Kapitel 15: Chapter 15
Author Note:
Yup! I definitely wrote a paragraph about MC's physique changing and him becoming slightly taller after getting Gacha gifts but I can't seem to find that paragraph in the previous chapters so I'm posting MC's image here!

"Ugh! That man is taking his sweet time it seems, let's have dinner first what do you say?"
Soo Jin said while looking at the clock, although her husband had a late meeting, he should have arrived by now.
Song and JinAh looked at each other and nodded.
The three were enjoying a home-cooked meal together when Song Yi's mother received a call. Her expression became worried as she listened to the caller.
"SongYi's Appa says his boss has invited him for drinks after work to celebrate the big project," she relayed to the girls.
"sigh* He won't be home until after midnight."
Jin-Ah felt a twinge of panic. Song Yi's father was supposed to drop her home after dinner since it was getting late.
As if reading her mind, Song Yi's mother said, "Jin-Ah, you're welcome to stay the night here instead of waiting so long for Song's father."
Jin-Ah hesitated. "Thank you for the kind offer, but I need to water my plants at home tonight And I also have school tomorrow ."
Song Yi looked disappointed but understood Jin-Ah's responsibilities. Her mother nodded in acquiescence.
"Then let me call a taxi for you" Song Yi's mother insisted. "It wouldn't feel right to send you on foot so late."
Just then, the doorbell rang again. Song Yi's mother answered it to find Azaroth standing outside.
"Well, Hello Mrs. Soo Jin, Sorry to disturb you again," he said with a smile. "But I think I left my mobile phone here earlier."
"Ah! Azaroth~ Not at all, come in!" she replied cheerfully.
Within minutes, she had located his phone buried under a couch pillow.
"Haha, I guess it was there, thanks Mrs. Soo Jin," He looked at her big jugs and said, "Your heart is really big... ehm! now I should leave"
As Azaroth thanked Song Yi's mother, she said loudly, "Fufu~ silly boy~ Ah! Since you're here Azaroth, would you please drop Jin-Ah home? You see, Song's father won't be back until late."
'Heh,' Azaroth turned to Jin-Ah. "I'd be happy to give you a lift if you don't mind the company." He winked, the ghost of a smirk on his lips.
Jin-Ah was taken aback by the suggestion. While wary of Azaroth's intentions, going with him did seem better than the alternatives, but she was still feeling uneasy.
'Looks like she needs a little push... ' Azaroth thought.
"Come now Jin Ah, I know my dashing good looks must seem suspicious." He flashed a roguish grin. "But I promise I'm not a serial killer. Unless they're hiring these days?"
It seems Jin-ah's warryness eased a little.
He continued, more softly, "We're classmates, are we not? Trust that I simply wish to help."
Jin-ah looked at Song Yi as she was about to say something, but recalling Song Yi's anger from before when Jin-ah had doubted Azaroth's intentions, she didn't say anything.
Jin Ah weighed her options, still wary of Azaroth yet unwilling to upset Song Yi further. With a resigned sigh, she nodded reluctantly. "Very well. But no funny business, I-I know some martial arts."
'Ya ya sure~' Azaroth grinned in his mind.
Azaroth placed a hand over his heart in mock solemnity. "You wound me! I shall be the picture of propriety, I swear it."
"Fufufu~ now don't be shy Jin-ah and go, I'm sure Azaroth is a busy man." Soo Jin said while giggling. She liked Azaroth more and more.
As Jin-Ah waited by the entrance gate of Song Yi's complex, she heard the rumble of a powerful engine growing closer.
Azaroth took his car from the parking. He drove up in a sleek silver vehicle, pulling to a smooth stop in front of her.
-it was an Aston Martin V12 Vantage, with its roof down exposing the buttery leather interior.
(Car's image).
Her eyes widened in disbelief,
She had seen James Bond driving one in a movie once, barely believing such a luxury car could exist in real life.
Azaroth rolled his eyes at her expression. "Are you waiting for me to open the gate too? Come on, hop in." He smirked in a way that was almost cocky.
still stunned, Jin-Ah walked around and lowered herself tentatively into the passenger seat. The leather was impossibly soft beneath her fingertips. She felt as though she was trespassing being in such an extravagant vehicle.
