Maybe... maybe he didn't know much more than I did, but he still knew about it longer and could've at least try to help. I didn't even get this privilege and feeling of being left out quickly overgrown my mind alike wild thistles.

Both of my younger lovers knew about what's happening... and the whole trio agreed to leave it out of me... including this fairy able to see beyond the material world.

Losing control over my own body, I saw myself attacking Taehyun. His big surprised eyes disappeared under the blanket, which was supposed to immobilize him... just like my body above his. The electrifying power in my arms felt no more familiar to me.

How could you still believe him? He should be vanished too... He allowed this situation, after all... manipulated you all. Choke the knowledge in his throat, so he can keep it to his grave!

Push harder! Choke him!

Let him disappear!

Kill him!

Beomgyu, these are not yours! Taehyun's voice reached my soul. 

You see? Just like you thought - he tries to control you. Shut him up! 

"It's your fault... you just left me out..." 

Even though my forearm kept on pressing on covered neck and my body fully stuck on that overwhelming emotion of betrayal, I saw tears running down my cheeks, when Taehyun freed his arms to try to shake off mine, fighting for his life. 

I watched myself killing him...

Maybe... maybe it is my fault, but I was protecting you and I know that deep down you understand and- 

"- and I would be the same? You both keep on talking the same nonsense!" 

Just a little bit more! - the spirit continuously fed the growing shadow and my mind with bitter words. He must die next!

... but I still loved him so much and for the second time that day I felt like a piece of me is dying in excruciating pain.

Please, Tae... I clenched my jaw trying to regain control of my hands, but it only caused thorns growing out of their skin. It was like a virus was playing with my nerve cells. The more I resisted, the stronger the pressure on Tae's neck. Help me. 

I will drive it out! Just let me in! 

But how?! 

Feeling like I'm turning into a monster, I bit my lips, closed my eyes and looked up at the heavy dark clouds. I could perceive their intense rage.

Suddenly a sky-blue lightning cut through them resembling a sword.

Just like you accepted the grief and anger... now accept my will... strengthen your love for me...

Another flesh turned the darkness into a redeeming indigo of Taehyun's care.

... and I'll purify your mind.

Does he mean "trick your mind"? - it thundered and I covered my ears, crouching down.

Trick it? No... Taehyun knew so many secrets of the universe, but he would barely use them for a malicious purpose. I shouldn't have forgotten that.

I am sorry, Tae...

The sincere apology slightly opened up my aching heart... a whole web of light-blue lightning appeared in the sky. I heard them whisper. There was no word I could recognize, but just like it was a dream... I could understand it and feel the soothing warmth of Taehyun's voice that was relieving me.

It was no longer my fight.

I'm so sorry...

My body flinched. I took a breath and suddenly I could sense gentle movements on my ear. I found myself lying next to Taehyun... his calming chant and strong proximity made me hug him tight. It's okay... 

I felt much better now... like a breeze cleared my head, but that meant-

Carefully grabbing his chin, I made Taehyun look at me. He didn't resist and I noticed red drops in the corners of his cloudy eyes and on his lips. I swallowed the gasp.

"I didn't want you to be ruined because of me. That's exactly what I didn't want. I'm really sorry, Taehyunie. I-"

"You love me... and I would do it again, because I love you, too. Everything's okay, nothing really happened."

He wiped his lips with his finger, looking straight into my eyes, and even though I had no clue why... I easily believed him as if the clouds in his irises hid all of my guilt.

I hesitated first, but then I released my magic and raised my hand to heal Taehyun's wounds and eyes. The shimmering green mist seeped into the damaged areas. 

Although the blood drops remained, Taehyun's physical pain was gone... 

... and I felt a subtle smile in the nook of his mouth, saying - thank you.

Tae and Gyu healed each other, finding out that this situation is rly hard for everyone. But concealment begets more concealment and now we'll see, how will these fairies deal with their growing problem... coz Tae has actually already figured something out, chichi.
