(Eve's POV)

"Wow Chung, your home is really pretty" I hear Aisha say as I walk away from them. As I sat down far from them, I look around at everyone being busy minding their own business.

I look at Chung still comforting Ara with Aisha and the new guy who calls himself Add, sitting beside them. I wonder why he wants my code? And what is wrong with him... Aisha seems to get along with him, I think. Then I look at Rena and Raven preparing something to eat for us. Of course it would be logical to rely on Rena for food. Raven seems to be more peaceful now than I first saw him. Maybe it's because of Rena. That's what they say, but I don't really get why...

I turn to look at Elsword. Yes, I know his name. How can't I when he was the only one who had the guts to befriend me. I just got used to calling him names. He's looking at Aisha... Of course. They're usually fighting at a time like this but Add is keeping Aisha busy. I guess he feels the same way as I do... They might argue almost all the time, but they are very close. I saw it when I used to follow him all the time. This is why I chose the Code: Seraph after all... I wanted to close off my emotions. Unfortunately, they are coming back. I just decided to stay away from him.

I was deep in my thoughts when Elesis suddenly taps me on my shoulder and sat down next to me. "Hey" she said with a bright smile. She really resembles her brother, Elsword. I just look at her with my usual face and she knew I won't speak unless needed so she continued.

"Is it alright if I sit with you?" I nodded "So, something bothering you?" I was about to say no but she cut off what I was about to say "You might have no reaction, but your eyes say it all" I just look down and I feel her pat me on the back "Is it my bro?" I kept my silence and she sighed "I don't know what's going on but the way you two look at each from a distance is just something" I finally look at her, I don't know what she meant.

"When all the battles are over, what do you plan to do?" she asked me as she kept that calm smile on her face

"I will rebuild my race as I originally planned" I plainly said

"Even if you have to leave your friends?"

Friends? Does she mean the ElGang? I guess I could consider them friends but I haven't thought about that.

"Even if you have to leave Elsword?" I just looked down when I heard his name

"It doesn't matter if I leave" I said with a calm voice

"Of course it does. He'll definitely look for you" she looks serious yet she's still smiling, it's different somehow.

"How can you be sure?"

"Just look at Raven and Rena" she says and we both look at them "Being together is enough for them. Raven can finally control himself now, he can actually just leave and pay back for his sins other way than helping you guys but he didn't, because he wants to be with Rena. They will be together whatever happens"

"I do not understand why"

"Because they love each other of course"

"Love...?" I faintly say. I still don't understand.

"How about you ask Elsword?" she says as she turns her look on her little brother. She grins as she stands up and went beside him.

I look at Rena and Raven again. Love... How do you know when it is called love? Is it the way Elsword and Aisha gets along? I think so...

"He'll definitely look for you" I want to give it more meaning, but I guess she only means it's because I am his friend.

I don't want to expect more. He was nice enough to offer to be my friend. I look at Elsword and Elesis this time. They seem to be talking seriously. Elesis looks really serious. Then she pats him on the back and they kept talking. I look down and continued on my thoughts.

Suddenly I feel someone sitting beside me. "What's up Eve?" I heard his voice and look at him with my usual poker face.

"So... I..." he starts talking again and his face seems to be turning a shade of red. Is this what they call blushing...?

"Can I ask something" I interrupted him. He doesn't seem to be comfortable talking anyway. He just nodded, still a shade of red on his face.

"What is this thing you humans call Love?" I ask looking straight at him. He suddenly looks away, like he's thinking. I guess he's thinking about her.

"Uh... It's" he started but he paused for a long moment

"I am sorry, I just want to know what Love feels for human. Looking at Raven and Rena makes me curious. Because they look..." I look at them again and think of the word I am supposed to say "...happy? Is that what it's called?" I look back at him and he kept staring at me. It makes me feel uneasy... "Oh..." that's the only thing he said.

I decided to continue... I think this is the only time that I am the talkative one. I resisted the urge to slap him so he would stop staring "I asked your sister about my curiosity. She just told me that they are inlove. Before I could ask further more, she said she'll talk to you and I should just ask you" He suddenly looks back at his sister and she just grinned at him.

