Date- 30 Mar 2321

Time- 21:31

Location- Sky Blossom City, F-rank Common Grade Horned Hare Heaven Gate Dungeon

Anna is hot and tempting like fire. Like a moth to a flame, even though the moth knows flying too close to the fire could burn it, it still can not go against its instinct. That's how tempting the fire is to it, and Anna would be the same for any men, so I did not trust myself to go on dinner with her, just the two of us.

" That ain't fair for me," said Anna looking into my eyes, having neared me, before I knew it, her lips locked with mine. Her tongue forced into my mouth. It met little resistance in doing so. After a good 5 seconds, our lips separated as a string of saliva formed a bridge to our mouths. Anna wiped it and added, "with this, it is fair. Pick me up tomorrow morning. I will be waiting."

"Yuck!" Corey looked at us with disgust in her eyes.

"..." Susan maintained a calm expression, but she was devastated inside. She hid the pain and misery she felt in her heart. She thought she had suppressed it and had resolved to focus on work. Turns out she was fooling herself. She wanted him more than anything in her life. Coming to this realization Susan couldn't hold her facade longer, Susan turned and headed to the woods.

"Big Sis, where are you going?" Asked Corey as she followed behind speeding Susan.

"To hunt horned hare for meat." Susan did not stop to explain herself. She rushed into the woods, yelling out the first excuse that came to her mind.

"But Nick has already brought enough monster meat for all of us," Corey replied but did not stop following Susan.

"I am hungry. I need more." Susan did not even put thought into her excuse this time or try to mask the sadness in her voice.

"Okay," Corey heard the sadness in Susan's voice and stopped questioning Susan. The duo walked deeper into the woods but did not hunt a single monster despite pa.s.sing them on their route. F-rank monsters couldn't keep up with the duo's speed.

*Thud* Having walked deep enough, Susan leaned against a tree in frustration. Trying to fight the pain and misery she was feeling. But it only got worse until finally the tears came rolling out of her eyes, and she suddenly hugged Corey, who was next to her, and whispered, "Corey, it hurts. I cannot see him with somebody else. I want him for myself."

"..." Corey was happy that she could be the shoulder for her mother to cry on, but the context behind this moment enraged her. Why does her mother have feelings for him? Why can't she just forget that guy? Why is this happening to her? Corey was so webbed up in her anger that she forgot to console Susan.

"..." Susan continued to weep on Corey's shoulder. Until her heart lightened, and she was out of tears. Turns out all she needed was a sympathetic shoulder to cry on. Still, she continued to embrace Corey.

'Bright, you know what you have to do, right?' Corey Park's mental voice sounded in Corey's head.

'Can't you see I am already doing that? And it is not working. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I don't know what magic he did on mother. I am unable to wipe her feelings for him.' Corey acted like she did not get what Corey Park was conveying.

'Corey, don't be stubborn. Can't you see how much she is hurting? Does this feel right to you? She trusts you enough to be vulnerable in front of you, and you are misusing it. You are making a mistake.' Corey Park, despite existing, had little authority being Corey Bright's Ego fire, so she tried to reason with her younger reincarnation.

'This pain is momentary. She will overcome it and grow stronger. And it is because she trusts me. I don't plan on letting her repeat the same mistake as she did in her past.' Corey finally revealed why she was really against Susan's feelings for her boss.

'Mistake? Is that what you think? So it was a mistake that she gave birth to you? You got to stop blaming yourself. That was not you. It was another reincarnation of us. She is the one to be blamed, not you ' Corey Bright's words disgruntled had Corey Park.

'I don't blame myself. And don't twist my words and use them against me.' Corey Park's question broke Corey Bright's entire defense.

'Okay, fine. Let me tell you, from what I saw in those memories, mother never considered her encounter with that man as a mistake, as she believed that giving birth to our reincarnation was the best thing that had happened to her. However, our reincarnation proved her wrong in the end. What I am trying to say is that our mother loved and lost in the past. And had n.o.body to count on. But this time, it is different. Let her live as she wants, we will be here for her. If Wyatt dares to hurt our mother, we can always kill him later.' Corey Park's voice reached absolute zero as she spoke the last few words.

'Loved and Lost, huh! If you put it that way. I feel less guilty, and it makes more sense. Still, did it have to Wyatt of all people? That guy cannot be trusted. He kissed Luna the other day, and now he is publicly and pa.s.sionately making out with Anna. How can we trust our mother to be with such a two-timer? I am telling you that man is not to be trusted.' The gossip about Luna kissing her boss had spread like wildfire. After all, there were many people present when Luna let loose.

'That wasn't serious. We don't have to worry about Luna. Anna is the real trouble. She seems to be openly coveting Wyatt and showed signs that she is aware of our mother's feelings for Wyatt. As long as Wyatt has not committed to Anna, we still have a chance.' Corey Park has lived almost a century in a realm where l.u.s.t and carnal desires were celebrated. Her conservative ideology of ancient Korea made it hard for her to accept them but over the years she learned to live with them.
