“Please don’t take this the wrong way, Mies-Oppa…but that Pink Hoddie really looks great on you!….Is there just anything that doesn’t looked good on you?…we tried coats, Jackets, shirts…everything…all the thing that you tried looks absolutely great…”. (Celine)
In the end, we only made a stop at that one boutique for the whole afternoon, the ladies enthusiasm went on for the whole afternoon, we even have our light lunch there, thanks to Park Hye Sung accommodating us the whole time we were in her boutique. Before we left, I naturally bought everything that I test wear, and those which Hwa Young had picked for me, also I bought everything that the ladies chose, which nearly cleans out the whole Boutique stocks, which totalled me for about nearly 200 thousand dollars.
“Of course there’s nothing that looks good on Oppa…Mies Oppa always looks good, but most of th
“Good Night, Hwa Young…<Chup!>..”.[..Now this is new from you…Tucking in a woman that were already yours…instead of going straight into actions..Usually, a drunk woman is in her most vulnerable state, and with her, really liking you…it’s always will be 100% success when you demand sexual intercourse with her…Yet, you didn’t and just tucked her drunken self in her bed…I wonder why~..]. (T.A.S)To T.A.S opinion about why I acted weirdly, I just didn’t want to comment about that, to me it’s just doesn’t feel like it was right, to go straight to the intimate intercourse with Hwa Young in her conditions like that. We are not like that, just like her, me too were also deeply connected emotionally to her, if she loved me, so do I, that is why, if we were going to keep moving forward in this relationship, I rather move forward with her, rather than me taking a
“[The Constructions of our New Building is already in it’s 60% completions stage….But, Mies why the old design?…I don’t mean that it was old per say..but your preference, of the interior is kinda a little bit gloomy…I must say..]”.(Catherine)“I just like it that way…I want the main hall, the first floor…the floor where everyone get into when they set foots inside of Virtue Financial Headquarters to be like that….it would show that we are not the same as any other company on earth…the rest of the part of the building, is up to you…do as you want…but the ground floor…I want it to be the same…100% according to the design….”.Last night I only sleep at 4 in the morning, not because of the cleaning crew but mostly because I were doing Hwa Young laundry and also mine, which compare to her, was only a single clothe
“ERMM~…oh!..my head~…ahh, hangover~..Hwa Young-Ah..why did you always have to drink so much~..Especially the day of your date…..wait…date?…where?….this is my room…how?…”. (Hwa Young)Hwa Young who’s wake up with a splitting head aches and a parched throat, were stunned to remember how she was able to get back from her shopping, then just like a film playing in her head she remembers everything that has happened that led to her, being on the bed right now. She remembers that yesterday, she ran through the street and meeting with Mies, then went to do everything with him the whole day.“Oh NO!..my house!…<TOK!>…Hwa Young-Ah!..you stupid girl…why didn’t you clean your house!…Ahh!…he saw everything last night!!…”. (Hwa Young)Then another waves of memories flooded into her head, especial
With Mies were the one who cleaned all her laundry, and he reacted as if it was a normal thing to do for him, Even if Hwa Young have some other thought that runs through her mind, Such as how embarrassing it is for her, to let her boyfriend were the one who cleaned all her laundry including her many underwear’s. She can’t really get mad at him or even get overly shy with him, Because the other party seems quite unhindered with it.“Oppa..Usually, it was the other way around…a girlfriend were supposed to do all this…cleaning your laundry…cooking your breakfast….but, it seems for us…it was always the other way around…”. (Hwa Young)Probably this is the way that this relationship were going, Hwa Young knew that Mies isn’t like any other man she had ever meet. The way he looks and act, he was always cold to anyone, he acted the way he wanted and stay true to himself, but whe
“How do I say this….which do you want to hear?..the short story or the long and detailed story?…”.Sipping my coffee, I looked straight at Hwa Young at this point of our relationship. I think I was appropriate for Hwa Young to really know a little bit about me, have her take looked and glimpse into my life and history. After all we both were in a relationship, and honestly I myself know the importance of honesty in relationship, I rather she heard everything from me than hearing it the first time from another person mouth. By then if she knows about me and the things that I’ve done, who knows this calming and loving atmosphere between us might disperse into nothing and left me, regrets.“...Which ever Oppa felt comfortable, telling me…I just wanted to listen..”. (Hwa Young)Hwa Young herself knew that the story will be deep, as to where it’s leads and it’s co
To be honest I wanted to tell her everything about my story, but I thought some part of life, sometimes better not to be told, Unless it was trully necessary. My time Working with UN and the Mafia were just too complicated to be told and carefully dissect, not many can accept the things that I have done with opened minded, Because most of the things that I do, were all straight up crime and all for my personal interest. Of Course another reason for it was, if she knows what I’ve done, the will perhaps put her in some danger, who knows if she unintentionally slips, and spoke about it. By then, not only me, but perhaps even her might be in danger.“Oppa~ today, are you going somewhere?…I have to go out in a minute…I have some photo shot for a commercial today…”. (Hwa Young)Hwa Young shouted from inside of her room, I were in the Living room, relaxing on the sofa as I were channel surfing.
