THIRD PERSON POV

"So, she finally got her memories back." A middle-aged man whispered, a scroll on his hands as he gazed outside a window.

A hue of different colors were filling the glassy sky, gracefully mixing and blending in together though wind wasn't present. Beneath the colorful sky though, everything was motionless. Houses very still, trees standing tough, and the fountain is dry with no water. Nonetheless, the entire surrounding is neat and spotless.

The man then pulled the curtains back and focused on the scroll on his hands once again, observing the new words forming.

"The last man standing helps the other

But later forgets on the next encounter

Emotions now being forgotten

Destiny begins once again."

"Destiny is really beginning to challenge these royalties fates." The man chuckles as he said this to himself. He then gave off a sigh.

"So its also almost time for the upcoming war then?"

YOONA

Luhan couldn't stop looking at me after I let go of those words. His face obviously tells me he's very shocked and I just want to chuckle because of it. But I can't.

My eyes started to water and I brought my hands to my face. All this time, I've been with the people I love the most, and what I have only showed them were ignorance and hate. What a great person I am.

I never thought this would ever happen again. For how many years I was fooled under the witch I call as mother, I thought hope inside the real me will never be found.

But, it did.

"Yoona, you were never a monster." I cried even harder when I felt Luhan's arms around my shoulders, slowly pulling me close to him. "Being different from other people doesn't make you a monster. Please don't let the fear of other people scare you. They don't know how you suffered from the past years."

"But that doesn't change the fact that I am capable of ruining their lives. Kai died because of me! Mother lived her last years in pain and the people in that town died because- " My emotions got the best of me, preventing me to continue. My face was on Luhan's shirt so I'm very sure its wet by now.

All of my heavy, kept-in feelings were bursting out, and I'm glad that its Luhan who's watching me in this state. I snuggled closer to him and just let all of it out.

The years of never crying, the times I always acted tough, the scared little girl behind that strong courageous lady, and the frown hiding a pained smile, everything went all out, and for the first time in my life, I have never felt so light.

Luhan gave me a tender smile as he wiped away the last tears from my eyes. I looked up and saw his eyes gazing down on me. Its been so long since the last time we were this close to each other. Who would've thought I could still be at this kind of distance with him?

"Are you feeling alright now?" Luhan softly asked, to which I nodded a bit. His hand then went above my head and started to caress my hair gently. "You're finally back, Yoona." I heard him mutter, which made me smile.

"Thank you for heeding my request." I told him, and he placed his gaze back on me again. "I was right about sending you my last message, before all of my powers were drained out of me."

"I will always heed to your requests. They're as important as my life." He answered back and caressed the side of my cheek. "Are you also ready to heed mine?" He jokingly asked with a smile. I chuckled at his expression.

"Of course. What is it?" I asked, with an excited smile.

"Come with me inside and let's meet the others."

~~~~~

"Oh Yanna, do you need something?" As soon as we went inside this mini-office, Kyungsoo stood up from his seat and greeted me, while Suho, Kris, Jessica, and Taeyeon unnie stayed seated but were looking at my direction. I smiled at their direction. How I want to hug them right now.

"Luhan? How come you're with..." Jessica stopped talking as soon as she met me in the eyes. She gasped out loud, which confused the rest of them. I continued to smile at her. She really improved in noticing changes huh?

Jessica slowly stood up and walked towards me, but soon stopped just right in front of me. Her eyes were wide and I could almost see her tears flowing out. Her arms were even shaking as well, as if wanting to hold me.. I couldn't help but let out a chuckle. She is also still very emotional.

"Hi Jessica. You caught me very quickly." I giggled out loud when Jessica embraced me quickly, engulfing me in her arms. I also did the same back to her. She started to cry loudly, which alarmed the others. But they all went silent as soon as Jessica shouted.

"Yoona, you're back!"

Suho dropped the book he was holding, and Kyungsoo's pen fell out of his hands. Kris stared at the both of us in shock, while Taeyeon unnie slowly brought her hands to her lips and quivered. She then walked towards me, Luhan walking towards the side of Kris to give her space.

"Y-Yoona, d-do you r-remember everything?" Jessica let go of me and I then faced Taeyeon unnie, tears already has sprung out of her. I laughed.

"Nee, Taeyeon unnie. I do." Before I could even blink, I was then trapped in her arms, her loud cries filling in the room. I gratefully hugged her back. "Taeyeon unnie, I missed you so much."

"I m-missed you too, pabo." Gosh, she's making me cry as well! I laughed out of joy as I try to wipe away my upcoming tears.

"Unnie, you're making me cry." I complained jokingly, but she didn't answer and just continued to hug me, her hold slowly getting tighter. I didn't mind, I always love her hugs.

"Yoona." I looked up and saw Kris, smiling kindly at me. "Welcome back." Was what he just said. I nodded to him as acknowledgment. I did the same to Suho, who just gave me a smile.

"You," As Taeyeon unnie let go of me, Kyungsoo then walked towards me and hit me in the head.

"Ow! Kyungsoo! You didn't have to do that!" I complained while rubbing my head and glared at him. Why on SMTown did he suddenly do that?

"Why do you always make everyone worry, huh?! Even after spending all those years searching for you, you still won't call me oppa?" He answered back, and I busted out laughing. He still won't get over his brother figure for me.

I opened my arms and gestured him to come forward. He raised a brow at me. Man, he really is such some tsundere.

"Is that your way of wanting to hug me? You could've just greeted me then hug me right away, like what Jessica and Taeyeon unnie did." I laughed when Kyungsoo didn't say anything as he walked towards me and hugged me tight. As expected.

"You are a damsel, young lady. A great damsel." He mumbled but I didn't mind. I just continued to hug the man who stood as an older brother to me over the past years.

I miss them so very much.

A/N

It's been two weeks and yet I gave you a short chapter, which also is like a filler chapter. Sigh. I'll try my best to make the next chapter long.

We are still a bit far from surprises.

Goodbye for now everyone. Have a blessed school year/vacation!
