《My Cruel Husband 1 || Jeon Jungkook》31

~Jungkook's office~
Jungkook was doing his works like always when suddenly Areum walked in with a cup of hot coffee in her hand.
"Are you busy?" She asked before putting it on his table.
He didn't even put his head up and just continued his own business.
"As you can see.." he replied, still doing his works.
"Where's Taehee?"
"She takes a week off." He simply answered while she rolled her eyes secretly.
"Just because she's the CEO'S daughter doesn't mean she can take days off whenever she wants." She said, annoyed.
"Don't say that. She just lost her brother."
She remained quiet for a few seconds, feeling a little bit sorry.
"Why did he die?"
"Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, it's the most common cause of heart-related sudden death. That's what the doctor said." He explained.
She turned blank for seconds hearing the complicated disease name but then shrugged it off. It was none of her business though.
"Anyway, isn't it good that she's not around? We—"
"I'm really busy. Why don't you do your work?" He asked as polite as possible.
"Fine.." she pouted before stepping out from his office.
This might sound creepy, but Jungkook felt like someone or something was giving him a death glare whenever Areum sticked by his side though when there was no one around.

Since you still didn't have the courage to step into your house, you two decided to stay in the hotel for a few more days. You reassured Jungkook that you would be fine by yourself but still, he refused to go.
Jungkook arrived at the late evening, but earlier than usual.
"I've found a new place to move in." You said to him while lying on the bed with a laptop in front of you.

He was loosening his tie at that moment.
"Are you serious? You really want to move out?" He raised his eyebrow while looking at you whose eyes were glued on the laptop screen.
"You don't have to move out with me. I can take care of myself." You replied, answering the same question with the same answer over and over again.
"Don't you feel that it's such a waste to do so?" He questioned before sitting across you on his bed.
The house was big and beautiful. The gorgeous modern design of it always made him calm especially at night time. Everything was perfect, except that tragic incident that happened in that house which left you traumatized.
"Jeon Jungkook, you don't understand my feelings.." you sighed.
"How can I not understand when I've lost both my parents." He stated which made you turned speechless in an instant.
"I'll move out with you."
"HUh?" You turned to look at him in disbelief.
"But still, we need to pack our stuffs. We can't just leave everything in that house."
"But I don't wanna go back to that house."
"Just one day. We are going to finish everything in one day before moving out the next morning."
After that, silence filled the room. No one seemed to know what to say more until Jungkook suddenly thought one.
"Um, by the way, it's time for dinner."
"Oh yeah. I'm going out to have dinner with my friends tonight. I almost forgot." You facepalmed, got off from the bed and searched for nice clothes to wear.
"So, you're not eating with me?" His eyes dropped.
"Yeah. It's good right? You can be with Areum instead." You said before walking into the bathroom.
"Looks like I'm going to eat jajjangmyeon tonight.." he purposely said it loud near the bathroom door but received no response from you.
"...or maybe ramyeon."
Still, he didn't get any response from you. He definitely got ignored.
"Tsk.. I'm eating out by myself. I don't care anymore." Jungkook grabbed everything that he needed before walking out from the room.

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
