That night, Jaehwang arrived at the place written on the invitation.

  He opened the door to one of the buildings of the basecamp where the party was being held. It was called a camp and it looks like it but it was way different from the inside.

  Ding……

  A piece of calm music played throughout the room. The invitation said that the limit was just about 30 people but it looked like there were hundreds of visitors inside.

  “Oh my gosh, it’s the leader of the Stardust clan.”


  “Wow, there’s a lot more squad members and leaders here than I thought it would be.” He looked around the room and was amazed at how many nice things were in there.

  He showed up a little later than the prescribed time. He was wearing a white traditional shamanist costume with the hood pulled over his head. He walked to the guard and gave him his invitation. The guard nodded his head and he was ushered inside.

  “My name is Jeon Jaehwang.”


  The host introduced Jaehwang and everyone crowded around him to chat. A lot of people surrounded him but he just ignored everyone and went to the empty side of the room.

  “You’re here,” Songjae walked out of the crowd and greeted Jaehwang before they got surrounded once again. “Thanks for considering my invitation.”


  Jaehwang nodded and replied, “You’re welcome. The invitation was very persuasive after all.”


  “Haha, did you like it?”


  “It looked really fun.”


  “Really? If that’s the case then it looks like we’ll be the very best of friends.” Songjae replied with a smirk.

  “I guess so,” Jaehwang said.

  “Seriously? Does that mean that we’re friends now?”


  “Sure, friend.”


  A girl then walked next to Songjae and it was the girl he saw in the video of the invitation, Sooji. She walked up to Songjae with a smile and he wrapped his arm around her.

  “Oh, this is my fiance, Sooji.” Sooji greeted Jaehwang while avoiding his eye contact. There were many people around them but it felt awkward for Jaehwang and her to look at each other.

  “What are we going to do about this?”


  —Careful, don’t get too angry.

  —Is there something wrong about her?

  —I don’t know. This feels like an ancient spell……

  The spirit said. It was the first time she had seen that kind of spell being used after quite some time. It was also easy to notice because of the uneasy smell that it gives off. It reminded her of something from a long time ago.

  —Be careful.

  —Okay.

  They were talking with each other when Songjae said, “Should we talk somewhere quiet? The three of us must have a lot to talk about.”


  “Alright.” Jaehwang agreed to Songjae’s suggestion and the three of them then left the room.

  They went out of the building to go to a different one a few blocks away. They got inside and went into a large room after they passed through a hallway. Sooji collapsed the moment they stepped in but Songjae didn’t seem to be surprised at all.

  “You have some confidence to follow me all the way here…… Is she that important to you?”


  “I’m just curious about a few things……” Jaehwang replied as he walked further into the room.

  The items in the room began to change its place one by one just as the spirit said. Songjae’s smile disappeared from his face and Jaehwang slightly moved his hand.

  “Do you recognize this?” Jaehwang asked. He was surprised as soon as he realized what he was doing. At that moment, Jaehwang was using something that was apparently given to him by the Japanese clan.

  “I’m not sure, but I’m curious…… Who gave this to you?” Jaehwang moved a flower vase from a table towards the center of the room. It floated and turned upside down, causing the flowers and water to fall onto the floor.

  Still moving the vase without a movement in his hands, Jaehwang threw the vase at Songjae but he caught it with the help of his fast reflexes before it could hit him.

  Crash……

  The vase glowed as he touched it and broke.

  “You’re doing this on purpose, huh?” Songjae sad as he grasped the glass shards in his hand.

  “Of course, your host came prepared,” Jaehwang said.

  “Okay then, this will be fun” Songjae replied as he made some spikes appear and shoot from the walls. He knew full well that it won’t do much against Jaehwang so instead, he directed his attacks to Sooji.

  —It’s a trap.

  —I know.

  He would have tried to run for the door but he knew that it would be locked. Actually, there was no longer a door the only thing that remained around them was four walls.

  —This isn’t a spell.

  —I know.

  Jaehwang realized that it was some kind of a rare skill. He figured that he would have to break out of the walls to escape. Then, Sooji who had collapsed onto the floor began to stand up.

  “Ouch……” She held onto her head in pain as she tore off her clothes. A knife then suddenly appeared in the middle of her palm.

  “Sooji!” Jaehwang shouted, he immediately ran towards her to take out the knife on her hand which made her scream. “Hang in there, Sooji.”


  Tears began to fall as soon as she opened her eyes and saw Jaehwang. “J-jaehwang…… I-I miss you.”


  Jaehwang then hugged her tight but he felt something strange before everything in his sight turned white.

  ***

  “Huh…… Ouch!” He woke back in the party room. His right arm and chest were stained with blood and there was a crowd of people stepping back with a surprised and frightened look on their faces.

  “Sir!” Members of the Daehyeon clan rushed into the room.

  “Call the rest of the members!”


  “Huh? Ah, yes, sir!” The other members of clan began to gather after Songjae’s command.

  “This guy harassed my fiance…… I tried to stop him but it was already too late.”


  “What?!” Everyone gasped. No one could believe it but seconds later, someone shouted,

  “If he could do something like this then…… Is he really on our side?!”


  “I don’t want to believe it either but…… we have trust and protect each other. We have to stand by your fiance……”


  “Great! Let’s go!”


  Everyone then left the room to find and console Sooji. Songjae smirked as he watched them leave. His plan was working perfectly.

  ‘So you thought you could go against me?’


  Jaehwang fell into his trap the moment he walked into that room. He was distracted by that bit so he used that opportunity to cast a love spell that caused him to harass her.

  ‘Your reputation is now ruined.’


  He even filmed the incident with his phone and he distributed it to the news channels so they could report it. By the time the morning comes, he would be known and treated as a criminal.

  —Everyone is gathering outside.

  Jaehwang realized Songjae’s plan. He didn’t think that his plan would be that cruel. If they came into the room and saw them without their clothes on, it would only make things much worse.

  —Hey!

  —Huh?

  —What should I do? I need your help.

  —How?

  —First……

  Jaehwang explained the plan to the spirit.

  —Hm, I don’t like it. Can’t we just attack them?

  —We can’t. They’re from the other clans and attacking them won’t do me any good.

  —Fine. But you’d owe me a lot of snacks for this. Also, I don’t know how to do this so well…… It’s not something I’ve practiced a lot……

  The spirit said. Hearing that did cause Jaehwang to worry, but they had no other choice.

  —Just think of it as a drama and that you’re the hero.

  Jaehwang said.

  —That’ll work! You should have said that earlier.

  ***

  Tik tok…… Ringgg

  The bell on the door rang and the crowd of clan members rushed in.

  “Stop right there!”


  They saw the two of them holding hands as their energy surrounded the room. They couldn’t believe what just happened and when they reached the room, they started to doubt themselves even more.

  “W-what’s going on here?……”


  “What do you mean?”


  The crowd of people then looked at each other with a puzzled look on their faces. There were only two girls in the room. They instantly started to doubt what Songjae told them.

  “.……”


  “.……What are you guys doing here?!”


  The other girl shouted. Sooji then woke up, she noticed that she was wearing a white robe-like cloth with a hood over her face.

  She looked around and noticed the crowd of people and the girl next to her. “Who are you?”


  “Me?” The mysterious girl replied. Everyone else in the room was also confused about what was going on. “I am……”


  Him & Her 2, The end.
