Digging his finger into the clay of the head he is making, Minho was covered all in clay stains where he wiped his forehead from sweat since he's been trying to sculpt Jisung for the past few hours but his room was filled with his failing attempts.

He gritted his teeth as he threw his both hand hitting the semi-solid clay with his hands ruining what he has been working on from the past hours but nothing came the same as his expectations.

Jisung was so beautiful and pretty that Minho is unable to capture that in his sculpting.

He felt ashamed of the talent he owned all this year just to be simply ruined by a few failing attempts... Taking that hiatus put him further and far away from what he used to do.

Minho:"I hate sculpting"

Yuna, the blue fairy who grew a huge warm spot towards Minho had flown from behind him and offered him fresh bunny blood from their garden, he took it and drank the whole thing in one shot before throwing the glass against the floor still frustrated with how ugly all the head status he made so far.

He realized after a minute what he had done which causes him to feel bad that he pulled his anger on the bottle, Minho turned to Yuna and apologized to her but she already forgives him and the vampire knows that because she hugs his cheek.

Yuna:"it's okay Minho, it's okay to be mad"

She comforted him but the vampire wasn't aware of the soft tone she used on him because he was clueless at what the fairy was trying to say but he couldn't stay still since he brought his hand and cupped the fairy in his palm and then closed his right eye.

Minho:"I wish I could understand you"

Yuna felt her wings flickering so fast while being so close to the vampire but she soon got away from his hold when there was a knock on his room door.

Jisung:"can I come in?"

Minho quickly hid the statue he's been working on with a huge cloth and signaled Yuna to go bring him in where she flew across the room to open the door for Jisung who stepped in while she left the room.

Minho:"did you have dinner?"

It was the first thing he asked after Jisung approached him beside him on a different wooden chair.

Jisung:"yes...remy and Taiyo joined me but I wanted your presence with me"

That took him off guard as he wasn't expecting him to be straightforward already, he needs to get used to him by now. Minho didn't want his blushing face to get worse so he tried to avoid the other's eye contact while leading the conversation on.

Minho:"Heavens Jisung, we are living under a roof...how can my absence of one dinner make you feel like this?"

He lowered his head still refusing to meet Jisung's eyes, he was clutching his fists on top of his knees while biting his lips with his teeth, something about Jisung being straightforward is getting out of hand and getting him to feel weird foreign feelings that were locked in his chest.

Jisung:" I feel like I shouldn't be away from you and stick by your side forever"

He put his hands on top of his clutched fists which brought his attention and finally his right eye was focused on Jisung's different colored eyes.

The eye contact took longer than it should be yet soon enough, Minho was able to escape his gaze.

Minho:"stop that...you're making me feel the same as you suddenly"

He let go of his hand gently and faced him with furrowed brows where Jisung smiled and reached his hand again and put them on Minho's cheeks making his right eye go wide and eyebrows to go up.

This view of the vampire being all flustered is something Jisung wants to keep to himself- a very precious Minho he wants to protect.

Jisung:"that because of our bond"

Minho:"our bond?"

He knotted his brows again confused by the sudden new information coming out from Jisung's mouth, Minho slapped the hands away from his cheeks again but the fairy man was fast to hold his hands again- they were getting so touchy the more they dig deep into this conversation.

Minho looked down at their intertwined fingers where he couldn't stop blushing over how Jisung is obsessed with holding his hands.

Jisung:"we are soulmates, whatever I feel you feel it and it is the same thing that goes the opposite way...that's why we got along pretty quickly"

Minho was a blushing mess after hearing that, and at the same time he wasn't hating it since his bond with jisung started to get out of control so he let himself melt under the touch of his soulmate.

Minho:"so whenever I...I am okay with you touching me, hugging me and being closer to me...i accept it because we are soul-soulmates...?!"

He took a quick glance at Jisung before averting his gaze away not understanding why he is getting so flustered to look at his eyes, he blames it all on the bond thing.

Jisung:"my one and only soulmate"

It was like a whisper and it sounds like he's claiming him with that title, Minho was his soulmate that he shall be with and protected forever. Nobody can take him away from him.

Minho belongs to Jisung and the same goes for Jisung belonging to Minho.

They can not be inseparable.

Minho:"that explains why my heart accepts you so easily"

They were so close with their forehead connecting and nose touching with their eyes not getting away from their sight, it was so obvious that both held more than just simple friendship in their intense stare towards the other yet both were blind to see that since they have never been familiar with love before so they couldn't see it.

Thinking what they are feeling right now was just because of the soulmate bond but little do they know that their heart was also involved in this situation.

Jisung:"anyways...who were you sculpting? is it done yet?"

He decided to change the topic up in seeing all those unfinished clay heads everywhere all around the floor and he could see something hidden behind Minho.

The vampire noticed Jisung looking behind just for him to blush a little and move to the side to hide it even if it was already covered.

He was so embarrassed to admit he's been trying to sculpt him for the past few hours.

Minho:"That's a surprise but I'm still in progress of getting my talent back, I stopped for a long period and I need time to pick it up again"

He picked an excuse to distract Jisung from asking more questions about it and he succeeded when Jisung rubbed both of his thumbs against the back of Minho's hands with slightly nodding and a grin appearing in his lips.

The fairy man looked at Minho just to find him looking away while his front hair was covering his eyes. Jisung lets go of one of the vampire's hands and extends his to remove the hair from his eye gaining Minho's attention to look at him with his wide right eye.

Jisung:"don't overwork yourself, okay?"

Minho's cheeks weren't getting any less redder so he just nodded at what he said averting his eyes again.

