“Why is she here?” Eunha asked while pointing at Sinb who was sitting beside me

Eunha had invited me for a coffee for the reason that she had been meaning to tell me ever since she came her in human form. Which probably has something to do with my relationship with Sinb

She had been nagging and warning me nonstop like a parent who doesn’t like the person whom her daughter loves. An antagonist mother to be specific

I turned my head towards Sinb who had a poker face, unable to be read if she was annoyed or offended by what Eunha had said, moreover, how she asked the question

“Am I banned from coming together with Sojung?” Sinb said with one of her brows raised and I could feel her aura tensing up and the air getting thicker and thicker as the have a staring contest.

I only could pray that Eunha would not answer something that could further trigger Sinb but the odds were against me because Eunha just said said something that somehow ticked off the mortal

Eunha leaned on the table with a smirk forming on her lips and spoke with a taunting tone “Why? Afraid that I might steal your beloved girlfriend from you?”

Sinb had both of her hands tightly clenched on the top of her laps, fortunately Eunha couldn’t see that Sinb was trying to suppress her anger or did she see through her?

Eunha had been the type to be the mysterious one among us. Nobody could read what’s on her mind except for my sister whom she worked with for a few times while me? I still can’t read her despite of the fact that I had grown up with her since day one

She was the type to have a mask on her, the type that you wouldn’t be able to be seen right through it that sometimes... I have thought that was it me who’s just dumb that I couldn’t see through her but my sister does? Or was it just because Umji is just too intelligent to be able to take off the mask Eunha has been wearing?

I came back to reality when Sinb had finally spoken and I felt the surrounding getting denser and denser as time goes by “Why would I be afraid? She’s mine after all”

But upon hearing the last part, I felt my face heating up due to embarrassment but I shook my head to remove the embarrassment

Eunha leaned on her seat and ran her fingers through her hair then look at her fingernails as she answer “Just simply”—she averted her eyes towards Sinb and continued with a smirk—“Because I know her more than you do”

They once again had a staring contest but  to avoid them to really fight, held Sinb’s hand and cleared my throat “Stop playing, Eunha”

But I didn’t say that off in a mean manner but in a teasing manner because I know Eunha was kidding about what she had said.

Eunha’s deadly stare turned into a smile and chuckled “Okay. I’ll stop”—She looked at the mortal with a smile—“Don’t worry, I won’t steal this giraffe from you. Even if she’s the only person alive, I still won’t choose her”

Sinb’ didn’t give off any reaction but just stared, her clenched fists slowly opened and by that, it means that she was cooling off already by what Eunha had said

“Why is it that you called me?” I asked as I take a sip on the iced americano that I had ordered

“Is it wrong that I just want to spend time with my friend whom I haven’t met for decades?”

“Not really? I guess” Was what I said when I clearly knew that, that wasn’t the real reason behind this

She smiled at the both of us before slicing a piece on her cake and eating it. As she munch over the cake, I again heard her voice inside my head

“Meet me in the rooftop this midnight”

“Why? My precious sleep would be broken if I do that” I said whiningly which made a small curve on her lips

“Stop whining. It doesn’t suit you”—She teased making me glare at her—“Sinb might see you glaring at me, idiot”

I immediately softened my expression and looked at Sinb who was happily eating her black forest cake

“Well, it would be okay if you don’t attend. It’ll be your loss anyway”

“Loss for?” I asked with uncertainty visible with the way how I delievered it towared her

“Loss for the information that I would give out to you about the consequences”

Then she cut of our communication inside our head and turned her head towards Sinb and asked “So, how’s Sojung as a lover?” Which made the both of me and Sinb get taken aback by the sudden question about our relationship

“We haven’t really gone out for dates yet. We just mostly hang out in the dorm so I can’t answer your question yet”

“Hmm... doing something in your dorm that usually couples do?” I choked and spitted out the coffee inside my mouth due to the bold question that she had asked

“I’m just kidding, no need for that kind of reaction” Eunha said with a chuckle

“Well, since Sinb’s here... mind teaching me about physics and algebra? I can’t catch up in the lessons because I’m weak in those fields” She winked and opened her bag to bring out her notebook and a pen

Both of them started doing their own business and while me? I couldn’t help but adore Sinb’s gorgeous side profile, her hair tucked on her ear, her dark brown orbs that shine like diamonds, her sharp nose and jaw, and her captivating and seductive lips that never fails to allure me

What does it taste like if I capture it once again? Would it taste like how it tasted the first time I’ve kissed her? Or would it be more deli— Wait... why am I think such an inappropriate thing? Erase that weird though of yours, Kim Sojung.

