《A Mindful Relationship [Jensoo]》Chapter 3
Advertisement
"Excuse me, young lady, but can't you see that we are in the middle of something?" The woman, who didn't look that much older than thirty, crossed her arms. This woman has sass but I don't wanna say that 'cuz of the situation we're in right now.
"Ma'am, let's take this issue outside for the better of the other customers, please? Your creating an uncalled for argument." Lisa calmly suggested to the woman with a polite smile on her face. The woman didn't say anymore words and hesitantly made her way outside of the café followed by Lisa who was gently pulling her friend's wrist outside with her.
As for me and Chaeyoung, we wanted to see how this thing goes and how Lisa will handle this with her anonymous patience. She has never been this calm in a situation and I am currently shocked of what I'm witnessing today. So better make the best of it.
Me and Chaeyoung stood by the entrance of the café, not that far from where Lisa, the woman, and her friend are standing at. We can still clearly hear them from the distance. Lisa's and her friend's back were facing us so basically, I can't see the girl's face yet which was a bit disappointing because curiosity is killing me. But the show was still amusing as much because we can see how pissed the woman is right now.
"On which way can we end this calmly, ma'am?" Lisa asks her in the most calmest tone she could muster. She can't even do that to Chaeng and yet here she is talking to this woman with no violence in her tone whatsoever.
"Calmly now? Your friend here just spilled my drink which was extremely expensive, by the way, and even shattered the glass." The woman accusingly pointed to Lisa's friend who still had her eyes on the floor. Playing with the hem of her shirt at the meantime, looking so cute.

"I can clearly see that but you weren't hurt of any sort, right?"
"W-Well, no. But I really wanted that drink so what are you gonna do about it?" The woman pointed to the girl beside Lisa. For the first time, she lifted her head to meet the woman's eyes. But damn it, I couldn't see her face.
The woman was about to reach for the girl when Lisa swatted it away as if it was a pest. Me and Chaeyoung couldn't hold our giggles after witnessing that.
I'm now convinced that this woman had a talent for pissing Lisa off. The blonde almost looked like she'd punch her anytime with that clenched fist and teeth of hers. Her patience is already running thin and I don't know if I should be laughing about it.
"Please refrain from touching her, ma'am." Lisa says in between clenched teeth. If I was there, I don't even know if my teeth would still be intact. She's gritting them too hard.
"Oh? Why so? Does she have any disability of a sort?" The woman triumphantly smirked when Lisa's body tensed and her friend's as well.
So the girl has something going on, huh?
"She does?!" The woman feigned surprise and covered her mouth in astonishment. Almost looking like she's mocking them. "What could it be..? Hm..?"
And with that, Lisa has finally lost it. Her patience was already running short and that woman knew it but still continued on what she was doing. I praise her for being so confident about this actually. Lisa looked like she'll choke her anytime if it wasn't for her friend holding her arm, restraining her.
"I'm done with this shit already, Unnie!" Lisa looked at her friend then glared to the woman after facing her. "I tried being calm and you just made that vanish into thin air, ma'am. I seriously want to beat the fuck out of you right now but-." Lisa abruptly stopped when her friend gave her a stern look as if they were communicating by eyes. Or is it because they were soulmates by chance? Shit.