Minho:"okay..."

Jisung flickered his chin with his fingers before going backwards taking a straight sitting position.

Jisung:"I'm bored, do you wanna step out?"

He signed with his thumb behind him gaining minho's attention again who furrowed his eye brows confused on what could be found at this late at night.

Minho:"but it's night"

Jisung:"which makes it better"

.

.

.

Minho:"this place never failed to amaze me"

His right eye wonders around the whole view of the lily garden and the night edition was better than the day version, he likes it so much since you can clearly hear the loud, shrill droning noise of the cicadas along with the water flow and the sight of the strong light coming out from the fireflies were incomparable to day time.

Everything right now in this night feels magical.

Jisung:"best time to clear your mind from anything"

He got closer to the vampire who's been focused on the beautiful view that he let jisung hold him by his waist and brought him more closer to his side where their shoulders bumped against each other.

A reflex move Minho did was putting his head unintentionally on Jisung's head while still admiring his surroundings.

But soon enough their moment was interrupted by the fairies coming their way, the oldest one had flown straight toward jisung to lecture him.

Remy:"sungie!! You shouldn't be outside at this hour...you need to rest, it is a part of your treatment"

Both jisung and Minho look up at remy but they still didn't budge from their position where the fairy man moved his hand from his soulmate's waist up towards shoulder for the vampire to close his right eye feeling blessed by Jisung's touch and warmth against his body.

Yuna:"Minho also needs to rest, he's been sculpting all day"

Remy was shocked to hear her own sister be worried about someone other than jisung for the first time in seventeen years and it left her to get speechless while the demi-fae couldn't even focus on what she said since Minho was being so adorable in his arms snuggling closer and closer.

Taiyo finally catches up with them where she sits on Jisung's hand that was holding Minho's shoulder and look straight at her blue fairy sister.

Taiyo:"ohhh~ does Yuna have a crush on Minho?"

She joked but Yuna immediately blushed and flew behind remy to hide herself, she was being very obvious that brought Jisung's attention and let go of Minho just to focus on the blue fairy.

Jisung:"you're kidding...no way"

Minho was confused on what was going on and what was the reason for Jisung to let go of him so he put his hand on top of jisung's upper thigh to gain his attention which worked.

Minho:"what? What happened?"

Jisung turned to him with a smile where he wrapped his arms around Minho's shoulder again.

Jisung:"I think we found a way how you would be able to understand fairy language"

The vampire knotted his eyebrows together, why did he suddenly bring that up? It is not like Minho is motivated to start studying this language any time soon.

Minho:"I don't understand, didn't you say that it takes time and effort?"

He asked with an unsure tone, jisung was being very confusing right now and he wasn't unaware of his intention, he always thought he was so slow to pick up things but turned out that Jisung was making things complicated to understand.

Jisung:"there's another way, if you get kissed by a fairy that has a crush on you, you would be able to understand their language for 2 months"

Once the confusion was cleared, Minho made an "ohh" with his lips finally getting what Jisung has been trying to tell him and he had to ask more questions which consists of that.

Minho:"why two months?"

Like how can Jisung know that Yuna's crush would last for two months?

Jisung:"fairies feelings are easily detachable and it won't take time for Yuna to forget about having a crush on you, it's fairy's nature"

Minho's just getting dumber and dumber the more complicated it gets which is related to the fairy forests. Jisung had it all in his brain and it makes him feel somehow all mighty while all Minho could do is catch up with him.

He seriously felt hopeless but also grateful that the fairy man wasn't seeing him as an obstacle.

Minho:"I see, then she shall do it"

The moment he said that, Remy pushed Yuna towards him who struggles to actually fly right and was taken off guard by how beautiful the vampire looks.

Yuna:"why is he so pretty?"

She hid her face with her hands flying the opposite towards her sister again who just rolled her eyes and held her by her shoulders to turn her around and pushed her forward again.

Remy:"stop overreacting and do it already"

Taiyo:"go Yuna! Go Yuna!"

With her other sister's encouragement, Yuna was able to leave a peck on Minho's fluffy lips and that action made her actually glow in all blue in front of them since that how fairies blush.

Yuna immediately flies into Jisung's chest hiding her tiny face that leads him to hold her with the palm of his left hand and start tabing her for comfort.

Jisung:"congratulations on your first kiss, Yuna"

Minho didn't know why but he wanted jisung to Pat him too so he crawled in between Jisung's legs for their both chests to squeeze Yuna, yet they couldn't care less about her and focused on each other.

Minho:"that was my first kiss either"

Minho's face got more closer the moment he said that for jisung's eyes to get more widen at the sudden closeness they are having, his cheeks glow in green since the vampire was this much closer to him and Minho could swear that jisung's blush glowing is the most beautiful thing he ever witnessed.

Jisung:"congratulations on your first kiss, minho"

He brought the same hand he comforts Yuna with and pat Minho's hair stroking it for the vampire to wear a satisfied smile and brush his pointy nose against Jisung's cute nose making him smile as well.

Remy:"in your case, that is barely a kiss since you need someone your size to be able to call it a kiss"

Their moment was interrupted by Remy again which causes them to turn their head at the same time to look at her with emotionless expression.

They didn't know why both of them were getting annoyed every time the closeness between them decreased.

Minho:"is she always like this?"

He asked Jisung who escaped his embrace, Something clearly is bugging Minho whenever Jisung gets away from him and he can only blame it on the soulmate bond they have... Again!

Jisung:"just don't trigger her too much because she can get worse than this"
