Gander gasps as he enters his room. He almost stumbled and fell face first in the bed. His whole face is heating up. His body is getting hotter. He throws the mask away and takes off a layer of his clothes.

His face is red and his gaze is a bit hazy.

"Why?" His heart is trembling and thumping. He hugs his body to calm his heart beating. He can even hear his heart thumping in his ears.

"What is that? So close….." he shakes his head. He clenched his fist. He felt her body touching his as her lips kissed his forehead. He raised his two hands wanting to melt her in his arms but he saw his disciples staring at him with disbelief. He became fearful. Scared that Shekki will get startled and push him away. What if she did?

'She will despise me!'

That made his two hands in the air slump back down.

But why? Why is he feeling this? Shekki has nowhere else to go. She can't escape him… They made a deal. But why is he so scared when he imagines it? That Shekki is looking at him with disdain?

***

Gasps*

Melvin slowly sits down on his bed as he recalls what happened. That glowing red flushed in Master's face. Those hands that wanted to hug Shekki. Why did he glare at them? He loves the Master. He can even give his life away for him. He is confident that whatever the Master asks him, he will do it without fail, but on that very moment, he wants to snap his hands away from Shekki.

Melvin starts cultivating to clear his mind. Ignoring the loud thumping of his heart. He doesn't want to acknowledge, that desire slowly surfacing inside of him.

Orbit stands in front of the door for a while. He bumps his forehead on the door.

'That's mine.'

The moment the Master raised his two arms. His head shouted it inside.

'THAT'S MINE!'

He was startled in his own mind. Why did he think of that? It's not like he cares that much about Shekki. Shekki is just a toy. A useful tool. Someone who he can talk to and who can make delicious food.

Wait? What's the taste of the food again?

Angrily he punched his own chest.

"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stop thumping so loudly!" He breathed angrily.

He just went and he started cultivating. "It doesn't matter. I will be fine tomorrow." He closed his eyes.

Elias takes a deep breath and exhales.

He looks up and wonders what was that unpleasant feeling.

"She...kki…" Froze. "Why? Did I say her name?" Elias clicked his tongue.

"Why did she do that? Disrespecting Master!" He angrily frowns. But why is he not mad at her? Why is he mad at himself?

Elias clicked his tongue again.

He knows how that feels. He carried Shekki before. He knows how that soft woman body….how it felt good being held…….

????????

Elias bites his lower lip in anger. Blood drips his lips, to his chin, dripping to his clothes.

He needs to clear his head. Yes. Need to clear his head. He starts cultivating. Tomorrow, tomorrow he will try to understand himself, yes….Let it be a matter for tomorrow.

Lan rubs Shekki's hair as she fall asleep leaning on him. He sighs. He stays not because he doesn't feel bothered but because all the others already lost themselves in jealousy.

Jealousy that Shekki created. Yet she cried because of it.

He sighs and wraps his arms around her shoulder pulling her closer.

"Saying things like harem...Do you even have the resolve? Woman, you really are…..too full of yourself." He said kissing her hair. Lan smiles. "This 5 meal course be careful or you'll be the one who will get eaten by it."

Shekki snorts in her dream and hugs Lan. "My name is…….Shekki."

"Pffftt--" Lan hurriedly close his mouth. He flicks her forehead. "I know."
