Back then, having to do the usual daily routine was normal for both of them. Wooyoung would often be the one that is first to get up considering that he is a vampire and rarely sleeps—however, having San cuddle up to him makes him take a couple of hours sleep—then he'll clean himself up, and make breakfast before waking San up to go do his morning routine. After everything is settled, they'll go to school and hang out with each other.

It was something that they had grown to, however, Yeosang came and made himself known in their life. After seeing him at the café then realizing that he's their soulmate, their routine has been broken. They would pass by the café every morning, have their eyes on Yeosang during school then visit the café after classes.

Before they knew it, Yeosang had become a permanent reminder in their daily life. If back then, it was only the two of them. Now that they had Yeosang, two became three and they were happy with that. It felt as if they finally received the gift that they love the most.

As they stood in front of the café today, their hands held tight with another whilst staring ahead at the café. It felt like they were going to cry once again, seeing the café closed down and Yeosang nowhere to be seen.

Ever since that day, the café has never been opened again. After months that have passed, they never saw Yeosang nor any of his friends again. Their life grew more silent just like before they met Yeosang. They never heard from Seonghwa, Hongjoong, and Yunho again. Jongho and Mingi kept in touch with them, giving them updates upon the recovery Mingi is going through. Sometimes, they would mention Yunho but other than that, they don't talk about what had happened.

"I miss him." Wooyoung broke the silence between, the tears flowing freely out of his eyes while his eyes longingly gazing at the café. San turned to him, blinking his tears away as he squeezed his hand in comfort.

"It hurts." He mumbled, raising his other hand to point at his heart. "I'm a vampire. I don't have a heart. But... Fuck, it hurts." He pulled his hand away from San to rub his eyes with the back of his hands while sniffling.

"Woo..." San doesn't have any words to say, knowing that saying that 'It's okay' won't make anything fine for the both of them. He couldn't promise that everything will be fine in the future as well. Losing Yeosang broke everything that they have planned. Their future all had Yeosang in it and now that he is gone...

"I'm sorry that I can't do anything to stop the pain." He pulled Wooyoung into a hug, his hand behind Wooyoung's head as he gently let him bury his head on his shoulder. Slowly, his cries increase as he raises both of his hands to clench the shirt that San is wearing while the other pat his head with his tears falling silently.

They long to have the same warmth filling them as they enter the café, they want to have their Yeosang greeting them and taking their orders when they finally take a seat, they need to see Yeosang once again while he is walking around the café.

As they let their eyes fall upon the café, their hearts clenched with pain. They could only reminisce the memories that they had with Yeosang. With him gone, their life had lost all its colors.

"Hwa?" Hongjoong softly called out, knocking on the door but receiving no answers from the other side. "I'm coming in, okay?" He waited for a few more seconds to get a reply yet silence greeted him. He turned the knob and pushed open the door, seeing Seonghwa peeking out underneath a bundled up layers of blankets. He would have smiled at the cuteness, however, he refrained upon seeing red puffy eyes with dark eye bags under them staring back at him.

"You can't keep yourself here forever." He looked around the room, gulping down as his breath got stuck in his throat. They decided to stay inside of Yeosang's home, with Seonghwa staying inside of Yeosang's room. They have difficulties coping with the fact that Yeosang no longer resides with them.

Hongjoong knew how important Yeosang is to Seonghwa. He knew that they had gone through a lot of rough things before Seonghwa lost the rights of being a guardian angel because of being in a relationship with a vampire. Yeosang was there in every rough patch that Seonghwa had passed, every obstacle, and often Hongjoong found himself being jealous of their connection.

"I can and I will!" He hid back into the blankets. Seonghwa was still expecting Yeosang to appear in front of them with a goofy smile and say that it's all a prank. Every week that has passed made him slowly lose hope. It left him to wallow at his pity and soon, he felt himself spiraling into despair.

Yeosang was like a little brother that Seonghwa never had, the one that he cherishes the most and would always keep an eye out. He may seem as if he is always taking Yeosang from everyone but that's because he is worried that he might do something that might end up in the same state as him. He doesn't want him to be stripped of something so valuable, however, he also doesn't want him to stop him from being happy together with his mates. He knew sooner or later, Yeosang will become an angel instead of a guardian angel.

"Hwa..." Hongjoong could only deflate, he couldn't help but partially blame himself for having to put Yeosang at that risk. After all, it was his plan that put Yeosang in that kind of danger. He didn't weigh the consequences and instead turned a blind eye to that. "Can you at least eat? Please?" He could hear sniffles echoing the silent room, and he knows that Seonghwa is once again crying. Hongjoong walked over and forcefully grabbed the blankets away to reveal the crying Seonghwa.

Seonghwa's eyes widen in shock then turned to anger. He looked over to Hongjoong with a glare and opened his mouth to yell. That is, until, Hongjoong let himself fall on top of Seonghwa.

