Jisung hugged himself as he walked further into the mystery depths of the forest, his eyes were full of tears thinking of the betrayal he received from his soulmate. To go against his words, breaking their promise and acting selfish into returning him back to life.

The demi-fae thought that he should be thankful to his soulmate for giving him infinite time, now they have to spend more time with each other.

He really should be happy but it hurts. His soulmate that he always loves and trusts can't but be angry at him and his selfish actions. Just like minho sacrificing himself for the forest, just like minho being obedient to the queen to save him, just like minho doing stuff behind his back to revive him.

Jisung knows that his soulmate is doing all that because he loves him but he's scared... Scared that their relationship won't be like it was in the past.

"poor you, crying over love...how pathetic" heard a voice that echoes in his mind, didn't sound like an outsider voice since nobody was allowed to set foot into the forest.

"who said that?!" jisung said looking left and right but he wasn't able to see anything that could be supernatural.

Maybe he was hearing things.

"I'm right down here" Jisung looked down at the ground but wasn't able to see anything but then, the water of the lake was only a few inches away from him so he crawled forward until his he could see his reflection.

The wrong thing that is happening is jisung's reflection didn't belong to him.

"hello jisung" with a wicked smile said the reflection, they share the same face features from lips that are purely red to his fangs popping out from his mouth. Silver hair just like Minho's and more Les tan skin than his.

It was his reflection but in a different version.

"who are you?" Jisung asked, afraid about him looking like that now after being turned into a vampire so he quickly pulled some of his hair just to find it in the color black and that resulted in him sighing in relief.

"isn't it obvious? I'm you" the reflection said with a smirk still hanging over his lips yet jisung didn't believe what he said so he looked at the water with daring eyes, unable to believe this was him.

"you can't be me! I won't be fooled!! now tell me your identity!!!!"

"you're no fun, very well...I'm called hollow aphorism nefarious, han in short"

Jisung knitted his eyebrows confused after his reflection introduced himself "a faerie? And what's your deal? Why are you inside my body?" he asked with red eyes while clutching the fabric of his top but han never seemed to be scared of his expression since that smile didn't leave his lips.

"Ask your vampire soulmate, I woke up in your body because of him" han answered sincerely and that gives more than just an explanation to jisung. Of course this was minho's doing after he woke up from death again, he never expected for his life to be the same.

"Can I get rid of you?" jisung asked but han didn't take much time of thinking before answering him without hesitation "eventually you will, but I'm not going anytime soon and you should thank your soulmate, without him you wouldn't be alive"

As jisung wanted to not think about his soulmate's betrayal but this was the truth and he's alive because of him but a heavy feeling he held inside him still not in the situation to forgive Minho of what he did behind his back "i didn't want any of this, I can't face him after what he did" jisung said with almost crying.

"you shouldn't worry too much...how about I replace you while you have time to rest" han said with a smirk gaining the demi-fae's attention, it has been 200 years since he last felt alive and he knows very well why he woke up inside jisung precisely.

It was meant to be, ever since that day.

"how can I believe you're not doing this to steal my body" even if he looks careless but jisung was more serious than trusting a random reflection telling him that they were the same person.

Han felt offended, he used to get accused so many times in his past life but this was the first time he has no bad intentions.

"hey!! I used to be wicked but i have morals you know and I'm not a homewrecker besides, I can't possess your body even if I want to" han reassured for jisung to feel slightly relived, he knows when anyone says the truth do he decided to believe him but he still have his doubts.

"what would happen to me if i gave you what you want?"

Han looked at his alternative version of him as he sighed.

"you surely do ask so many questions... but fine we're exchanging mindsets, your senses will belong to me while you are unconscious but don't worry, whatever I do will be traced in your memory so you'll be able to remember everything" when he explained in very detailed sentence, that when jisung had faith han can't took over him after he offers his body to him.

"sounds fair"

Minho was staying in the reading area having a book in his hands but his eyes stared at the air zoning out from reading anything. Since jisung left him this morning and all has been feeling but worried, he knows what he did wrong but it is all right to him.

His ears twitch at the sound coming from the front door, so he stands up and looks at his soulmate going past that door and stands there with unfazed expression. Something was weird

"jisung?" Minho called, unsure if this the person who was standing in front of him was his clover.

