[Novel] The Mirror [Chapter 4 (4/4)]

"Let's do some short debrief before all of us rest. We all need rest, a complete rest," said Sungmi, "that girl in the cloak must be one of the evil guardians. From Hyunki's story, I predict that she knows Minseong's identity so she tries to kill Minseong while he is vulnerable - in his sleep. So from now on, I think you guys can't sleep separately and we also need some people to guide those vulnerable bodies."

"All people sleep in one place with two people becoming guards?" suggested Minseong.

"That could be a good option. Minseong, I can't skip this moment to compliment you. You can endure in such a long battle without being injured and you even can counterattack her. I'm so proud of you, our youngest guardian."

Myungwoo smiled while patting Minseong's shoulder, "you did well. Thank you for staying healthy, Minseong."

"Someone should debrief Hyunki and Sikyung in your world before you all go to sleep."

"I can do it. Let's go to my place tonight," asked Myungwoo.

"And as you can see... this place isn't the same as the country I went to three years ago... something bad must have happened here. We need to rush to the castle, but we need to be recharged first, in case we need to do more battle tomorrow. We will start tomorrow evening. So before that, let's choose the people who will come here or to become the guards in your world."

Myungwoo look at his friends: Bonhwa - he can see the fire in his eyes - he must be angry with this situation; Minseong, Daesun and Minsook who looks tired; the calm Kichul who stay near Minjoon; the injured Minjoon; the curious Hyunki and Sikyung; and the tired princess Sungmi. What will happen with them in the future? And even though there are so many uncertainties, there are still three things that are certain: princess Sungmi is still with them so they should be okay, he will protect everyone with all his might and Sikyung is here. He doesn't know if he feels happy or not with her presence. On one hand, he will see her often from now on but it also means her safety will be at risk too.
