chapter 13

Y/N'S POV

His revelation hit me like a thunderbolt, leaving me stunned and speechless. Not normal human? What does he mean by that? Is he joking, or is there something more to his confession?

I struggled to find the right words, my mind racing to make sense of what he had just said. But as I looked into his eyes, I saw a sincerity that I couldn't deny.

"What do you mean you're not normal?" I finally managed to ask, my voice trembling with uncertainty.

He took a deep breath before he spoke again.

"I'm... different," he explained, his words measured and careful. "I come from a place far beyond what you know as normal."

"We have magical powers. During the war that broke this nation into four, we came to surface."

As Mr. Rude's revelations continued to unfold, I couldn't shake the feeling of déjà vu. His words echoed the passage of the book I was reading in the library that day. Could it be possible that everything written in that book was true? It all seemed like something out of a fantastical tale, yet here I was, faced with someone claiming to be a part of that very reality.

"We went across the forest and built our own kingdom, ARDOTOLIA. I am the king of that nation."

I couldn't deny the earnestness in Mr. Rude's voice, nor the intensity of his gaze as he spoke of his kingdom. There was a conviction in his words that made it difficult to dismiss his claims as mere fantasy.

But before I could voice any of these questions, Mr. Rude extended his hand towards me.

"I understand if this is hard to believe," he said softly. "But I assure you, everything I've told you is true."

I took a deep breath, trying to steady my thoughts. "It's just... a lot to take in," I admitted, finally breaking the silence. "I mean, how is it even possible?"

Mr. Rude nodded sympathetically, as if he had expected my reaction. "I know it seems unbelievable," he replied. "But I truly like you and I don't want to have any secret."

"I... I like you too," I stammered, my cheeks flushing with a mixture of embarrassment and warmth.

A small smile tugged at the corners of Mr. Rude's lips, and for a moment, it felt as if the weight of the world had lifted off my shoulders. Despite the strangeness of the situation, there was a comfort in knowing that amidst the chaos, there was someone who genuinely cared.

TAEHYUNG'S POV

"I... I like you too," I was on other level of happiness when she said it. The warmth of her admission filled me with an indescribable sense of euphoria, and I couldn't help but smile uncontrollably. In that moment, everything felt perfect, and I knew that something special had just begun between us.

"So, you can use magical powers," she said breaking the silence," can you like fly?"

"I can't fly, but I can teleport from one place to another," I responded with a chuckle, still reveling in the warmth of our shared moment. Her question brought a playful energy to our conversation, and I found myself even more drawn to her curiosity and sense of wonder.

"Teleportation? That's amazing!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with fascination. "Can you show me?"

 I nodded eagerly. With a slight focus, I extended my hand towards hers, inviting her to join me in the experience.

"Close your eyes and imagine the place you'd like to go," I instructed softly, a sense of anticipation building within me.

With a gentle surge of energy, I felt us dissolve into a cascade of shimmering light, and before I knew it, we had arrived at our chosen destination. 

As we opened our eyes, we found ourselves on the top of a cliff. The breeze gently blowing our hair as we took in the panoramic view spread out before us. The cliff wasn't excessively high, but it still offered a breathtaking perspective of the landscape below. Below us, a river making its way through the valley.

I watched as she approached the edge of the cliff, her eyes fixed on the mesmerizing flow of water below. There was a sense of serenity in the air, as if time itself had slowed down to allow us to fully appreciate the beauty of the moment.

"Isn't it incredible?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper as I joined her at the edge.

She nodded, a soft smile playing on her lips as she took in the scene before us. "It's like something out of a dream," she replied, her gaze still fixed on the mesmerizing sight below.

we sat there for hours, in each other's embrace. The darkness of night began to gradually give way to the soft glow of dawn on the horizon.

As the first light of morning painted the sky pink and gold, we stirred from our daydream, blinking in surprise at the sudden change in surroundings. It was then that we realized we had been sitting there throughout the entire night, unaware of the passage of time as we simply enjoyed each other's presence.
