Let me be a mob! - Chapter 103- Fiona\'s consideration and sacrifice?
“As I said, these injuries are nothing worth fretting about.”
After Fiona was done with her assessment, she finally settled down beside him, however, her eyes still vigilantly traced his body to find any lasting wound, just in case.
Fiona indeed was aware of how cruel and brutal the President of the Student Council could be at times, however, she didn’t know she would push Jin to such an extent just because of the upcoming examination of Jin’s individual skill. It almost felt like Amanda was pushing him into a crash course.
“So…how the chat with Dia went?” Jin sounded a little awkward asking that, for obvious reasons.
He didn’t want to sound too intrigued about this topic yet he wanted to ascertain things before the week came to an end, so he could arrange some necessary measures for their team to come out as the best.
Team performance was something in which Jin paid more interest as of now.
Fiona remained silent for a moment, as her gaze traveled toward the shining moon hanging in the sky, before a soft whisper left her lips,
“She is hopelessly in love with you.”
Jin raised his brows, as he was unable to discern what Fiona’s current mood was, based on her tone. Despite she said that, and how Jin had assessed her natural personality, Fiona didn’t seem too displeased about it.
Or rather he wasn’t too proficient in reading the situation?
“And so…what do you think?” Jin asked with an uncertain tone delivering his words, while he gazed at her attractive features from the side.
Fiona didn’t reply immediately, rather she turned her gaze to lock it with his before she asked in a slightly heavy tone,
“What do you think, Jin? I mean, as a woman, can you accept Dia in your life?”
“…”
…this was something, that surprised Jin.
Jin was taken aback since until now, he was on the defensive. He wasn’t trying to take any bold step here in the anxiety of hurting Fiona in any manner. It wasn’t that he didn’t respect Dia’s feelings, but that part of his life needed some time to take any conclusive turn.
But now, that Fiona has raised the query without beating around the bush, Jin decides to man up and tell her everything without leaving any chance of misunderstanding,
“Haah…truth be told, I do like her, but this feeling I have for Dia is whether romantic or not, I am not quite sure. There is something I harbor for her like the very thought of something happening to the Princess makes me boil up…but I am not sure about the relationship.”
Fiona heard what she expected yet a heavy feeling still weighed down a major part of her heart. She somehow gulped it down. It wasn’t that she wanted to discourage Jin from being truthful, rather she was happy that he told her everything without holding back, and, a major part of her consciousness cares for Dia, like a true sibling.
Fiona and Dia have been together since a very early phases of their lives despite having different social standings.
Fiona was naturally a cold and indifferent person so no one tried befriending her, and Dia’s position in society offered the girl some fake pleasantries in the name of friends all her life.
Fiona needed a friend just to experience friendship, but Dia desired a friend since she never had a close person with whom she could share all her grief and happiness.
So when it comes to the person, Fiona has always regarded as her family, she can’t remain selfish and try to break another bond, Dia has finally summed the courage to form.
Putting her hand on Jin’s, Fiona smiled before relaying her genuine thoughts,
“If it’s possible for you, Jin, then please give her a chance. She deserves it.”
Her words, earned a big reaction from him, as his lips parted slightly and his brows touched the sky. Fiona found the reaction cute as she couldn’t help chuckling a bit.
“I am…astounded.” A verbal confirmation of his reaction, which urged Fiona to continue,
“Believe me, I am more surprised than you. I never thought that there would come a day when I would suggest Jin have someone else beside me.”
Polygamy was not an uncommon practice, and it was done by both men and women in today’s generation. The more powerful a ruler is, the more amount of offspring they want to leave behind, so the question of polygamy was never a too shocking possibility for a skillful warrior like Jin.
However, considering Fiona’s possessive nature and how protective she generally seems around him, most of the people, either in their friend circle or just merely schoolmates, have guessed that Jin would remain monogamous.
Jin couldn’t help shaking his head with a deep sigh before he pulled the girl in his arms, and allowed her soft frame to lean against him.
“You really treasure her, huh Fiona.” There was no necessity to name this ‘her’, since both of them were aware of the only person besides Jin about whom Fiona actually cared about.
“Well, she has no one else than me. How can I leave such a soft-hearted girl behind and move on?”
“That’s…true…” Despite being a princess and a very strong contender in the race to the throne, Dia never possessed those traits that were necessary to crush others and pave her path toward the ultimate destination.
She indeed was talented and quite a brilliant fighter, however, when it comes to things about conspiracies and politics, she just becomes any other pure and simple girl out there. And with that personality, she would get consumed by the nasty competition of her siblings.
Regardless, both of them didn’t share another word after that, as their body remained attached, and fingers interlaced in a soft hold.
The serenity of the weather and the beauty of the night was something one could only cherish the most, with a peaceful mind and a lovely companion.
Jin didn’t know for how long he could relish this feeling, or whether in the near future, this world would exist to even think about having such a benign moment with his love, however, because of the fear of what was to come, he didn’t want to destroy his present.
Suddenly, his focus went on his thumb which was subconsciously rubbing against the middle of her ring finger, before out of nowhere, Jin made a proposal,
“Hey, Fiona…after graduation, let’s become a family.”
