I was inside the bathroom, currently drying my hair after taking a shower. "Bear, are you done?" I heard Irene's voice from the outside. I smiled. "Yes, I'm just drying my hair, be out in a minute!" I shouted. I went back to my doings and after I was done, I put the hairdryer back in its proper place before exiting the bathroom. A smile formed in my lips as I saw Irene sitting on the foot of my bed, busy with her phone. She was wearing a grey trench coat with black leggings with a scarf wrapped around her neck and black boots for footwear, her hair was tied into a messy bun and she was wearing this round black glasses making her look cute. Whipped. While I wore a black turtle neck with a navy blue winter coat on top then denim pants and blue sneakers, I let my hair loose for today since I'm lazy to tie it. I approached her and stood in front of her, I waited for her to notice my presence and it didn't took long enough. She looked up from her phone and smiled at me. "Let's go, bear. We are going to be late for your surgery!" She stood up and held my hand. I was looking at our intertwined hands as she dragged me out of my room, a smile unconsciously appeared. Ever since I let her move in here, we became much more closer than before. Yes, we still have a couple of fights and arguements here and there. But we became best friends now, even though she's only here for one week, our relationship progression went better. I opened up to her and she did the same, we shared each other's problems and secrets. Trust her, she's not the type of person who talks behind people's back. And for 1 week, both of us didn't go to school since I need to rest like what Dr. Kim said and she took care of me like what she promised. At first, I felt like a burden to her. She's the student council president, of course she has a lot of things to do so I felt like I'm being a bother to her. But she reassured me and said that it was fine, I believe her. We reached down stairs and saw a lot of food dined in the table. I saw Krystal there as well, she's already eating. She didn't even wait for us, rude. Her relationship with Irene got better now. I know that she was only concerned for me that's why she acted like that in the beginning. I couldn't blame her, I was scared as well. Krystal knows what happened to me, and she knows how wrecked I was. I don't want to go through the same pain I felt 5 years ago. But what could we do? I already fell again for someone who I know likes somebody else. Worst of all, taken. I'm not sure if this is mere admiration or intimate romance. But I know my heart is beating fast whenever I see her, whenever she smiles at me, whenever she makes physical contact with me. Like now... "Good Morning, Irene and Won!" Krystal greeted with a smile. Her gaze went to our intertwined hands, making me blush. "I see...It's only morning but you two are too sweet already. I might have diabetes because of you two" She said with a teasing smirk. I was about to let go when Irene held my hand tighter then giving it a soft squeeze afterwards; Making me turn red even more. "Am I seeing this?! Kang RoWoon? Blushing?! Haha, oh my gash, Won! You're red!" Krystal pointed a finger at me while laughing. I widen my eyes, am I really red?! "Y-Ya! J-Jung S-Soojung, 당신이 무슨 말을하는거야?! I-I'm not blushing!!" I said in a defensive way. *Translation: What are you talking about?!* I heard Irene let out a soft giggle, making me pout. "Even you, bunny?"  "Well, Krystal is right. You are really blushing, is it because of me?" Irene asked with a teasing smile. I widened my eyes. Are they teaming up against me?! "W-What?! 오늘 너희 둘은 뭐가 잘못 됐니?! I am not blushing, I repeat, I am NOT blushing" I said. *Traslation: What's wrong with you two today?!* "오케이, 친애하는 사촌. You don't have to get defensive and all..." Krystal said then continued eating. *Traslation: Okay, Dear cousin* Irene and I sat beside each other, Krystal in front of us. Irene put some food in my plate and I thanked her afterwards which she returned with a smile. We started eating peacefully when Krystal spoke. "You're having your surgery today, right?" She asked, her eyes glued on her phone. I gulped down the food I was chewing before answering. "Yeah, are you tagging along?" I asked then taking another bite my waffles. She shook her head, "Sorry, Won. I have a date with Amber. But I'll visit you after our date, I could tag Amber along" She said. "Just visit me, I'll be expecting you" I said and she nodded. She stood up and took her things, "I need to go now, take care of my cousin for me, Irene. Bye!!" She bid her goodbye to us with a smile, we just nodded at her and she took off. Irene and I started eating again, not long after we finished. "I'll wash the dishes..." I said and I stood up from my chair but she grabbed my wrist. I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "No you won't, stay in the living room and I will be the one to wash the dishes. You need to rest since it is your surgery today" She said but I was stubborn. "It's fine, bunny. I can manage" I said with a reassuring smile. "Please..." She said while pouting. Cute. Sigh. "Fine, you win. You're too cute that's why" I pinched her cheeks softly. "I will be in the living room if you need me" I added with a smile. She nodded and I took my leave, I plopped myself on the couch and crossed my legs. I saw some magazines and took it then read it. I was in the middle of reading the magazine when I heard someone spoke. "Reincarnation!" I looked at my side where the kitchen was and saw Irene's back. All of my hair stood up and a shiver