Feeling the dread from Mies simple question, Catherine knew that something has gone terribly wrong. Catherine were one of the only person that has known Mies for a very long time, even before Virtue Financial started. For those who knows Mies very well, It was given to understand his traits and behaviour, Most of the time he was a very warm person, even if you joke with him he would just treated you the same. He is not a petty person, he just didn’t mind everything that much, that is just how he is, despite his cold rebuttal and reply, he would listen and didn’t judge you.But Mies has a particular attitude that when he showed them, Those who close to him knows, it wasn’t the time to play around and be wilful before him. There a special tone is so unique to him, that when he asked you a simple questions, it would made you feel like death sickle is placed around your neck, and if you didn’t be honest and acted like a fool, fooling around a
“This is the first time I see you really screwed up..Ran Hyun Ok-Ssi…”. (Bang Dae Jung)Inside of a Limousine, the atmosphere were so suffocating yet not a single person dared to speaks out of turns, nor even wanting to speak a single words aside from Bang Dae Jung who were inside the Limousine, Along with Ran Hyun Ok, with her VKMT team members.It was certainly comes as a shocked to everyone in the Virtue Financial Korea Branch building today. Because all of a sudden, the entire building were cut off the grid. It was the first time ever that this has happened. After that, the entire building were locked down, then seconds passed the entire building were swarmed with Virtue Financial Security department Agents. Which every employee of Virtue Financial affiliates knows, it was the departments that only worked and also the departments that were the only one who had the full control of the entirety of every Virtue Financial
“It is said that if knowledge was water,” said their guide, a half-elf librarian named Vestra, “then Aeternum’s library is the ocean.”In a grand central chamber, they passed under a dome showing a starmap that changed with real-time sky positions. Every known nation had a section—yes, even the smallest and poorest. Aeternum had made it a point of pride to gather the history of every people in the continent, even those now forgotten by time.“This is… our old crest,” Queen Inariel whispered, her fingertips trembling as she reached toward an illuminated tome. “From three centuries ago… when our land was still one forest, before the wars divided it…”“We thought this was lost,” murmured Thelric as he came upon a scroll written in his kingdom’s ancient language, long dead and unspoken.Their tour grew quiet. There was no mocking here, no pompous declarations of Aeternum’s superiority. Only quiet reverence. A nation this strong, this secure, chose to preserve—not dominate. It guarded the
A knock at the door interrupted the quiet hum.It was Director Kwak Lum, again dressed in his signature dark blue robes, his draconic features smiling as he entered.“Honored guests,” he said, bowing respectfully. “Allow me to welcome you, on behalf of the Aeternum Crown and President Mies Sai. You are the first stars to light the Summit’s sky, and we are honored by your presence.”The gathered leaders rose and bowed in return.“We will ensure your time here is not just comfortable,” Kwak Lum continued, “but fruitful. Tours of the city have been arranged. Economic delegates will arrive within days for pre-summit discussions. And the Four-Leaf’s hot springs are now fully prepared—though I dare say our chefs may be the true stars of the Resort.”Laughter rippled through the room.As Kwak Lum left, Queen Inariel turned to the others. “Let them come in airships. Let them come with fanfare and marching bands. We came with purpose.”“And humility,” Brogath added.“Let’s make sure the world
Ambassador Roland cleared his throat. “Director Kwak… if I may speak freely?”“Always, Ambassador Roland.”He stood, brushing a hand across his waistcoat. “We are humbled. To house our people in such a place… it is more than any of us expected. We… we feared being seen as the weaker voices among the UNA.”Kwak Lum’s smile broadened, his eyes gleaming like starlight. “We do not see you as weak. We see you as family.”The moment lingered in silence, the kind that needs no words. Roland sat down; cheeks slightly flushed but heart a little lighter.Outside, beyond the floor-to-ceiling window, the sprawling city continued its dance of preparation. Massive floral displays were being installed at the roundabout leading to the Summit Plaza. Colorful banners were raised in quick succession, displaying the names of each arriving nation. Already, the delegation from the Dukedom of Angela had arrived in a train of shimmering glass carriages. The Republic of Telvinia’s airship hovered just beyond
“Attention citizens of the Free Nation,” a cheerful voice echoed across cobblestone streets, “this is an international broadcast. In four weeks’, time, the UNA Summit will commence in New City, Aeternum. Thirty-one proud nations will stand together under one flag of progress, cooperation, and shared security. We celebrate an era of peace—an age of unity…”The words echoed like thunder in the council chamber.Outside, people paused to listen. While many among the elite scowled and turned away, others in the lower districts paused, curious. Some even smiled. The promise of unity, safety, and growth was seductive—especially to the common folk, burdened by Triangle Guild’s centuries of unchecked power and exorbitant fees.Kennedy noticed it. “Look at them… even our own people are considering it.”“They’re weak,” Carn muttered. “They don’t understand what’s at stake.”Alphonse’s brow furrowed. “Or maybe they do. Maybe they’re tired of being bled dry by guild taxes and levies. Aeternum gave
