Chapter 23 - Good morning lanark

The hall goes silent. Every person in the room turns toward them.

"Wait, what was that?" says one of the people standing with a wine glass in hand.

Kara grabs Sera's hand and pulls it toward him.

He gets up and starts to walk. Sera, still drunk, wobbles right and left as she walks in heels.

Snap! Her heel breaks as she tries to walk.

She tightens her grip as she falls, still holding Kara's hand, face red from the alcohol.

People all keep staring at them.

"Why is it her? It should have been me," says one of the girls gossiping.

Kara looks at the top of the staircase.

Haji steps inside right then. He looks at Kara. Their eyes meet.

Kara nods to him.

"Hello everyone, thank you for joining this fine evening!" Haji starts to speak.

Every person's attention goes toward Haji.

Kara then grabs Sera's shoes, lets her grab the heels, then carries her in his arms like a princess.

He quickly runs inside a giant door in the middle of the wall that leads to the orphanage.

The door closes slowly.

Kara just stands there with Sera in his arms, as we hear the faint, muffled noise of the main hall and Haji giving his speech.

Kara looks at Sera in his arms. "How careless can you be to drink without thinking?" he says.

Sera's face is goofy from the alcohol, a bit angry and calm. She sees Kara looking at her.

"Kara, am I beautiful?" she asks, pulling her face close to his.

Kara tilts his head with a sigh and a gentle, embarrassed smile.

Tink! There is a sound of glass clashing slightly.

Kara looks ahead of him. He finds two maids looking at him one with happiness and fluster, and the other calm.

"Uhh…" says Kara.

With discomfort, he politely asks: "So, how long have you two been sitting there with the glass?"

One of the maids with brown hair says: "Umm… right when you entered." She speaks with a pleased face as the maid with green hair and glasses just stares at her.

"Yeah, right," says Kara, closing his eyes, face red. "I need a guest room ASAP. Can you make it ready?, Mira what's that expression for" He says looking the maid with brown hair.

"Kara, I wuv u," Sera just blurts out, poking at Kara's face.

Mira looks at them. "Of course," she says, but in her mind: Aww, just look at them, it's like a novel come to life. Ahhh, I'm gonna explode!

The maid with glasses looks at her and thinks: You sure are hyped for some reason…

The girl with glasses looks at Kara and says: "Okay, I will make a room ready right now."

"Thank you, Meha," says Kara as Meha starts to walk off, dropping off the cups in her hands.

"No problem. Oi, Mira, get moving."

"Okyy," Mira says.

Kara sighs as Sera is still poking his face with her fingers.

Kara opens a door and steps inside, revealing a very modern, luxurious bedroom with a couch and a library near it.

He goes near the bed and lays her down.

"Kara, why don't we do it?" Sera says, looking at him with a drunk, flirty, embarrassed face.

"What do you mean by that?" Kara asks, looking away, flustered.

"What I meant was—"

The door opens up and Mira peeks in. "Sir, I have made the room re—"

She pauses, staring.

Sera, laying in the bed, just says: "Chuuuuuuu~"

Kara notices and looks back.

The door closes.

The door opens again. "It's nothing like you saw, okay?" Kara rushes out of the room, looking at Mira sitting right there, smiling.

Mira looks at Kara with a smirk, putting her hand on her mouth. "What do you mean, Sera?" She mimics Kara.

Kara gets even more flustered. "Why you—" he says.

Mira just runs off.

Kara gets back inside slowly and looks at Sera on the bed… but she's not there.

Kara gets alerted. Wait, where did she go? he thinks.

"Tell me I am pretty," a noise comes from the floor.

Kara looks down with tired eyes.

He sees Sera on the floor, rambling.

"Awhh…"

"Ah, there you are," says Kara.

Kara enters another room with Sera.

"Hey Mira, get her some clothes and help her change."

"Okay, should I get something sedu—" Mira tries to speak with a happy face when—

"Maybe something like what you would wear when sleeping," Kara says, giving a cold smile.

"Okay," says Mira.