"I'm not jisung, he took the day off saying he doesn't want to see your face" han said eyeing Minho from up right towards the bottom. The face, the shoulders, the waist, the legs... Han clutches his fist up in seeing jisung's soulmate where he averted his eyes going right directly to the kitchen in front.

Minho wasn't satisfied by that answer as he was greedy of more knowledge about the kind of power that possesses jisung's body.

"and you are?" he asked him from behind the table as han looked through the cabinets searching for any type of blood to shut his throat thirst, he can't drink minho's even if it has a strong smell.

He promised jisung to not touch a single hair of the vampire.

"call me han, I actually wanted to meet you and it seems you're not ugly as I expected" he poured the blood in to a glass and start drinking it in a fancy way while Minho pulled his guard up felling ready to attack at any false movement that can be made by the other "you're not an enemy, aren't you? You won't possess my soulmate's body, won't you?" he asked for han to shake his head while putting the empty glass on the table.

"relax, I did a lot of bad things in the past...this might be my chance to correct them" things became more complicated the moment han said those words.

"bad things? The past?" Minho was confused again and it made the ancient soul chuckle on how both soulmates share the same greed of knowledge.

Jisung was a bit easy to fool since he sounds like he would be a careless action, but the one who keeps his soulmate's soul inside him was more clever, cautious and ready to fight at any time.

No... Minho was ready to kill if it meant saving jisung. Han thought that was cute.

"I'm someone who lives 200 years ago" he crossed his arms tell nothing but the truth, since lying wasn't fun at all to him.

Besides being in the vampire army as a healer and a lab scientist, Minho loves to read about history and still until now, the only one era that gives him all sorts of unanswered questions and that is: "during the legacy war?" he had his right eye as wide as possible while watching Han nods his head.

"that's correct, but I was the bad guy and was defeated in shame by my own soulmate" han took quick glances at minho's face from afar thinking about how he was a copy paste of his soulmate and the reason was because of their souls being reincarnated again.

Inside jisung's and minho's bodies.

"wait, I read about this somewhere, you two were from different races and your superiors weren't glad of the idea of you being together since it was a sin" he doesn't quite remember the exact details of every solider that joined the war but he was aware that the most grand yet tragic battle was between two soulmates who all wished is to stop fighting against each other.

"that's correct, i was a faerie and he was a vamp-elf and we were forbidden to see each other by the idea of the powers we hold together so we end up fighting" han said clutching into his arms as he deeply put his red eyes on Minho. He knows this life doesn't belong to him, this isn't his body, this isn't his house and Minho wasn't his soulmate.

He just happened to wake up after a while and he won't be staying for long since jisung's bodt was already starting to reject his source of existence.

"if you were a faerie then how come you were summoned when I turned jisung's human side into a vampire?" that something Minho wanted han to answer since he had no idea how a Faerie spirit showed up after turning jisung's human side into a vampire.

"after the war, my soulmate tried to turn me into a vampire but he failed so he sacrificed himself so I could live instead of him but he didn't know that I didn't wake up and both of us died in misery"

"I don't understand" despite being smart but Minho was able to catch on what han had to say that consisted of the awakening.

What does his death have to do with them? Is there something related to it?

"a faerie and a vampire were never meant to be with each other since the beginning but you fought that destiny that me and my soulmate failed to achieve which is way I woke up in your soulmate's body" han explained again, he watched Minho staring at nothing for few moments before turning to him with a face that says he get it all.

But was it possible? Even if this was the only conclusion the vampire has, wasn't it unbelievable?

"so you think...I'm a reincarnation of your soulmate?" he wasn't sure of his answer which was spelled out in the firm of a question, confused if what he figured out was true.

Han only nodded at him "you're correct and the same goes for jisung being my reincarnation"

To put it simply, Minho couldn't believe such things existed. If him and jisung had to follow the same fate as their past lives which means...

Both will get a sad ending.

"are we going to fight like you guys did?"

Han didn't want to seem jealous since Minho and Jisung live a different lifestyle than how he used to live with his soulmate.

These two will do better than them.

"it depends on what, why and who you'll be fighting for... I doubt you both will and you shouldn't worry too much about your soulmate, he will come around eventually"

Minho nodded his head as he watches Han get up from the chair and walk towards jisung's room. He get sad upon knowing that his soulmate didn't want to see him but at the same time, he feels like get deserve it

.

