Semua Bab Tears' Curse: Bab 21 - Bab 30

When they returned home, the twins went up to their rooms to get changed, leaving only Miracle and Melvin downstairs. Hayden wasn't around, again. Silver fronds in the living room swayed, more so when they sensed the dragon girl approaching. Their veins stretched into fine hairs, dissolving into wisps of smoke that merged with the rest lingering around the house. A small wisp leapt forward and brushed against her forehead as if it had five fingers. As Miracle stroked the grayish blades, she felt an instant replenishment of the elements in her body."I didn't know you're interested in decorative flowers.""Decorative flowers?" She glanced back, only then realizing that these plants must've seemed dead to a mortal. "Oh." She chuckled. "Yeah. A... A little.""Miracle..." "Hmm?"Rubbing his palms against the pants on him, he wet his lips and stammered, "Actually I..."When he failed to deliver the words, he went behind her and dropped a piece of black cloth over her eyes before she had

'It's time to wake up, Melvin.'"Who are you?"'You know I hate failures.'"WHO ARE YOU?"'I am you. You're me. We're...'"Melvin!"He jolted awake to Miracle's breaths brushing past his skin. Startled, he quickly pulled back his arm and withdrew his body from her.Too close.'A dream?' he thought.Glancing around, he realized that the lesson was still going on. And he, was still in class. Their literature teacher, Sam, didn't notice that one of his students had just woken up from a doze. He was so engrossed in copying the notes onto the whiteboard with his calligraphy handwriting. The extra curve he added to the letter "F" had turned it into a "P" in everybody's eyes except his own. The missing dot on the "i" made it seem like it was joined with the next letter "n", forming an "m". He claimed it was stylish when it was just a bunch of messy chains of alphabets grouped together to form words.Melvin dropped his eyes back on Miracle, the deskmate he had requested to be with on his firs

'W-What?' Miracle was shocked.Melvin tugged the pink ribbon loose, letting her silky black hair cascade over his face. The fleece blanket drooping from the edge of the bed was kicked to the floor. Their kiss was deepening. She could feel his tongue reaching for the peak. For the first few minutes, Miracle didn't do anything to stop him. She stared right into his closed eyes, feeling her heat rising, listening to his soft moans escaping through the tiny gaps between their locked lips. She knew this was wrong. It shouldn't be happening. But in that moment, she couldn't bring herself to break the kiss.'What is wrong with you, Miracle? Get away from him!' "M-Mmph... Let go!" She squeezed out the words, finally struggling to break free from his arms. Melvin's body lifted slightly as she pushed him away, but he caught her wrists and pinned them back down, tightening his hold. He ran his fingers through her hair like she was the only one who mattered. Miracle forcefully tore herself from

"Stellaerio Annual Dinner! Oh, yes! I've been waiting for this," Jessamine exclaimed, kissing the invitation card with joy.Jordan rolled his eyes. "What's so special? It happens every year."She drew in her body and placed her elbow across the division line—onto her deskmate's area. "Exactly! It only happens once a year and... Hey, hey!" Putting on a dreamy look, she asked, "Should I ask Melvin to be my partner?""You can try..." he murmured, labeling the apparatus he had sketched on his chemistry lab report—the sodium hydroxide experiment where they used hydrochloric acid to neutralize the solution to get those little crystals."Right?" Running her fingers through her straightened hair, she rummaged in the front pocket of her bag for her mini mirror. "I look pretty good, to be honest." "If you don't mind being his another rejection," Jordan said, pointing his chin toward the line of girls crowding Melvin's seat, "go ahead.""Can't I be the lucky girl he is waiting for?""Please." He

All it took was a twitch of her lids, and the scene was transitioned back to her room. It was the second time Miracle cried while watching the memories of the same person she barely knew."I'm sorry."The lady was still in her room. But when Miracle took a step forward, she took a step back. "Don't. Stay where you are," the lady uttered. "She'll disappear if she's too close to you."Miracle glanced at the door. "Hayden, you know her?""Of course, I do." The pain in his blue eyes was unmistakable, glinting like shards of glass under the harsh light of day. "The greatest white dragon of the celestials."He stopped his heavy steps at the corner of the room, hesitating if he should get any closer. "Her remaining energy drains every time she speaks to you," he continued. "And this... is going to be her last time." "What do you mean?""She's dead, Miracle.""D-Dead?"Hayden rested his aged back against the wall. "Because of her sin, her soul has been trapped by Long Shen in that book of
