《Devil's Meal // Jungkook ✔》𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚝𝚎𝚛 42

I have not given any answers to Jungkook. The next day after he proposed, Jungkook acted like nothing happened that night and it got me thinking whether all of that happened because he was drunk. He seemed normal even once we arrived back in Seoul. A short getaway changes a lot of things between me and him.
I arrived at Golden Closet Enterprise earlier as usual and when I went to the reception, Mi Rae isn't there. In fact that is a new replacement and it is Maria, the bartender from The Royals. "Maria?" I arched my brows and she smiles at me. "Na Ra! Good morning." She greeted me and then hugs me like as if we are best friend. "What happened to Mi Rae?" I asked and she sigh. "Didn't you heard? Mi Rae put 24 hour noticed last Friday." That is unexpected. "Any idea why?" Maria shakes her head. "Right... I'll ask Jungkook." I said and immediately head up to the office.
I wanted to check with Li Eun and realized that she is on leave today. She told me she had medical appointment. When the elevator bing and Jungkook walks out, I got up and greeted him. He greeted me back and straight away went to his office. Not a good vibe here. I decided to make tea from him and bring my planner along. I knocked on his door and he told me to come in. "Your tea, Mr Jeon." I said and he told me to place it on the table. "Your schedule for today...." "Cancel them. All of them. You can go now." He sounded real cold. I wanted to ask why but that seem like a bad idea. I bow and leave his office and get back to my seat.
"Jimin killed Mi Rae last Friday..." those word came out from Namjoon hyung made me fume with anger. How dare he killed my employee. The body was burnt when I went back home. Namjoon hyung knew I would be mad if he told me that night but he would not let that happened cause Na Ra was there with me. I wonder what Na Ra would feel when I told her that Mi Rae is dead. For now, I decided to make it as if she resigned within 24hours and had to leave the country. Bad reasoning but that will do for now.

I look out at Na Ra who is doing her work in silent. I shouldn't have vent my anger on her. I pressed the intercom and summon Na Ra to come in. She did after awhile and she tries to look as calm as possible. "Come here." I gestured my finger and she walked over to me. I got up from my seat and gently caresses her skin. I leaned over to kiss her but she stopped me. Fuck! She's mad now. "We're at work." She said and I remember her wanting it to be professional whenever we are at the office. "Have you thought about it?" I asked and she look at me, frowning. "Not yet. Give me sometime." She said and I really can't imagine if I tell her the truth about Mi Rae.
"Mi Rae quit, giving me the 24hour noticed last night." I said and Na Ra sigh. She look devastated. "I know. Maria told me. I just want to know why? I texted her she didn't reply. I even asked her friends and they had no idea." I can tell she's at the brim of crying. "Sorry I was being so cold towards you earlier on. I'm just mad at the sudden move she made." I lied as I rubbed her back gently and she sniffles. "I guess there must be something important that made her resign immediately." She said trying to think positive.
"Come over to my place for dinner tonight?" I offered her and she look at me with a little guilty look in her eyes. "I can't. I'm meeting Sung Hoon to end things between us. I don't want him to bother me anymore." Only the devil knows how much rage is building inside me. "Do you want me to accompany you?" I asked and she nods her head. "Yes actually. I wanted to invite you earlier on but you were not in a good mood so I thought I will do it later on. Now that you asked. Yes please accompany me." Now that is a relief.
"I gladly accept your offer. Well work is work.. please go back and reply those emails." I said and she knows I ruined the moment. "Right away boss. Don't forget to check the documents and sign them." She reminded me before she goes back to her desk.

