JISOO POV.
My heart is beating so loudly that i can hear it clearly. My hands are cold, yet sweating. They said that those halves of heart will connect once the two fated owners met, and no one and no ther forces can break that whole heart again.

But...what is this?

The heart is broken. And their glow become dull compared to when it was a whole.


'They said that the two fated people...but it's broken now...Does this meam...'

I don't know what to think and to do. I just stare at the keychains with a blank mind.

Then afterwards...i chuckle.

'Why am i disappointed and bothered? Did i actually though that we are fated?'

I shake my head with a bitter smile on my face.

'It's not that I...like him...'

Yet, what i am thinking is the opposite of what my heart is saying. My heart feels heavy and i feel like crying.

'This is what i'm talking about. I let myself be fooled about the tale of that keychain, and now...'

I lower my eyes and grip tightly on the doorknob.

'I'm already attached.'

And i close the door of my room.

Jisu called out to me and said to go to the dining are. The pizza is already there. Usually i would cheer up at the sight of pizza. But not today. Namjoon is the first one who noticed my presence. He looks at worriedly at me.

"Jisoo..."

I just smile without looking at him.

"Hm?"

"Are you..."

Jisu's loud gasp cuts namjoon off.

"Jisoo! Look at my flower!" She points the vase on the counter. My eyes slightly widen when i saw the difference of her flower to mines.

Her flower....is withering.

The edge of it's petals are brown. But mines is still glowing as if it is newly picked from the garden.

"Oh, no! I'm always taking care of it though." She pouts and sighs.

"Flowers are meant to wither though."

"I know, but..."

She sighs again and looks at Namjoon.

"Ah! Do you know where to find that flower? I want one again..."

"No..."

"Such a shame." She clicks her tongue.

"Oh well." She grins.

"Let's eat. Jisoo is here." I sit across Namjoon quietly. I can feel his gaze on every action i do. I refuse to look at him because i can already feel it.

It's not the same anymore.

Something changed.

Last time, i can feel his presence even he's meter away.

'But now...'

I bite my lower lip.

'I can't feel him.'

I look back at the White Flower of Jisu. It wasn't like that earlier when the four of us were working on the flyers.

'Do you believe in magic?'

My heart races for some reason. I tear my eyes away from the flower but only to meet namjoon's. I really can't feel it anymore.

No more sparks.

No more slow motion.

No more tingling.

'What happened?'

I don't know if i am the only one who feels like that. But with the look of his face, he already sensed something is off. The other two girls are talking to each other, but it's as if i can't hear them.

My mind is swirling.

"Namjoon, you're not gonna eat?"

That catches both of my and namjoon's attention. He looks at my twin with a slightly surprised look. My eyes watch their exchange.

Then i saw it.

The way jisu freezes when their eyes met. I saw how she stopped breathing. I saw how her cheeks blush.

I saw my old self: when i can still feel the tingles whenever i am looking at Namjoon he avert his gaze and Jisu comes back to her senses.

"I-I'm still full."

"O-oh..." I just stare at the two of them with a blank look.

'What the heck was that?!'

I purse my lips into a thin line. When suddenly, i remember what happened earlier.

"I wish to be you, Jisoo."

'Wait...does that mean...?'

I stare nowhere, thinking.

'It can't be...right?'

I moisten my dry lips and gulp thickly. I didn't said a word as i work on the flyer. I refuse to look up at them and just mind my own business. Before i knew it, it's already time for them to leave.

Me and my twin are seeing them off when Namjoon called my name.

"Um, about the dog..."

"Uh, what about it?" He stands awkwardly in front of me.

"Can i get your number? I'll text the details about her."

"Oh, sure." He grins and gives me his phone. I reach out to it and my fingers brushed. But i didn't feel anything. I expect to feel a bolt of electricity as always. But i only felt warmth.

However, his warmth is enough to make my heart go wild. After entering my number in his phone, i give to him.

"I have something to---"

"---Namjoon!"

My twin beams and walks at my side.

