Chapter 1: Ch 1 : First Encounter
Port City, Hargeon
A young boy stood at the bustling heart of the street, his presence effortlessly drawing attention.
By conventional human standards, he was exceptionally handsome. His long, pale golden hair—neither glaring like the sun nor dull—cascaded naturally, untouched by excessive care. Yet, the most striking feature of his refined face was his eyes: a deep sky-blue, as profound as the heavens themselves.
Draped over his slender frame was a white windbreaker, giving him an air of quiet elegance. Passersby couldn't help but steal glances his way, and among them, more than a few love-struck young women had eyes practically ablaze with admiration.
Yet, the golden-haired boy remained indifferent, filtering out the stares as if they didn't exist. His mind was preoccupied.
(What a hassle... I lost the photo of that guy—Bora, the target of this mission. The one involved in human trafficking.)
Noel scratched his cheek in mild frustration. (If Mira finds out, she'll probably scold me again, sighing as usual.)
A graceful figure with white hair emerged in his thoughts, and before he realized it, a soft smile graced his lips. (Oh well, it's not a big deal—just means I'll have to spend more time. And time... that's the one thing I have plenty of now.)
Chuckling to himself, he glanced up at the sun. (Time flies. It's already noon. I should find something to eat.)
His gaze swept across the street before settling on a classically decorated restaurant.
"This one looks good." He muttered before striding toward it.
