Sunday mornings always got Ji-Yeon in the best of moods. After a warm shower, she was spoiled with breakfast, because on Sundays, both parents were always home, reporting for their duties at Church. Toasty waffles sprinkled with sugar an array of blueberries and strawberries, a piping hot cup of some white tea, and of course, Hwajeon were set in front of her. "So, anything planned for today, Ji-Yeon?" her father inquired, munching at the bacon on his own plate. Beaming for the fact that he had asked, she nodded fervently, "Yes, Daddy. Going to the library to do some research!" Ji-Yeon chimed. While her father replied with a small chuckle and a nod, her mother answered with another question, in a some-what worried tone, "For a school project, honey? I thought you didn't get no homework over the vacation?" Slightly giggling, she continued, "No, Ma, I've just gotten interested in some mythology, and I want to do some research on it." Her mother replied in a completely pleased voice, "Wow, Ji-Yeon, I'm impressed. Good girl. Ain't that right, hubby?" it was combined with a playful wink. Her father looked up, grinning, "Right."
Ji-Yeon had felt bad for committing a lie, but, at the same time, she couldn't let them find out what she was really doing. The truth being, she was going to do some research on herself. Since the day she had become a senshi, she wondered what the hell 'Sirona' was. After a second of Googling, her interest had been piqued. She definitely had to check it out in the local library. With a hop in her step, Ji-Yeon excitedly walked there; perhaps she'd meet a friend or two. Grinning from ear to ear as her destination came into sight, she sprinted towards the entrance as automatic glass doors welcomed her.
A rather mean looking woman sat at the counter, frowning down at some papers. "Excuse me?" Ji-Yeon softly inquired in a meek tone. "What?!" the woman snapped, but quickly rushed to hide her error, "Ah. I mean. Sorry. What would you like?" The woman attempted at a smile, but failed, miserably. "Where might the mythology books be?" Ji-Yeon spoke louder this time. "In the back, back, back, of the library," the woman replied, scowling, pointing a finger at the far right corner of the library. She hadn't noticed til that moment, but the library was huge. It had several floors, two or three, and hundreds of thousands of books. It could've been a museum, and Ji-Yeon was wandering towards the farthest, shadiest part. "Thank you!" she chimed. Nothing would bring her down today.
