"It survived the worst unscathed... Our love. Right, Taehyun?" 

Maybe it was just another innocent lie... maybe just a pure belief I planted from my fingers into the fine strands of his hair so easily... 

... but I nodded with a reassuring smile, imprinting the promise of eternity into his soft lips. 

We will survive... 

.
.
.

... but will we? The thought were so dizzily reversed by a tiny worry hidden well in the corner of my head... his last required answer brought it up. 

"Please answer me one more thing, Tae... with sincerity and without fear - did you hide from me that my aura shines even brighter than Kai's or the star Yeonjun carries... or did it only start shining like that after the ancient blood was released and Soobin's life was seemingly in danger? Be honest with me, please." 

So pathetic, I went so far that my own love had to beg me for honesty... with one gulp I moved it up from the stuck throat to the trembling sparkles in my eyes: "I- kind of... Both? How did you figure that out?" 

"So you did hide it...," obviously not a surprised sigh came out from Beomgyu's mouth. "The messengers of death - they actually appeared by the lake because they noticed the madly twinkling light of my lifeline..."

So that was how-

"... That upset gloss in your eyes when we met on the cliff - it wasn't any childish jealousy over the wings... it was a concern, right? It wasn't just out of love, you kept all those secrets from me because you were afraid of something... something in me, of what?"

"I really don't know much more than you, Gyu... all I have are unverified assumptions." 

"No, not this again. Just tell me..." 

.

"... I think... I think you are the supernova that split the twin flame soul... the force that holds us together at the same time... a destructive creation in process..." 

"What- exactly does that mean?" 

For us? For our future?

"I am not sure." 

•.°❀⍟❀°.•

A destructive creation... the explosion in bloom - what words could better describe a supernova, a cosmic flower... part of the variable universe that's whispering to me. Beauty in doom. 

I noticed that the bright beaming light within him grew stronger every time the twin flame went into deeper life threats or transformations. And if that glow shot his wings out of its cocoon this time... and even death itself could see it... 

Did it all mean that the fairy of inner bloom could truly be a double-edged sword? With downfall on one side and birth on the other... because the old must always be destroyed for something new to arise. 

It was an uncertain hope in extinction and I was afraid of what had to be sacrificed... of what victims the explosion could bring in the future. Of whether the Healer would ultimately be able to lay down his or someone else's life for the sake of the twin flame's destiny. 

Was Beomgyu somehow more directly connected to the spark of our world? Did it have anything to do with the dimension collapsing?

... and if Archer's live water is his home tree's sap... was the Guardian carrying the star fire possibly the knight who would be able to influence this gleaming blade of doom?

Yeonjun...

Yeonjun has almost sacrificed himself.

The moon peeked through the edge of the small window behind my head, which was nestled in fluffy pillows, and opened my eyelids with insomnia... a thin, well-shaped arm warmly landed on my waist.

"I knew you weren't sleeping..."

Yeonjun's sleepy voice moved the corner of my mouth... I slid my gaze towards him and snuggled up to him, my chin rested on the top of his head.

"Of course I'm not... do you know any better time for brainstorming than four after the midnight?"

A soft chuckle caressed my neck. "How do you know what time is it...? Isn't it... unconventional here?"

The shooting star's amused wonder led my eyes across the cozy room with unknown familiar contours from dark dreams... even shadows seemed to be soundly asleep in the pale moonlight.

The chest of the dryad laying behind Yeonjun has rose in a deep breath in... slowly released in the following relaxed exhale. Beomgyu was given over to the sweet slumber as well.

"It just feels like that... as if the time's ticking really stops for a while... nothing else than concentrated power of listening to the present filled nothingness lefts... and everything around seems to be finally lulled - that's when the universe is loudest... and a little bit scary in its unearthly absurd tones... Until that magical moment, when it's all whispered in a dawn waking up birds and common world's noises come back as something unusual and enchanting..."

With Hyuka, we've always literally loved to spend this time in thoughtful conversations or intimate silence.

"I see, this is why Kai calls you his Muse, mhm?" Yeonjun's voice purred with a faint smile I could finally behold, when he carefully moved higher on the pillow to face me.

