《Snow Flames》Between the confusion and pain

While Ji-Ho was calling on Lia
Lia's phone rang, her tone was loud, so she was feeling embarrassed when all Elites' company employees heard this loud voice ¸ The company was taking care of delivering its employees to their homes, where was most times ¸ Employees work after official working hours
Lia was waiting for a ride, to reach homes as soon as, to take her lunch – it will be her favorite meal as she used to do when she gets things done
Lia quickly answered the phone, "Who's calling?"
Ji-Ho thinks that because of the loud tone, Lia couldn't hear him, so he hurriedly approached her to talk to her face to face ¸ he was less than a meter away from her
Lia continued her conversation with the caller ¸
"Are you kidding me, how can I guess who you are?"
Before Lia canceled the call to get the conversation ended, the caller interrupted her
, "Wait....wait ¸ How are you, record-breaker?"
She realized the caller that is why she did not close the conversation and continued,
"Hello Min-Ho, how are you? Wait, that's a local phone number! Did you come home? How? The last time we spoke, last week, you told me you still had another semester."
As Lia, was completing her call, she was walking forward, a little further away from Ji-Ho,
That is why he walked behind her with shorter steps.
Min-Ho answered Lia through the phone,
"Yes, I've arrived, look in front of you, a handsome guy is waving over there, he's wearing a white shirt, that's me."
"Really," replied Lia, "there aren't any handsome guys here."
Lia was joking, she was actually able to see Min-Ho and was hurrying in her steps to welcome him.
This made Ji-Ho, too, move forward faster than before, but he stopped following her when he realized that what he was trying to do now was absurd.
"Hello, ugly young man. "
Min-Ho replied to Lia,
"with a smile that was followed by a loud laugh, "Hehehehehehe,
yes, it's me, how are you, Lia?"
" I'm fine –What about you? Why did you come back before completing your studies? "
Min-Ho replied with a proud look, "Who told you that I didn't finish my studies?"
"Don't tell me you..." replied Lia.
Min-Ho replied,
"Yes, I did, I combined my classes, passed all exams, and I will receive my graduation certificate this month."
Lia was so happy to hear that,

"Well done Min-Ho, studying was very difficult, and you live alone there,
I'm sure you were feeling stressed as well "
Min-Ho replied,
"Do you know the main reason why I did this and put up with all this fatigue,
is that I couldn't stand being there alone while you were here?"
Lia interrupted him,
"Ummm, Can I imagine the actual reason, obviously the main reason, that you couldn't bear the idea of me working before you?"
Min-Ho laughed and replied,
"Ha-ha-ha-ha of course nobody understands what's on my mind like you,
yeah, I wanted to break the record for our university legend, Lia Stewart,
always she is first, who was able to graduate in just two years."
"But till the end, you couldn't break that number," Lia interrupted.
Min-Ho laughed as he continued, "Yeah...Yeah, the Competitiveness Lia, is showing up now."
A few meters away, Ji-Ho stood watching their conversation, of course, he couldn't hear what they were saying, but his eyes were checking their looks and reactions.
"Who is this person you look at with such affection, I miss that look, I miss the days when I used to spend my time with Su-Bin,
She was looking at me with such innocent, spontaneous features, her warm eyes, her beautiful smile, and her long talk with me, how much she understood me, I felt then as if I owned the world.
Ji-Ho decides to leave, he doesn't want to suffer anymore, every time he sees Lia, he remembers Su-Bin, and his sorrows are renewed, leaving him with nothing but pain that remains in his heart
Min-Ho noticed that someone was watching them
"Do you know this person standing a few meters behind you?"
"Yeah, he seems weird, I saw him watching me from afar and then he was calling me by another girl, poor guy, I think he really needed psychotherapy."
"Weird, this person is far from this description, he is looking at you,…, a look."
Min-Ho was silent for a moment, and said, " continue your conversation, look what?"
Min-Ho replied, "No, it's just a look I didn't like..."
Then he continued, "The Serial Killer Look."
"Really, you always turn everything into a joke," Lia laughed out loud.
Min-Ho continued, "But where do you know him from?"
"Imagine that this man is Mr. Ji-Ho! Director of the Truth Foundation," she replied.
He continued in astonishment, "You mean it's Kim Ji-Ho!"
"Yeah, do you know him?"

