"Seok-kyung what were you thinking" I kinda yell at her in the bathroom " Junghwa stopped being so worried it's fine I can deal with any punishment my dad gives" she answers while washing her hands. "Seok-kyung you know your dad will be very mad you turned in a blank test sheet, if anything happens and your dad punishes you and Seok-hoon comes right to my house." I look at her worried. "I will if anything happens let's go now" she smiled at me.
I link arms with her as we walk out of the bathroom.

We were in seok twins bedroom for a study I will miss anna Seok-kyung who was on her phone while I studied and listen to Anna. "Seok-kyung can you please put away your phone" Anna said politely to me and Seok-hoon looked up to Seok-kyung "sure" she answers but doesn't put her phone away. Anna sighs he walks over to the shelves and looks through one of the books flipping all the papers "why is this book so clean?" "Aren't you at the top of your class" she added. Seok-kyung smile drops she angrily wakes to Anna and grabs the book from her hand and throws it on the ground. "Is being rude your act?" Seok-kyung looks at her angrily
"I checked to see how good you are because you refused to take a level test" Anna looks at her
"You want to be worth your pay?" Anna looks at her confused. "Then just spend your allocated time here and leave. Like all the other tutors" then Seok-kyung got a call from Eunbyeol she picks it up "hey Eunbyeol... For real?" She says then walks out of the room. Me and Seok-hoon look at each other, we got up "let's take a break" he says we got up and left the room.

"So what did you say?" I just got done cleaning the table until I hear Seok-kyung she's supposed to be studying with the tutor. "You said that?" I walk a bit to see her on the phone. "No, you did well. Well done" she says I walk over to her and she looks "I'll call you later" she says then puts down her phone. "Aren't you too relaxed just because your exams are over?" I asked her "you shouldn't be rude when a tutor's here." She looks at me blankly "turn off your phone and concertrate." She walks over to me"I'll do as I see fit" she says "Seok-kyung" I lightly yell. Seok-hoon and Junghwa walk down the stairs as I was about to follow Seok-kyung I turn to Seok-hoon and Junghwa "Seok-hoon. Is something wrong with Seok-kyung" I ask him grabbing his wrist.

"Try to think and figure out why Seok-kyung would be like that." He says calmly then removes my hand from him and walks to Seok-kyung with junghwa following him she politely apologize with his acts and says they are a bit stressed about the exams and runs off to Seok-hoon.

We were all talking until we hear Mr Joo yell " Ms. Yang" we all wall out of the room "Ms. Yang. Whose shoes are these?" He yells "the tutor's here." She says "the entrance is a mess throw this away now." We all walk behind Mrs Shim to see Mrs Joo give a Ms yang the show.
"Shes the kids new math tutor" Mrs Shim say. Anna looks at the shoes and then Mr Joo. "Okay. Please do your best" he says looking mad. Anna looks a bit shocked then way to grab her shoes "I should go now" she bows and leaves to the door. Mr Joo throws the grabbers "must she teach the kids here?" He yells " you know I hate brushing with outsiders. "Shoes that could've stepped on anything. And who knows what she touched before coming in my house."
He kicks the slippers " throw out everything she contaminated" Seok-kyung smirks looking at the slippers "throw out the cup she used. Clean the bathroom again" he added "yes sir" Ms yang said and walks to do the chores.
"Let's talk later, honey" Mrs Shim says calmly. Seok-kyung and Seok-hoon smiled at each other and we all walked to their bedroom.
...
We were on our phones until Mr Joo called the twins down I looked at Seok-kyung worriedly "I'm coming with you guys" I said we walked down stairs into Mr Joo study "you here too Junghwa" he says I nodded lightly too scared to answer he locks the door after all of us came in. I grabbed Seok-kyung hand tightly and see looks at me, she also grabbed Seok-hoon hands for comfort. "Joo Seok-kyung" he says.
"I just heard a very unbelievable story. You turned in a blank answer sheet at today's exam, is that true" Seok-hoon looks at her "what is he talking about, it can't be true father" he tried to convince him.
"I did not ask you, Seok-hoon." He looks at his son. "Answer, Seok-kyung. Until yesterday, you got full marks in the first place." "But today, a blank answer sheet?" He says calmly. "It's not true, is it. I misheard, didn't I?" Seok-kyung shakily says "it's true" I and Seok-hoon looked at her. "I don't want to go to cheon ah arts high school. That's why I did it". "what" Mr Joo said."Seok-kyung!" Seok-hoon yelled. "I don't want to be a classical singer, I don't want to sing. It's what you want, not me" I looked at her giving her a face to stop.

