   [✽] where was her roommate? that was the first thought that crossed her mind as seo joohyun was trying to check the temperature in the oven. this cake was supposed to be done fifteen means ago, but the dough was still so raw. sighing in frustration, seohyun closed the door of the oven with an annoyed look. baking and cooking weren’t two of her talents. she certainly preferred to eat a salad or an already cooked soup than actually cook for her. it was her roommate, who usually cooked for them both. not because joohyun had asked her, but because she suspected the other young woman had pitied her for how terrible she was at this.

    that and because the young woman rarely had time for anything, because of her schedule.

    sleeping in the morning and practicing during the afternoon. joohyun’s nights were reserved to her work. luckily, her customers seemed to like her performances, but her schedule was packed especially at this time of the year.

    today, she had a free night and that was exactly why she decided to have an adventure in the kitchen. seohyun was planning to eat only a piece of the cake, so she would have enough for the other witches at the malefica coven, even if she had an idea that the others were going to refuse because of how terrible she was.

    joohyun’s roommate was out of the town for the next two weeks because of christmas. that was why she hadn’t called her name yet. looking over at the oven, the young witch noticed that the light was on. that was supposed to happen, or at least that was what her roommate had said to her over the phone, an hour ago. but then, why wasn’t the cake done?

    crossing her arms over her chest, she waited for a few more minutes, not taking her eyes from the oven, in case it would explode or something like that. she could always use her magic, if that was the case anyway. not wanting to wait any longer for something to happen, the witch took off her apron and walked out of her apartment.

    perhaps one of her neighbors would be able to help her?

    that was what she was hoping for, when joohyun pressed the doorbell of the apartment next to hers.

( a million thoughts ran through his mind at the very moment to explain the reasons why another person was in the backstage room. only one was the right answer and woohyun knew but refused to admit it. the manager could not have possibly booked another singer, could he? the hunter hadn’t been notified if the other male had. sighing to himself, he ran his fingers through his recently dyed blonde locks and turned his focus back on the female. )

[mxseohyun-blog]

    [✽] the first thought that crossed her mind was if she had received any message from the owner of the bar. did the man change the date of her performance? seohyun couldn’t remember her phone ringing or vibrating with a new message. her customers usually had her number for appointments and dropouts. she didn’t belong to any agency, since she was an independent singer. her phone always had the volume to the maximum because of the phone calls and she couldn’t remember hearing it in her jacket’s phone.

    what was going on? did the owner have two singers playing in the same night? wouldn’t that bring some conflict?

    this had never happened to her before.

    the male forced a smile, despite the awkward situation.

    the corners of her lips curved into a polite, but slight uneasy smile. did this mean that the owner was going to choose only one of them to performance? because seohyun had declined a birthday party to be here and she didn’t want to lose a night only because the owner had contacted two artists for the same day.

    seohyun also had a feeling that the man wasn’t going to leave. so what happened now?

    “I’m not going anywhere.” the witch announced, but she already had a feeling that he knew this.

( the warlock can’t help but to feel disheartened by her words, as they ring too similar to the mindset his own mother possessed. in with the capable and away with the weak, as if the weak did not deserve protecting just the same as those with greater abilities. jaejoong had experienced weakness, and he can’t help but to think how differently these witches would view their ways of running a coven if they knew what it was to be weak as well. )

[mxseohyun-blog]

    [✽] something changed in the man in front of her.

    something clearly changed in him through his entire speech, even if she listened attentively at every single word he was saying. a part of her was honestly interested in knowing what the man really wanted to know about her coven, but it didn’t take her long to realize that it had something to do with the previous coven. it was more than a comparison. it was more than a mere question. he wanted to know what was left from the coven that opened their arms to him.

    the answer to this was probably nothing.

    the slight cold gaze was direct to her when the witch raised her eyes from her hot chocolate cup once again. the man had come to her table to ask her about her coven and now, he was expecting an answer from her. it almost felt like a requirement now and if she gave him the wrong answer, he would probably stand up from the chair and leave. because of this, joohyun almost wanted to say ‘yes’. that she didn’t care about the weak witches and wizards, who searched for a place for them. not because this was truth, but because he was ‘demanding’ something from her, a complete stranger to him. wasn’t this what he was expecting to hear from her? that she loathed the weak ones?

    the corners of her lips curved into a smile. however, her hazel eyes matched the fire in her words when she spoke. “did you come here to judge someone you don’t know?” the question hadn’t been harsh. it sounded like a challenge, daring him to continue what he was saying. the silent accusations were only making her stronger. so far, seohyun had only been careful with him. she had been cautious in case he was someone she couldn’t trust and while she still didn’t know if he was trustable, his questions had brought the fierce side of her out. seo joohyun certainly hated to be judge.