"You're still here? I just grabbed a taxi for Sunghyo."

"Oh, i just said something to Jisoo." Then he looks at me with expectant eyes.

"You're about to say something, right?" I open my mouth, but closes it again.

"Thank you for the puppy. Take care." I forced out a smile. He stares at my face, scanning it.

"What puppy?"

"I see. See you on Monday." I nod and wave at him.

"Yeah. Goodbye."

He waves back a little, his eyes still scanning my face.

"Yeah..." Jisu fell silent beside me. Namjoon turns around to walk away.

"Nam---"

"Namjoon!" He turns around with anticipation in his eyes.

"Yes, Jisoo?" I don't even know why i called him. The moment i heard his name coming out of my twin's mouth sent a sense of uneasiness in my system.

"Tomorrow is Sunday, let's go out."

Shock is written in both of Namjoon's and my twin's faces. They surely didn't expect that coming from me. Namjoon is the first one to recover with a slight blush.

"But i have my part-time job to do tomorrow."

"No problem. I'll just help you."

"Wait..."

"Let's talk about that details later, okay?" I beam at Namjoon and he just stares at me being out of character. But amusement and delight is visible in his eyes as he nods.

"Sure. I'll really leave now." He chuckles and waved at me the to jisu before walking away for real. I wait 'till he's out of sigh before turning around to go inside.

"Jisoo." I halt and turn my head to face jisu.

"Hm?" She's still staring at where Namjoon went to. There's a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"You like Namjoon, right?" I pause for a while. I asked myself that question again.

'He's...not unlikable.'

"Likes."

I nod. I fully face her with my body, expression becoming serious.

"How about you?"

She finally looks at me.

"Do you like Namjoon?"

There's a tense silence between the two of us. We are just staring at each other, unmoving. When she didn't said anything, i take that chance to speak again.

"Jisu, are you feeling it? The tingling feeling. The uncontrollable fasten of your heartbeat. The magnetic force in his eyes and the way you feel so attracted to it?"

"Are you feeling all of those?" She didn't say anything but nods.

"I used to feel those, too. But for some reason it stopped when..." I look back at my house. "...you made that wish." Confusion is visible in her eyes.

"What are you trying to say...?"

"I don't know. But the moment you said those words, something changed. Call me paranoid or crazy, but that's what i felt." She stares at me for a while, her face blank. I've never seen her this serious before.

"My wish was granted? That's what you're hinting?"

It's my turn to fall silent.

"Why not?"

She smile mockingly. She opens her mouth to say something, but she just stutters. Then her smile slowly fades and her eyes widen in recognition.

"Didn't you felt something after you wished that? I'm sure you did."

"I..did.."

She scoffs in disbelief.

"I don't know."

'Do you believe in magic?'

I shivered when i heard that voice and sentence again.

It can't be...right?

"Sorcery...?"

"Sorcery?" She repeated.

"Like, witchcraft or something?"

I shrug.

"But how?"

"I don't know." I sigh and shake my head.

"Wait, you're actually believing that there's something...unrealistic that happened?"

"You're the one who's trying to say so."

"It was just a huge, unthinkable guess..."

"...but possible."

'Possible...'

"Let's...just came inside."

The two of us went inside my house.

None of us dared to speak and break the silence. We both part ways to go my respective rooms, minds still in a maze. I slump back on my bed, gazing up the ceiling.

'I have seriously no idea what's going on.'

In this world i live in, do i think there are some things that exist which i don't expect or can be only heard in a book or a movie?

How can i react to that?

Just imagining what happened makes my heart hurt. I want to trust my guts. And my gut is telling me that something unordinary is involved in my life. The hints are already in front of my face.

The child in my past that looks exactly like Henry, my wierd dreams, the two keychains, the unknowns woman's voice, the mysterious books, the familiar penmanship...

'...what else?'

But i am too afraid to believe in that. I am scared to find out what i don't want to know. Are you just gonna ignore what's happening?

'If my assumption is right thay jisu and i changed souls when she made a wish, and now jisu and Namjoon are soulmates, what makes of me? Am i...not meant to be with him anymore? I'm not his half anymore?'

