Chapter 258- Argument And Thoughts (Part 1)

Kai was surprised for a second by Kaya's response. Kaya had never talked to him like that before. She always used the nicest words to address him. He didn't even need any other sign to understand that she was angry on him for some reason.

So, Kai's eyes went back to Aria, questioning her as to what happened. Aria noticed that and shrugged before she whispered to him.

"You didn't tell her that you were going to enter the tower." She said.

Kai was surprised for a second as he looked at her. "What? I did say that."

He clearly stated that he was going to take a look at the tower and then come back and that was exactly what he did. So, Kai turned toward Kaya who was still standing alone, not looking at him at all.

So, he approached her carefully. Although he didn't understand why this would make Kaya upset, he still decided to be calm and gentle about it. He didn't want to make this a bigger problem.

"Hey, can we at least talk? Doing this won't fix anything." He said.

"..."

"Kaya?" Kai insisted as he approached her even closer. Kaya, on the other hand, was struggling not to turn around and hug him. Call it being a pity, but she was still upset with Kai not doing exactly what he said. However, to keep that position of hers took a lot of willpower and ability.

She was very much glad that he came back safely, after all.

"Kaya, listen to me." He kept insisting and finally, Kaya lost all desire to stay silent and turned around. However, her face still looked stern.

"Why did you do that?"

"Do what exactly? I don't understand what you're even angry about." Kai asked with a calm tone. He didn't want to show that he even understood what she as upset about.

"You said that you will check it out and then come back quickly. But instead, you entered that place without even knowing what could be inside. That's not what we agreed on." She replied.

Kai, however, shook his head. "I did say that I will explore it. I didn't say I will simply take a look from the outside and even if I said that, that tower is too odd to simply ignore. If I didn't enter it, who knows what could've happened?" Kai pointed at the descending toward as he continued. "I know what I'm capable of and if I deemed that this tower was dangerous, I would've not entered it in the first place."

Kai's words sounded logical and on point considering his abilities. However, that didn't fully convince Kaya.

"I already know that. But, what about your illness? What if you were hit with the symptoms and ended up stuck in there? There are many things that could've happened that would've threatened your life. You aren't as invincible as you should be, Kai. That's why we're even doing all of this! Because I don't want you to die! Your life is more precious to me than anything else!"

As she spoke, Kaya's voice wavered ever so slightly. She couldn't contain her emotions at that moment. Just the thought of losing her darling was enough to make her lose her mind and she wanted him to understand that.

However, one sentence got stuck in Kai's head. 'You aren't as invincible as you should be.' Those words, for one reason or another, didn't sit well with him.

"Who said I'm invincible? I already know that I'm not invincible. Everything I do is with a risk and I'm grateful for your help. I'm learning how to control the symptoms and I'm seeing some success. I don't get completely open when I get them now. I consider your life as important as mine too. But things needs to get done and I'm not going to let the fear of death stop me from doing them." Kaya noticed that Kai's tone changed for some reason and she was taken aback by it. 'Did I say something bad?' She didn't know that one of the things she said was something that Kai didn't want to hear. So, she ended up falling into a mistake she wasn't aware of, yet.

Meanwhile, Aria watched the argument ensue with a little frown. She wanted to stop both of them but she didn't know how. Both had fair points and both were right one way or another.

"Kai… I didn't mea-"

"Forget it." Turning around, Kai walked to the edge as he stared into the distance. He wasn't in the mood to talk anymore.

Kaya watched his silhouette with a guilty look. She wanted to approach him and talk to him and at the same time, didn't want to make it any worse.

With that, some time passed like that till Kai noticed an object in the horizon heading towards them.

"She's here…" He murmured as he turned around and signaled for the two girls to get ready since they were going to leave any time now.

A few minutes later, Chal reached the cliff.

"What in god's name is this place?" Her partner murmured as he looked around the cliff.

"Since when did this land exist? And why can't I see it on my radar?" He turned to Chal with a confused expression.

The woman had the same confused expression if not even more intense. She was a boat maker so her knowledge about geography was very good. Never in her life did she hear about a place like this and what was even weirder is that it wasn't discovered before.

Such a vast land was almost impossible not to notice.

"What did Kai do this time?" She sighed inwardly. In the years she knew that young man, he was always a trouble magnet. Wherever he goes, trouble and bizarre occurrences will follow him like a curse.

"So, where is he?"

"Let's wait here for a while. if he doesn't ap-"

"I'm here."

As they were like that, they heard a cold voice behind them, the two instantly screamed at the top of their lungs in fright. Looking back, they saw Kai standing in front of them, holding a giant bone on his shoulder.

"... What… Where did you come from?"

"From there." Kai responded as he pointed at the cliff.

"I see." Taking a deep breath, Chal exhaled as she noticed the two girls behind Kai. Their eye-catching beauty made her smile.

"What? You got two more now?" She asked with a smile. "Where is that Eva girl? I miss her."

"No time for chats now. We need to leave." Kai said as he ignored her questions.

Meanwhile, Chal's partner was gazing dazedly at the two extremely beautiful girls. So, Chal gave him a tap on the head.

"What was that for?!"

"For staring at what's not yours. Now, turn on the boat and let's go."

"Yes, captain." He rolled his eyes and did what she asked from him.

A few seconds later, the boat turned around and started moving away from the piece of land and into the vast ocean.

The trip was going to take hours, so everyone sat down. Kaya was with Aria and Kai approached Chal to discuss something with her. "Fuuh, want a smoke?" The woman was staring at the vast ocean while smoking her cigarette.

"I don't smoke."

"I know you don't. Just courtesy of my benefactor."

"..."

"So, what was that place?"

"I don't know myself."

"You don't know where you were?"

"I ended up there coincidentally after some weird occurrences."

Chal wanted to ask even more questions but when she saw Kai's confusion, she sighed with a chuckle. "I guess that makes sense. It's really a weird place. It give me the creeps." She added as she stared at the vast cliff that stretched far into the horizon behind them. "I've been to almost every place in the world and yet never got that feeling before."

Something about that place felt off. Just looking at it gave Chal the chills and she didn't even know why. It was certainly not normal no matter how she looked at it.

"Keep this a secret. I don't want anyone to hear about this."

"Since when do I snitch? You're my friend and I would never sell my friends."

"Thanks, Chal." Kai replied as he went silent, staring at the vast sea.

The woman noticed his weird mood and so she asked. "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing is never something you think about, kid. Your eyes are obviously showing your true thoughts."

Kai was surprised at how observant Chal was. His expression and demeanor were the same and yet she still noticed that he wasn't behaving normally.

However, that didn't mean that Kai wanted to tell her about it since he really wasn't in the mood for talking about such things.

Kai almost wanted to question his ability to hide his emotions because of it.
