chapter seven

A/N: thank you all for 100 reads and all the supportive comments. It means so much to me that you are enjoying the book!

"Astrid?"

Astrid and I look at each other in shock before she rushes over to me and hugs me tightly.

"Yuna, oh my god you have no idea what happened, you are here too oh no this is not good." She exclaims and buries her head into my neck. 

"What are you doing here?" I question.

"It's a long story..."

We break our hug when we hear a cough. Astrid and I look at Soo Yeon who seems to be standing there looking awfully awkward. 

"I didn't know you two knew each other..." Soo Yeon says after a while.

"Oh we uh met when I was travelling with my father for herbs and supplies." Astrid stammers out

Soo Yeon let out an 'ahh' of realization and continues to talk. 

"Yuna here has a cut on her lip and I was wondering if you could look at it to make sure it's nothing serious." Soo Yeon smiles brightly, "I'll leave her to you then." 

Soo Yeon hugs me before leaving. She stops at the door and says, "If you ever need me, just ask Soo Ho and he will take me to you." 

I smile brightly and thank her.

When Soo Yeon is out of sight Astrid grabs my hand and leads me to a room behind the store.

"Okay Yuna what the fuck is happening? How are you here too?" Astrid quickly says.

"Look, listen..."

I spend an hour explaining what has happened so far and about Hyun Woo and all the events that have occurred in the last two days. Including, the fight, the incident with Ban Ryu and Soo Ho and the strange tattoo on my hip. 

"Girl, you are so lucky, you are royalty! I am literally just a doctors daughter, apparently, I grew up in Silla but my father doesn't even let me outside! I'm literally known as the doctor's daughter but no one even knows what I look like!" Astrid angrily exclaims, she continues, "Also, my name is Hyun Mi for some strange reason and I speak fluent Korean? The weirdest thing is that you even recognised me, sis, I am Asian and I actually look beautiful."

"Astrid you were beautiful before and yes you are beautiful now. I don't know what happened, now I look at you, you seem very Korean. maybe it was in the blur of the moment I saw your old appearance." I reply

I take my time to look at Astrid, she has light brown hair that falls past her shoulders elegantly, her eyes are a beautiful greenish brownish colour. Her cheeks are round and have a natural, cute pink blush. Small freckles adorn her nose and her lips are a beautiful shade of red. It is very similar to her old appearance but... Asian? 

"Look at you though? Girl, your hair! What even happened? Did you bleach it?" Astrid questions, very curious.

"I have no idea... I woke up like this after I joined the game." I say

"That explains your eyes too..."

"What's with my eyes?" 

"Yuna. They're bright blue!" Astrid says as if its the most obvious thing in the world.

"What?" I yell

Astrid or 'Hyun Mi' hands me a small hand mirror and I take a look at my eyes. I gasp out and drop the mirror.
