Dead bodies weren't cleaned up yet. But the plane landed on time. So ignoring those dead bodies people started getting off the plane. Soon the passengers were greeted by the airport management.
Well, they had to come out, after all, such a big incident transpired. But that was not the only reason.
Their main target was the person who killed them. Not to charge them with crimes. After all, those criminals were also powerful awakeneds and they all died in a blink of an eye.
If such a powerful person was traveling by their airline, of course, they have to give their utmost respect and service.
They would want to make friends with such a person.
They would want to give their best care but the problem was they had no idea who was that person and if that person is not coming out that means he or she wants to be kept hidden.
So it's better to just respectfully receive everyone.
Also with the passenger's information, they can find that person sooner or later.
Shin and Alice were waiting to take their luggage. At that moment Alice felt someone bump into her.
"Ah!"
"Oh! Excuse me~"
Alice turned to look at the woman who bumped into her and fell. Wearing a hoodie and slim-fit pants which did not do good work in hiding her beautiful long legs and figure.
Golden brown hair and pale white face. Her eyes were black. Overall she was beautiful but compared to Alice and Elena she was far off.
Also, there's a potential for growth so Alice will become more beautiful. After all, Shin had already met the grown-up Alice and she was too beautiful.
That woman took the support of Alice's hand and stood up.
"Thank you~ I'm sorry, my mind was somewhere else." That woman said.
"It's fine."
With a look of understanding, Alice smiled softly.
Seeing Alice's smile she felt a small throb in her heart.
'So cute~'
"Hi, I'm Emily McCartney. Nice to meet you."
Alice shook her hand and replied politely.
"I'm Alice and this is my boyfriend Shin."
Shin gave a small nod and didn't say much. But the next moment he felt a little annoyed because he was ignored.
"I have to go now. Next time we meet, I'll treat you to a meal. Bye Alice." Then without waiting for a reply. Emily scurried away.
Alice waved off at her not minding her weird actions.
Shin's expression was neutral.
'What a poor actor?!'
'Why did she go through all that trouble to get her name?' Shin shook his head. 'It's not that difficult to find out.'
'Well anyway, this proves that she had seen Alice transform. So she is interested in Alice.'
'I wanted to avoid getting in trouble with vampires and now she came to us on her own.'
"Alice put a soul mark on her." He said lightly as he thought. 'It's better to be cautious.'
Alice felt alarms ringing inside her. Danger.
She immediately turned to Shin and asked sharply.
"WHY?!"
Thinking that her voice was too loud she took a deep breath.
"Why... are you interested in her?" Alice asked in a low voice. It was difficult to figure out what mood she was in.
Shin understood he had caused some misunderstanding and clarified immediately.
"She is not normal," Shin said and turned to look around him. Then he slowly closed the distance between them and whispered in her ear.
"Don't think too much. She is a Vampire. I don't know if she will bring us trouble. That's why."
Alice's face was completely red. Not because of anger but shyness.
With Shin's every word. His breath brushed past her ear. She felt a tingling sensation all over her body.
She immediately put some distance between them and said.
"It's okay, I understand now."
She took deep breaths to calm herself down.
'That was dangerous.'
'Too close!!'
'Fortunately, I managed to handle it well.'
"*Sigh* She already left. We were late." Shin mumbled looking in the direction Emily went.
*Ahem*
Alice cleared her throat and acted confidently to hide her blush. She smiled sweetly and said.
"I see that's the reason."
She acted very normally but her red face gave her away.
Shin who saw her reaction closed his mouth to suppress the laughter. But failed.
Alice knew she failed miserably in her attempt to hide it, so she just pouted.
*Hmph*
"Hahaha."
"Ah man, Alice. I never knew your ears were so sensitive."
Alice didn't reply just turned her face away from him. 'I'm so ashamed.'
They took their luggage and went outside the airport. By that time both of them had returned to normal.
"By the way."
Alice said suddenly.
"Hm?" Shin glanced at her.
"I did leave a soul mark on her."
Shin stopped walking. Alice turned back to look at him.
"Wait... when?" He asked. His expression was full of confusion. Because by the time he explained to Alice, Emily had already left. So, when did Alice put the mark on her?
"When I introduced myself," Alice replied.
Shin's eyes widened as he asked.
"Why would you do that?"
"I thought her actions were weird. So just in case." Alice's eyes move sideways while speaking.
She was lying.
'Sorry, Shin. I can't tell you that I put a mark on her because I thought she approached us because of you. I would have finished her secretly in case she became a threat to my love life. Fortunately, she didn't continue to talk much. Which means I was mistaken.'
Shin nodded his head in agreement, her claim was very convincing. 'But why do I feel like that's not the only reason?'
Seeing Shin still pondering about it. Alice hurriedly pulled his hand and said.
"Ahh, whatever may be the reason. It worked out for good right? Just forget about it now. We are finally in Polaris city. Let's go have fun." Alice seem pretty excited.
Shin smiled looking at that beautiful smile. And the next moment he poured cold water with his words shaking Alice's excitement to the core.
"We are not here to have fun. We are going to a dungeon."