I took a deep breath and reached for his hand. It startled him a bit as he looks at our hands and back at me

"I guess... It's when you're really happy when you're with someone" he starts to speak as he looks straight into my eyes

"You just want to protect that person no matter what" his first sentence struck me as I remember past events... Of course... I became stronger to be able to fight with him. To protect him when he needs me

"You don't like it when that person is sad. You're happy when they are" the times when I try to cheer him up before we found Elesis again...

"You're... Ready to give up everything..." when I chose to become a Battle Seraph, so they could be happy...

I feel his hand squeeze mine "And you have a hard time breathing when you're with that person..." he said as he looks at me seriously... I am having a hard time breathing right now... Is it because of what he told me? "Not because you're going to die but because she just takes your breath away..." No... I have felt like this before... Whenever he smiles at me and offer me his help... Of course...

"With everything she does... You just can't help but be amazed and... It just takes my breath away..." Of course... I know he's thinking about her while saying this... I take my hand away and I look down. I don't want him to see my face... I hold up my hand to my chest... I guess I do love him... I can't help but just smile sadly and I hear him sigh. A long silence...

"I... see..." the only things I was able to say and I stand up before I lose control in front of him "I will just talk to Aisha"

I left him sitting there and sat down beside Aisha, not minding Add beside her. "What's wrong Eve?"

I just look at her, not knowing what to say, she looks at Elsword and then back to me "Is it Eldork?" she asks with a worried look, I just nodded.

"So what did he do this time?" she asks again raising an eyebrow, I told her what happened. She sighed and looks at Elsword again, talking with his sister this time

"You do like Elsword right?" she smiles at me and I just nodded without thinking "Then tell him~" she places her hand on my chest and I am sure my face is red right now

"You do feel it right? Your heart, beating for him" I just stare at her and holds up my hand on my own chest again "You may be a nasod, but you are also part human" I look down and she continue talking "I think it would be better if you tell him. Whatever happens, at least you get to let him know right?" she looks at me with a reassuring smile, I just nodded and look at Elsword still talking to his sis

"Don't you like Elsword?" I finally managed to ask Aisha. She blinks a few times and laughs weakly "No. Well, I thought I did. But I just realized that it's kind of a brother way you know" she pats me on the back and winks at me "Goodluck Eve"

I took a deep breath and stands up, making my way to Elsword and Elesis. She noticed me in front of them and she smiles as she stands up saying a few more words with Elsword before leaving. I sit down beside him, my hand still on my chest while looking down. I don't think I can do this... I think I am overheating.

I opened my mouth to speak "I..." I don't think it was loud enough. I closed my eyes shut and reached for his hand with my left one and I take it on my chest. Realizing what I just did, I just stare down, not knowing what to do

"W-what are you doing?!" I hear him say but he didn't bother to take away his hand

"Elsword..." I finally get to speak out still nervous. I look at him straight in the eyes and I just know I my face is really red right now.

"I... Can't breathe..." I say in a low voice... I don't know if he was able to hear it. I just don't know what to say next. He seems to be thinking and then he smiled.

A different smile than any that I have seen before... He starts to lean in and I just continue to stare.

I feel his lips on mine and...

"OW!"

I slapped him

"I..." I just look down not knowing what to say. I know it's wrong for me to slap him.

"You have that strong slap as usual" He laughs and takes my right hand to his lips, kissing the back of it. I look at him as he keeps on smiling and staring into my eyes

"I love you Eve..."

I smile...

"Hey Eve is smiling!" I hear Ara's voice

"We should have made some popcorn instead" Rena's voice joined in

"Why didn't you tell us there's a movie scene going on" Raven followed

"Good job Eve~" Aisha cheered

"My little bro finally grown up" Elesis says with a teasing voice

"Whatever" typical for Add

"A beautiful scene indeed" Chung finally speaks and we hear them clap

I buried my face on Elsword's chest hiding my red face as I hear him yell "YOU GUYS!"