.

Han closed the door behind him and looked across the room, so many unfamiliar memories flash across his eyes, from playing the piano to over sleeping on the sofa. Han saw in jisung memories how he was free and dependent and wasn't following any orders with doing what he wanted.

The demi-fae was living the life Han always wanted.

He didn't let those things distracted him from coming here, so when he spotted a human sized mirror in the corner besides the sewing machine, one of jisung's memories flashed showing him how he use it to try on the clothes he sew or make- Han walked closely to the mirror and hold it sides with both hands.

He wanted to summon the demi-fae to talk just like he did in the lake, he planted his desire to meet his reincarnated slef out from his curiosity last time but this time, it was a demand.

His reflection started to change, he was able to recognize the silver hair and pale skin but when eyes were open, hetechroma orbs met his. Jisung was confused at the connection call and it was in the presence of his room.

Since when did han arrived at his house?

"how are you able to wake me up from my unconscious state?" luckily, jisung was able to remember what han did while he was asleep and that gives him a relieved feeling that han didn't lie to him at the lake.

"i will explain that later but more importantly, you should consider forgiving Minho" han told him but jisung found it hard to understand.

He didn't figure out how himself from his past life used to think.

"huh? Weren't you the one who wanted to take my place!! What changed your mind?" jisung spat demanding an answer, He can't believe the mood swings the other has and it irritates him.

Han is the only way jisung has to be able to spend some time away from Minho.

He wondered what changed his mind.

"that was before I saw him"

And his answer was the least he expected.

"I never know you were the kind of person who judges a person based on their looks" jisung can't believe Han was refusing to give him more time just because Minho's appearance was what matters to him.

Han shook his head "it's not hat, it's just..."

Jisung saw how weirdly his acting was and he was convinced by his facial expression and wanted him to say more words rather than staying silent "then give me a solid reason why can't you do it anymore"

Han knitted his eyebrows together with shutting his eyes out of despair as he gritted his teeth, jisung needs to know his raison.

"because I'm afraid I will make a move on him" jisung's irritated expression faded out as he became silent. Han felt regrets over his facials and eyes didn't look confident or wicked like he met him the first time. His past self looked sacred in front of him and most of all, worried.

"Han, you are..."

"i see my soulmate in him damn it!! i can't help it when they look exactly the same...the same eyes, same lips, same birthmarks, same hands, same hight...everything is the same" han lost control of his emotions and lashed out on Jisung who seemed surprised of his change of personality, jisung tried to put himself in han's shoes but he doesn't know what he have been through to begin with.

He wanted to say something to comfort the other but the call seems to start disappearing after a few moments and jisung went into his unconscious self afterwards.

While shaking, Han looked at his reflection and felt disgust of his own self.

Manipulative, untrustworthy and mean... That's how he used to be in the past but his soulmate was the only person who was able to see through his facade.

He missed him.

"Jisung?" han was snapped out from his thoughts at the call of a familiar name and looked behind him to see an orange fairy flying towards him. With the help of those memories he was able to recognize her as Remy.

"you must be the fairy that accompanies jisung ever since he was little" Remy nodded and leaned into the mirror.

She looked at the face where there's no difference. The shin didn't stay pale or the fangs didn't stay for long- which means his fairy gens were dominating the vampire gens from appearing that resulted in no change of his appearance.

He's still the jisung from outside but on the inside... She knows there's going to be side effects to awaken.

"minho told me about you...hollow aphorism nefarious right?" she questioned, Minho told her about han being jisung's ancient version who lived in his past life and he appears because the spirit thought that energy that was waking him up was none other then his soulmate who was an ancient version of Minho too.

And he doesn't seem like he have hidden motives.

"just call me han, and how's Minho? Is he still sad his soulmate is refusing to talk to him?" han didn't know why but he's concerned and curious about these two and he wanted to see with his own eyes how precious those two were to each other.

"I don't know if this concerns you but Minho knows beforehand that jisung would get mad at him, he's responsible for his actions and won't force him to forgive him" she explains with him nodding.

"I see"

"Minho sent me here to ask you if you would like to go with him for a hunt? we ran out of supplies" han looked at her with hopefull eyes, he will be taking this as an opportunity to create some sort of friendship with the vampire and get to know him and jisung better.

"sure, I'll change and meet him out of the house"
