(Y/n)'s POV

~Dream~

"You are going to destroy them. That is what you were made for. You have no choice but to accept your fate, (Y/n)," exclaimed a strange man.
"Who are you?"
"I am someone you will forget and never remember until your mission is fulfilled."

Two people grabbed onto my arms and took me to my room. It was quite big, with large windows and a staircase that led up to a second floor. Everything was coloured in either white or gold.

Where was this place? How come it felt so familiar? Have I been here before?

The view was of a large, vibrant city that seemed to float in the sky. Everyone flew with white feathery wings and yet, I couldn't. Why was that?

"(Y/n), let's go play. He said we could," said a young boy around my age.

He had golden hair and shining blue eyes. His attire simply consisted of a white shirt and black pants. Who was this? Did I know him?

"(Y/n), let's go."

He grabbed onto my hand, dragging me outside where everything was. This place looked amazing! It was like a city of angels. The palace looked huge, with unique statues and patterns covering the castle halls.

"Excuse me, who are you?"
"Come on, let's go. There's a festival."

He didn't answer me. Was he ignoring me? Or could he not hear me? Why was I the only one that looked...human? Everyone else seemed as if they were glowing, like stars twinkling in the sky.

"Oooh, look! They have our favourite!" exclaimed the boy.
"Romeo, you're back again. I see you're with (Y/n)," said an older man.

He had pitch black hair with forest green eyes. Why did he seem so lively and young? I felt like I was the odd one out.

"(Y/n), try it!" Romeo exclaimed happily.

I took a bite out of the mysterious food and immediately got lifted into the air.

"Ah!"
"Now let's go!"

He took my hand and led me around, as if this was our daily routine. I didn't know him but it seemed like he knew me. I felt guilty...that he was doing all this for me and yet, I didn't even remember him.

~Some time later~

We were now sitting on a cloud, watching the sun set. It had been a fun day.

"(Y/n), I wanted you to have a fun time before you went down to the human world," said Romeo.
"...what do you mean?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't actually hear anything you're saying. It has been like this for as long as I can remember."
"W-what?..."
"You probably already got all your memories erased so you don't know who I am. I'm sorry for confusing you, but I really wanted to spend this time with you."

Spend time with me?

"You probably already heard from Mr Joon, the man who gave you the 'Swan's Egg', but my name's Romeo."
"...the Swan's Egg?..."
"The Swan's Egg was that bread you ate earlier. You were born without wings so I asked Mr Joon to give you some. You were made as a human because you had to complete your mission."
"...my mission?"

Was he talking about the death of the royal family members?

"It was surprising at first, but I got used to it. I really wanted to hear your voice. We are siblings after all."

S-siblings?! I had a brother this whole time?!

"(Y/n), I think it's time for you to go."

He smiled at me before I was taken away. Tears were sliding down his cheeks as he mouthed the words, 'I love you'. For some reason, this caused my heart to ache.
But I didn't have long to do anything before I was thrown down to Earth.

~Dream end~

I woke up, feeling something cold on my face. I realised that tears were sliding down my cheeks.
I had a brother and I never even knew about it...

"(Y/n), are you okay? Why are you crying?" Ji Dwi asked worriedly.

I quickly wiped my tears away and forced a smile.

"What are you talking about? I wasn't crying."

He sat down next to me and pulled me into a hug. This caused tears to swell up in my eyes again. I didn't want to cry...

"Just cry, you'll feel better."
"J-Ji Dwi...I had a-a brother...and I didn't e-even remember h-him..."
"Don't worry, I'm sure he's already forgiven you. You probably had no choice, right?"

~The next morning~

We had already left the palace, and had headed back to Hwarang House. Once we went inside, everyone immediately rushed up to us.

"Ji Dwi, is really true that you're the king?!"
"(Y/n), did you actually have to kill the royal family?!"

More questions similar to those were thrown at us and they kept on coming.

"Everyone, give them so space. Geez, you guys really are idiots," exclaimed Soo Ho.
"Hey, that's mean. I wanted to talk to noona," Hansung replied with a pout.

I smiled and pat his head. This caused him to smile. But before I could do anything else, I was immediately pulled into an extremely tight hug.

"(Y/n), how could you do that?! How could you almost die without me knowing?!" Ah Ro asked sternly.
"Calm down, I'm alive right now, aren't I?"
"Oh, Ji Dwi, I heard that your mother's giving up the throne. Are you going to become king now? Is (Y/n) going to be your queen?" Ah Ro asked excitedly.
"I-"
"Sook Myung's been grumpy all day! I guess she's unhappy about that but-"
"Ah Ro, how much sugar did you have? Calm down."
"Hehe, sorry."

Now everything was going to be back to normal...