That thought makes my stomach turn.

No.

I won't accept that.

If jisu's wish was granted, can't it grant mines too? But what is my wish? I am gonna wish that me and Namjoon are soulmates again? Just think about it.

I can wish for anything.

Why not just look for another love? Or wish for money? Or i can make my favorite character from a book into a real human being? Have a lifetime supply of my favorite food! Or i can have all the things i want? There are so many things i can wish for!

I can wish for another wish---

'That's now how this works, jisoo.'

My heart rate double when i heard that woman's voice again. I sit up straight from my bed and look around my room frantically.

"Wh-Who are you?!"

'I'm a part of my heart that was left to guide you.'

I gasp when the voice answered me. I didn't expect that. Hairs on my arms rise.

'Don't be afraid, jisoo. I'm a friend. However, i don't know why i can still talk to you when you don't have that soul anymore.'

"Hold on. Just a sec..."

I pinch myself hard and screams in pain.

"Wait, this is real?! You're really talking to me?!" I start screaming. I am ready to run away when a book hit me hard on the head making me lose balance and fall on the floor.

"Ouch!"

'Calm down, for miracle souls' sake, goodness...'

I heard her sigh.

'You're the first human who freaked out so much after hearing me. Well, there's only two of you whom i talked to like this...'

I rub the aching spot on my head with a scowl.

"Who are you? Why am i hearing you? And what do you mean to help me?"

'So many question...But i can only answer few. I'll leave the rest to Hiram.'

(I guess you know hiram, i mention Hiram on enchated on epecial chapter. This half and Enchated is connected to each other. Anyway i will explain about half and enchated when the chapter is over.)

"Okay, now who is hiram?"

'You'll know soon. You can hear me because of my wish. I used to have the miracle soul.'

"What the foo is miracle soul?"

'Let me finish talking first, kid.'

He sighs again.

Everything still feels surreal.

The room feels cold and i am frozen on my spot. When i fell silent, she starts talking again.

'I used to have the miracle soul, but since i passed away, the soul needs to find another body. And after fifty years, the only two miracle souls in the world finally met.'

"And that's..."

'You and Namjoon.'

Chills ran down on my spine.

"You know Namjoon?"

'Oh, i know everything Jisoo.'

I can imagine smile in her words. She's enjoying this. Even though i can't see her, i gave her a doubtful look.

"What's a miracle soul? Are namjoon and i still soulmates? And what do you mean you're part of your heart?"

The more i think about it, the more question line up in my mind.

'I know you read what's written on my diary so you should already know what a miracle soul is.'

"You mean..."

I frown.

My head is already hurting.

'The Diary of a White Flower is hers?'

'Should I explain it again? Let's just say that there are only two existing souls that are meant to be...and those body with souls like those called soulmates. Soulmates have those two miracle souls. In other words, they are meant to be. Destined. Each other's half.'

"How..."

'With magic, you don't need question Jisoo.'

That shut me up. Anything can happen with the use of magic; sorcery.

'Unfortunately, you and namjoon are...not soulmated anymore. Yes, you are right about what you said earlier. Your twin's wish was granted. How? I think you can answer that question, jisoo. Also, i'm here because of the wish i made. Before i died, i made a wish to guide the person who finally met his or her other half. I put my heart in my magic ball which turned into dusts and freed by you.'

I massage my temple and close my eyes.

"Wow, i feel so guided."

I said sacastically. She just chuckles at my words. Her voice sounds like an old lady, but it's comforting. Her words are dripping with grace and elegance.

"Okay, last question before my mind explodes...what are you?"

There's a silence for a while. I though that she's gone when she suddenly speaks again.

'Enchantress.'

Her voice fades when she said that words. I figured that she's gone when my calls were not answered.

'An enchantress?'

My phone vibrates on my bedside table, pulling my out of my thoughts. I grab it to look at the screen and saw that unknown number messaged me.

Unknown Number:
"Hi."

