Chapter 8 - Her Missions [4]

'I am sleepy at this moment. Tell me about the rest tomorrow, weird creature in my mind.' Propping her face on her hand, Jiwoo found herself being in a deep thought. Everything felt like a dream to her at this point, and she was suspicious that she will be waking up, finding all of this is a dream. So far, what she had clearly understood was humans were divided into three, and three kinds possessed different types of characteristic— all of which weren't known by Jiwoo. One of that kind was known as the Red Clan, and it was her responsibility to protect the prince of that clan by using her supernatural powers. However, before that, she was needed to train her strength. Even if Jiwoo did not like the entire thing, she was aware that this entire situation was irreversible, and if she wanted to find Chaeyoung and get rich early, she needed to finish all of this missions. Those two thoughts were enough to motivate Jiwoo. After all, Moon Jiwoo was not someone who lost that easily. Jiwoo found it harder to keep her eyes wide open, and she let out a large yawn. Nonetheless, as Jiwoo had mentioned before, she wasn't going to sleep at that mattress regardless of what happens, and if she laid on it, it will be going against her pride. "Stop being this stubborn, Jiwoo. Just go and sleep on the mattress; I wouldn't be teasing you. Don't make yourself suffer due to your pride." 'Did I give you permission to talk!? I am fine with being here, and don't talk inside my mind unless or until I call you! You don't know how annoying it is to have such an unattractive voice talk in my mind.' Holding in her temper, Minnie decided that it would be for the best to not argue with Moon Jiwoo. Knowing how Jiwoo was, it would be never-ending until she was the winner. Although Jiwoo was tempted to go and lay down on the mattress, she knew that she couldn't give in. After all, she, Moon Jiwoo, wouldn't go against her word regardless of what happens, and moreover, she doesn't want that Minnie to win. Soon enough, her arm gave out, and laying it flay on top of the table, Jiwoo laid her head on top of her arm. Closing her eyes, Jiwoo drifted off to her Dreamland. °°° Feeling a sharp pain go through her back, Jiwoo woke up, and an ache went through her neck as well. This was due to her sleeping position yesterday, and Jiwoo found it difficult to move her neck. Pushing her chair back, Jiwoo stood up and let out a wince. Irritation rose within Jiwoo due to the pain, and holding her back, she attempted to stand up straight. Looking around her, she realized that she was still in that tiny room of hers and let out an annoyed groan at that. It seemed like whatever happened wasn't a nightmare. 'Yah! You weird creature in my mind, I hope you know that all this is because of you!' Hearing no reply from the voice in her head, she felt more annoyed, and trying to move her neck around despite of the pain, she tried to get rid of the ache. Her stomach growled at that moment, and looking down at it, Jiwoo patted on it. Feeling hungry, she decided to go out to see if there was something to eat. Unless or until her stomach was fixed, Jiwoo wouldn't be able to think straight. As Jiwoo was about to walk towards the direction of the door, the door in front of her was slammed open— somewhat surprising Jiwoo— and she took a step back. Standing in front of Jiwoo was the ugly woman she had punched the other day, and looking at her face, she could see the signs of that punch. Minnie was right; her strength really was amplified. "Yah! Shin Daerin, what are you doing by being asleep until this late!? Are you forgetting that you have breakfast to cook!?" The woman shouted whilst her eyes glowered upon Jiwoo Coupled with the current aches on her body, Jiwoo felt a headache building due to the woman's loud voice, and feeling extremely irritated at this point, she glared at the woman in front of her. "Ugly Lady, have you forgotten what happened yesterday?" Jiwoo asked threateningly as she raised her fist.
