The Heir of the Sea
Ask Sincerely...

Baruna was accompanying Snowy who wanted to watch a ginseng country drama movie.

"What's this sageuk movie about?" Baruna asked curiously. Snowy looked good watching it.

Note: Saeguk is a term for a royal-themed Korean drama.

"It's about a queen during Joseon's reign. The strongest queen mentally and physically in maintaining the order of the royal heir. She hated Suri. The king is also a lot of concubines" Snowy explained while chewing caramel popcorn.

"Well cool dong. Ordinary Queen in this movie is always persecuted. There is no real resistance" said Baruna who continued to stare at the scene of the drama.

"That's why I love this movie. Cool loh! Crazy aura of the player. Though the role of the Queen is still single but can show my sincere love for a mother. Moreover, the Queen is considered as the Mother of all the people in her time right" explained Snowy who stared in admiration at the playwright.

"That's who?" Tanya Baruna pointed to one of the princes in the Korean drama.

"That's the Queen's son. He has a disorder that likes to look like a woman so ngendap ngendap so" Snowy explained.

"Have you been found out that you're the same??" Baruna asked about the scene.

The two got carried away in the conversation commenting on every scene of the film they watched.

Baruna's cell phone rang. Ethan Christian's name is calling.

"Hello" Sapa Baruna is cold.

"Una Hai. What are you doing?" Ethan's voice was heard.

"What the hell are you calling me Una? Am I unagi??" Baryna asked with her jutek.

Note: Unagi is another name for processed eel food (in Japanese).

"I like to call you that. Are you busy?" Ask Ethan.

"I was watching. You just interrupted me" said Baruna honestly. She is enjoying the drama that she and Snowy watched together.

"Haha. Ii'm sorry. I just wanted to take you out to eat together" Ethan said honestly.

"In order?" Ask Baruna wonder.

"Thank you for saving me" replied Ethan.

"Oh. I'll take Snowy" said Baruna, not wanting to go alone with Ethan.

Snowy looked at Baruna's face in wonder as her name was called.

"I'm skip. You just go" said Snowy who was lazy to come out with Baruna and Ethan.

Snowy wants to marathon to watch the Korean drama she likes.

Snowy's words certainly sound oleg Ethan because Snowy's voice is quite loud when talking.

"How, Una?" Ask Ethan to make sure.

"All right then. Where's?" Ask Baruna.

"I'll pick you up at 7pm tonight" Ethan said.

"alright. I close first" Baruna said, then disconnected the call and refocused on watching.

Snowy smiled faintly, her sharp eyes could feel that someone was watching them lately. But every time Snowy searched for that source, the creature instantly disappeared without a trace at all.

Until the afternoon. Baruna takes a shower and gets ready to go out with Ethan. Baruna chose a simple but graceful dress when worn. Baruna does prefer a simple and closed appearance.

But when she became Avisa out there she was forced to adjust her appearance according to Avisa's habit of always wearing branded clothes is also always minimal and open.

Because today he's going with Ethan who knows who he is. He feels more relaxed and comfortable being able to wear what style he likes without having to pretend.

"Rubid. Very beautiful Miss. Want a date?" Ledek Snowy's.

"Damn you!" Said Baruna pissed off at the ledek.

"You're different than usual" Snowy commented.

"Yes. My original style is like this. Avisa's style is too open for me" Baruna explained.

"Oh~ Ah yes I want to remind you something. Whether you realize it or not lately something is watching us and I guarantee it is not the Dragons and their man. Because every time I look up I'm always flashing without a trace. Be careful" Snowy said.

"alright. The creature is crazy enough to dare attack me when the Dragons are with me" Baruna said casually.

"Maybe if they really want to become ashes" Snowy laughed.

Before long Baruna's phone sounded a sign of incoming messages.

"I'm already downstairs" - Ethan-

Baruna immediately took her sling bag.

"He has arrived. I'm going first. In the refrigerator there is still a lot of your favorite meat" said Baruna.

