The car stopped right in front of Snowflower house's yard. Then, the door in the backseat opened, and Isaac left the vehicle.
Once he saw the house, it looked intimate and warm. The windows were draped over by curtains, which didn't allow him to see inside.
However, the house was big enough to have several rooms. It had a semi-spacious living room, modern kitchen, semi-large bathroom, and three bedrooms.
There was also an office-like room on the second floor, often used by Sin.
The roof was triangular-shaped, with black tiles slightly slanted to the left. A tiny chimney poked out of the center of the roof.
A fireplace in the living room was flickering with fiery flames, sending a wave of warmth everywhere in the house.
Michael slightly opened the car window and poked his head out, ''Call me when you are ready to be picked up. I will be here instantly.''
Isaac turned to look at him and nodded. Then, he stepped inside the yard and stopped in front of the white front door.
Knock! Knock!
He knocked with his knuckles and straightened his back as he began waiting. Soon, footsteps echoed from the other side of the door.
The door opened slowly, and Luna's mother, Mariah, appeared with an apron draped over her beautiful figure.
Her eyes showed a split-second shock after seeing the white-haired man. Then, she forced a smile and asked.
''You came to visit Luna?''
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIsaac nodded and was let inside the house. Mariah told him that Luna was upstairs in her room, then she went back to the kitchen to continue her cooking.
Isaac walked up the stairs and soon was standing on the second floor. There were several doors, but it was easy to find out what room was Luna's.
There was a nametag with her name and flower patterns painted around it.
Knock! Knock!
Isaac knocked on the door and began waiting. However, after ten seconds, there wasn't any noise coming. He placed his hand on the doorknob and slowly opened the door.
A fresh scent wafted into his ear, and Isaac saw a clean room with light blue walls and a moderate-sized bed.
There was a small chandelier hanging from the ceiling, and windows were covered in curtains. A soft and fluffy-looking carpet covered the whole floor, and next to the wall was a large wardrobe.
There was also a desk and a chair occupied by a beautiful-looking black-haired girl. She brushed her morning hair with a few strands looking out of place.
On top of the desk was a laptop with a website opened. It looked similar to a White Online forum, which was precisely that!
Isaac stopped behind her and leaned closer for her to feel his breath.
''Kyaa!'' She sprung up with surprise covering her face. Her ears were covered with earbuds, and she couldn't hear the knocking because of them.
After seeing the culprit who breathed in her ear, her cheeks flushed, and she placed the brush back on the desk before taking off her earbuds.
''Isaac…'' Her cheeks inflated as she began pouting.
Isaac chuckled and slumped down on the soft bed, ''What'cha looking?''
He was certain he saw the forum website and wondered why Luna was there browsing.
''Nothing in particular…'' She replied with a slight dishonest tone. She grabbed the laptop and sat down on the bed.
Isaac shifted his body and sat up right next to her. Then, they both began looking through the forums.
Several forums talked about Spring Realm and about the things they experienced there. The South Continent player base was raging hard. Other Continent players treated them as inferior and were usually given harsh treatment by them.
Luna looked at her boyfriend and asked, ''Has this happened to you?''
''No,'' Isaac answered. He had only seen two players, and they weren't treating him such.
''Good…'' Luna's mouth curved upward, and she leaned slightly left to rest her head on Isaac's shoulder.
Isaac scrolled the forum down and saw several articles about other villages also surrounded by something that made progress difficult.
There was a village surrounded by a large lake, and it was full of dangerous water creatures that would swallow the player whole. Just by reading it, Isaac couldn't do anything except pray for whoever ended up there.
Then, there was also a village surrounded by jungle. It seemed similar to the forest that surrounded Rainwell Village.
The last one he read was about a village surrounded by a swamp. Some were drastically different than others, but some had slight similarities.
After reading enough, Luna closed the laptop and placed it back on the desk. Then, she returned to the bed and looked at Isaac, whose eyes didn't have the same glow as previously. It was like he was always deep in thought.
''Is everything alright?''
Isaac slightly flinched after her out-of-nowhere question. He wryly smiled and nodded, not really planning to tell her about yesterday. It might change the way she looked at him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuna tilted her head, curiosity filling up her insides. She felt like Isaac was hiding something important.
To change the topic of conversation, Isaac moved closer to her and said, ''My mother would want to meet you.''
''R-Really?!'' She didn't expect that and felt her heart pounding.
Isaac smiled and nodded.
Luna's innocent-looking face beamed. She began smiling as she thought his family hated her for some reason. But now, her worries were removed.
Seeing her smile made him smile as well. But then, he remembered something.
''Right…'' His voice attracted Luna's attention. Then, she saw his smile, which caused her heart to pound with a pink hue about to spread around her cheeks.
''I received Resin of Dreams, the second ingredient for Dream Potion.''
''Eh?'' Luna's flushed face turned shocked, ''W-W-W-Wha, already?!''
Isaac smiled and nodded. It didn't take long for him to get trapped in a hug with excited-looking Luna, whose body tightly hugged his.
They fell to their backs and enjoyed each other's warmth while lying on the bed. The two mounds touching Isaac's chest made his lips dry and throat parched.
Luna kept innocently smiling while blinking. Slowly, she felt something hard poking around her stomach.
''Hmm, what is that?'' She lowered her gaze, but then Isaac touched her chin and raised it with slightly blushed cheeks.
''Ah, nothing,'' Isaac replied with a slightly embarrassed look.
She pouted and didn't believe it one bit. Again, she tried to lower her gaze but was instantly trapped in a passionate kiss with Isaac, whose distraction worked perfectly, and Luna forgot about the hard-poking thing completely.
Her sweet honey-like lips were smashed together with Isaac's slightly dry, still soft lips.
