Author's POV: 

"H-Hello.." You said bowing a little as he looked at you, admiring your features. 
"Well, you live in Unit 703 right?" He asked as you nodded saying, "Yes, the one besides yours." 
'How did I run into him again? That's a weird coincidence..' You thought to yourself and looked at the elevator coming down. 
"I wonder if everything is coincidence or fate?" He suddenly asked making you look at him confused. Smiling, he looked at you and said, "I'm just curious. Why do we meet so often? Is it simply coincidence?" 

"P-Probably..?" You asked, hesitantly as he smiled nodding and said, "Of course, no way would fate be this long." 
"What do you m-" You were talking but stopped as the elevator door opened. He got in followed by you. As the elevator was going down, you didn't say anything. 
'Whatever, let's just leave it.' You thought to yourself and walked out of the elevator as he stared at your back with a soft smile. 

---In hades

"Your highness, she doesn't seem to remember anything. How will you make her remember?" A minister spoke as Taehyung smiled saying, "She does." 
Everyone in the court looked at him confused as he looked at the bracelet in his hands saying, "She remembers everything. She's just confused and unknown to the fact that everything she knows is true." 

"Then, your highness, you should hurry! You know what's awaiting us.." A minister spoke as Taehyung looked down saying, "I know." 
"Your highness, if you don't mind, may I ask a question?" One of the officials spoke as Taehyung nodded. He looked a little hesitant but said, "I apologize highly for daring to ask this question but... you can marry someone else, right? Why are you still chasing her?" 
Taehyung looked at the official and spoke, "She's the one who's destined to be my queen, your queen." 
"But your highness, a vampire can change mates if they don't aren't reborn within 350 years. In her case, it took her over 800 years to come back, which means you were able to change mates almost 500 years ago. Why did you wait that long?" Another one of them spoke as Taehyung smiled a little. 

"Promises are meant to be kept. And if wait comes along, I should do that too." He said. 
"We hope you'll be able to make her return." The minister who asked him the question spoke as he smiled. Everyone else agreed as they had some more discussion about the running of Hades. 

--Time skip

Taehyung sat on the luxurious sofa in his bedroom with a smile. He caressed the bracelet that he was wearing. 
A few flashbacks came to his mind as he remembered how confident he was when he told you that you would be the only destined Queen of Hades. 
"I am keeping my promise... love." He mumbled, looking at the bouquet of lilacs on that table. Closing his eyes, he rested his head on the sofa's pillow.

--A few days later

It was raining again. A dull cloudy morning and rain at the noon were regular these days.

You were dancing while hearing music when you got a call from your mom. After talking to her for a while, you realized that you had some rice cakes in the fridge. Based on what your mother and Yuri said, giving ricecakes to neighbours is the best way to interact with them. After all, neighbours have the most rights after the family.

You took out the packets of rice cakes and went to all the units on your floor distributing the ricecakes. As you were done, there was one last packet of rice cake left. You looked at the door beside yours and looked at the rice cake again. 
Soon, the familiar face appeared in front of you opening the door. He looked at you and smiled immediately saying, "Hello! How may I help?"

You noticed how happy and warm his eyes looked. It was as if he was waiting for this. Shrugging off any excess thoughts, you said, "Ah... you know, since I moved in recently, I am just giving some ricecakes and knowing my neighbours? You're the one who lives closest to me... hope we let along!" You smiled a little as he looked at you and the ricecakes taking them and saying, "Thank you.. I'll eat them well."

You smiled at him as he said, "Would you like to come in for some tea if you don't mind? Just wanting to get along well.."
You looked at him a little hesitantly wondering if you should or not.
'You should, Y/N!' An inner voice spoke as you sighed thinking again.
'Should I?'  You thought again as he smiled saying, "If you want..." He opened the way for you pointing his hands inside in a respectful way as you nodded smiling.
"Just for a little while then.." You mumbled as he smiled nodding. 

"Please sit here. What do you want to drink?" He asked as you said, "Didn't you just say tea?"
He chuckled and replied, "That's for formality. I have almost everything you'd want to drink."
"Then... maybe citrus tea?" You asked as he nodded saying, "Sure! You can take a look around if you want. Feel free."
"Thank you.." You spoke and looked around. The interior was very detailed and beautiful. You looked towards the kitchen where he was making the tea. You could see his face, focused on making the tea. You smiled a little mumbling, "He's so good looking.." But a frown appeared on your face hearing him chuckle.
'Why do I always feel like he can hear me?' You thought to yourself and sighed.

You were sitting there quietly wondering about random stuff when he came with a tray of two cups of tea. He served the tea and kept the tray aside sitting down.

"Thanks." You spoke and sipped the tea after blowing. It was good making you smile.
"It's good.." You said as he smiled saying, "My pleasure."
"Well, may I ask your name?" You asked, admiring the beautiful interior as he said, "Ah.. about that, you can call me.. Tae." 
"Tae?" You asked as he nodded. You just looked at the tea, wondering why the name sounded so familiar to you.
"The interior is pretty beautiful!" You complimented, trying to interact better with him making him chuckle.
"Thank you." He said and smiled.

You both were sitting there quietly when he spoke, "Oh well, may I ask why you were in Paris? I was just curious since we met twice in two countries.."
You nodded at his question and said, "Right.. I was in Paris for my studies. I had been there for 6 years."
"Oh... what subject do you study?" He asked as you said, "Flowers? I study flowers. I really like them, you know.."
"I know.." He mumbled in a low voice inaudible to you.
"Did you say something?" You asked as he shook his head, smiling.

"What about you?" You asked. He looked down and said, "I was there for 2 years, to find someone."
"Find someone?" You asked with confusion as he nodded.
"Ah... did you find them now?" Your question made him look at you with an unreadable expression. He slowly nodded saying, "Gladly, I did."
"Ooo, that's good!" You said with a giggle.

"Do you want to eat something?" He asked as you shook your head saying, "I had lunch not too long ago."
"Don't you like eating twice?" He asked as you looked at him with a confused and shocked expression. He chuckled and said, "Ah.. I just assumed you'd like to eat. Sorry if I'm wrong."
"You're not.. I love to eat twice. But it's weird, no one's ever assumed something correctly like that about me." You mumbled making him chuckle.
"Maybe because it's me and not no one else." He mumbled and got up, walking inside as you gasped a little.

"He's mysterious." You muttered under your breath. Soon, he came back with a tray of snacks.
"Guavas? That's my favourite!" You said and smiled as he chuckled saying, "Seems like I know you too much?"
"I agree.. it's so weird. Might be some coincidence though.." You said and looked down, feeling strange. 

He was standing close to you, leaning down while saying, "Maybe?" as you gulped looking away, your heart skipping a beat. He smiled and backed away saying, "You can stay here for as long as you like."

You looked down nervously and thought about it for a while as you chewed the pieces of guavas. After a while of some random chatting, you got up and said, "I should go now. It's been almost an hour already! Sorry for all the trouble, I'll invite you to my house someday to pay back."
He chuckled and said, "Of course! It's fine. Have a good day ahead."
You nodded and walked towards the front door with him. He opened the door for you as you got out waving at him. He was about to touch your hair but stopped as soon as he realized what he was doing.
"See you.." He mumbled as you nodded. You forwarded your hands for a handshake, feeling happy and said, "Let's get along well!"

He slowly held your hand making you gulp as you felt a shiver run down your spine. As you took your hand back, you could feel them shaking as your heartbeats were going into a frenzy. You gulped and bid him goodbye, quickly entering your house.