"Just calm. Go away" Snowy said casually.

Baruna immediately went downstairs to meet Ethan who was waiting in the car.

Ethan opens the car door for Baruna. A small concern that Ethan has never done to any woman in his life.

"Where are we going?" Ask Baruna.

"steak restaurant. I've booked a private room. You can be happy there with your form" Ethan said with a smile.

Ethan is happy to be alone with Baruna even though Ethan can feel Baruna who is still in cold mode.

"What's wrong? Your smile is suspicious" said Baruna, who saw Ethan smiling to himself.

"I'm glad you wanted to come with me for dinner" Ethan said honestly.

"Oh~" Baruna just oh ria.

The car drove to one of the famous restaurants. Setau Baruna restaurant can only be entered if visitors have booked from far away.

"Come on" Ethan said, inviting Baruna into the restaurant.

The two were allowed to enter a special room. The room looks decorated with fragrant and fresh rose flowers.

"Why is it in this place?" Ask Baruna wonder.

"Eitherway. I just said I wanted a special room for two" Ethan said honestly. He did not ask the restaurant to decorate the room. He was sure if done then Baruna would not be comfortable.

"I've ordered the best meat dinner set. Do you want some more food?" Ask Ethan.

"No need. Later" said Baruna.

10 Minutes later, the waiter delivers their order and closes the door.

"They can't go in and out without permission. If you want to be who you are then do it" Ethan said with a sweet smile.

Baruna thought for a moment. It might not be bad if he changed into his real figure. Moreover, the room is private and there is no CCTV in it.

Baruna changed her form from Avisa to Baruna. Seeing that Ethan smiled, he could see Baruna's face again.

The two began to enjoy dinner.

"Like something you want to say" said Baruna guessing.

"You okay?" Ask Ethan stale base.

"I don't think that's what you want to say" Baruna answered and looked at Ethan.

"I love you Baruna" Ethan said sincerely without hesitation.

Baruna fell silent. The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds. Baruna does know and can see Ethan's sincerity. But his heart was frozen and wrapped in vengeance. No more part of his heart can accept the word 'love' from anyone, because love also destroys it.

"I told you never to think or hope anything. I'm no longer the old Baruna" Baruna said coldly.

Ethan took a deep breath and looked back at Baruna.

"I just confess my feelings. Not asking you to repay me. You know and feel my true love. I really mean Baruna. Let me be by your side and take care of you" Ethan said with sincerity.

"You don't have to take care of me. I can take care of myself" Baruna said and returned to enjoying the food.

"But I'm sure you'll need me to keep your secret well and destroy everyone who's been bullying you. Besides, you have to make sure your parents are okay, right? " Serious Ethan said.

Baruna fell silent as Ethan mentioned his family.

"What do you mean?" Ask Baruna cynically.

"I'm not threatening you don't misunderstand me. I just wanted to say I knew everything. I also know you're targeting Frans. If you want to destroy him without him knowing until he wants to die, I can tell you how. I've known him for a long time and know all his business" Ethan said seriously.

"And about my parents. What do you mean?" Baruna asked again with a scrabbling look.

"I'm sorry I had to go see your parents. They're fine. I'll make sure of that. Let me represent you keep them close" Ethan said honestly.

"Are you serious?" Ask Baruna to make sure.

"I'm serious and I'm sincere. I loved you from the first time I knew you. Let me into your world. I might as well have dealt a lot with the world other than humans" Ethan said with a serious look.

Baruna seemed to think for a moment. Perhaps he did need someone he could trust as a real human being. Especially when he needs an alibi to avoid being caught.

"So what's your plan? To help me" asked Baruna.

"You can be my business partner so as not to be suspected. You can also come with me to attend Frans' show" Ethan said.

"Event?" Baruna asked curiously.

"Yes, an event that seems ordinary but has a dark hidden transaction"

Ethan looked at Baruna meaningfully.
