𝐒𝐄𝐎-𝐘𝐔𝐋'𝐒 gaze that concealed the adoration for the particular girl zeroed on the her visage, which mixed with Nervous and resoluteness.

He slowly drawed out his sword as she took her stance, the air sizzling with the tension crinkling with another surrounding them. The boy's heart slowly increased the pace as the seconds passed til her gaze converged with his.

The nerves that ticked off til now soothing away leisurely from her mind as they couldn't sense any disarray in whatever is about to happen.

She was the first to loose out from her trance as she took the preventive strike while the other wished that if he could have relished an another second of the moment that only the two attained , unaware the other desired the same in the initial.

Swords clashed each others as the two faced one another more closer than it was, thier breath speaking volumes in the tense silenced second before the girl backed off with a frown as she found him sustaining rather than striking.

As if he read out inaudible question that etched on to her face, the boy took turn to inflict a strike that was mildly possible to cover.

Nonetheless, the girl secured her stance as she swiftly dodged the strike before she gripped the hard metal in her hands trying to mold them together ahead to strike back before the boy could.

Nevertheless, already foreseeing the attack the boy swifted back to the girl's side, stealing a glance before her hair strands brushed past his face as an feather touch that could only attained for a mere second.

Not wasting another second to win or lose, she spun around to face the boy who held a slight curve in his lips.

Her eyes narrowed in the rush of adrenaline to win this as hastily as she could before their swords clashed against again , sending out sparks in the thin air that could tore away.

Their breath mingling together before the girl took one step back only to strike again, the boy mirrored her actions as they continuously send split sparks to the air that it thickened every second as they constantly striked without resting a second.

The boy sticked to defend every blow with light strikes, which is inevitably forcing him to step back at every blow while the girl continued to step ahead with each strike.

The two still haven't used any form of energy til now, while the other two who's watching their duel in anticipation rooting for one another.

All the boy has to do is perform chisu to win if he wants to when the constant strikes halts, however more than revealing the fact he could perform chisu that inevitably sends him back to the Seo family, what his thoughts dragged him down was the aftermath defeated look on her.

By scarce glances between the clashes that became less fierce ,his eyes set on hers that grew out more concern in past seconds.

To finish this for all, the boy took a hit that backed him off few steps that had granted the time to converge his energy throughout his swords.

The girl's eyes gleamed with satisfaction before she mirrored his actions as the energy perfectly coursed through her both swords, the embark of cherry blossoms vivid in the blue lucent.

The two spectators glanced at each other in uneasiness about the ending that could end in not-so-good-way. While, the other two's gaze were connected throughout this, speaking nothing that could be dictated.

The two of them didn't waste any other second,they stepped ahead in unison for the strike. Their swords clashed against eachother furiously as the energy Sustained tussle in the air, all while their eyes were set on each other.

Not glancing away even for a second.

Their stance were clear, as they were freezed up on the floor not even budging a step back, the energy of the two that coursed through their swords as they fought against each other.

Yul's eyes slowly, Unconsciously (or not) swept through her face, taking in her entrancing eyes that were fitted on her swords that were somewhat alluring to his gaze.

Nevertheless, in an fleeting moment a flash of memory passed through his eyes .

His own memory.

The same alluring eyes that's infront of him now,close as this much ,with complete shock swirled inside.

Then another memory passed down, the same closeness and the same stunned features, however some where else.

His thoughts pained much just trying to reminisce what happened after in this very much second, nevertheless all was revealed as his gaze involuntarily fell upon the girl's lips with red and pink hues coloring them.

The kiss......

Yul's entire body faltered back by the impact of remembering the very much memory he forgot, endowing away the opportunity to defense against the girl, who didn't notice the sudden retreat and as if it couldn't get any better the sudden course of the energy that she couldn't control bashed against his, which made him to inevitably fall backwards rather painfully.

The thud sound resonated the secluded area as the spectators and Na-ra's eyes widened in shock, not entirely thinking of such an ending.

" YUL!! "

" YUL-AH!! "

" YOUNG MASTER SEO-YUL! "

The three called out the boy before rushing towards him, while the boy didn't even bothered to move, eyes agape,not spilling out an word as the strike couldn't even take him out of the trance of his memory.

The girl was the first to rush up to him before the other two, who had stepped away a little back before the duel.

" Yul?! Are you okay?!? Why aren't you saying something?!!"

She hurriedly pulled him to sat right up and by seeing his shocked unaffected look, she slightly patted his cheeks to be on his senses.

His eyes that were staring at the thin air til now bored on to the girl, who was beyond concerned and feeling guilty for not controlling her energy at the fleeting moment.

However, before the other two could even get close to him , he abruptly stood and walked away in the speed of light leaving the girl and the other two in beyond confusion.

" What's wrong with him?..."

" Maybe the strike gave him a concussion or something??...."

.........

YUL POV :

My hands trembled as I touched my own lips, I couldn't have done that. I wouldn't have done that in alcohol influence. Even if I wanted to, HOW COULD I DONE THAT?!?

