Minho was walking through the forest breathing the refreshing air and listening to the wild animals howl in his ears, he was on his solo journey to bring ingredients for the house while Jisung went in the opposite direction for the same reason but his journey to his direction was more dangerous than his own.

Him and the fairy man had a long 2 hours disagreement in whether they should go together or not with Minho wanting to go with him to support him while Jisung denied saying that he doesn't want to put Minho into more danger.

They come to an agreement with flipping the silver coin for Jisung to win over Minho just to do as he wants and as much as the vampire hates this method of letting a coin decide for them, yet he couldn't but agree and did as Jisung wants.

Minho ended up at where he is collecting blueberries and herbs While jisung went on a full mountain adventure to bring a very rare leather from a huge mythical bull creature which the texture is hard like a stone and Jisung already is using that leather as a protecting vest and he wanted to make another one for Minho.

Minho was Jisung's priority and he had to look after him from any danger, he would forget himself and save his soulmate in any situation since he was his own claimed protector and that is the main reason why Jisung was against Minho coming with him to the bulls mountain, just because he want to protect him and Minho knew that very well yet he couldn't but feel betrayed since Jisung promised that they would always be in this together.

Yuna:"Minho...do you like Jisung?"

She flew behind him just when they stepped into the house, both of them put the blueberries and mushrooms down on the kitchen counter where Minho brought a bowl to wash all the blueberries in the sink and that was when he decided to answer her question.

Minho:"of course I like him Yuna, he's my soulmate"

Once he was done washing them, he placed them again on the counter where he pulled a sharp homemade knife and started cutting the blueberries into little pieces.

At that moment, it was Yuna's turn to sit down on the edge of the bawl that Minho was taking the washed blueberries from as she watched how he cut them and put them in another smaller bowl.

Yuna:"no I mean...do you like...really really like him...? like that kind of like that is very powerful"

Minho stopped hitting the knife against the counter surface and shot her with a confused look.

Minho:"you mean love?"

He was unsure if that was what Yuna was meaning but he felt relive upon seeing her smile again, he wonders what she meant by asking that.

LYuna:"yeah!! Does Minho love Jisung?"

Yuna got excited to hear the word she's been looking for and flew very close to him where both of their faces got so close to each other and that made Minho flinch a bit and widen his right eye but he immediately averted his gaze and put the last blueberry pieces he cut into the bowl.

Minho:"I don't know what kind of love you're referring to but I really care about him"

He let out a nervous chuckle, Minho knew very much what love Yuna is referring to but he decided to avoid answering that since he doesn't know what special relationships he and Jisung have.

Minho thought of it as friendship but friends don't look at each other with full passion and admiration.

Yuna:"do you think you're able to live without him?"

The fairy asked something else and Minho was taken off guard how straightforward that question was, which made him stop spinning the spoon on the blueberry jam he's almost done with cooking.

Minho:"I mean yeah..."

He imagined his life before meeting Jisung by excluding all the bad treatments he got from the vampire emperor, Minho could live on his own if he had too.

He smiled at the fairy to say his sentence this time that goes like "I've done it before then why wouldn't I do it again after meeting him?" which left Yuna wordless having nothing to answer him with.

Yuna:"I don't know"

He chuckled again feeling like he claimed victory in winning this question conversation against Yuna but he didn't make it such a big deal as he turned off the stove to let the blueberry jam cool down.

Minho:"Let's stop asking questions and come help me make something with these blueberries for Jisung"

.

After a long day spent in the kitchen, Minho finally got some time to relax where he sat on the rocking chair outside the house while watching the sunset along with waiting for Jisung to come back.

Yuna:"they are taking too long to come back...what if something happened to them on their way back"

They usually come back before sunset That is why the tiny fairy got worried about her sisters and most importantly Jisung, Minho only smiled nervously thinking of what Yuna is saying could be actually true but he tried to deny it.

Minho:"don't say such things Yuna, Jisung is strong and I'm sure he will be back anytime soon, I trust him"

He assured both him and the fairy with patting her head along with hitting the fingers of his other hands against the chair's supporters, he was getting scared of the possibilities of losing Jisung which led him to bits into his lower lip.