I shook my head and hastily turned my head away from Sinb making her look at me with confusion and ask “What’s wrong?”

With my face heating and reddening up, I was only able to shake my hand to imply that there was nothing wrong but then again, Eunha took the chance to embarrass me more

“She’s probably just flustered because she fantasized you in her dirty mind of hers when she was observing you while teaching me”—She paused for a moment and I could feel her stare turning into me and I could imagine her having a playful smirk—“Isn’t that right, Sojung?”

I looked at Eunha with my eyes wide open and was right about her about her smirking. She shrugged then pointed at Sinb using her eyes, I followed it and saw Sinb having a shocked expression. Her eyes darting everywhere the room as she blinked as fast as she could with her cheeks turning into bright red

“I-I-I wasn’t fantasizing of her!” I involuntary shouted making the other customers turn their head towards us. I bowed as I apologize for a few times

I wanted to very much sink down and disappear from where I am due to how embarrassing I acted. Now I assume my beloved Sinb, thinks I’m a ert because of Eunha—well although I have fantasized on kissing Sinb while I was looking at her lips... that doesn’t mean I’m a ert... am I?

I heard the chair across us screech and saw Eunha picking up her things, she turned her head towards us and flashed a smile—a mocking and playful smile which I hated

“Well, it appears that I have to go now”—She lifted her wrist and looked at the time at her watch—“Because I have a date to catch. Hope you two lovebirds... have fun together. Although I think you two will have an awkward time as I observe from how you act in the moment”

I glared at her and mouthed “What are you doing? Fix this first”

Knowing how stubborn Eunha can be, she just winked at me and left us like that

Good thing Sinb wasn’t the type of person who would avoid me forever when something embarrassing came up—But she did avoid me for a few hours and I had to please and plead for her to believe that I wasn’t having dirty thoughts about her

The line which made her talk to me, the one that never fails is the seductive and way of speaking

“Why would I fantasize you when I know I could just do it with you? Like for real”

Her reaction towards that was more priceless than the last time I did something like that. She was trying to say something but wasn’t letting her to talk but instead she was stuttering with letters. She ended up aggressively lying on her bed and covered her whole body

“Why is Kim Sojung so.... ugh!” She said that out loud inside her cover making me laugh like there’s no tomorrow and tears even came out

I recovered faster than I expected, and once I did... I threw my body beside her and hugged her tight, making her squeal in surprise and said “But too bad that you can’t hate me because of that”

She turned her body to face me and lowered down her blanket, had a cute smile on her face “Yeah. You should be thankful that I love you because if not... I would probably have thrown out your things and kicked you out of this dorm”

==============================================

During that night, I wasn’t able to sleep because of what Eunha had said at the cafe this morning.

Something about an information about the consequences?

I wasn’t sure if she was bluffing or not and that’s what makes me uneasy about it.

I looked at Sinb who was sleeping peacefully and I couldn’t help but think of the time when it would come... The time that fate would separate us for I am a cupid and she is a human

I hate the fact that the odds are against mythical creatures and humans have an intimate relationship

Yes, I’ve heard about the reaper who once loved a human but suddenly disappeared without any trace

But that, indeed... I wasn’t sure to if that is a fact or only something to scare us from loving a human. I wasn’t born yet when that occurred and I am starting to doubt that story if it true or merely a legend

I grabbed my phone beside my pillow and checked the time. It was 12:03 in the midnight and I shoot up from my bed after seeing it.