"Put your destination on the map.." He said to which she just nodded and hesitantly put her home's location on the car's map.
The car ride began in awkward silence as Jin Ah mulled over the day's strange events. After a few minutes...
'Why is suddenly being quiet?'
'Umm, Should I say something..?'
Wanting to break the silence, she nervously cleared her throat and attempted to start a conversation.
"So, A-Azaroth, Are you enjoying your time at school?" she asked trying to act calm.
Azaroth glanced at her with a half-smile. "Oh, school's been... interesting, to say the least. I'm adjusting."
Jin-Ah nodded, trying to keep the conversation going. "It must be different for you, being a transfer student and all. How do you find Korea so far?"
Azaroth chuckled softly. "Well, it's certainly livelier than I expected. Your country has its own charm."
Feeling a bit bolder, Jin-Ah probed further. "Is this your first time in Korea? What brought you here?"
Azaroth's gaze remained on the road ahead as he answered, "Ah, you don't know haa? I thought I was somewhat famous..."
He looked somewhat sad and told her about her family problems, gaining a few points in JinAh's teenage heart.
"I-I'm sorry to hear that" Jin-ah finally spoke after hearing his condition, she didn't think that someone as rich as him could still have problems.
Maybe it was her naivety as a teen and her family conditions which mostly revolved around paying hospital bills and rent, that she had thought all rich people were lucky.
"You never talked to me inside school. So I thought you might have hated my personality from my past interviews... But I guess you didn't even knew me..."
"Ah! T-The school... I-I..." Jin-ah felt embarrassed and didn't notice the mocking tone in his voice.
'....Cute' he thought.
"Well, Enough about me. How about you? How's school for you?" Azaroth changed the topic.
She hesitated before replying, "Oh, well, it's school. Nothing too exciting. How are you finding the classes?"
Azaroth shrugged casually. "Classes are classes, I suppose. I manage just fine. What about your hobbies? Any interesting ones?"
Jin-Ah sighed inwardly, realizing Azaroth wasn't exactly the most talkative companion. "I like gardening. I mentioned earlier I needed to water my plants tonight."
Azaroth raised an eyebrow. "Gardening, huh? That's not something you hear every day. What got you into it?"
"Nothing as a backstory behind it, Since I mostly am alone, I wanted to keep a pet but because of financial reasons, it was next to impossible..."
"Then, I started growing plants in my room as my pets!"
"Oh! I would love to come and pay them a visit sometimes" he teased.
"Eh? N-no... I-I mean su..sure"
After that, they chatted a little more as they neared their destination.
As their conversation continued, Azaroth spoke,
"You know, Jin-Ah, I think, Jin Woo should take the job"
He didn't know that Jin Woo had already decided to take upon the offer.
Jin-Ah's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't mentioned anything about her brother being approached or the Supply Potter position to anyone.
"How did you...?.. "How did you know about that job?"
Jin Ah was putting the pieces together.
"It was you, wasn't it? You were behind them seeking him out."
Azaroth didn't say anything and just smiled at her.
Jin Ah's mind swirled with suspicions. "Why would you go through so much trouble? There must be something you want in return."
"It's nothing, Song Yi had told me about his condition actually, "
Then he said softly, "I know what it's like, feeling you have to carry the world. I just did what I could, with the little power I held over the Guild."
Saying that he suddenly stopped the car.
"W...Why did you stop?" Jin-ah asked.
"Well, we have already reached the destination." He replied to which Jin-Ah looked out and confirmed.
She came out of the car as Azaroth without a word just drove away.
"W..wait!" Jin-Ah wanted to at least thank him for dropping her home but his car faded away.
She had thoughts that he would try to come inside her house making some excuses about wanting water or a cup of tea but he just left.
For the first time, Jin Ah considered that maybe, just maybe, Azaroth's intentions were truly good. Helping her Oppa and Song Yi without asking for anything himself.

Author Note:
I know I wrote a lot of dialogue, but I guess, instead of just writing, They talked inside the car as Jin-ah now seemed to see him in a good light, this kinda stuff right?
I think it was necessary to show what changed her views towards him and how he treated her, or how they both felt. IDK man*sigh*
As a noob, it took me 3 hours to think and write all these dialogues. I much prefer writing porn*sigh* * I Sware upon my Favourate Milk*