went down my spine. ! I put down the magazine and saw SeulGi. She was standing in front of me with her usual appearance. I widened my eyes, why did she appear?! "What are you doing here?!" I whispered to her with widened eyes. She pouted, "What a great welcome I have there, my dear reincarnation" She sadly said and I sighed. What does she want this time?! The image of the burning house came into my mind. "Tell me, SeulGi. Is it true that your parents died from a house fire?" I asked her. "Yes, My adoptive mother, Lady Servant MiYoung said that to me. The King ordered to burn our house and I still do not have any idea why he decided to" She said. Does she know that her cousin is JooHyun? I don't know if what I dreamt about is true, not sure rather. "Why did you ask out of the blue, reincarnation?" I just told her it was nothing. "Your father is Bae JeongSin, right? And your mother is Kang Hayoung?" I saw her nod. I'm sure now. "How did you know my parents name, reincarnation? I never mentioned them to you before. Or are you perhaps hiding something from me?" She asked with an eyebrow raised. Should I tell her?? I should, she has the right to know anyways. When I was about to speak again, I heard Irene call me. "RoWoon, let's--Oh, who is she?" I looked at Irene who was beside me already. Her gaze was on SeulGi... She can see her?! "JooHyun?!" SeulGi had her own eyes wide open as she saw Irene. "Wait! You can see her?!" I asked confused while looking at Irene and pointing my finger at SeulGi. "Yes, why?" She asked, she looks even more confused than I was. "Is that you, JooHyun?" My head shot back to SeulGi who was on the verge of crying. Then another person appeared beside her, Princess JooHyun. "Where did she come from?!" Irene asked with shock while pointing at the new arrived person. Wait, hold up! I stood up and went beside Irene, she was facing SeulGi while I was facing JooHyun. "SeulGi, is that you?!" JooHyun askes while taking a step closer to me. I took a step back but she kept walking closer. "I'm not SeulGi, JooHyun" I finally said, making her stop. "W-What?" JooHyun asked with glistening eyes. I sighed. "I'm not SeulGi, she's right there beside you" I said which made her look at her side. "I saw them in my dreams..." I heard Irene mumble. I looked at her and she was looking at me as well. "W-Why do we look like them, bear?" She asked and I sighed. "Where is she?" My head shot back to JooHyun who was confused but still was looking around the house. "She's right there beside you" I said and she looked at her side once again. "She is not here" She said which made me shock. SeulGi was right in front of JooHyun, they were only inches apart. "Is JooHyun here?" I heard SeulGi ask and I nodded at her. "Why can't she see you?" I asked her and she sighed. The look on her eyes seemed so sad like she was longing for someone. "As I said, reincarnation. I can not see her for this is destined, we need the curse to be broken for us to see each other again" SeulGi said with a sad smile. I remember now, she told me that when she told me their whole story. Like 1000 years of not seeing your loved one, hell that's torture. "Why can't you see each other? And why do we look like you two?" I heard Irene ask. I know she was confused, she doesn't have any idea about any of this. "We are the two realms. The peace and the chaos. The good and the evil. You can answer that second question by yourself, the answer is there, you just need to remember it" SeulGi said before vanishing like dust. Princess JooHyun followed after. Irene and I both looked at each other. If she can see them too and she looks like Princess JooHyun then... Can she be the other reincarnation? °°° We reached the hospital after Irene driving for 15 minutes. We didn't talk about what happened earlier this morning and we didn't bring it up again. I don't know if I have the right to tell her what I know. SeulGi said she already have the answer, she just have to remember what it was. Maybe she also have some dreams about, because she mentioned earlier she saw the two in her dreams. Aish!!! Just a little bit more, just a bit more and I will believe what I thought this morning. We entered the hospital and went to the receptionist. "Dr. Kim Taehyung" Irene said to the receptionist. I stayed beside her and kept mum, I just let her talk for me. Another reason, what happened this morning is still bugging me. "Room 25, 6th floor" I saw Irene nodded and say a thank you to the receptionist. We both entered the elevator and she pressed the 6th floor button. I had my eyes on the monitor above the  buttons on the elevator. "Um...RoWoon" I turned my head to the girl in front of me. She was looking at the floor and looking at her reflection on the shiny black marble floor. "Yes?" I asked while looking at her side profile. Her side profile is insane. Her sharp jawline, her long eyelashes, her high pointed nose and her small lips. Her beauty really stands out everytime for me. It was like she gets more beautiful each day, like her beauty is fresh and new every single day. I will never get tired of seeing this beautiful face of hers. #Whipped. Before she could even answer, the elevator dinged and the door opened. I held out my hand and she accepted it, we walked to Dr. Kim's office hand in hand. Irene knocked on the door and her secretary greeted us. "Ah, Ms. Kang. Please do come in, Dr. Kim is expecting you already" Her secretary greeted us with a smile. We nodded and she opened the door for us to enter. She led us to his office and there I saw Dr. Kim, busy doing some papers. "Dr.
