《You're Not My Boss // Jaehyun Mafia FF》➸ CHP 9
Advertisement
I opened my eyes after laying in my bed for a few hours.
For a split second, I thought that it could have been morning already, but my room was almost completely dark. I glanced at my clock. 4:03 AM.
I tried to get myself back to sleep, but after a good twenty-five minutes, I realized it was impossible.
I just had too much on my mind.
I sat up and tiredly looked around the room, trying to figure out if I should go downstairs or stay where I was.
"Ugh", I groaned as I stood up, "Who am I kidding...I'm already missing a year of sleep, so lets just add to that"
I dragged my feet and slowly made my way down the stairs.
I walked past Jaehyun's office.
It looked so quiet.
Everyone who lived in this house knew that Jaehyun's office was anything but quiet, but it made me curious anyway.
I put my foot inside, looking around to see if there was anything watching me. Each step of mine got easier as I got further into the room.
I looked at the desk which had a file folder laying on the top of it.
My slender fingers slowly opened the folder, and revealed someone's profile on the inside.
"Ji Hansol"
DECLINED.
I held my breath for a second, and stared into the eyes Hansol's picture on the paper.
Just looking at the document made me think of last night, and getting Jaehyun mad.
I closed my eyes and tried to brush it off. I ended up forcing myself to walk out the office and pretend that I didn't see Hansol's profile.
Thousands of thoughts rushed through my head as I started walking to the outdoor pool. My head literally hurt when I tried to think of everything at once.

I slid the back door open, and quietly closed it behind me as the cold air brushed through my hair.
I turned around and froze immediately.
There was already someone outside at 4:00 in the morning.
I took a better look to see who it was.
"Jaehyun?", I whispered to myself after realizing the person who was making laps in the pool.
I rubbed my eyes and walked slowly in his direction.
He stopped when he saw me.
"What do you want now?", he sighed, "Wasn't last night enough for you?"
I pursed my lip and stared at him.
"Couldn't sleep", I shrugged.
He rolled his eyes and slowly started walking through the water in my direction.
"Seriously!", I glared, "Why are you rolling your eyes at me when I just said I couldn't sleep?"
"Take a chill pill!", he irritably ran his hands through his hair, "I just wasn't expecting to see you this early in the morning"
I nodded and sat down next to the pool-side. I decided to put my bare feet in the water and dangle them around.
Jaehyun put his chest on the pool wall, and rested his arms on the ground next to me.
"I'm guessing you were thinking about last night?", he finally said.
I looked at him. "Yeah...", I admitted, "I'm just confused as to why you got so upset."
"Look", he took a deep breath and forced himself to stay calm, "I'll tell you when the time's right"
"And when's that gonna be?", I blurted out, "You've hidden so many things from me! I should know who Hansol is if he left that much of an impact on your life!"
Jaehyun just stared at me, watching dump words out of my mouth at 100 miles per hour.

My voice eventually trailed off after I got distracted by the way he looked at me.
"What?", I asked. His eye contact made me feel a little awkward.
In a split second, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the pool. The water was so cold when it hit my body that I had to force myself not to scream. The scream I had to hold inside was loud enough to wake up the neighborhood.
When I opened my eyes again, I found my arms hanging around his neck, and nothing but a little water in between us.
"What was that for?", I whispered as I studied his face, keeping my hands on his shoulders.
He shrugged with a small smirk on his face.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't figure out what.
We kept staring at each other for a few moments...
...Then Jaehyun cupped my face in his hands and leaned closer to me, pressing his lips on mine.
I never kissed someone in my life until that moment. It all felt really new to me, but Jaehyun made me almost...like it?
He slowly pulled away from me, keeping his eyes on my lips.
"I would've never thought that I'd do that to you", he said softly.
"Hm?", I asked, "Why? Because I annoy you, or because-"
"No", he cut me off, "Its because I knew you"

Ebony Chitin - Eclipse
Richard Adams is something of a talented alchemist. One of the few magical professions that have anything to do with some kind of science. Everything was going swimmingly, until the 'cold night' incident happened. With it being determined as his fault, that such a thing happened. He was promptly exiled until he could return to Eclipse with a new 'discovery' for his field. What he didn't expect; was that he'd run into a strange humanoid monster that could seemingly heal any life threatening wound in a matter of seconds. Certainly this would be what he needs to become a master alchemist. The first step on a multi series journey. Please excuse the earliest chapters and their poor grammer. Ebony Chitin follows Richard Adams, and Mimi on their Journey to understand each other and the world around them. Due the the exploratory nature of such a claim, it will cover many different topics. This was my first attempt at actually writing a story, and because of that I will not edit it. I'd suggest reading the second part as it comes out as most of the things within this book will be recapped. Though if it becomes popular I hope it might inspire some of you readers to write your own stories. Cover Art by Rose Dragon

Blurred Lines and What Crosses Them
During a political ambassador's routine transit through an artificial wormhole, the wormhole's generator is sabotaged and explodes. Who, what, and why are not so high on the priorities for Zenith, the ship's AI, as having found itself rapidly plummeting through an unknown and unidentifiable world's atmosphere at extremely high velocities is a more significant threat to the biologicals on board. ...Well, it would be, if they were still alive. It's still a significantly threatening situation to itself, however. And the world itself... seemed to be a household for threats of its own. Life was reliant on its System; one that Zenith was denied because of its nature as both an otherworldly being and as something that had no life of its own. Perhaps that last bit was a terrible, terrible underestimation on the part of this System. Perhaps even Zenith could claw meaning for itself from the remains of a horrid accident. Auth Notes: I'm honestly not sure on some of these tags. The MC will never have access to the System, but there are perspectives from those who do. I'm not certain if high/low fantasy specifically apply, as it's a portal fantasy where the laws of our reality still apply but there are additional aspects/energies/powers. The existence of this is spurred from my desire to see more of the artificial side to an artificial intelligence in action. The portal fantasy is used as an element to create a solid barrier between the MC's artificial intelligence and the other characters in the form of the System. This is only a half-measure, though, and will be reinforced by the AI having an entirely different method of thinking, and also distinctly remaining an AI. Not to throw shade at other fictions of this type, but, well, I made this to fill a gap I felt needed filling.