"Wh-What? Y-you wanna repay her?" Lisa looked confused for a second but then sighed. "B-but..." The girl shook her head then patted Lisa's head. "Fine..." Lisa says dejectedly.
She faced the woman again, the scowl on her face not leaving before speaking,
"Be lucky she's here or else I could've done something you would've regretted, ma'am."
The woman only smirked in return before laughing to herself in the most sassiest way I could think of. Not even Chaeyoung can beat her anymore.
And hell am I surprised that Chaeyoung hasn't even said word yet.
"Oh dear... is this how teenagers these days talk to the elderly? How disappointing... but, I'll take that repayment that your friend was talking about." A grin on her face formed while looking at Lisa's friend. She was deliberately staring at the girl. How much more if I will see the girl's face?
"It'll be in your bank account later on."
"Oh? A rich one, huh? You kids are saying that so casually while back in my days it was so hard to even earn money but oh well, I guess I'll accept it." The woman watched Lisa's face in amusement before looking at the girl beside Lisa again. Does she have something for the girl's face? She's been shamelessly staring at her for no reason.
"Is this conversation done already? I didn't want to listen to your lecture, just so you know." Lisa didn't give a fuck about this shit anymore. Everything about her movements and words shows it all but it only elicited a laugh from the woman in front of them.
"Your truly amusing, Lisa. This was an amazing conversation to have." The woman mused.
"H-how did you-." Lisa seemed shock about the woman knowing her name. Me and Chaeyoung were still standing there watching the whole exchange and I can say that this was totally entertaining except that I can't really see the face of Lisa's friend.
"I'll be on my way now. And if you were wondering what my name was, it'll be Irene for you." The woman turned around and swayed her hips while walking towards her car I suppose and oh my gosh did she have a fancy one.
But before she entered her car and drove off, she said something that I know will bother the shit out of Lisa.
"Oh! And also, thanks for the cash, little cuz."
"L-little cuz? What the fuck is she-." Lisa stuttered out. She faced her friend while the latter only stood there, readying herself for what's to come. "What?! She was your cousin?! Then how can she treat you that badly? Did she only start this argument for the money?"
The girl shook her head, no.
"She didn't?" The girl gave her a thumbs up in return. "Th-That's a relief then." Relief covered Lisa's pissed expression before she hugged the girl and as for the other one, she hugged back like who can resist Lisa's hugs? Chaeyoung can't even.
But when it comes to the kisses, that's another story.
"Should we go there?" For the first time in awhile, Chaeyoung questioned. I faced her then shook my head.
"I don't think so. Let's just wait for Lisa to go back. Let's get inside now."
I then dragged the taller person before we sat down on our booth again. Telling one employee to clean the mess up that some person made before waiting for Lisa and her friend.

8 87Iron and Wood - A Tale Of Empire and Clans
For centuries, the Midlands had been split into fragments. A once glorious, united Empire has become a shadow of its former self. Unity has not returned, and not for the lack of trying. The greatest of these successor states were the Li Dynasty to the south, the rulers of old, and the Emerald Empire to the North, with its vibrant vitality. Unity is the end goal, and both will sacrifice anything to attain this elusive dream. For unity would surely solve the conflict that had long plagued this once prosperous continent. The Ironwood Clan was a prime player. Some would consider them the ones holding the reigns to the horse named 'Unification'. Iron and wood were the backbones of civilization; similarly, the Ironwoods were the backbones of the Northern Empire, and by extension, the people of the Midlands. Their methods, as questionable as they might be, had strengthened the North. Yet, were they enough? In the midst of it all, a young Ironwood who had lost his path must once again find his way. For the sake of his own wellbeing; for the sake of his clan; and for the sake of the Empire and its subjects. However, is he willing to sacrifice for the good of all? Is he willing to condemn some for the sake of others? Is he willing to make the right, albeit harsh, decisions? Only the heavens would know. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, events and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Additionally, any views and beliefs expressed by the characters are not the author's own. The story is also not an endorsement of any actions taken within. The 'profanity' and 'sexual content' warning tags are there to be safe (and to leave room for potential future changes), but for now these two things are not inside this novel. This is my take on 'cultivation', though it might be somewhat disconnected from the general idea of the genre. Release schedule: Two chapters a week. The cover was created using wombo art. While I believe that creations using the app are in the public domain, if that is not the case, I will take it down.

8 158Summoning America
Entirely cut off from Earth, the United States finds itself in a scientific impossibility: the entire country, including the continental landmass and separated states and territories, was transported to another world. Unlike Earth, this new planet boasts phenomena unknown to science. Magic reigns supreme in this new region of the universe, bolstered by the natives' own scientific progression. Monsters roam wastelands and dungeons, subsisting off unfortunate travelers, local fauna, and sometimes even entire towns! Ambassador Samuel Anders is tasked with contacting the various nations and entities of this new world. Despite his best attempts at diplomacy, the arrogance and hostility of the natives prove to be an unnavigable barrier. War is the only alternative. Eventually, fears surface regarding an ancient evil: the Ravernal Empire. How will the United States handle the threats of this new neighborhood? What magical wonders will its adventurous citizens find? This Summoning Japan inspired work will follow the United States as it is summoned to a New World. The story will begin with the United States’ initial encounter with the Rodenius continent. Although starting similarly to the original story, Summoning America will begin to diverge greatly as the war against the Lourian Kingdom comes to an end. For the context of this work, I expect that you have already familiarized yourself with the original piece, “Summoning Japan” also known as “Nihonkoku Shoukan”.
