Chapter Index

    “Um- This isn’t it… .”

    I muttered, sipping my failed cocktail.

    Because it is a vodka-based cocktail, you get a little tipsy.

    Is it because I’ve become more sensitive?

    I sniffled and looked at my wristwatch.

    “1am….”

    I wonder if the Ansan issue has been resolved well.

    I’m concerned because it seems to be taking longer than expected.

    “It’ll be okay, sisters…”

    I lightly slapped both cheeks to pull myself together.

    What kind of sister are you?

    I think that word just stuck in my mouth without me knowing.

    Somehow I erased that word from my mind.

    And then he starts making the cocktail he was researching again.

    Squeeze lemon juice onto the rim of a chilled martini glass.

    Then turn it upside down and stamp it into a circle on a plate filled with sugar.

    Next, prepare a shaker filled with ice.

    1 ounce of strong Absolut Vodka (30ml)

    And half an ounce of plum-flavored sloe gin. (15ml)

    Dry vermouth half ounce (15 ml)

    Finally, lightly squeeze the lemon juice and shake.

    After that, pour it into a sugar-covered glass…

    Rating: ????? (not measurable)

    Effect: Only certain characters can see the effect.

    Information: A cocktail made by Siho while thinking of someone.

    No effect can be known until the subject drinks it directly.

    A passionate red like a flame.

    And sugar piled up like white snow on the border.

    I thought of many people while making this drink.

    “It’s complete… .”

    Grab a beautiful red cocktail.

    And I spun it around to check the color.

    Before I knew it, red and white had become my favorite colors.

    “It’s dawn now, so I should make it tonight.”

    When I think of the three people, the corners of my mouth go up.

    Since I already made it, I decided to have one last drink and then go to sleep.

    And the moment I was about to put the cocktail I had made to my lips… .

    “—.”

    The front door bell rang.

    “Who is it at this hour?”

    If it were the enemy, they would have easily opened the door lock and come in.

    The vice president would have been the same.

    Then maybe it’s black death?

    I put the Kiss of Fire down on the table for a moment.

    If you don’t mind the black sand, I’ll have to tell you to try it.

    With that thought in mind, I calmly opened the front door.

    Then, at that moment.

    I felt a little creepy for a moment.

    Because the silhouette seen through the crack in the door wasn’t a black person.

    But soon I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

    When the door opened completely, the person who appeared was none other than Yeji.

    “Yeji, I’m surprised. You’re not asleep yet?”

    Yejin was smiling brightly at me.

    Thanks to her hair being down, her appearance was more feminine than usual.

    “Yes, maybe because of what happened today, I can’t sleep… .”

    An anxious voice.

    I guess he was very shocked by what he experienced today, as he was just an ordinary person.

    “Would you like to come in for a moment?”

    “Yes, thank you.”

    Yejin slowly entered the penthouse.

    I sat her down at the table and checked the fridge to see if there was anything to drink.

    “Did you try the drink that I gave you earlier through Heuksa-nim?”

    “Yes, it was sweet and delicious.”

    Yejin stares at the Kiss of Fire on the table.

    She tapped the red wine with her fingers as if she was curious about it.

    “Actually, I came here because I wanted to get one more drink.”

    “Really? Wait a minute. Can I give you a Midori shower?”

    “Hmm- That’s good too, but what is this?”

    I turned my head and looked at the cocktail she was handling.

    And he smiled and answered kindly.

    “Oh, that’s ‘Kiss of Fire’. It’s high in ABV, so don’t drink it as a bedtime drink.”

    “I see-.”

    Yejin didn’t try hard to drink the glass.

    Thanks to you, I’m ready to make Midori Shower.

    I washed a glass and wiped it with a dry cloth until it made a squeaking sound.

    But, my hands, which had been moving busily, soon stopped.

    “How do you make alcohol so delicious?”

    I smiled happily at that question.

    It seems like Ms. Yeji doesn’t hold back on her praise.

    “Is that so? I used to do better, but now my form has really died down.”

    I scratched the side of my head and answered shyly.

    Then Yeji starts asking me questions more persistently.

    “What happened?”

    How did it happen… .

    It’s probably because of Park Shin-ae.

    Because she stole most of my abilities.

    Of course, even fragmented abilities can be re-grown if you work hard and put in the effort.

    You can tell just by looking at the cocktails that they’ve been upgraded.

    but.

    If I hadn’t had my powers taken away… .

    I don’t know how far my cocktails have grown.

    “I lost some of my abilities.”

    “Siho, you’re also a power user? I didn’t know because you always used potions… .”

    “Yes, actually, I made all those potions.”

    I put the cleaned glass down on the table.

    And at that moment.

    I met Yeji’s eyes, which were strangely wide open.

    “Creating potions-. What kind of ability is that?”

    What ability…?

    How should I describe my abilities?

    I don’t know.

    When I wanted to help someone, the heal was activated.

    When I wanted to know someone’s story, I could read their memories.

    When you want to make a delicious cocktail, the flavors are buffed.

    When I put all my desires into a cocktail, a new cocktail potion was created that was just like that desire.

    If you want to use fire powers, Faust.

    If you want to use ice powers, go to Alaska, Blue Lagoon, etc…

    When I think about it, my abilities have mostly fulfilled all of my wishes.

    “Shall I try to guess?”

    Yeji asked in a calm voice.

    But, I felt something strange in her voice.

