Taeil put his pen down on his desk, lacing his fingers together as he placed his hands on the table, taking a deep breath.
"Jaehyun, do you mind moving over for Kun?" Taeil asked. Jaehyun nodded, moving his chair over, giving Kun and Mark space to sit. The two wizards took their wand out, spelling two chairs to appear in front of Taeil's desk before taking a seat.
"You're referring to Jimin." Taeil said to the two. Jaehyun's ears perked at the name.
"You went to see her with Jaemin and you didn't tell us?" Kun said to the older male. Taeil sighed deeply.
"What is there to say, Kun? You act like the Wizard Coven doesn't keep a close eye on her." Taeil retaliated. Kun sank in his seat. Taeil had a point. Ever since the coven had spelled her, they had kept a close watch on her.
"Jaemin knows, doesn't he?" Kun finally said. Taeil nodded.
"I think her family would like her back, but at the end of the day it is her decision." Taeil told the two. Mark exchanged looks with Kun before taking a deep breath.
"Hyung, there's just one problem." Mark said to Taeil.
...
"So she has until she's eighteen." Jaemin said. His group of friends were gathered in their lounge again, this time with Mark. Mark had filled them in on all the information he knew about Jimin.
"Her vampire form will return on her eighteenth birthday." Mark confirmed. "But there's also another way." Mark continued.
"What is it?" Rena asked leaning across the table.
"The coven can reverse the spell. We just need all the elders that created it to be together with her to reverse it." Mark told them.
"But there's a problem." Jiwoo said, surprising the group. She had been quiet for most of the conversation.
"What?" Haechan asked, curious.
"Wizards have an alliance with the Faerie Kingdom, which doesn't seem very fond of vampires in the moment." Jiwoo said to the group.
...
This is a mess. Doyoung thought to himself as he looked at the board members gathered around. They were breaking down the current situation, trying to figure out their next steps.
"So we have the Witch Coven and Vampire Royal Family, currently holding Naeun, a faerie. The Faerie Kingdom is preparing for battle, in alliance with the Wizard Coven. General Na has an alliance with the Werewolf Pack, but we're not sure where they stand with preparations. The Vampire Royal Family is also preparing their guards while they're at it. Am I missing anything?" Taeyong asked Doyoung. The witch shook his head.
"What's our next steps?" Ten asked the group. Silence.
"I think we should decide on where we stand as an agency." Yuta said the unspoken words that no one wanted to hear, trying to avoid eye contact with Seri. The rest of the leaders agreed.
"Seeing where the future holds if each side wins is how we should determine this." Kun said.
"I think we all know what we should support." Seri said. The eyes of the board members turned to face the girl. Seri inhaled sharply before letting everything go in one breath. She looked up from her fingers, staring at Taeyong's eyes.
"Whatever we do, we cannot support the Vampire King." Seri said. The rest of the board members looked down at their hands, knowing that the decision was hard on the girl. Taeyong decided to break the silence.
"Now that we all know where we stand, let's look towards the next step." Taeyong said, the rest nodding in agreement.
"We'll stop here for today, we'll meet again within the next few days. Study hard for your academy exams." Taeyong told the group, dismissing them.
...
Renjun yawned as he made his way to the agency for his meeting with Doyoung. Now that the agency had decided to support to Faerie Kingdom and General Na's rebellion, it was time for them to work on their strategy. He quickly arrived at Doyoung's office, were the older male was already waiting inside.
"Did you look at the files I sent you?" Doyoung asked as Renjun took his seat. Renjun nodded.
"Good, let's take a look shall we?" Doyoung said, turning on his glass table. They looked at the simulations Doyoung was running.
"The Faerie Kingdom nor the Vampire Rebellion can defeat the Vampire Royals on their own." Doyoung pointed out.
"They're fighting for similar cause, they should form an alliance." Renjun said to his elder. Doyoung nodded, agreeing.
"How should we make that happen?" Doyoung asked Renjun. Renjun thought for a moment before an idea sparked in his head.
"Hyung, do you know who Na Jimin is?"
...
Jaemin looked inside the café where Jimin had already got a table for the two. He took a deep breath before walking in, taking a seat across from her.
"Hi." Jimin said as she watched her brother take a seat. Jaemin smiled at her as he sat down.
"Are you allowed to be out of the house alone?" Jaemin asked her. Jimin nodded.
"We're only two blocks away from home." Jimin reassured him. Jaemin browsed the menu in front of him.
"Tell me what you want, I'll pay for it." Jaemin said. Jimin shook her head.
"I can pay for myself." Jimin replied. Jaemin put the menu down, staring into the girl's eyes.
"You don't even have a job, I'll pay for it." Jaemin insisted. Jimin smiled back at him.
"In that case, I'll take a sandwhich too."
...
Sora leaned against Jaehyun's chest as the two of them cuddled in his bed. His arms were wrapped around her, pulling her close to him.
"I should talk to my mother." Sora suddenly said. Jaehyun loosened his grip, turning to face her.
"Why?" Jaehyun asked her.
"I think she should reconsider her alliance before putting the coven in danger." Sora replied. She released herself from his arms, getting out of the bed.
"Sora," Jaehyun called out as the girl began packing her stuff. She ignored him, throwing her jacket on.
"Sora." Jaehyun said more firmly this time as Sora put her hand on the doorknob. She sighed as she turned around but ended up hitting his chest. She barely noticed the tears beginning to fall down her face. Jaehyun held the girl tightly as she cried in his arms.
"Jaehyun, I can't sit here and do nothing when the coven is in danger." Sora told him through her tears.
"I know." Jaehyun said, patting her head softly.