With a loud 'oof' from Seonghwa at being crushed, he instinctively wrapped an arm around Hongjoong's waist and lied down on his back at the bed with Hongjoong's head buried on his chest.

"I know it hurts." Hongjoong mumbled, "But, you can't hide the pain from me." Seonghwa flickered his eyes down on Hongjoong, seeing the other looking at him with a pained look.

"I'll be here for you, even until the end. We will find Yeosang." His own eyes welled up in tears as he pulls Hongjoong forwards and let their lips meet each other. They could slightly taste the salty tears that are falling from their eyes with the warmth embracing them like a hug.

Seonghwa is the first one to pull away. "Thank you, Joong." Hongjoong smiled at him, turning his head to lie down on Seonghwa's chest and hearing the steady beat of his heart.

"I love you." His whisper filled the room, and he could feel Seonghwa shuffling to get themselves in a much more comfortable position.

"I love you too. Hongjoong said, closing his eyes as an arm wraps itself on his waist and pulled him closer so that his back meets his chest. 

"That must be it." Mingi randomly pointed at some book, retracting his hand after having two pairs of eyes give their attention to him. "Wait, no. Wrong book." Jongho took a deep breath, closing the book and raising it to presumably hit Mingi on the head but stopped himself when he reminded himself that Mingi is still recovering.

"I swear to God. If only you aren't recovering, I'll break you." Mingi flinched at the use of a name then sent a goofy smile towards Jongho. "Don't look at me like that."

"Like what?" Mingi innocently batted his eyelashes, letting his lips form in a pout in a way that Jongho could not resist his puppy dog eyes. Jongho sighed, dropping the book on the table then let his head fall on the table, creating a loud thump.

"Don't hurt yourself." Yunho scolded, walking over to raise Jongho's head and inspect where he hit himself. "Hurting yourself won't do anything well."

"Well, I blame Mingi!"

"Oh, have we dropped from honorifics now?" He mocked, smirking at the irritation that filled Jongho. Although, he knows that no matter how many times he riles Jongho up, there is no way that he can stay angry at him. Yunho shook his head and walked back to the book he was reading from.

"Here I thought that your first pick up line to me was something I could look forward to but then you lied." Jongho groaned, picking up the book and continuing where he was reading.

After Yeosang vanished, they worked their asses off to find a way to 'unvanish'—as Mingi calls it—Yeosang which later proved that it was not easy. They haven't even found a similar case before, they might have a vague clue, however, and it does not dictate how they could bring him back.

Months of sleepless nights and having to take turns helping Mingi get back on his feet made them feel exhausted and hopeless. They would have given up if it weren't for the feeling that Yunho has.

Yunho never told it to anyone except for his mates, but he swore that he could still feel the link between him and Yeosang. It was faint, but it was still there. He doesn't know why Seonghwa is not feeling it.

"Oh, you remember that?" His eyebrows shot up in surprise, his eyes falling to see Jongho focusing on the book.

"I may be a devil. But for you, I'll be an angel." Yunho chuckled at hearing the same words come out of Jongho. Mingi could only face-palm at how idiotic he was back then, suddenly stomping to a human just because he felt a connection. He doesn't regret it though. He met Yunho in the process then continued to fall for the both of them.

"Guys..." They turned to Yunho, eyeing suspiciously the beaming smile that lit up on Yunho's face. "Mayhaps, I found a way to get Yeosang back." He placed the book down on the table and pointed at some ancient texts that Jongho could not understand.

"What the hell is that?" Yunho and Mingi chuckled, "How can you read this thing? This must be like a language ancients ago!"

"It's an angel or demon thing." Mingi waved dismissively, "Look! There is a way but..."

"What?"

"It will need a guardian angel's tear, a feather of an angel wing, the blood of a devil...? Why does that need? Anyways, there are other ingredients but it can easily be obtained." Yunho read out loud. "But..."

"Okay, stop with the buts!" Yunho and Mingi shared a look, then faced Jongho with the most serious expression that they could muster.

"We might get him back... but... there might be some things that might affect Yeosang."

"Like what?" Jongho felt afraid of knowing the answer, "Is it bad? Is he not going to be a guardian angel anymore? Isn't that what Yeosang wanted so that he could be with-"

"He'll lose all memories." Yunho stopped him from rambling.

"He also won't be connected to his soulmates again." Jongho's heart broke at the news. He felt bad as he knew that Yeosang is very much in love with Wooyoung and San.

"Is there a way to make his memories back?" Jongho asked.

"There is, why?"

"We could make his memories come back before he meets Wooyoung and San. With or without the connection. I know that Yeosang is in love with both of them..."

"It's not a bad thing." Mingi agreed, "If Yeosang does love them. They would still be soulmates even without the bond." Yunho looked at both of them, his eyes going back and forth.

"We can hide Yeosang until he gets his memories back."

"Fine, I give in."