    Because the tone is a little different than usual.

    A more feminine and lower voice.

    I started to feel more and more like someone other than Yeji.

    “Maybe it’s the hand of an angel?”

    “The hand of an angel… ?”

    It’s a somewhat creepy name.

    I looked at her with a smirk.

    But, that smile soon completely disappeared.

    Because Yeji’s next words sent a chill down my spine.

    “There’s a soft glow to the cocktails Siho makes. It’s like they were made by an angel.”

    A soft light…?

    “Rain, light…? You see light in the liquor I made?”

    “Yes, it looks really good, right? Or this kiss right here.”

    “That’s clearly something only I can see, but how can I… .”

    Looking at me in confusion, Yejin rested her chin on the back of her hand placed on the table.

    And then he opened his eyes slightly and looked at me strangely.

    “Why? Because I have that fragmented ability of yours too.”

    “What did you say…?”

    Yeji’s voice has completely changed.

    She tells him in a voice he has never heard before that she has an angelic hand on her body.

    “Oh, you don’t believe me?”

    Yejin smiled brightly.

    And he raised his hand and let out a soft light as if he was giving it to someone.

    A familiar glow.

    right.

    That’s Angelic Hand.

    But, how did Yeji do that…?

    “You still don’t seem to believe it. Then should I show you?”

    At that moment of confusion.

    Yejin slapped her palm on the chair she was sitting on.

    Soon, a soft light begins to surround the entire chair.

    “Hmm-, something funny happened on this chair.”

    Anything fun?

    I thought for a moment about what was so special about that chair.

    I don’t remember anything in particular that comes to mind as a chair.

    I just waited for Yeji’s answer, my heart pounding.

    Then at that moment.

    She answered me with a grin.

    “Ms. Siho, your mouth is your weak point, huh? You must be a very lewd person who likes to be covered.”

    “Yes… ?”

    At that moment, I thought my heart stopped.

    Because Yejin realized what happened to me and the enemy.

    “Isn’t that amazing? Upgrading your Angelic Hand will allow you to read the memories of objects.”

    “Where on earth did you get my powers? Tell me quickly.”

    Feeling anxious, I looked at my cell phone in the corner of the kitchen.

    First, let’s distract her by asking her as many questions as possible.

    And then you secretly grab your cell phone and dial the emergency number.

    “Where did you get it? Shin-ae gave it to me.”

    She called Park Shin-ae by her name as if she were a friend.

    At the same time, he took out a dagger covered in blood from his pocket and raised it.

    And then he lightly threw it towards my hand as I tried to grab the phone.

    “—!”

    The dagger falls exactly between my index and middle fingers.

    I stared down at the blade embedded in the marble.

    “Don’t even think about doing anything stupid. I can kill you right now and absorb your powers.”

    Yejin slowly got up from her chair.

    And she came towards me gently, showing off her flexible hips.

    Soon her long fingers touch my face.

    Yejin looked at my face, holding my chin as if evaluating me.

    “Yes, Yeji-ssi… . It was fine until we escaped together, right? Don’t do this… .”

    Yejin snorted in disbelief at my halting words.

    And then whispers softly.

    “You were so cute back then.”

    She grabbed both of my hands with just one hand.

    A completely different evil force than when I first saw it.

    Soon, she circled her fingers around the two hands she was holding onto, and something like a white ring formed, squeezing both of my arms.

    “How is it? Isn’t it amazing? I thought about tying your arms and it happened.”

    Yejin said, showing me the angel rings that bound my two hands as if they were nothing.

    But I couldn’t hear her words anymore.

    My heart started pounding like crazy as I recalled those moments when I was locked up in the lab.

    Yejin shook her head as if she felt pity for me when she saw me like that.

    “You must be so scared.”

    Yejin grabbed my chin again.

    And he brought his face close to mine and whispered.

    “You know what? You look much better with a scared expression than a flustered one.”

    Her red lips are gradually coming closer to me.

    Soon Yejin lightly kisses my forehead.

    At that moment.

    My head starts to feel hazy, like when I was hit with Hypnos.

    My legs, which had been tense, relaxed and I half-kneeled.

    “Okay, then let’s go.”

    Yejin dragged me, who was out of my mind, to the living room.

    Then suddenly, the Kiss of Fire on the table entered her eyes.

    Yejin took the alcohol and took a quick taste.

    But maybe it was because the degree was high.

    She took a sip of her drink and threw it on the floor in annoyance.

    Red wine spills on the floor.

    “I really hate cocktails. It’s not even shampoo, and it tastes weird.”

    I just stared at the drink with my eyes wide open.

    I have to escape somehow… .

    Why am I always so weak?

    Anna, Jeoksa, and Sister Jisoo… .

    please….

    Help me… .

    That was the first time I realized that I could shed tears even when I was dizzy.

    And finally, that moment when tears flowed down my cheeks.

    The refreshing sound of the door lock opening echoed throughout the penthouse.

    Soon, the sound of someone staggering in can be heard.

    I know the sound of those footsteps.

    A woman who drinks alcohol every night and every morning and comes to her enemy’s house instead of her own.

    “Hiccup… What does that mean?”

    The vice president enters the living room with his face flushed red.

    And soon she… .

    I met eyes with Yeji, who was holding me with one hand.

    “What are you holding our girl?”

    She was lost in thought for a moment, then her green eyes flashed as if something had occurred to her.

    “Ah, is this the bossam?”