Jungkook and I arrived at the cafeteria where I'm supposed to meet Sung Hoon. We already seated and ordered our drinks and food when Sung Hoon arrived. He look horrible to be honest. His eye bags, beard and he look like he lose a little weight. "So you are with him now?" He asked and I nod. "You moved on fast." He said and I shrugged.
"That is not the issue. You cheated so it is better to move on." I said and Sung Hoon frowned. "Na Ra... please ask him to leave so we can talk privately." Sung Hoon said and I declined his suggestion. "No. Jungkook stays. I think my future husband deserve the right to sit down next to me." I said and Jungkook turn to look at me almost in disbelieve.
"Future husband? Tsk you know this man for about a week and you're marrying him already? What do you know about him?" Sung Hoon leans back against his seat and I leaned forward. "That he has a big dick." I smirked and Sung Hoon frowned immediately. He felt like a slap on his face when I said that. "You've slept with him?" He asked and all I did was give him a huge smile. "No. I'm not like you, idiot. I hold onto my promise. I will give him the most memorable wedding night. It could have been you but well you cheated." Sung Hoon slammed his fist on the table.
"Why are you so mad? It was your fault. God knows how many time you slept with that woman. Tell me honestly Sung Hoon. How many times did you sleep with him?" I asked and he couldn't answer. "Exactly. I know the figure. Maria, the bartender at The Royals happened to be a good friend of me. She counted the number of time you and Hyuna went to that pleasure room." Sung Hoon looked away from me feeling guilty. "What about Jungkook? How many times have he slept around?" Sung Hoon plays a dirty card.
"A lot." Jungkook admit and he drinks up the coffee. "But that was before I met Na Ra. You think a business billionaire like me will remain a virgin when there are a lot of girls chasing me?" Jungkook is really being blunt now. I got up and told Jungkook that I'm going to the washroom.
"Let me tell you something Sung Hoon ah.. I've known Na Ra longer than what you think. I've chose my queen long time ago and trust me no matter how many times you try to get Na Ra back, you can't. Cause she is fated and destine to be mine."
"I'm done with you Sung Hoon. You cheated on me with my own best friend. I won't forgive you for that. Goodbye Sung Hoon. Live a good life." Na Ra cane back and said what she has to say before she got up and leave the place. I followed her from behind and once we are at my car, I didn't unlock it yet. She turned to look at me.
"Na Ra..." I hold her hand and gently leaned her against the car. "What you said just now, is it true?" I asked and she arched her brows. "The one your dick is big? Isn't that true.. I felt it in the tub the other day." She said and I looked at her in disbelieve and laugh. "Good that you find it big but not that one you silly. The other one about me being your future husband. So you agree?" She didn't reply and I frowned. Did she said that to mess around with Sung Hoon...
"Do you, Kim Na Ra agree to marry me?" I decided to ask again but this time I pulled out a ring that has a black and red gemstone on it. The ring that is made for the High Priest's wife. It was given to me by Jin's mother after her husband died that night. It is made up of black diamond and ruby gemstone. She look at the ring and then up at me, still thinking. Finally Na Ra hold my hand and then she gazes at me with sparkles in her doe eyes that is similar as mine.

Domain of Man
Isolation is terrible. To feel isolated with your fellow man around you is worse. What if you were dumped in some backwards cave somewhere, completely nude, maybe with your family, or even completely alone? The age of pioneers, heroes, generals, and geniuses is long gone. Humankind has become numb to the world around it because of how paltry everything else is compared to the glory of its history, the sheer volume of their accomplishments, and the sum of its innovations. You can interact with people across the world, travel miles in mere hours, and never prepare your own food or shelter, and it's all accessible to even the normalest of individuals. Artificial intelligence is within arms reach in devices and computers and even houses, and neural interfaces aren't exclusive to the rich and powerful at this point. Someone far in the distance took notice of Earth, saw the multitude of hairless apes swarming its surface. That one went down the checklist to see if humanity had, in fact, beaten the 'game' of Life. Sure enough, they had gone above and beyond the requirements, but nobody had been watching. 'Why might that be?', that one wondered. Protocol was protocol, though, no matter how strange the situation was. They pulled the lever, they flipped the switch. It's time for New Game +. ???

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess.
