"Three months," he whispered into the darkness. "Three months to show you I'm the man you thought I was."
He smiled to himself, a smile that held both determination and joy.
He would chase her for three months. Or three years. Or even three hundred years if he had to.
Because this time, he wasn't going to let her slip away.

This morning, after waking up, Gu Jin looked at her surroundings and decided to go on her next journey. After all, after winning the Alchemy Competition, she had been given a special one-week leave from the principal.
Since she had so much time, she thought it was the perfect chance to try for the thunder seed. Her thunder element had been stuck at the primary rank for a long time.
Once downstairs, she informed the Gu family of her decision. But unlike before, when they always allowed her to go wherever she wanted, this time they looked hesitant.
Mr. Gu looked at Gu Jin seriously.
