Deus Didymus: Sunder

Chapter Seven

Y/n's eyes widened at his little sister's appearance in front of his blade. Out of sheer reflex, Yujin extended her hand toward the blade, stopping it instantly. Realizing the sword's momentum had stopped, both siblings sighed in relief.

"Thank god you have telekinesis."

"What are you doing swinging your sword indoors?"

"I didn't think anyone would enter my room so suddenly like that."

Yujin shrugged, "I guess that's fair, but you know how mom would react if you were to be spotted with that in here."

Y/n nodded, "Yeah, yeah."

The boy dematerialized his weapon, jumping onto his bed, "So, what's up?"

"I was just wondering if you wanted some lunch."

"Uh, sure."

"Alright, me and my teammates are going to eat at the diner Hyewon unnie brought us to the other day."

"Oh you asked mom?"

"Yeah."

"I'll pass since you asked then. I don't want it to be awkward."

"Are you sure? Chaewon unnie is going to be there. You two were classmates before coming to the academy right?"

Y/n waved his hand, dismissing the invite, "You three can have fun. I'll eat something at home."

"Alright."

With Yujin out of the house, Y/n closed his eyes.

I think I'm due for a nap.

Yuri scrubbed the dishes in her hands as hard as she could, frowning at the stain's refusal to leave.

"Come on..."

The young girl continued to scrub, setting the plate down with a sigh, "I'm going to break this if I keep going..."

Yuri perked her head up at the sound of faint ringing from the store, prompting her to take off her apron.

She's here!!

Yuri jogged through the door only to sigh at the lack of her expected customer. Hiding her disappointment, Yuri greeted the three customers with a smile.

"Welcome!! You three were at the feast, right?"

Chaewon nodded her head prompting Yuri to lead the three to a seat, "I'll be back with your waters."

The young waitress walked into the kitchen, grabbing three cups and a pitcher, pouring the water exactly as she had been taught.

"Yuri ah! Do we have customers?"

"Eung!"

The source of the voice pumped his fist into the air "Alright!!"

With a smile, Yuri approached the three, "Would you like to start off with anything?"

All three girls shook their heads, prompting Yuri to return to her station at the podium. Though she was the only waitress, she enjoyed working. Even when the restaurant filled to the brim with customers, she treated the experience with enthusiasm.

Some nights would be difficult for the girl as she had to work the entire day, but such was her life. She couldn't afford to attend school, and the academy was out of the question for her. Alas, Yuri appreciated her life. Even if it wasn't the flashiest, she was glad to be safe.

Realizing her mind had wandered, Yuri rushed to the three girls, panicked, "I'm so sorry for making you wait!! What would you like to eat?"

Yujin smiled, "It's okay, I would like the hash browns with bacon and sunny side up eggs."
