STRONG AFFECTION : Chapter 21 – 30
By Naomi Cindy B
CHAPTER 25
Ginelle’s house**
She just finished taking a night shower, she settled down in front of the mirror and started dolling up her face with make up
She made it thick as usual especially the lip color, it’s deep red, she’s an expert when it comes to that
She parted her hair in the middle and packed it tight to the back before braiding it to one single long braid
She folded it up before picking her artificial hair which has been braided beautifully, she rolled the artificial hair on top of her hair and it changed her look slightly, she looks like the real gisaeng she is right now
Then she attached the hairpins one by one to hold the hair in place
She stood and got her robe, it’s white and light blue in colour
She put it on and dressed up then wore her shoes before getting her cloak
She covered her head before leaving the house under the cover of the night
She only walked for a short time till she got to where she’s going
Gisaeng house (Slut house) was boldly written in front of it
She sighed and removed her cloak which she kept somewhere before going in.

Next morning**
Kimora woke up feeling happy, last night was really the best night of her life for the fact that she slept on Jimin’s shoulders for long and watched the stars with him, he’s cool and lively apart from being handsome and kind
She smiled, getting down from the bed
She made sure to brush and take her bath before leaving the room for the kitchen
“Good morning headmaid Ambrosia” she greeted the first person she came across
“You look extra gorgeous this morning” Ambrosia smiled
“My friend has always been gorgeous, everyday” Tania chipped in
” You weren’t in your room at 8, last night, where were you?” Ambrosia asked
” I’m…I was….I… went to watch the stars” she replied
” You weren’t by the fence, do you perhaps have another spot where you view the stars from?” Ambrosia asked
” Yes… that’s… right” she replied
” I guess so, I just wanted to check on you” Ambrosia said
” Thanks for your kindness headmaid” she smiled
” I’m going to serve prince Jimin’s breakfast” Tania said, carrying the royal tray and going out of the kitchen
She knocked when she got go his room and it was Cory who opened the door
“I’m here with the breakfast of his highness” she said
“He’s in lock up till the evening so…” Cory said
“Oh… I’ll take my leave then” she replied
“Your coin” Cory said, picking a fallen coin from the ground
” Oh…that’s mine” Tania said, looking back
“Where do I put it?” Cory said, wanting to drop it on the royal tray
“No no no…. don’t be dumb how can you place a coin on a royal tray” she said quickly
” Dumb?” Cory said
” I mean… it’s senseless to…
“Senseless?” Cory said again
” Ok you can take it I’m tired of you!” Tania replied and rolled eyes before leaving
Cory laughed loudly, leaving Jimin’s room immediately
He decided to go practice archery at the palace practice ground
He walked there and got his arrows and bows, he had barely shot three when Suzy appeared
“Teach me how to shoot an arrow” she said and he looked back at her
” Your highness it’s not right” he replied
“But it’s right to teach Royalty French” she replied
” Your highness” Cory said
” Ok, I’ll just go tell father that you’re doing thinks with Royalty” she said and turned to go
He blocked her, touching her shoulders before realizing
“Ok let’s do it” he said and she smiled, she looked at her shoulders that he’s holding and he made to remove his hands..
“Don’t you dare…. Don’t remove your hands” she said and he kept holding it
Suzy closed her eyes and before he knew it, she hugged him.
“Your highness!” He said shockingly
“Don’t move” Suzy replied