Kara stands up and starts to walk. Maybe I should come back after changing too… it's not like I'm needed in the party anyway, Kara thinks in his head.

Kara, now in casual clothes, stands in front of the door outside Sera's room and finds Mira as she's closing it.

Mira notices him.

"Is she feeling all right?" Kara asks her.

"Yeah. Didn't know you had a girl caring so much for you — she kept babbling about you so much," she says with a giggle.

"Yeah, yeah, right. Now get back to work," says Kara. She giggles.

The door closes slowly.

Kara sees Sera in the bed, all laid down, babbling: "Mmmm… why not beautiful, I love you, say me why?"

"Wait, which language is she even speaking?" Kara says , unsure and confused.

"Oi Kara, where are you?" Sera shouts as she rolls in the bed.

"Sure got some confidence when you're drunk, huh?" says Kara as he approaches her.

"Aghh, I'm just so mad," Sera says.

Kara looks at her. "Wait, what did you just say—"

She grabs his shirt and pulls him toward her.

She comes closer to Kara. "Why? Do you hate me?" she asks.

Kara's eyes start to dart here and there, flustered. His gaze rests on her lips.

She comes closer… closer… closer…

Until she falls asleep and knocks her forehead on his lips.

Kara, in his mind, thinks: Bang!punches a wallThat frikn hurt!

Back to reality, he stands up, pulls a blanket over her, and sits on the couch. He opens his book: History of the World and the Creator Kaelion.

Chirp chirp.

Kara opens his eyes at the sound of birds. "Uh wha… where am I?"

He sees a ceiling similar to his room, but his vision is from the floor.

He tries to move his hand. "Wait, why is my hand not moving?" he asks himself.

Then realizes: "Wait, someone is on top of me!" as a body is pressing against him.

He feels something squishy on his chest. "Is it what I think it is…?"

"Ah, what do I do? There's like no room in this small gap between"

We see Kara stuck between the coffee table and the couch on the floor, with Sera on top of him, using him like a bed.

"Mmm…" Sera starts to make a sound.

She opens her eyes, rubbing them. "Who… where am… I?"

"Ha! How did you make us end up like that?" Instantly, Sera wakes up, gets out of the position and grabs her body with both hands.

"I should be the one asking you!" shouts Kara, spreading his hands with an angry expression.

"Wait, now you say that?" Sera puts her hands on her chin, thinking.

Kara thinks as he looks at Sera: Yeah, my head hurts. She is more dangerous than she looks.

Sera, with her hands on her mouth, starts getting flustered and red. "Wait… the things that happened… I need to take a bath!" She rushes inside the bath.

Bam! The door closes.

"What do I do with this girl…" Kara thinks as he stares at the bathroom door.

Kara walks out of the orphanage.

"Hey everyone, Kara is here!" children start to jump and run toward him, happily pulling their hands out.

Tak tak — someone walks toward Kara.

As Kara is smiling at the children, "Hey," a voice comes his way.

"Why didn't you tell me you liked me, honeyyy!! Chuuuu~" Hachi comes closer to give Kara a kiss.

"Nice one, little devil. It's just the thing I need early in the morning." Kara grabs Hachi's cheeks tightly.

"Sorry, big bro! Sorry, I didn't mean—"

Kara laughs like a devil. "Now I need a proper sorry, right guys?" He looks down at the children.

"Right!" say the children.

Sera slowly opens the window and looks outside to find Kara playing with the children. Her eyes glow faintly. with a smile.

Her ring finger's ring also appears and glows as she grabs her hand tightly. Patterns and writings glow on her finger.

Kara pats one of the kids on the head as his fingers start to glow as well.

Kara notices it. "Wait… the ring."

He looks toward the room Sera is staying in.

Sera sees Kara looking at her and blushes a little.

"Is that your girlfriend, Big Bro Kara?" one of the kids asks.

Kara looks at her and says: "Oh no, we're not."

"Then why don't you, It's hard for me to see you guys just get so close with like no progression at all," Mizuno says from behind.

"Right," says Kara…