    “it’s none of your business, but I was one of them once. one of the weak ones like you said. I started from the bottom and even if some witches tend to forget this, those memories are still very alive in my mind. they don’t haunt me. they are only part of my past. they marked them. they made me who I am today. I didn’t forget and I didn’t hate being weak. that was what made me strong. so no—“ she paused to give him a harsh look, narrowing her eyes slightly at him. this reaction only lasted for a second as she let out a quiet sigh. perhaps this reaction had been too much, but she honestly felt like he was judging her without even knowing her story. it was none of his business, like she had said, but it still bothered her. “the weak deserve a place in this world and they deserve someone to guide them. if I didn’t have some guidance when I arrived in this country, I would have been dead by now. but I understand why they are the way they are and I’m not the type of person who bites the hand that saved me.”

     [✽] there was a change in him. that was something joohyun didn’t miss, especially since the witch had always been very observant. she couldn’t blame him for the change in his behavior, because in some way her answer could have been taken as a bit hostile. It hadn’t been meant in that way, but everyone had fears and seo joohyun feared to give too much information about herself. the coven was part of her life now and when they took her in, she promised to herself that she would do everything to keep them safe because they had been there for her, when nobody was. even if she wanted to give him to trust him a bit for them to have a nice conversation, the witch was the perfect example that the world is malicious. joohyun didn’t want to show weakness, like she had done in the past.

    “no.” the witch had given him the most honest answer she could give him. “weak witches are not welcome.” why was that even important? that was the question she wanted to do, because why? malefica coven had fallen once. did he accept them to do the same mistake again, so they could fall once again?

    “I wasn’t a weak witch when they found him.” even if this had crossed his mind, joohyun wouldn’t have cared. she had stopped trying to please the others a long time ago. pausing for a moment, she brought the cup to her lips, taking a quiet sip from her hot chocolate. revealing the reason why the coven had helped her was a bit too personal for her, but joohyun also wanted him to understand why they had taken that step. “I was being hunted.” she started before she placed down the cup on the table again. “I was in busan for only a few days and some hunters came after me.” at this particular memory, the corners of her lips curved into a tiny smile. “one of the witches from malefica showed up at the right moment. she was already searching for me, when she found me.” joohyun explained to him.

    she had to pause for a moment, wanting to stare at his face only to see his reaction. would he be disappointed with her coven? “they aren’t bad.” the witch said to him. “they are strict now, but they don’t want to commit the same mistake from the past. I understand and I accept.” she shrugged slightly, lowering her eyes to the cup as she tried to make her hands warm. it took her a few moments to speak again. this time, it was a question. “you were part of the coven before?”

     [✽] there was something different with this meeting. usually, they were always the same. joohyun would knock, byul would open the door. then, the vampire would have her meal and the other female would take the ‘information’ she needed from her race. it was some sort of give and get, even if only joohyun was aware of this deal. however this time, there was something clearly different about this. she had noticed it as soon as she stepped foot inside of the apartment. joohyun couldn’t describe clearly what it could be, but her heart was telling her that something was going to happen.

      it was when the other woman spoke once again that everything started to make sense to her.

      I saw you earlier. where?

      or rather I’ve heard something earlier. what?

      at this point, joohyun was already on the edge. what were the odds of her overhearing her conversation with the other witch? it had been a quiet place and as usual, she had checked to be sure that they were completely alone before she confessed her secret plan. it didn’t take her long to remember that vampires had a special hearing. that was also the moment that the witch put her walls up, wanting to protect herself for whatever was coming next.

      byul’s questions had been direct and even if she had thought of ways of trying to deceive her, she knew they would go around and around with this matter, until they got to the end of this. the result was the same. it would only change the distance of the path. even if she tried to run away from the inevitable, she wouldn’t be able to run away for too long.