In New City, President Kaiser Mies Sai met with his advisors. The room buzzed with discussions about the upcoming summit and the potential threats from dissenting nations.Advisor Elena: "Mr. President, intelligence reports suggest increased propaganda from the Principality. They aim to discredit the summit and our initiatives."President Mies: "We anticipated resistance. Our focus remains on unity and progress. Let their words be drowned by the chorus of cooperation and shared prosperity."The President's resolve was clear. The UNA would not be deterred by the dissent of those clinging to outdated and oppressive ideologies.As the summit drew nearer, the world watched with bated breath. Supporters of the UNA saw it as a beacon of hope and collaboration, while detractors viewed it as a threat to their traditional power structures.In the Principality of Light, the Church intensified its rhetoric, urging its followers to resist the UNA's influence. Yet, whispers of dissent emerged even
The Ministry of Infrastructure has begun preparations to reroute major traffic corridors to accommodate the anticipated diplomatic convoys and foreign delegates. The Ministry of Culture is also curating a week-long cultural exposition to showcase Aeternum’s diversity and progress.President Mies’ spokesperson confirmed that multiple major policy announcements are expected during the summit’s plenary sessions, including topics rumored to include:Official designation of the Aeternum Credit as the UNA’s preferred trade currency. Establishment of the UNA Education Oversight Bureau. Expansion of continental transport infrastructure, and. Strengthened defense cooperation under UNA guidelinesNo foreign media has yet been granted interview access to the President ahead of the summit, but sources within the Black House suggest the upcoming event is being viewed as “a generational turning point.”"The world is watching. The people are ready. And in five weeks’ time, New City will become more
Aeternum would continue to offer education, security, and infrastructure assistance—but always in a way that ensured we maintained our lead.We would teach them how to build schools, but we would own the publishing rights to the most advanced textbooks. We would help them create local militias, but they would still call for Aeternum troops when true threats loomed.We would help them modernize, industrialize, prosper—but they would know, always know, that Aeternum had already blazed the trail further ahead. I didn’t want vassals. I wanted allies who could never quite catch up—because they didn’t need to. They needed us to lead.I rose from my chair and walked toward the window. New City stretched into the horizon, its shining towers and clean streets proof of what discipline and vision could achieve.If left alone, the world would fall back into darkness. If left to their own devices, these medieval kings and nobles would tear each other apart again. The future needed guardians. The U
I knew what was at stake. We had to uphold this example. We had to show, beyond doubt, that the age of “Human First” was over.That the only supremacy left was the supremacy of character. Wisdom. Unity. Vision. And if we could carve that truth into the very soul of the UNA—if we could bury the old hatreds under libraries, not graves—then maybe, just maybe, this world could finally, finally leave its chains behind.I stood up from my chair, moving to the window. Out there, the city pulsed—an endless, living testament to what was possible when walls were torn down, not built higher. I closed my eyes for a moment. I didn’t want to be remembered as the conqueror of nations. I wanted to be remembered as the architect of a new era.One where no child was born inferior. One where no citizen was condemned by the shape of their ears or the color of their skin or the tail on their back. One where power didn’t mean oppression—but opportunity.Aeternum would be the beacon. And the UNA? The vessel
I took another sip of tea, letting the warmth spread through me.Because here’s the delicious irony: by copying our education system, they didn’t just adopt our books and schedules.They were adopting our mindset.Every child who learned using our curriculum. Every teacher trained by our methods. Every official who quoted Aeternum textbooks. They were all little seeds planted deep within foreign soil.In ten years?Those nations would think like us.In twenty?They would be like us. All without a single sword being drawn. I leaned back in my chair, utterly content.Without armies, without bloodshed, we were gaining soft political power over thirty-one nations.Real power.The kind that shaped futures. Mina clinked her cup lightly against mine in a silent toast, her green eyes sparkling.“To the future?” she teased.I smiled, lifting my cup.“To the future we’re writing,” I said.And out there, beneath the quiet, darkening sky, the seeds of a new world had already begun to bloom.The n
