The Ice Heart's

Episode 8 - Blue Light

Morning greeted by the drizzling sky soaking the earth. Sea developed his umbrella after setting foot at a stop near his school. This time he left for school alone, not wanting to be robbed of Seo again. Or maybe it's because he's starting to be prejudiced against someone, I don't know.

Tuling! The sound of the notifications on the smartphone.

Sea opened his smartphone and read the comments on his mostly school band posts, walking in a drizzle with his red umbrella.

All of them were comments similar to the ones Sea used to receive every day. Of course, some commented well, some commented julid. Everything was normal for Sea. Even her who had a pretty face, was equated to a wasted Clan, the Water Clan.

“Hey,” the heavy voice of a man who made Sea's move came to a halt in shock.

Sea turned to the source of the voice.

It was the voice of a man with white hair like a cloud of cirrus with mint-colored eyes, under an umbrella that matched the color of his eyes.

He was, wasn't he, who was floating on the sidewalk back then? What's-her-name? Rei's? Senior Rei huh? – Inner Sea.

“Eh, y-ya?” tanya Sea stuttered.

“I want to apologize,” said Rei with a flat face.

“Eh, why?” ask Sea again.

“On your hand yesterday, I did it,”

The atmosphere was short-lived.

“Why did you do it?” ask Sea.

“Because you want to test whether you are the one I am looking for or not,” Rei replied with his face still flat, as if there was no intention at all to apologize, surely it made Sea feel upset.

“Who are you looking for to do something like that?! If Jun wasn't there and the glass hit my head how?!” sea asked half an emotion from looking at Rei's flat face.

“Just because Jun saved you, it proves that my hypothesis is not entirely wrong, even though you still bleed when the broken glass sticks in your hand,” Rei replied in an unchanging tone.

Huh huh? What the hell is this guy?! – Inner Sea.

“‘Although I still bleed?!’ So you want to test me bleed or not?! You must be a part of them too! Making fun of me that I am the Water Clan?! A Water Clan that cannot bleed?!” snapped Sea.

“The person I'm looking for is a Water Clan person, so I hope you understand what happened yesterday,” Rei replied.

“Understanding your head! You are apologizing no, right?! What grudge do you have with me to kill me?!” snapped Sea again.

“King Ying Dyera, my father,” said Rei stalled. His face was starting to fall flat again.

Ying Dyera's? Otherwise wrong it was the previous Fire Clan king who served before King Ying Korya. He said he was killed by the Water Clan who came from his own family? So Senior Rei is a Ying? – Inner Sea.

“You must know because the news of his death is very controversial. The one who killed him was my own cousin, so I looked for him,” said Rei, this time with a face that showed little emotion.

“You think I'm your cousin?! I am not from a royal family like you! I'm Jason Sea! I am the Human Clan!” sea said not to accept.

Sea was annoyed that this time he was not only equated with the Water Clan, but also equated with an assassin.

“But I saw it,” said Rei, making Sea jerk.

Seeing? What does it mean? – Inner Sea.

“In that body, there is a blue light though very small and dim, a blue light that can only be found,”

“in the body of a Water Clan,” said Rei who deliberately disconnected his speech.

DEG!

“I'm sorry I had to make you feel this way, Clara.”

The voice that often appeared in Sea's dreams began to cross in Sea's memories. A voice he did not recognize at all.

The deg! The deg! The deg!

For some reason Sea's hands and feet trembled, his heart throbbing violently.

“Mon Clara,” call Rei.

DEG!

“That's you, right?” continue Rei.

Meanwhile in class…

Jun read the book seriously while waiting for the bell to come in. Jun must pursue the material so as not to be left with other friends.

“Good morning, Claire! Uh, Sea hasn't come yet?” violet asked, Jun's classmate who had just arrived to class.

“I'm also surprised, did something happen huh?” claire replied with an anxious face, recalling the incident of the flying glass yesterday.

“Sea isn't it unusual to come this late? Not like me, is it because of the rain? The danger is that it is too late,” continued Violet said.

Claire looked at the window.

The drizzle does slowly turn into larger grains. The rain is getting heavier.

Jun watched Claire and Violet chatter, then looked at the window. The sky is getting dark.

GREKS! Sound of the classroom slide door opened.

Claire, Violet, Jun, and some of the children in the class immediately looked towards the entrance. Their eyes immediately widened to see who was coming.

“Sea!” claire ran straight to the Sea.

“Sea! Why are you soaking wet like this?! You forgot to bring an umbrella?!” claire asked frantically but was only answered silently by Sea.

“Let's try to find a change of clothes! You can get sick when soaked like this!” invite Claire to pull up Sea's arm, but Sea is silent.

“Sea! Let's go in!” take Claire.

“I'm fine, Claire. The wet is just my alma mater, my hair can dry itself really,” said Sea took off Claire's grip on her arm and then walked to sit on her stool.

Claire walked towards the bench that Sea was sitting on.

“You're okay soaking wet?!” claire asked again for concern at seeing the wet hair, alma mater, and the Sea upper bag.

“I'm fine, Claire.” Reply to Sea while removing his alma mater and hanging it to a chair.

“You forgot to bring an umbrella?” ask Claire worriedly.

“Ah em, my umbrella fell haha,” Sea reply.

“What?”

Rriyigg....

Not done yet Claire asked, the sound of the bell in was heard, making Claire have to return to her stool.

The class teacher enters the class then is continued by habits that are often done, such as standing for greetings and praying, then immediately start the lesson.

Jun looked towards Sea, who was acting normal despite his arrival making Jun slightly surprised.

Sea who felt that someone was watching him suddenly turned his head to look at Jun, making Jun instantly turn his eyes towards the blackboard that was starting to scribble.

“Just because Jun saved you, it proves that my hypothesis is not entirely wrong..”.

Rei's words flashed in Sea's mind. Making Sea remember again the time he met Jun at the bus stop that made him afraid to go to school alone until he invited Seo to go with him.

Why would he help me? Why is he also wondering about me? – Inner Sea.

Sea then focused on looking at the blackboard.

Jun glanced back towards Sea. That faint, dim blue light, Jun could also see it.
