-Jannu POV-
" Do you wanna get stronger?"- He asked out of nowhere.
"Huh? "- that was the only thing that I could make out with my voice. I was confused at the sudden question.
" What do you mean. "- I asked after getting my thoughts together.
" But! Before that, tell me what happened to you! Why did you disappear so suddenly?!? We were searching for you?! Did you get hurt any where?! "- I got up started checking his body to see if see gained any injures. I was more worried as I found traces of blood on his clothes.
" Who's blood is this?!? "
"Okay, okay. I will tell you what happened from the start. After I dropped you off...
I won after my fight... The blood is that guy's... I think
But got caught by the serial killer...
Then, I got myself out through the old man's help....
Oh, and he's my great grandpa apparently. "- He finished after 20 minutes of explaining the circumstances behind his disappearance.
" As the kid told you, I'm his grandpa. And you can call me that as well, if you want. "- He winked at me with an amused grin.
And even though I didn't know him I blushed at his implication.
" Shut up, old man. You're allow her to call you grandpa but your annoyed at me calling you old man! How is that fair! "- Ram shouted with playful fury on his handsome face. And then my face heated up.
'Yeah, handsome. He is handsome! '
" I allowed you to call me grandpa, but you seemed uncomfortable with it, so stop calling me old man! I'm only about three centuries old man. "- He wisphered the last part, but we both heard it.
" Yeah, exactly my point! "
" Anyway, what did you mean by 'do you wanna get stronger'. "- I asked him the question that's been bugging me for the last minute.
" That's what even I want to know. Old man can you, like, explain what you meant by that statement. "
"It's as I asked you, do you kids wish to get stronger! "- The centurirs old, grandpa asked with a serious expression on his wrinckled face.
" Yeah! "- Ram replied instantly, not surprising as he was able witness the power gap between himself and the serial killer. And right after he said that, the old man looked at me, for an answer.
" I'm not sure, will ram be with me? "
"That depends on you and your conviction. As ram is my desendent, he will definitely become strong, maybe even strongest-well not as strong as me but pretty close. He will go far in this world, if want to stay beside him you must be strong. Your potential depends on your desire. "- My new grandpa said with seriousness on ever inche of his face. I wore a conflicted expression, I want to be with ram but...
" But before you answer me, young lady. You must know, choices have consequences. The important thing to understand is that we are all free to the point of making choices. But, after we make choice, the choice controls the chooser. Think through, before you decide! "
'I want to be with ram! But can I stay away from my parents, away from friends, I probably can. The thing I'm worried about is the fact, that even ram, the strongest person I know, was helpless against that Arthur guy. What can I hope to accomplish! '
'Cho, tell me, what should I do? '
'This is your decision, jannu. I can't have say in this, but know that whatever happens, I will stay with you. '
'Ram couldn't handle it... So he wants to get stronger. But what if in the future he faces a problem beyond even this one! I have to be with him, unlike this time. Even if I can't save him, I will at the very least try my hardest! '
"Alright, I've decided I wish to get stronger! "- I showed ever ounce of my determination in my eyes. Ram showed proudful look.
" I like that fire in your eyes, young lady. Now that everything's settled. Let's go. "- Shinron' declared with a content laugh.
" Where to? "
"I will tell you, after we get there, know stay in contact with me, not with the phone! "
"But, what about the situation here? As in the fact that people will search for us, we will be away for a month after all. "- Ram asked the question that was on my mind.
" Don't worry I will take care of it"- the old man grinned with slight amusement.
