"Wait. Where does Jiwoong live?" Yuri asked.
"I don't know." I said sadly.
"Do you have his number?"
"Yeah I do."
"Then use that."
"Alright I'll call him."
I snatched my phone out and dialled Jiwoong's number.
"Hello? Taeyeon-ah?"
"OPPA!"
"Did you need something?"
"Yes. You."
"I thought you're with Tiffany? And I'm sorry I'm not into incest. I have a girlfriend."
"GROSS. YOU'RE GROSS. NASTY! This is about Hayeon-ah and our parents!"
"Wait. What is this about Hayeon and our parents?"
"Come over and listen. Jessica is back in Korea and gave us some explanations."
"That bitch? Why the hell is she back?"
"Don't call Jessica a bitch."
"So now you're defending her?"
"YES BECAUSE SHE'S GIVING HAYEON AND OUR PARENTS BACK!"
"OUR PARENTS ARE DEAD!"
"You're so stupid. She's bringing them back you dumbo. Call uncle and tell him to come to Seoul. I'll message you my address and you better get your ass over here tomorrow."
"Is she some super natural being? How can she bring our parents back?"
"My brother is dumb as fuck! They're alive! Now get your ass here tomorrow!"
"What? They're alive?!"
"Yes. Now I'm going now. Bye."
So dumb. There's no such things as supernatural beings living in this world!
"He called Jessica a bitch didn't he?" Yuri asked.
"Yeah."
"You defended her."
"Yeah I did.
"Do you still love her?"
"No. It's just Jessica is helping us a lot and she's helping me. I don't love her romantically anymore. But I see her as an acquaintance."
"Then who do you love?"
"Tiffany." I answered without hesitation.
"So no Jessica?"
"No Jessica. For sure." I nodded my head.

"What happened after she broke up with you?"
"She left the café and ran away. I chased after her and she ran into her ex that took her virginity."
"Well let's be fair, you're now working with Sica."
"But this guy wants her back. I don't want Jessica back and I'm pretty sure she doesn't want me back."
"Ok. I have to go now. Bye Tae."
"Oh shit. We still have school!" I looked at the clock and it said 3:30.
---
I arrived at school right at 3:55. Luckily my apartment isn't that far away from the school. But it would be awkward when Tiffany comes to class. But she has too.
The professor soon walked into class and there was no sign of Tiffany. What has happened to her? I'm pretty sure Nichkhun left her. Unless he followed her? He wouldn't dare.
During the lesson I wasn't paying attention. I stared out the window and focused on some random things until I saw someone. She was just walking around the campus, admiring the view, Tiffany. Why did she skip class?
"Taeyeon?" My professor called me.
"Yes sir?" I stood up.
"Please repeat what I said." He demanded with a strict voice.
"Forgive me sir. I wasn't listening." I bowed to him and didn't stop until he gave me orders to sit down.
Once I sat down, I focused on Tiffany once again. Then there was a male who walked up to her and they exchanged smiles. I couldn't see who he was since he was facing the back.
"Sir. May I go to the bathroom?" I asked him.
He sighed and nodded "be quick."
I quickly ran outside to the yard and noticed Tiffany with a sad expression smeared all over her face.

I stepped closer but I couldn't recognize this male. I took out all my courage and walked up to this random male. Without looking at his face, I grabbed him by the collar.
"Stay away from her she's mine!" I shouted at him.
"Well aren't you suppose to be in class?" He smirked.
"O-oppa?"
"Well how are you Taengoo?" Jiwoong laughed.
"Umm. Sorry oppa." I laughed awkwardly.
"How many more minutes do you have of this class? Cause we need to talk about some serious shit."
"I have about 20 minutes."
"Ok good. I'll wait for you in the parking lot then we can go somewhere private. Bring Tiff along." Jiwoong said and after he walked to his car, leaving Tiffany and I alone.
"Hi?" I said to her.
"I'm not yours Taeyeon." She muttered and that sentence shattered my heart.
"You will be. I swear you will." I told her.
"Taeyeon-ah... what about Jessica?"
"Jessica isn't in the picture! It's only a picture of me and you! No Jessica! Just you!" I shouted at her.
"..."
"Can't you trust me? I don't like Jessica. I don't love her. She's only an acquaintance. She's helping me get my family members back. Of course I have to care for her. But you were my number one priority. You made me feel better. But now you're gone."
"..."
"Don't skip class. It's not good. You would need go work when we get married." I told her in a tone of seriousness.
I walked off without listening to her response. I didn't want to hear a rejection. I was serious. I love her and I want to spend my life with her.
---
It was the end of class and when I walked out I saw Jiwoong waiting with Tiffany. They were happily talking and it made me pretty mad. It's not like I'm jealous. Wait I am, but it's because they can have a regular conversation without arguing. While we have to argue all the time about our trust towards one another.
I walked up to them and waved. Tiffany just simply stared at me but Jiwoong waved back.
"Ok. We will go to a restaurant. There we can talk. Tiffany whose car do you want to be in?" Jiwoong asked.
"Yours." She said.
"Well thanks." I breathed out but I made sure she didn't hear.
"Ok! Then it's set."
"Wait." I told him.
"What?"
"We need Jessica here." I simply stated.
"Why?" Jiwoong started to get angry and I saw Tiffany glare at me.
"She has all the explanations. Text me the address while I will pick Jessica up." I told him and walked to my car.
"Ok I will." Jiwoong nodded in agreement but he didn't seem to happy. Also Tiffany, her face wasn't so bright either.
"WAIT. I'm going with you Taeyeon." Tiffany declared.
A/N:
sorry. I broke a promise yesterday. I said I will update again but I didn't. So right now, I'm going through a pretty rough time. It's nothing serious. It's a relationship and a friendship related problem. So right now I'm not at my best. I hope you will understand but I will update.
I also didn't break Taeny up because of my own problems. It's part of the plan for the book.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I love your comments!

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
