Morning, 2 days later.
Two persons can be seen standing in front of Shin's house. One of them was a boy with red hair and another was a beautiful girl with black long hair. It was none other than Simon and Elena.
Because of the appearance of the labyrinth. Their plan to visit Shin was delayed. But after two days they were here to meet him.
Soon the door opened and they were welcomed by a tall handsome man with black hair and blue eyes just like Shin. He was 188cm tall. His lean body with tight muscles made him look even more handsome. Even the cool and collective Elena was dumbstruck for a moment. Simon noticed this and tapped on her shoulder.
Elena quickly collected herself and got embarrassed. This was the first time it happened to her.
Shin smiled seeing them. He was very happy to see them again. He got a bit emotional.
Seeing him smile Elena was fascinated.
'What's going on with me?'
'Who is this guy?'
Elena had never seen this handsome man. But seeing his similarities with Shin she had thought it must be Shin's relative.
But soon she heard the handsome man in front of them speak with a smile.
"Come on in guys," Shin said as he let them into the living room.
Simon and Elena followed after him.
Simon smiled and hugged Shin emotionally.
"I'm so glad to see you safe, buddy," Simon said with a small tear in his eyes.
Shin also smiled at Simon. 'I'm so glad he is alright.'
But he soon broke the hug and said "That's it, man. How long are you gonna hug me?"
Simon smiled at Shin's conjecture. This was the Shin he knew. Although Shin had changed a lot. He will always be his best friend. The same old dumbass Shin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElena who heard their conversation was dumbfounded. She collected herself and asked in shock.
"Are you Shin?"
Simon smirked at Elena's reaction. This was what he wanted to see that's why he didn't tell her beforehand. He was satisfied to see his sister's cool persona break down.
"Yes?" Shin didn't know what to say. Although his body became healthy and bulkier he was still the same guy. How could she not recognize him?
At his answer, Elena's mind went blank. This was not what she had expected. Although Shin was a nice guy she had never thought of him as someone this handsome. She thought of him as a nice guy with average looks and a good personality. He was always kind to her. So she kinda liked him too. Whenever Shin came to their house she was always happy.
But now they were telling her that this handsome man was Shin. What could she think? She had liked him before and with how handsome he became she had fallen for him even more.
Shin was the perfect guy for her. She also had a feeling that Shin liked her too. She noticed that in the past. But she was hesitant to make a move on him because of his pessimistic personality. He used to be always downcast.
But this Shin is totally different. His youthful charm and his bright eyes. Which used to be dim and lifeless. They are now full of energy. This was how she always wanted Shin to be.
Shin noticed Elena's wide eyes as her mouth was agape open. He chuckled at this sight. This was the first time he had seen Elena react like that. It was fun to watch.
Elena got embarrassed seeing Shin suppressing his laughter. She collected herself and sat gracefully.
'Now I won't be hesitant anymore. Shin is mine now. I can see our happy future ahead.'
Elena was very confident in herself and was sure no other girl could compare to her. But her dream shattered a moment later. When she saw a beautiful girl entering the living room.
Beautiful blue eyes, deep as an ocean. Purple hair with shades of blue. Petite body with a height of 168cm. Chest neither too big nor too small. Her youthful figure shows that she will become more beautiful in the future than she already is. This girl's beauty can be easily compared to Elena's.
Elena was shocked.
'Who is this girl?'
'She is so beautiful.'
Alice, who entered the living room, Immediately noticed two new faces. She was inside her room when she noticed someone arrived at the door. She walked out of her room only to find out Shin getting hugged by a guy.
'Is that another gay?' Alice frowned.
She was already concerned about other girls approaching Shin. Now she had to worry about guys too. How frustrating. She wanted to know who this guy was. But she met with a surprise.
It was only an emotional hug. Shin and this guy were friends.
'That's good. Everything is clear.'
As Alice was thinking that she noticed Elena sitting on the couch and froze.
'Who is this girl?' Alice got wary of her. Her mind was on Alert. The woman in front of her was very beautiful. She was a threat.
Although Alice was thinking about all that. She didn't show it on her face and normally walked toward them.
Shin noticing Alice coming toward them smiled and started introducing everyone.
"Guys this is Alice."
"Alice this is Simon my best friend and Elena his little sister."
"I hope you guys get along well."
Shin said with a smile. He happily introduced them. He thought maybe Alice and Elena could become good friends. They were not much different in age after all.
Alice smiled at Simon. 'If this guy is not into Shin then no problem. I forgive him.'
She turned to Elena as she said.
"Nice to meet you guys. I'm Alice."
"Hello Alice, I am Simon."
"Nice to meet you too. I am Elena."
While inwardly she was thinking.
'SO, THIS IS THAT BITCH ELENA.'
'What do I do? The wretched bitch is here. The home wrecker. She is here to destroy my peaceful life with Shin.'
'Should I kill her?'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'But Shin told me to get along with them. I can't kill her without any solid reason. Or at least here. Maybe I can deal with her separately.' Alice just wanted to finish Elena off as fast as she can.
Elena also didn't like the fact that another girl was living with Shin under the same roof when she had already set her eyes on him.
"Shin tell me about her. Is she your girlfriend?" Simon asked not understanding the atmosphere and making Elena angry.
Shin shook his head and started explaining how he met Alice and a little about her. They had understood that.
Simon looked at Alice with emotional eyes. This girl had lost her family and was left with no one. But she met Shin and is now happy.
Elena also had sympathy for this girl. She can also relate to her as she and her brother had also lost their parents 5 years ago. But they had each other to support and relatives who helped them. Along with Shin's family who always supported them.
Alice had no one. So she felt pity for this girl but that didn't mean she would give up on Shin. As per Shin's explanation, it was clear that they weren't in a relationship. But if she doesn't do anything. She might lose her chance.
"Ohh, welcome Simin and Elena. I'll make something fast, you guys chat with each other?" Reina saw Simon and Elena and immediately went to make breakfast after greeting them.
Elena and Alice wanted to help but Reina rejected them telling them that they should enjoy and relax.
Shin noticed an awkward atmosphere between Alice and Elena. He thought.
'Maybe we should give them some space. So the girls can talk and become friendly with each other.'
He gestured for Simon to follow him, who didn't understand Shin's intention but agreed nonetheless.
"You girls chat with each other. We will be back soon." Shin said with a smile and went upstairs with Simon.
Alice looked at Elena coldly and Elena did the same. Both of them looked very dangerous.
Alice's eyes turned crimson red and started giving off some pressure. Elena was surprised but she didn't back down. Her eyes turned crystal silver as she fought the pressure. This time it was Alice's turn to be surprised.
The pressure between them continued for a few minutes before both of them stopped and returned to normal. This was not a time or place to fight.
"So what are you to Shin?" Elena asked. She knew Alice had feelings for Shin and she wanted to tick her off.
"Much more than you can ever be," Alice replied with a glare.
Elena's mouth twitched. This girl was very shameless. She needs to teach her a lesson.
"Don't even think about trying anything?" Alice said with a terrifying gaze.
"Who are you to warn me that?" Elena replied with a sharp gaze. She wasn't one to back down.