I didn’t change my pajamas but just grabbed a coat to cover me up from the coldness outside. I silently went out so that Sinb wouldn’t wake up from her sleep

Upon opening the door of the rooftop, I saw Eunha sitting at the edge of the place while swaying her feet in mid air

“You do know that you might hurt yourself if you act recklessly in where you’re sitting” I said as I walk closer towards Eunha

“I wouldn’t die anyways. We’re immortal”— She said as she turn her head towards me and laughed as soon as she saw me—“Talk about being a fashion queen, Cupid”

I roll my eyes and scoffed “It’s midnight, what do you expect me to wear?”

“I was kidding”

“I know. I also was”

Eunha then turned her body around to face my direction and asked “How’s the life of being a mortal?”

“Don’t ask me that. I’m not a mortal even though people see me or us”—I looked up at the night sky—“We just look like one but we’re nothing but the servants of the other world”

“Why choose the word servants? If I may ask”

“Simple. We don’t have the freedom that we want—that I want”

“Are you referring about loving a mortal?” I simple nodded and exhaled

“It’s hard you know. Acting like nothing bad would happen, in front of Sinb. Like we weren’t gonna be separated in the most unexpected time”

“You really love her don’t you?”

“I guess—No, I love her to the point that I would do anything just so I could stay with her”

I could feel the tears running through my eyes but to stop it, I blinked as fast as I could and laughed bitterly

“If only I knew how to be able to stay with her and live a happy life”

Eunha stared for me for a while, her eyes were sympathizing me and the more I could feel it, the more I hated the fact that I was not born as a human

“But what if there wasn’t a way for a mortal and an immortal to be happy?” She said catching my attention

“W-what do you mean?” 

She hopped off the edge of the rooftop and now in front of me, staring at me and reading my mind like she used to in the past

“What if one of you had to die or sacrifice in order to save the other?” I frowned and my heart beat went fast due to my anxiety. I wasn’t saying anything due to how confused and anxious I was on what she had said

“Kyung told me about what happened with the reaper and the mortal” She said as she scratch the back of her head. She only that does that when she’s worried about something, if she would say it or not

“What did he say” I said trying not to sound panicking. Her gaze to me and I could see her hesitating by which her eyes were quivering

“Say it” I repeated and she sighed

“The thing is... the reaper sacrificed herself to be able to let the mortal live”

“What do you mean by that? Let the mortal live?”

“Well... it was said that the mortal was slowly losing energy and her soul for when she falls deeper towards the reaper. And if the reaper didn’t make the sacrifice... the mortal’s soul will go to the realm of lost souls and mortals are usually reincarnated after a century or a few but in the case of that mortal... she wouldn’t be able to go back as a human but instead roam around as a lost soul with no memory of anything or anyone”

The thought of that occurring to both me and Sinb suddenly made my stomach act up and swirl as I vision of that scenario... The sudden though of what if Sinb’s life would be in danger because of me? Because of our forbidden love which she doesn’t have any idea that it is forbidden

“But... what if that only applies to reapers?”

“No. I’m afraid not. It applies to every each one of us. Being a lost soul with no memory of such is a big case you know?”—She looked in the ground and kicked something before turning her gaze on to me once again—“Would you still keep on loving her if that would be the consequences of your forbidden love?”

The question caught me off guard and I only could stare at her and have my mouth shut. She leaned closer and tapped my shoulder as she say “Well, the decision’s up to you. My beloved Cupid”

She turned and walked towards the door but I soon stopped her when I said “What if... Just what if... it doesn’t happen between us? What the consequences doesn’t happen nor affect us?”

Eunha slowly turned around to face me and gave a faint smile “That could be. That couldn’t be. You can take a risk”—She paused for a while before continuing—“But everything has consequences, either bad or good, remember that”

She was about to turn around but stopped to say “Well, the decision is yours to make. Decide now before the crisis starts and before it’s too late”

==============================================

Author’s Note: Revelation. Revelation. Revelation... Well not a really big one... but hey, still a revelation haha. Do you think that consequences would also happen towards Cupid and Sinb? Or some miracle would happen and it wouldn’t apply towards them? What do you think? Haha