Remy:"MINHO!!!!"

A smile appeared on his lips when he heard his name being called, he shot his face straight looking forward to finding only Remy and taiyo without Jisung... Minho stands up still looking behind the two fairies but no trace of his soulmate.

At the same time, he wondered why the fairies were crying as well.

Minho:"Remy? What happened? Why are you crying? and where's Jisung?"

He lifted his hands and opened them for Remy to collapse on her knees on top of his huge palms while tears weren't showing any sign of stopping.

Remy:"me and taiyo couldn't accompany him inside the bull's inn and we've been waiting for him for hours but the places suddenly collapsed and got destroyed and we think it's because of the battle between him and the giant creatures"

She sniffed wiping her tears with her elbows and looked up at Minho after explaining the reason why she had been crying just to find the vampire with a frozen expression.

But even with the shocking news he was able to say "so you're saying...Jisung is dead?" with a very weak voice since he's been holding his tears from crying in front of the fairies.

Taiyo:"I never thought that this day would come early and jisung would leave us all behind"

Yuna nudged her with her elbow, the yellow fairy was about to mention Jisung disease and that he would be dead any sooner or later but they remember the fairy man telling them not to say anything to Minho until he does and the fairies obey his decision.

But now, he's no longer here and would never come back.

Yuna:"Minho? Are you okay?"

Minho finally comes to his senses where Remy had flown away from his palm when he dropped them and then looked at Yuna with shiny eyes still insisting on the idea of not crying in front of them.

Minho:"I need to go to my room"

He turned around to the opposite side where he took a hold firm on the doorknob and twisted it open to step inside the house while hugging himself on his way to his room, his gaze kept focused on the ground as he finally reached his bedroom where he sat down on the floor with laying his back against the footboard slat and putting the back of his head against the mattress with his eyes meeting the ceiling.

Minho(💭):«it can't be it can't be it can't be...Jisung can't die, we-we... still have so much to do together...why didn't he take me with him? At least I'll be there to help but look at our fate...he's gone and would never come back»

He closed his right eye for the tears he has been holding to escape his right eye wetting his cheeks while he's trying to control over his left eye and not make it cry blood like last time.

Minho got to think what life would be without Jisung? his life without his savior and house mate, his life without his friend and partner in crime, his life without his soulmate.

He wanted to cry but the pain he started feeling around his left eye prevented him from doing that.

Minho:"I've lied to Yuna and myself... I don't think I can live without you, jisung"

He finally brought his hand out from the hug he was giving himself and put his palm on top of his right eye while gritting his teeth still fighting the urge to not break down on crying.

Silent was surrounded by him and he could only hear his soft sniffs and his voice muttering Jisung's name under his nose whenever his memory decided to remind him of the good times with him.

Jisung:"MINHOOOO!! WHERE ARE YOU MY SOULMATE?!"

The voice, the call, the nickname...

Everything had brought Minho from his misery and deep ocean of thoughts... he found himself on his feet dashing towards the fireplace room, the same source of where the voice is coming from.

Once he stepped outside his bedroom walking towards the fireplace room, his right eye wandered around the room until it spotted Jisung in the middle of the room bickering with Remy like always while holding a massive bag in his shoulders.

Minho:"you are alive..."

Minho spoke stopping their bickering where Jisung looked at his soulmate with an almost teary eye as his tone sounded sad to his ear, he dropped the bag then started walking towards his soulmate and on his way, he removed his heavy vest along with his belt and threw them along with his arrow quiver on the ground, that when he opened his arms for Minho to jump onto his embrace fitting perfectly in his embrace.

Jisung:"I'm sorry..."

The fairy man was aware of why he could feel the sorrow coming from Minho since he noticed his right eye being puffy- which only means that Minho thought he was dead and cried for him as the result of that.

Minho:"don't ever disappear from in front of me, don't die on me, don't leave me alone...i don't know what life is without you"

The vampire clutches his hold around Jisung's shirt fabric while burying his head on his shoulders while trying his best not to tear up again because of the presence of the person he doesn't want to lose.