"I believed our family should have a famous classical singer" he said. "That was my goal for a very long time."
She walked a bit closer to her father "that doesn't mean I should be a classical singer" me and Seok-hoon stopped her from going closer. "You never once asked me. What I wanted to do" she yelled. "I hate singing on stage more than death itself" she added. "I've had enough" she sounded like she was about to cry. " I hate school and singing and I hate this house too! I feel so suffocated and it's killing me!" She screamed. "Then what do you want to do? My dear daughter" Mr joo said walking closer. "Send all 3 of us abroad" she said crying. "Abroad? Do you want to study abroad?" Mr Joo replied to her. He took a big sigh "we've been too distant, haven't we? We should spend some time together." He grabbed Seok-kyung making her stop holding hands with his and drag her to the vault. "Mr Joo It's my fault" I said trying to stop him. Seok-hoon goes in front of Mr Joo "I should've watched Seok-kyung. I'll scold her so this never happens again" he said pleading to him.
"So please-" Mr Joo cuts him off "this is too much noise. You know how much I dislike it when a man whines and grovels." He said looking at his son. "I will make her change her mind, so please" he slaps him to run to Seok-hoon helping him. Mr Joo lets go of Seok-kyung and walks over to Seok-hoon. "I warned you." He says " I said I hate noise. Did you forget you must obey my rules?" He said angrily.
"You know what happens when you disobey those rules?" Seok-hoon snapped " you promised you wouldn't hit her!" He yells.
" Hit me instead if you want!" He walks over to Mr Joo.
"If that's what you want, I must do so." He talks about calmly. "Your twin sister did wrong it could be a beautiful thing for the brother to pay instead." Seok-kyung looks at her father with tears in her eyes." He opened the selves and Seok-kyung went running to him he pushed her to the floor I went to her shocked he did that I kneel down to her to see if she had any injuries "appa. Appa I'm sorry" she pleaded.
"Mr Joo please don't do this, Seok-hoon says that you're sorry." I look at him with pleading eyes he didn't look at me.
Mr Joo opens the door " come with me" Mr Joo says pulling Seok-hoon in. "oppa" Seok-kyung cries she walks to the door trying to stop him, her father just pushed her out and I catch her about to fall myself but luckily we didn't fall.
She went running to the door yelling her brother's name. She banged on the door" oppa are you okay, answer me!" She falls on her knees and stays rubbing her hands together " appa I'm sorry!" She yells "please stop" she bangs on the door more "I said stop" crying and screaming. She starts looking around the room, she grabs one of her father's golfing sticks and starts hitting the door causing it to have a couple dents. I ran to Seok-kyung and grabbed her trying to pull her away. "Seok-kyung stops your going to hurt yourself" I say crying pulling her away but she still tries to continue hitting the door with the golf stick.
...
We were walking out of the study helping Seok-hoon walk. We all saw Mrs Shim looking shocked "what's wrong, Seok-hoon are you sick?" She sounded worried. "Where were you this time?" Seok-kyung said raising her voice. "You always leave at just the right time, as if you know!" She said looking at Mrs Shim dead in the eyes. " "What do you mean? Is something wrong tell me" she went to help but Seok-kyung pushed her arm away. "Do you even care about us?" Seok-hoon said. "Get out of the way" Seok-kyung said and we continued to walk to the Seok-hoon room. Mrs Shim looked shocked.

Tales of Ordinary, Completely Unremarkable Contractors
"Where life had no value, death, sometimes, had its price. That is why the mercenaries appeared." - Artur Xerxes, in A Century of Disappointment: Memoirs of a Travelling Dwarf It's never too difficult to land contracts for a set very specialised skills in a continent teeming with werewolves, vampires, giant leopards, undead and, god forbid, elves. The difficulty comes when these contractors find themselves suffocated in the dense atmosphere of this world's rigid - and mostly unfair - rules; death, suffering and misfortune await those unwilling to sacrifice to bend these in their favour. In this non-linear plot, you will observe a scarred and deformed farm girl cashing her first bounty posters, a seemingly ordinary barmaid at a tavern in the bustling centre of a sprawling, corrupt city and an enigmatic leader of a firm specialising in dealings any other would consider suicidal. Watch them all take everything to the next level at every available opportunity, and then feel dread at the thought that this still might not be enough to halt the physical embodiment of doom about to do what it does best Please, feel free to review and comment! Any sort of feedback can help me become a better writer and write more engaging stories for you. I used to update once every 3-5 days, but this rewrite is taking much too long...I do hope it will be worth it.

Greys II - Ghosts
There he stood, dark eyes, dark hair, beautiful in the most devastating of ways. It scared me how little he had changed, his hair was longer and black, his frame thinner, like he hadn't eaten since I last saw him. His eyes were different, lacking something they had always held before, lacking anything really, and yet he was the same. He looked weak, but I knew he wasn't. "Hi, angel."His voice was just as dead as his eyes. It sent a shiver up my spine. That was the reason I felt sick, that was the reason he seemed different. He was dead, and as much as I wanted to hate him, I was sad he was empty, sad he wasn't the same man anymore."Hello, Gabriel."My voice came out softer than I would have liked, the words burning my tongue. But it didn't matter, I got the desired effect even if the volume wasn't there. He flinched, his eyes widening, his eyebrows twitching up and together, his jaw setting for just a moment. But then it was gone and he looked away, death settling back in his eyes, in the lines of his face.» ✦ «#2 in Angel Romance#3 in Demonology#11 in Thriller#Mature, 18+ for all the reasons. Not a YA novel (again).**Due to disturbing themes, violence, depression, language and literally everything else, this is not for the kids. Ghosts is darker than Intentions. But you need to live in the dark to appreciate the light...or at least, the lighter grays 🖤🖤