A smile paints in my lips at the cur word. I already know who this is. I immediately save his number in my phone.

Joonie:
"It's Namjoon."

You:
"I know."

I am glad that he messaged me so my mind won't be thinking about what happened ealier this day. He's the distraction i need. The distraction i am willing to be distracted anytime.

His name is enough to put me at ease.

You:
"Where do u work."

Joonie:
"In a gas station."

You:
"Night or morning?"

Joone:
"For tomorrow, i'll work for whole day."

He replies are formal which makes him feel distant.

You:
"Go here before you work to pick me up and to drop shota off."

Joonie:
"Roger."

I snicker at my conversation. I copied the fomat of his text to look formal too, but he also copied mines. I don't know if he's doing that to tease me or what.

You:
"Is it okay to come with you at work?"

Joone:
"You're asking that now Hahaha."

I lie down on my bed with a smile on my face.

You:
"Well i don't want to get you in trouble."

Jooni:
"Your presence is appreciated."

You:
"I know, you should be thankful."

Jooni:
"I am xD."

I chuckle at the old fashioned emoticon.

'Cute.'

You:
"I'm bringing books."

Joonie:
"0o0 really?!"

I spent an hour talking to Namjoon. I didn't even know that an hour has already passed. I look at the time and saw that it's past seven. Jisu hasn't called me for dinner yet. Maybe there's no dinner?

But it's fine, i am still enjoying talking to Namjoon.

You:
"Oh, what time do you get off work?"

Joonie:
"Around 6, y?"

After that one hour of talking to him, he finally loosened up with the way he spell the words.

You:
"Let's buy Shota foods and toys."

Joonie:
"Sure. Actually, there's a toy in his box and he seems to really like that."

Joonie:
"People gave him some toys, but he didn't like them."

The two of us talked some more. I talked about random things, books i like, like and dont's, favorite music, opinions about that...

All in all, i enjoyed talking to him and i don't want our conversation to end.

Joonie:
"You were so bolf earlier >U<"

You:
"Wdym."

Joonie:
"Asking me out like that specially in front of ur twin ;)"

You:
"Shut up."

Joonie:
";)))"

You:
"Heeey."

Joonie:
"(¤_¤)"

You:
"Tf."

I laugh at the emoticon.

You:
"Btw, u gonna sleep now?"

Joonie:
"Not yet, why ;)"

You:
"Stop with the winking it's just there r many things going on inside my head."

Joonie:
"Same uwu"

You:
"Nah, this is serious like u wldn't believe wat happened to me."

I turn on my side, hugging my pillow

Joonie:
"So i heard."

You:
"Huh?"

Joonie:
"Nvm, so wut happened to u?"

You:
"Ur gonna think i'm crazy."

Joonie:
"Dw, already think that way xD."

You:
"T fu."

Joonie:
"Ehehe."

You:
"Hihihi."

Joonie:
"Hohoho."

You:
"Huhuhu."

Joonie:
"But i don't think about it. I'm here to help you get off from your thoughts."

I stare at his words for a while.

You:
"Thank you."

Joonie:
"Np uwu."

You:
"uwu."

Joonie:
"Owo."

You:
"3w3."

Joonie:
"=w=."

You:
"nwn."

Joonie:
"w0w."

You:
"WoW."

Joonie:
"w3w."

You:
"Wtf."

I heave a sigh, a happy one. I used to text this way with jin. I only do that when i can't think of a reply, but i still want to talk with him. But now, i never though i am going to enjoy just chatting this way. It might be nonsense, but i like it.

I promise myself that i will make tomorrow enjoyable and happy. No sad moments. The two of us continue to talk some more. He talked to me until i don't think about the old-woman-voice said.

He entertained until my eyes grew tired and become sleepy.

Joonie:
"Jisoo?"

Joonie:
"Still there?"

Joonie:
"Are u asleep?"

Joonie:
"Ahaha good i hope u have a nice dream."

Joonie:
"See u tomorrow.

Joonie:
"Goodnight."

THE NEXT MORNING.