Jisung:"I'm here and would never leave your side"

Minho:"you promise?"

He looked up with the big pleading shining red eye of his, Jisung could see his long silver lashes being wet from his tears but he smiled at him and brought his left hand to hold Minho's right cheek and rub his thumb from the corner of his eyes down towards his upper cheeks.

Jisung knew his promise would be broken and he would leave this world leaving everything one day and it hurt to admit that he wanted to live eternity with all of them.

Jisung:"i promise, I'm smelling a good smell...did you cook something for me?"

He looked towards the kitchen since the strong smell of baking couldn't escape his nose, he looked down with a questioning eyebrows along with a smile... Minho got excited at the mention of that since he made a whole menu for him to taste.

Minho:"I tried to make you some other things with blueberry rather than a pie"

Jisung:"show me"

The vampire chuckled and took his hand then started dragging him toward the kitchen, when Minho was about to let go of his hand to open the cold room, but Jisung refused to let go as he intertwined their fingers and helped him with his free hand, it was childish that he grow an addiction over holding his hand but Minho wasn't complaining but feeling more blessed.

Minho:"blueberry tart, blueberry muffins, blueberry cake"

After they put all the dessert on the table, Minho would point at every piece and tell jisung the name of each one and upon hearing the new names, the fairy man's mouth was wide open where you could see him drooling...he wiped that saliva away with his bare wrist quickly making Minho chuckle at his cuteness.

Jisung:"I have never seen food formed like this in my life, blueberry pie was the only dessert I've eaten"

His boba eyes come to meet with his red right eye for Minho to look down at him and feel sad that this was Jisung's first time to hear about names and know about such dessert forms.

Minho:"why?"

His gaze focused down to their intertwined hands and blushing over how Jisung's thumb never stopped rubbing against his skin the moment their hands were connected... His hands were so warm and addicting.

Jisung:"it was the only recipe from the cooking book we have and I wasn't allowed to step outside because it is dangerous out there since humans collect fairies for studies and slavery"

Minho finally took a seat in front of him watching how Jisung lifted the muffin with his free hand and took a bit of it just for his eyes to go wide again which shines were visible in them that led him to take another then another bite until he finished it.

Seeing jisung happy with the taste of the muffin was enough to change Minho's gloomy day into a vibrant one.

Minho:"well, I've lived with other kinds of humans for so long that made me gain some information about food recipes"

Jisung listened to what the vampire was trying to explain to him about his knowledge of the new blueberry desserts he made for him just to think of what Minho said about the "humans" a bit weird that caused him to wonder what kind of "humans" Minho was referring to and being the straightforward creature he is, Jisung needed to ask his curiosity out.

Jisung:"you lived with humans even though you are a vampire?"

He asked about shoving another muffin in his mouth while the vampire started feeling a bit sad that he's talking about the humans he met through his 16 years of living in the vampire empire.

Minho:"yeah, to put it shortly...I've always hated my own race, I never felt belonged with them and the humans I spent my past years with made me feel accepted"

He used a sad yet weak tone to explain his situation with the humans and Jisung could sense the sorrow coming from Minho again where the only thing he can do right now was hold his other free hand and make him look at him.

Jisung:"they are gone, aren't they?"

A tear slid down his cheeks being unable to control it where he quickly wiped it away with his shoulders and looked at Jisung with a shining eye along with a small grin.

Minho:"yeah...but spending time with you sometimes makes me forget about the past...that's why you are so special"

Minho closed his right eye with a smile, thankful to the destiny that brought Jisung to him. His thoughts were interrupted by another forehead colliding his and when he opened his right eye again, Jisung was already brushing his nose against his pointy one, jisung followed Minho's action by opening his eyes as well and both started looking at each other for eye contact and Minho swear that his cheeks are getting more hotter than the usual and his unsteady heartbeats were being pain in the ass.

His soulmate has so much effect on him to be feeling like this.

Jisung:"you're special to me too, my soulmate"