There is no way..... But it's certainly not one of those dreams.. It's definitely a memory..

What should I do?!?

Why is she so nonchalant about what happened?? I definitely kissed her cheek the other day and yesterday.... I could remember slowly drawing towards her lips... And I don't remember?... Well it's obvious what happened the next second!!

HOW CAN I DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND DO NOT EVEN REMEMBER?!?

WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?

..........

THIRD POV :

While the boy was too busy cursing out of his own mind, trying to figure out what's next, a hand slid upto his arm which inevitably made him flinch and jerk off.

The boy's eyes widen in surprise as Na-ra's eyes were the one penetrating to his, confuse and concern relaying on hers.

" Are you okay?? I swear, I didn't see you were retreating and I wasn't able to control my energy at that time because of- no, I mean, I'm sorry okay... Are you fine?? Should we go to Sejukwon?? "

The girl's hand latched on to his wrist as her eyes swept around to his head to toe, afraid to find any wounds or scratches even.

Nevertheless,the boy was too engrossed in the twinkling feeling that made his heartbeat physically astounding just by a mere touch of her hands.

His breath quickened the pace involuntarily as his eyes etched to the girl's eyes til it flickered down to her  lips. Air was taken out from his lungs as his eyes flashed the same scenario once again, heat radiating from his face as he recalled the memory.

" I...I am okay, really I'm fine. "

The girl eyed the man infront of her that was startled as if he's been caught in some act.

Her hand that was holding his wrist carefully loosened, warily checking his rhythm that was beating in the speed that was unnatural.

" What the- your heart is beating too fast! You think that is okay?? Fine?!? And what is with your face, all red?!? "

The word concern would be a underestimation to the situation the girl was put in, as well as the word flustered for the boy. His eyes were clearly started to daze by the bunch of thoughts that couldn't reach onto his mind, leaving his actions in a freeze.

And if that wasn't enough , her hands that were clutched on to his wrist left as it reached upon his jaw, cupping his whole face in her hands. His eyes wide upon along with his lips parting away as this was the last string that clearly left his conscious to a ditch.

" Yul? Yul?!? Why aren't you answering anything?!?! "

Na-ra continuously tapped his cheeks for an response, nonetheless in return other than standing like a sculpture nothing was given.

" Oh god, what should I do?? Did you really went to a concussion?!? Even Young-hee isn't here to help me!! "

Na-ra gaze that full of guilt and worry spilling out pulled the boy with her in a hurry to Sejukwon , while he simply followed her in a trance.

...........

Na-ra forcefully made the boy to flop down to the seat holding down his shoulders, scanning his entire self before tilting his head to the both sides for any injuries to find absolute nothing. Not even an single scratch.

Her mind was running fast and slow simultaneously, struggling to find what is wrong with him,even when she was known to be one of the profound student in Sejukwon, she struggled by the panic setting in.

He must have seen the concern swirling inside her eyes to lose his trance and retreat back to the reality, only to hold two of her hands that were wavering in anxious.

Her eyes flickered back to his face with the sudden reassuring hold, his thumb slowly grazing back of her hand.

A small act, But it was so much more than just small for her.

The two held their gaze connected that weighted the thin air surrounded them to a intense one.

The hold on the girl's hands gradually tightened as if it was pleading for something... Or someone.

The air between them tightened in by so many unsaid emotions, pushing the two to a edge of endless bliss or an endless despair .

There was no in-between,She knew that.

However, all the fleeting thoughts faded as the grip on her wrist loosened . she slowly leaned down towards the Boy involuntarily in the soulless room as the boy mirrored her pace, trying not to rise up from his seat to end the torturing slow pace without thinking of the consequences.

Both of thier breath gradually grew shallow as they drew closer and closer til thier breath mingled each others. The slow pace was alluring yet torturous , thier minds simultaneously crying out to end it. That is til -

" YUL-AH!! ARE YOU HERE?!? "

Before the sound could even resonate inside the room, Na-ra shrugged of his hands before slouching beside the table that stacked full of medicines as if she's been looking all over them all this time.

Master Heo and Master park hurriedly stepped inside the room in a frantic pant, clearly they were running at this point to hastily check if he's fine.

" Yul-ah, are you okay?? Dang-gu told us you had an concussion while having a duel with Na-ra ! "

Obviously they were concerned over the fact he had an concussion but not only that, while having duel with none other than Na-ra.

Their concern were surely justified by the fact since Master Lee warned the two of the sudden outburst of energy she could create into a chaos in anytime, which ofcourse they haven't enlightened the girl.

But good lord the time they chose to invade.

Na-ra sighed heavily before turning back to face them, completely avoiding the gaze from beside her that boring down.

By the ignorance that got in return rather than an glance atleast, yul stood up facing the girl, clutching down at his sword before turning to the other two.

" I am completely fine. Then, I'll be on my way. I'll need to have a word with Dang-gu. "

The words were completely emotionless as it came out, the other two couldn't even protest nor agree as the boy walked out before passing a glance to the girl which didn't reciprocated until he turned away.

" Why did he looked at us in so...