"In short - I can not sleep, haha," the smirk jumped to my lips, sincerely igniting the spark of love in my eyes.

"It's pretty clear to me..."

The few inches between us disappeared with my eyelids drooping so naturally... the affection manifested in our lazy kisses and my fingertips getting lost in his rusty hair crown.

"I guess we both slept enough already...," a pink spark gently twinkled in Yeonjun's irises, making me nod and want to kiss him some more...

If only he didn't steal his breath back.

Sigh.

"I haven't had time to thank you yet. If you, Soobin and Changbin weren't there to stop the Wendigo... it would be the end of me. I'm really sorry for all the consequences as well... as for hurting you."

I sat up, brushing back my hair and shaking my head.

"We are here for you. I'm always ready to do anything it takes for you to be alright... you know that. And it's not like you knew what effect fairy dust can have on us... hopefully, neither did Changbin," I returned my thoughts to the person I hadn't had much time to think about yet.

The one who was bathed in the river of the death. - the universe whispered the boy's true name, which I had almost completely missed earlier in the battle with the monster.

"Do you think he even knows he's a demigod?" I murmured into the ether, forgetting to aim my voice at the fire fairy beside me.

"Who?"

My gaze moved to confused Yeonjun, who had also sat up in the meantime.

"Changbin. Among other things- he fought and held the Wendigo with his bare hands."

Long fingers dejectedly slid from Jun's neck over the naked rounded shoulder to his elbow, which they wrapped in shame.

"He might help us, when I find out how to break your blood curse," I voiced my real idea out loud.

A sigh left Guardian's lips. He nervously grabbed my hand, drawing back my attention hidden behind the glint in my eyes.

"Tyun..."

"There must be a way. It looks like Soobin's curse was broken when he was forced to face his fear... and Beomgyu got his wings-"

"And then there are curses like Gyu's, mine or yours that just can not be broken. It was a coincidence," he jumped stubbornly into my speech, his breath quickened in growing scare.

"I don't believe in coincidences," I insisted anyway.

"You cannot use your power in malice and kill it in me."

"And I won't," I strangled my voice in my throat to keep from screaming, immediately sat on my heels and wrapped my hands around Yeonjun's to calm him down a little bit, "but if there's a way, I can help you to do it yourself... to help all of you."

How could I alone defeat such a terrifying part of my existence? The thought passed down Yeonjun's throat with difficulty.

Just as the tip of the antler found its way through the locks of rusted hair, the first ray of sunlight entered the room to turn it into the ashes.

Then, when a joyful chirping came in from behind the window and Beomgyu's arms unexpectedly ended up around Yeonjun's waist... the warm relief of scaring off his shadows almost made the angel laugh out loud.

It's morning.

The sunlight reminded him his fears aren't present right now... he is safe now, no need to fight yet.

"... a little bit scary and absurd... Until the magical moment, when it's all whispered in a dawn waking up birds, right Tyun?" chuckled the fire fairy, lovingly pecking the knuckles of my hand with some kind of gratitude.

"... with our love... You're never alone, Jun. We can do it all together," Beomgyu murmured into his side.

Indeed - I nodded in an excited agreement.

We all could feel the warmth of light slowly enlightening our hearts with the purest love I've ever known. It was already so close it made me enthusiastically glance to the door.

"Tae, come to our tree house as soon as you're free. I have something urgent to tell you." 

"They're finally coming back, huh...," a soft smile could be heard in Yeonjun's voice. It drew me back and I hugged him tight.

"Guess you're leaving now," I hoped the Guardian wasn't really that much disappointed as he made it sound.

"I'm sorry. Hyuka has something important to tell me in private," I confirmed his judgment regretfully.

"I see. Just go to him, it's okay. I have this cuddly bear now after all."

"And tell the Flower boy to hurry up... otherwise I'm keeping Jun for myself, thank you~" Beomgyu sang out still half asleep, whereupon Yeonjun cautiously squeezed his neck from behind, making him shriek.

"Seems like it's high time for me to leave," I laughed, already jumping out of bed to my feet. 

"No rush..."

But how not to rush when you feel in your bones that the day will be productive right from the morning?

I was gone before the Guardian could roll his eyes.
