well actually, I don't care if you like Liam or not because I'm confident that Liam only has her eyes on me.""Yeah, too much confidence but there's no lie." She said chuckling and we both leaned back on our chairs. "So tell me, what do you wanna talk about?""Are you also an assassin just like Liam and Jiroo?" I asked and side glanced at her. She twitched her lips and shrugged her shoulders. "I am the one who brought Liam to our world.""Oh, I see." I deadpanned and looked at Jiroo and Liam's side when Liam talked too loudly, garnering the attention of some of the students and Mrs. Teye
LIAMHeavy breathing that became audible, chest rapidly rising and falling, trembling hands, sweaty palms and fuzzy head. Everything is so confusing right now. The wave of nausea that hit me was so intense that I badly want to empty my stomach as my vision became blurry.Demian– no, my father, if it's true that he's really my father because all my life, I haven't had a thought that I'm adopted, is waiting for me to hand my girlfriend to him with a triumphant smile plastered on his lips.Isn't it funny that I'm adopting everyone but it turns out that even myself was adopted? That's so fucked up.My body is trembling violently that I almost drop Hera on the floor but Demian or whoever he is in my life gets a hold of her to prevent her from falling. I bit my bottom lip hard to stop my lips from quivering and kept my gaze at Hera's face, trying to ignore those specific brown orbs watching us now and just gauging the situation.Hera clenched her eyes hardly and she slowly let go of my shir
LIAM"We're here." Jiroo said as he parked the car in front of the main door where Mina and Cubby were waiting for us then he pushed the door open on his side before he ran to the other side to take his girlfriend between his arms."What hap– oh my God! Liam, what happened to your face?!" Cubby asked when she saw my face covered with my own blood but I only offered her a weak smile. "Mina? Can you please get the first aid kit in the kitchen and treat Liam's cut?" She asked without even tearing her gaze away from my face and Mina walked closer to me to grab my hand and pulled me cautiously inside the house."Let's go, Liam. I need to treat your bruise, that big cut on your forehead and lips needs a quick treatment."I'm fine." I said weakly and smiled at Mina softly. "C'mon Liam, you already lost too much blood." Mina insisted as her gaze went down to my shirt that got soaked and covered with my own blood. "We'll take care of them, you need to get treated first." Jonas said and he cu
HERALiam hugged me like his life depended on it and his body trembled while crying loudly against my shoulder. He hugged me so tight that I couldn't breathe and I had to smack his head just for him to loosen the hug and he tipped back."Hera!" He cried and pulled me again for another hug. "H-Hera!" "Yes, I know, I'm Hera." I said, chuckling, encircling my arms around his head and pulled him closer. "You okay?" I asked, almost whispered in his ear."Y-yes, I'm r-really sorry that I couldn't save you." "Shh, I'm fine. You don't have to worry." I cooed and leaned back to cup his face. "Are you sure you're..." I stopped talking when I saw in my periphery what's behind Liam and my left eyebrow automatically raised when I saw Nami's black wings that's now slowly hiding in. I know that she's a demon daughter, but I wasn't expecting that she had wings? That surprised me, to be fucking honest.Liam looked over his shoulder while still sobbing and sniffling then he looked back at me. "You al
HERA"Hera..""I d-don't know what I'm g-going to do. I d-dont-.""Shh.. just cry as much as you want, we're here." Ivana said with her soft voice and she helped me to stand on my feet and I immediately turned to her and engulfed her, burying my face on the crook of her neck."It's ok Hera, you can tell us what happened, I'm sure it's not about the girl inside Liam's room." Selene said while rubbing my back."Let's find a place to talk this out, we're not going to let Hera cry in public, she's too precious for everyone's eyes and they might think that her heart got broken by some tall girl with bangs." Ceres said and we all chuckled.The four of us walked to the park nearby and I sat on the wooden bench, Ivana sat next to me while Selene and Ceres decided to settle themselves on the grass and looked up to me, waiting for whatever was I'm going to say.I released a deep and shaky sigh as I tried to calm myself and stared into the big fire ball that reminds me of Liam, my big sunshine a
LIAMThe lines of glares of the sun rays that shot for my eyelids awaked me, my hand instinctively searched for the familiar warm body beside me but when I felt nothing but emptiness, I shot my eyes open and saw no one, I stared at the empty space for a second, blinking away the sleep in my eyes and I slowly sat up without tearing my gaze away from Hera's space."Hera?" I called but no one responded. I lazily dragged my feet out of the bed and walked to the bathroom. "Babe?" I called again and knocked on the door three times but still, no response from her.Suddenly, the nervousness arose inside me, but I still tried to calm myself and just decided to take a quick shower to remove the smell of sex in my body, prepared myself for school and wear simple clothes before I stepped out of the room and went down straight to the kitchen."Morning, have you seen Hera?" I asked cooly, trying to hide the nervousness inside me as I occupied the seat next to Jiroo who seemed so groggy this morning
LIAM"Why would she do that?""I don't know her reasons but Teyeon just texted me about this before I went here.""That's fucking ridiculous." I said and stood up from my seat abruptly but Jiroo and Ayu tugged me down again. "What?!""You don't get to show your abrupt attitude in front of the pregnant woman or you'll stress them out." Ayu scolds and she looks back in the front and bow her head lightly to our professor to apologize on my behalf."If you don't want to believe me, why don't you ask her for yourself?" Mrs. Tiff suggested as she started to hand out the exam papers one by one. "And one more thing, you guys ran out yesterday and Teyeon also told me that the three of you will be gone for this day because of family matters so I'm surprised seeing you here.""We already settled everything last night." Jiroo replied with a warm smile plastered on his lips. "Sorry for not informing Mrs. Teyeon that we will attend the class for today." "It's fine, good thing I have extra copies o
LIAM"They are really gone, Liam.""Who?" I asked stupidly, although I clearly know who are he talking about."Liam, aren't you too stupid for asking that question?" Tom asked with a glint of annoyance on his voice.I laughed mockingly and rose up from the couch. "They were just wandering around, later tonight they will all return." I said with full certainty in my voice then I shifted my gaze to Nami. "Take a rest Nami, Jonas will be–.""He won't.""..back later." I finished even if Nami tried to cut me off. "Please tell Hera when she arrives, that I am just in our room." I said dismissively and was about to walk upstairs but a hand stopped me from doing so and pulled me back down on the couch. "Sean–.""Hera left you! Accept it and stop pretending like she didn't!" Sean snapped, his bloodshot eyes filled with anger and tears threatening to fall down from them. "S-she left you and Ivana left m-me too.""Sean, stop overthinking. They are still here, didn't Daren and Yael look for them?