The doorbell rang and i spring up on my feet. I dash on the main door and stand there for a minute to hide my cheerful face. I am not a morning person but the energy i have today is quite surprising.

It's still six in the morning and the whole house is quiet so it feels kinda weird to be up at this time.

I take a deep breath before opening the door.

'Arf!'

Shota immediately licks my face the moment i open the door. I took a step backwards, giggling.

"Looks like she like's you already."

She barks in response, wagging her tail. He puts her down and she enters my house as if she already knows it's gonna be her new home. I look up at Namjoon and my eyes met.

Simultaneously, i shared an amused smile.

"Come in."

He enters my house without saying anything. I am planning on making Shota feel at home and probably bond with her before leaving so Jisu doesn't have to deal with her loud barks.

But it looks like she's comfortable enough...

"She's peeing on the floor..."

"I can see that."

I said with a wry smile then sigh.

"I help you clean up."

He laughs and picks Shota up.

I made a note for Jisu at home. She doesn't know that i am leaving and she'll surely be surprised about the puppy there.

"There are good." He said with mouth full of the sandwich i brough in the bakery near my house. He didn't have breakfast so i decided to treat him.

"I know. They sell good breads."

"Let's come back there together next time."

I pause for sec before pursing my lips, trying to stop a smile.

"Sure." I replied meekly. There's a comfortable and pleasing atmosphere between the two of us. Small talks and laughs. Faint blushes and smiles.

It's...nice.

The two of us are talking about something when his eyes travels on my bag and he abruptly stops talking. He become pale and his eyes were dilated. I stop walking and look at my bag.

He's looking at the keychain. I also become pale and heart beats faster.

"It...split?"

I took a sharp breath at his question.

"Y-yeah."

The atmosphere dramatically changed. I don't know why i feel guilty.

"I'll...give yours back later."

"No..."

I am surprised by how his voice sounds so weary.

"Just keep it. I don't want it." I chew my lip at how heavy the mood is.

"Okay. But isn't it a relief that the keychains are finally detached?" I try to sound cheerful to lighten up the mood.

"I mean, i was really stressed out on how to separated our keychain..."

"Do you know what this means?"

He's not looking at me, but from the tone of this voice, i know he knows something.

I just stare at him for a while.

"Do you?"

"Yes."

"Then i do, too."

He finally turns to look at me.

"Wait..."

"Do you know the story behind those keychains? That once the two fated owners met, it will become attached and never come off?" His eyes are wide, just staring back at me.

"And now that our keychains are separated, do you know what it means?"

"...yes."

I bite my lower lip.

"I do, too..."

My voice fades and i look down.

'I just promised last night that I'll make today happy. What's happening right now?'

I forced a smile and look up at him.

"Let's just forget about this and be...happy for now." He didn't utter anything. He's just looking at me deeply

"Who says you need to be with destined one to be happy?"

He whispered, barely audible.

"What did you said...?" He took a deep breath. His eyes show new resolution and determination. And my heartbeat became faster under his unwavering gaze.

"Jisoo, I li---"

"Please move!" I barely processed what happened. Namjoon pushed me and i felt a gush of wind passing by. A fast bicycle went rushing between we us.

He glares at driver and huffs.

"So reckless."

But i don't even care about how i almost got ran over by a bike. My mind is stuck on what he was about to say.

'Jisoo, don't expect him to say what you're really expecting.'

But my heart is thumping in my chest. I feel unsettled and decided to ask him.

"You...were saying?"

He looks back at me and blinks. Then he immediately avoids his gaze, cheeks tinting pinks.

"Nothing important." I feel really disappointed but decided to let it go.

'Maybe i'm just expecting too much.'

I shake my head and smile.

"Let's just enjoy this day and not worry about a single thing, okay?"

He nods with a smile.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

He hold out his pinky and i link mines with him. A giggles slips out of his mouth before he can stop it. He flushes and looks away while i watch him with a big smile.

"Let's go."

And the two of us starts walking, pinkies still linked tightly.