"Of course, his father is a friend of the family (Kang family), his father works as my father's secretary, but I haven't met him since I was in high school."
Before Ji-Ho turns
Min-Ho ran up to catch up with Ji-Ho
Ji-Ho was surprised as to why he was walking towards him. As Min-Ho took his steps, his features became more and more clear to Ji-Ho. He felt that he knew him. He might have met him somewhere. He had a slight smile on his face, as he remembered himself when he was the same age, everyone who saw him called him the young man with friendly features, he said to himself, "I understand now why everyone was calling me that."
Min-Ho spoke in a loud voice,
"Ji-Ho, how are you, do you know me?"
Ji-Ho replied,
"Sorry, I don't remember, what's your name and how old are you, maybe our paths were intertwined someday."
Min-Ho replied,
"I'm Min-Ho from the Kang family? You used to teach me when I was in high school."
Ji-Ho replied welcomingly,
"Min-Ho, how are you, little boy, you've grown into a man now, tell me what you're studying, if you're still doing well, you should be about to graduate this year?"
Min-Ho replied, "Okay, looks like we'll have a long conversation.
How about we have lunch together?"
Ji-Ho looked at Lia, who was a little further away from them
Min-Ho continued,
"Of course, I mean the three of us, if you don't mind."
Ji-Ho shook his head to hint that he had no objections
Min-Ho steps forward to tell Lia
"Let's eat lunch together"
"What? I told you I'm uncomfortable, then today is a special day for me, so you go with him."
"He's a good person and he has a lot of credit for me, I'll tell you later, let's go now."
Ji-Ho opens the front door of the car
Lia quickly opened the front car door and took a seat in the back seat.
Ji-Ho said, "Okay, I'll sit here. Let's go, Master."
After they all settled in their places
Min-Ho starts his talk,
"I've been following your news, Master, it looks like you're a celebrity now."
Ji-Ho smiled,
"Don't say, Master, you're no longer a high school kid, you'll make me look like an old man."
Min-Ho is laughing
"Okay, Ji-Ho...., haha but I feel weird, I'll need some time to get used to this."
Then Ji-Ho said,
"Oh, how bad we are to talk like this and leave Lia alone, so Lia what restaurant do you want to eat at?"
Lia replied, "Really, I'm not used to local food, I still don't get along with it, so I can choose any Western meal."
Maine interrupted her, "What is this, Lia? Come on, you want to eat western food here! don't tell me, burgers, and pizza! Leave all this meal now, I'll make you eat today according to my taste, I'll take a high dose of phosphorous, a plate full of fish, crustaceans, and shellfish."
Ji-Ho quickly cut Min-Ho 's conversation,
"No, suggest anything instead of seafood."
Lia and Min-Ho were amazed at Ji-Ho's reaction
Ji-Ho remembered that Su-Bin had an allergy and that she had gone to the hospital one day because she ate shellfish
Min-Ho continued, "What is this, I know very well, that you love it, that it is your favorite meal, or that you are afraid to pay a lot of money, for your sake, since when did you become a miser?"
Min-Ho and Leia both laughed, then Lia said,
"It's okay, Mister Ji-Ho, we'll split the money."
Ji-Ho replied firmly, "What are you just saying, Okay, we'll go to a famous seafood restaurant near here and of course it's just me who will pay"
Ji-Ho remembered that it was ridiculous the reaction he had just made, it was Lia, not Su-Bin.
The three of them arrived at the restaurant and each took their places, and since the dishes were placed on the table
Min-Ho was busy devouring the food while Ji-Ho watched Lia and Lia, was uncomfortable and feeling strange and embarrassed at the same time.
Lia couldn't eat well, as Ji-Ho sat in the chair across from her
Min-Ho noticed this and gave her a piece of oyster and said to her,
"Go ahead, eat this masterpiece, and you should forget about eating the burger and pizza here.
The three of them laughed, and while they were eating, Lia felt a little unwell and interrupted their conversation about the old days, when Min-Ki was young.
"Sorry, I'll need to go to the bathroom, I guess I'm not feeling well with eating seafood for the first time, it seems my body is not used to this."
Lia goes to the bathroom with medicine for indigestion and a sedative
While she was trying to pick up the medicine, she fainted...….."

An "Omnicrafter" was what they called people in the MMORPGs she played who maxed out every single crafting class, and that is exactly what Tabitha plans on doing with her new life! The crafting side of this series is heavily inspired by games like the Atelier series and the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV (which has a free trial, you know!)*.

Fishing is the true endgame only after crafting, after all! So, if you like alchemy, blacksmithing, carpentry, cooking, leatherworking, tailoring, engineering, rune forging, magical enchanting, or basically any other type of crafting found in RPGs, come check the story out! An omnicrafter doesn't just focus on one specific type of crafting. A true omnicrafter is the best at all types of crafting! *This is a meme, I'm not sponsored by FFXIV, please don't hate me.

Welcome to Devos
Welcome to a world where humor, drama, and action clash in epic tales spanning a vast continent....Welcome to Devos An anime styled medieval fantasy world featuring heroes, gods, and demons in a grounded and story/character focused series. A world where the gods of power bestow elemental abilities on those they find worthy. Welcome to Devos is broken up into parts, each part is more or less a complete story that expands the world, characters, and kingdoms of Devos. It plays out a lot like Game of Thrones where instead of a lead character you have an entire cast, each one getting plenty of time to develop over the course of the series. It is a relatively grounded, character and story-driven adventure that focuses on people of interest and their relationships with each other, their nations, and the eight gods of power. While the story features a good blend of light and dark themes it can get really grim at times. The continent of Devos is comprised of 5 territories, they include the three kingdoms of Verdun, Ashmir, and Vespa along with the territories of two demon lords to the north and south. The time period and setting are basically what you would find in a fantasy anime. There are eight gods of power which wield eight different elements and have the ability to "bless" individuals with certain abilities. Monsters roam the wilderness and the ruins/dungeons that are scattered throughout the landscape. Adventurers complete quests, hunt monsters, and explore the vast continent. We've got heroes, demon lords, gods, spys, special operations assault teams, phantom eagles, kings & queens, cursed chickens, talking goblins, and a whole shit ton more already in with plenty more coming soon.