Library**
Jimin sat, reading the fifth book silently while Cal paced around, not standing anywhere around him
His wounded arm has been treated though and Jimin’s face has been treated too
“I really don’t know why the heavens decided to make you come as my brother” Cal suddenly said
” And who says I’m happy cos you’re my brother, do you know my saddest day on Earth?, The day you were born with me, the fact that we were born on the same day Is even annoying” Jimin replied and Cal smiled dangerously
“That maid, I heard her name is Kimora, I’m aware there’s something between you two, I can just smell it right from when you let her into the royal palanquin with us, if I spill that out, you think she’ll be spared?” Cal said
” Any other thing?” Jimin said
” The maids were forbidden from attending the festival but she did…. once I open my mouth and say a word about it to his majesty, she’s gone* Cal said and Jimin laughed
“So you rely on carrying news about, I support your career” he said
” Read my lips Jimin Jung, I’ll be the one to kill you, cursed prince” Cal said and the door opened
” Your highness, his majesty says you both are free” the guard said and Cal stormed out of the room
” Cursed?” Jimin wondered as he walked silently out of the room
He came across Janis by the corridor and they stopped to look at each other for a while
“We need to talk” Janis said and they both walked to a silent part of the palace
” What’s between you and Kimora?” They both said at the same time
” I should be the one asking that” Jimin said
“Why?”
“You’re aware about the reason Janis” Jimin replied
” You like her too?” Janis asked
” What does it look like?” Jimin replied
“I was with her, I liked her first before you came Jimin” Janis said
” Janis I don’t like talking too much so let’s just wait and see what happens at the end” Jimin said and walked away.
” I miss her so much” he thought as he entered his room

Royal shaman Gaeul’s shrine**
“The night air is so eerie, what’s gonna happen?” She asked herself, looking around
The air is so strong that it shook everything in the shrine
Gaeul started chanting words while swaying her red fan but that only helped for a while
An evil presence suddenly landed in the shrine which terrified her
Black flames is surrounding him and the eyes are red, his hair is long like that of a girl and there’s no doubt that he’ll be handsome as a human but he’s surely not a human, he’s a de.mon
He looks scary!, Bad dark energy emanates from him
“Star king?” Gaeul said, blocking herself with her red fan
” You know who I am….so don’t try to interfere, I’m back!” He shouted, his voice echoing
” Why did you come back?, You’ve been exiled into darkness!” Gaeul said, staying back
If there’s any powerful dark demon in the whole globe,then it’s him
“To do what needs to be done, take revenge on Petal!” He roared and hit the wall
The wall cracked and lioness fell out of the painting
“Star king?” She said
“Let’s go” he replied and vanished with lioness
” What to do?, So….is the non-human related to Petal and star king?, How?” She wondered.

Palace**
Kimora can’t help but feel the difference in the air tonight as she walked to the flower garden
The air is unbearably cold but she beared it till she got to the garden
“Why do I feel like something is not right?” She asked herself as she walked slowly into the garden
” I’ve been waiting!” Jimin’s voice woke her up from her thoughts and she looked up to see him waiting
She smiled widely as she rushed to him. “Have you been waiting for long?” She said and he hugged her instead
” Yeah, I missed you throughout my lockup with Cal” he replied
She broke the hug and looked at his wounded face
” It’s minor, don’t worry about it kitten” he said
“It must hurt a lot” she replied, touching it
” No I’m ok” he replied, taking her hand and pecking it before hugging her again, longer than the first
“Kimora” he said
“Yes Jimin” she replied, wanting to break the hug but he held her tightly to himself
“My heart is beating so fast right now” he said
“So is mine” she replied and he slowly broke the hug, he held her face and leaned in to peck her forehead
She held his hands to her face and her heart beat increased, so is his
His eyes turned wistful and passionate as he started leaning in again, aiming for her lips
Her heart slammed hard on her ribcage as she closed her eyes expectantly
Jimin was just about to crash his lips on hers when an harsh wind blew past then, it made Jimin fall but Kimora stood
Right in front of him, she transformed but instead of the pink eyes, her eyes are bloody red and instead of the tempting lips, her lips are red and her white nails are now black
Only her robe and hair is white right now and it’s scary..
Jimin kept lying down and he’s as scared as he.ll right now
“Kim… Kimora* he stuttered as she came closer without smiling
Her face held mercilessness and coldness and she’s looking at him like she doesn’t know him
She super sped to him and knelt beside him then gr.abbed his ne¢k tightly, pinning him to the ground and seizing air from going to his Iungs
“Die* She muttered coldly and the harsh wind blew again, she choked him more and he started bIeeding from the mouth instantly
“Kimora…. Come back… to your… senses, jebbal (please) ” He stuttered, vomiting more bIood..
