A few days later, a delicious aroma was slowly spreading through Sunny's ho. He was currently in the kitchen area of the first floor, whistling an upbeat tune as his hands juggled several cooking utensils. There were several pans and pots simring on the stove, and a scattering of fresh ingredients on the countertops around him.
"Ah, this slls so good…"
Taking a step to the side, he produced a strange knife out of nowhere and started slicing and dicing the vegetables, the triangular blade moving so fast that it turned into a blur.
Rain, who was tasked with peeling the potatoes, gave him a long and dark look.
"Sunny… not to doubt your honesty and professional integrity, but how exactly is this a part of my training? Are you sure you're not just using as cheap labor? No, wait… it's not even cheap, I am actually paying you!"
Without stopping what he was doing, Sunny looked at her and frowned.
"Why, of course! I am very sure. Also, is this how you handle a blade? By gods, you just sliced half of that poor potato off and threw it into the sink! It's called peeling, not destroying, you know! Where's your finesse? Where's your precision? Control that knife better! These things are very expensive!"
Rain stared at him with burning resentnt for a few monts, then sighed heavily and continued peeling the potatoes. Sunny grinned.
Effie, who was watching him cook with a wolfish expression, gulped.
"So, uh… it's not ready yet?"
His eyes twitched.
"...Forty seconds, damn it. That's how long ago you asked the sa question. For a hundredth ti. What do you think changed since then?!"
Effie opened her mouth to retort, but at that mont, the doorbell rang.
A sadistic light suddenly glead in Sunny's eyes.
"Oh. I wonder who can it be."
He glanced at Rain and said nonchalantly:
"Rain, go see who it is."
The teenage girl blew a strand of hair out of her eyes, wiped her hands on her apron, and glared at him.
"What, I am your doorman now, too?!"
Grumbling, she put the knife down and went to the door, then opened it.
Sunny observed her with keen interest.
Rain looked up, revealing that the unexpected visitor was quite tall… and then suddenly froze.
Her face paled so much that it turned almost entirely white, and her pupils beca as wide as saucers. Her mouth hung open. It was as though the girl was paralyzed by horror.
Sunny weighted the heavy kunai in his hand and walked over.
As he walked, a strange sound escaped Rain's mouth.
"N… n… n…"
A tall and ridiculously attractive young man was standing on the porch, looking at her with a polite and friendly smile. His hair was auburn and absolutely gorgeous, and his electric green eyes were nothing short of stunning. He was dressed in simple, but exquisitely stylish clothes, holding fashionable sunglasses and a facemask in one of his hands.
"Oh… I am so sorry. I must have co to the wrong house."
Even his voice was charming and velvety, causing one's ears to tingle.
Rain was finally able to force out a word, her voice a panicked squeal:
"N—Night!"
Sunny gave her a short look, shook his head, then smiled at Kai.
"Hyung! You're here! Sorry, the dinner isn't even ready yet… co on in, co on in!"
Kai returned his smile and ca inside.
Sunny raised a hand and poked Rain in the back, then narrowed his eyes and said with exasperation.
"Rain, why are you just standing there? Get my hyung so slippers quick!"
Then, he turned to Kai and sighed.
"So sorry. That's Rain, a girl I tutor. She is a bit slow, sotis."
Kai glanced at her, two lethally cute dimples appearing on his cheeks.
"I am sure that is not true. It is very nice to et you, Rain."
She opened her mouth, trying to say sothing, but no words ca out of her mouth.
Sunny waited for a couple of monts, then shook his head again and bent down to push a pair of house shoes to Kai.
"Make yourself at ho! This is the living room. I'll be over there in the kitchen area for a bit, but please, for the love of gods, can you distract Effie? She's driving crazy."
Kai laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and went in to greet the hungry huntress.
Sunny and Rain were montarily left alone.
The teenage girl breathed heavily for a few monts, then slowly looked down, at her dirty apron and hands with pieces of potato peel stuck to them. An expression of utter horror appeared on her face.
Then, she looked at him with wide eyes and whispered:
"Sunny… why is N—n… N-n… why is Night in your house?!"
He blinked a couple of tis, pretending to not understand the question.
"...What do you an? Kai is a dear friend of mine. We're practically brothers, one might say! What's wrong with you today?"
Sunny shook his head in derision. Rain stared at him in shock, then opened her mouth to say sothing.
However, before she could, the doorbell rang again.
Sunny calmly opened the door, revealing a petite, exquisitely beautiful young woman standing on the porch. She had delicate features, pale blond hair, and stunning blue eyes. Despite the fact that the young woman was dressed humbly, there was an aura about her that made it almost impossible to look away. It was as though she was a pristine heavenly creature that had sohow found her way to the dirty, imperfect mundane world.
In her hand, she was holding a long white cane.
Cassie hesitated for a mont, then turned her head a little, facing Sunny.
"I hope I am not late."
Rain stared at her with a ghostly expression.
"S—s… Song of the…"
Then, she turned to Sunny as well, her eyes even wider than before.
Poor thing looked as if she was about to faint.
Sunny smiled brightly.
'Ah, finally! Vengeance!'
