Chapter 2 - The Past

'Yun Chen? Why is he here?' Eun Ae couldn't help but puzzledly think. Eun Ae and Yun Chen's families are far from friends. They even schemed against her mother.

10 years ago at Yun Chen's Home

Yun Chen's house was a beautiful mansion. His family was very rich, so It wasn't a surprise that they lived in luxury. The inside of the house looked just as good as the outside, if not, even better.

"Yun Chen darling... I have a task for you." Inside Yun Chen's room, Yun Chen's mother Yun Luo called out to him with a sly smile. She had recently found out about Kim Yuna's daughter, Eun Ae. She thought that if Kim Yuna saw that Yun Chen and Eun Ae were on good terms, she would be more comfortable with his family. Once Kim Yuna was comfortable enough, she would strike in killing both of them. She would then send her men to take control of the Medical Shop. She, of course, wouldn't tell Yun Chen this, he would never agree to that.

Yun Chen looked up from his toys as he walked towards his mother with a blissful smile. Whatever his mother wanted him to do, he would happily agree.

Yun Luo smiled as she lovingly hugged Yun Chen. "Let's go out today, hun. There's someone I want you to meet." She maintained eye contact with him as she spoke. Yun Chen titled his head as he gazed at his mother.

At Peachwood Park

It was a lovely day. The sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly. Eun Ae was walking hand in hand with her mother, listening to birds when she heard a loud tune. Kim Yuna looked at her phone and sighed.

"Eun Ae, go play. I have to return this call then we can go home, Okay?" Kim Yuna bent down in front of her daughter while waving her ringing phone in her hand.

"Mm... Okay, Mommy." Eun Ae smiled adorably at her mother. She then skipped off to go play on the swings. Seeing her daughter leave Kim Yuna slowly answered her phone. She held it to her ear without saying a word. Quickly after, she heard a frantic voice. "Master, It seems we have another problem!"

Eun Ae sat on the swings as she swung her legs playfully. When she looked over and saw her mother still on the phone she sighed. Just when she was about to get down, someone clumsily pushed her, making her swing move a little. She turned her head back and saw a boy her age smiling at her. Eun Ae raised her brows.

"Who are you?" Eun Ae looked at him impassively.

When their eyes met Yun Chen blushed and avoided eye contact. When he remembered what his mother told him to say. He gently shook his head and looked back at the girl.

"I'm Yun Chen. You looked lonely so I wanted to give you company." Yun Chen smiled as he perfectly recited his mother's words.

Eun Ae skeptically looked Yun Chen up and down. Her mother told her not to trust to easily but It would be nice to have a friend. Chen Yeyi selfishly took all her former friends, so she was indeed lonely.

From the sidelines, Yun Luo smiled as she gently clasped her hands. She took this opportunity to go over to Kim Yuna who had just ended her phone call.

"Hi! I came over because it looks like our kids are getting along quite well... I'm Yun Luo and that's my son Yun Chen." Yun Luo smiled alluringly as she pointed over towards the kids. Kim Yuna looked up at Yun Luo then to where she was pointing. Seeing her daughter having a good time she radiantly smiled. Seeing Kim Yuna's reaction, Yun Luo continued on.

"You know, my poor little Yun Chen hardly has any friends. He's so shy!" She giggled as she shook her head.

"Ah... " Kim Yuna couldn't help but faintly smile. She, of course, would not give out information to someone she just met. She had been betrayed by far too many people. She decided she would let Yun Luo do most of the talking. Yun Luo noticed Kim Yuna's indifference but continued on.

"Your daughter is quite cute! My poor Yun Chen must've fallen for her!" Yun Luo joked to try and uplift the mood. She herself had never seen Eun Ae in person. She was quite surprised to see how adorable she looked. Too bad she was Kim Yuna's daughter...

3 months later

At Yun Chen's house, Yun Luo invited Kim Yuna and Eun Ae over for 'brunch'. The time was now for her plan to finally come through. Before they came she asked for the help of some of the most powerful sorcerers. Of course, she had to lie to them, giving them fake benefits at the Medical Shop.

Yun Luo, Yun Chen, Kim Yuna, and Eun Ae were all seated at the outside dining room table eating. Yun Luo could finally get rid of her sweet act. She hated that she would have to show this side to Yun Chen, but he would surely understand.

Yun Luo suddenly stood up and looked at Kim Yuna with a mischevious smile. She clasped her hands behind her back. "Kim Yuna... I can't believe how stupid you have been these past months. I thought you wouldn't trust so easily but... I was wrong." Yun Luo slowly walked over to Kim Yuna as she watched her face change to an ugly color.

Eun Ae looked at Yun Luo, then Yun Chen accusingly. Kim Yuna's eyes narrowed she slowly stood up. Before she could reach Yun Luo, three figures quickly came down from the sky. They directed their flames at Eun Ae. Under the extreme pressure, Eun Ae slumped in her chair as she felt dizzy.

"Yun Luo! If your going to hurt someone hurt me! This has nothing to do with Eun Ae!" Kim Yuna's eyes widened at the scene. She stopped concealing her powers and directed them at Yun Luo. Yun Luo was sent flying as she was knocked into flower pots she wiped the blood from her head and weakly got up.

"Do you think I'm stupid, Kim Yuna! If I let her live I'll never get the Medical Shop!" Noticing Yun Chen's anxious eyes on here, Yun Luo met his gaze. With a soft voice, she said "Yun Chen... One day you'll forgive me for this..." She retracted her gaze as she looked at the three figures in black.

"Finish them!"

"Mommy no!" Yun Chen anxiously yelled as he stood up. He bit his lip as he watched the scene before him. He was so shocked he couldn't move. Yun Luo ran over to him and carried him over to safety. Yun Chen wiggled and fought in her arms with all his might all while yelling.

The three figures finally used their full powers and directed them at both Eun Ae and Kim Yuna. However, Kim Yuna was fast. She appeared in front of them and knocked them back to the table.

The table and everything on it went flying. The three figures finally appeared to be mad.

They couldn't figure out what power she had used against them. Kim Yuna wiped the blood from her lips as she charged at them again. The three figures quickly tried to rebuke the attack. The four of their powers collided sending them all a few steps back.

Kim Yuna ran in front of Eun Ae, in a protecting stance. She turned and saw blood pouring from Eun Ae's mouth. When she saw this she went crazy. Her whole body twitched uncontrollably and she laughed maniacally. Her eyes turned blood-shot red.

She slowly walked in front of the three figures. The figures directed their flames at her, but she wasn't getting injured. They finally felt fear when she stood right in front of them. They shivered and trembled. She looked at them with malicious eyes as an explosion escaped from her body, killing the three figures immediately.

Before Yun Luo could respond, she quickly grabbed Eun Ae and fled the scene.