      “why? would you be mad?” she asked her, not showing any emotion on her features as she stared at the other woman carefully. “would you feel wounded? or betrayed? would you feel used by me?” joohyun started to ask her, tilting her head slightly to the side as she fought the urge to roll her eyes at this. she had no idea how byul had found out about this, but now it was time to face the truth. “isn’t that what you are doing me? I’m only a purpose for something you want. I'm here because you want to benefit yourself. why would you be mad, byul? I’m only food to you.”

[mxseohyun-blog]

    [✽] when the kindness is too much, the suspicion comes to the surface. that was exactly what happened when he offered to buy her a drink. this wasn’t something she showed on her features, only watching the man in front of her carefully. seohyun truly didn’t believe he was hitting on her, but this was clearly something that really mattered to him. why? what did the man win to get this information from her? she declined his offer by shaking her head. “no thank you. I still have hot cocoa.” she mentioned, taking a brief look at the cup, still half-filled with the hot beverage.

    the short time she spent alone on the table, while waiting for him to come back, allowed her to think about this conversation. the man seemed to be very interesting about the malefica coven. this had been something he admitted it himself. seo joohyun could understand why someone was interesting about the coven, even if they wouldn’t allow everyone to join their family. rules were important. skills were also vital, even if improving wasn’t what the priestess wished to have. the group was selective and because of this, seohyun felt safe there. it reduced the chances of being caught by her family or the dangerous woman from Seoul.

    the man returned shortly. she offered him a smile, closing her notebook with her attempted lyrics to give him some attention. it would be rude to keep it open with him talking to her. picking up her cup, she dragged it to the middle of the table, wrapping her arms around the cup of porcelain. the hot feeling of the heat against the palms of her hands made her feel more relaxed, while listening to the man carefully. “briefly.” the witch admitted to him. her knowledge in the coven wasn’t very large. she only knew a few things. “we have to focus on the present to not repeat the mistakes from the past. It’s the only way to keep the coven alive.” this almost seemed like something she had memorized, but despite everything, she truly believed in what she was saying. “they found me and saved my life. I’m grateful for what they did. it was the coven that came to me, not the other way around. but what exactly do you want to know? I have a feeling that you are going around in circles, without asking what you really wanted to know.” it was a challenge and joohyun wouldn’t deny it.

     [✽] it was going to be a good night. joohyun was very convinced of this. she had done a list of some songs to perform later. they had been the ones she had practiced the most lately. listeners seemed to love them and the witch couldn’t deny that being accepted by her crowd was always a good feeling. it made her heart warm with affection. music was important to her life, since it was very important to her. but nothing would be the same, if she didn’t have her crowd. ‘fans’ was a big word to use to describe them. she wasn’t famous enough to have fans. they were merely listeners, who enjoyed her songs. only covers from other artists, because writing a song had always been a problem to her. something she doesn’t seem to be able to solve.

      placing down her guitar case, joohyun took a deep breath. the list of the songs was at in the pocket of her jacket, but she still had a few minutes (maybe even half an hour) before she had to go to the stage. there was a lot of time for her to take a last look at the songs and start the first chords with her acoustic guitar. the witch was about to unzip the case when someone walked into the room. in surprise, joohyun turned around, believing it was the owner of the bar.

      but it wasn’t. seo joohyun watched the male for a moment before her eyes fell to the guitar case. were they going to have two performances tonight? she couldn’t remember the owner mentioning anything about this. the witch tilted her head slightly to the side, watching him puzzled. “I’m the singer for tonight.” she said. “and you?” seohyun had a feeling she had seen the man before but where?

( ‘ say yes to the cake! ) ; open

      [✽] seo joohyun could have sworn that the cake was saying ‘eating me’. the witch whined quietly with her hands under her chin while she rested them on the table. after eating so much, she shouldn’t wish to eat more. what was wrong with her tummy? why did she want to eat more and more? sweets and desserts weren’t usually things she enjoyed to eat. there was nothing better than salty food and homemade dishes, so why a…cake? staring at the chocolate dessert, she still heard when someone approached her.

      no, she wasn’t going to say no to the cake.

      turning around, she looked hopefully at the person. nobody was going to stay between her and her chocolate cake.

            “can I have a task from you? I need that cake and I’ll do anything for that cake.”
