Time was ticking. The effulgent moon had ventured into the earth's penumbra. Earth's shadow had begun to shroud its luminous glow. It was the night of the lunar eclipse.

Darkness casted not only on the natural satellite but also in the lives of the two lovers. Fate was hanging like a Damocles sword over their perturbed heads.

Being in dire straits, their only answer was seeking the help of the sorceress, Star. The mage herself was now rummaging through the shelf of her old, musky books. The manuscripts treasuring the mystical secrets of her ancestors. She wanted to seek answers and help the twinflames.

To heal and to help. That was the purpose of her soul. The kernel of her being. For which, her soul reincarnated each time to serve its karma.

Her nimble fingers dusted over all the thick tomes. Her patience was running thin, just like the time that ran like grains of sand through her fingers.

"Where is it! I don't have much time. Spirits please guide me. I need answers. The heavens and the universe please bestow your light to the lost souls" she chanted and meditated her thoughts in an attempt to manifest them.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind seeped through her sheer curtains. The windows vibrated in an omen of imminent events. And an emerald green book abruptly fell from the shelf, at her feet

Alarmed, she opened her eyes and stooped down to pick it up. To her surprise, the book landed open at a specific page.

Her delicate fingers skimmed the frayed, beige page. The hand written letters, causing her eyes to widen as they danced over each word in deep consternation.

"This can't be it"

She read and read. Until the words pierced her eyes and universe's auspice adjured her to take the next step.

"I have to be quick. I can't let history repeat itself. They don't deserve this" she whispered as she held the text close to her chest.

Her eyes then landed on the refulgent moon outside her window. The latter had now started to turn red in the wake of eclipse. Darkness of (fore)shadow had begun to blanket its glow. It was not long till it would turn completely red and be bloodied by hands of fate.

From penumbral, now the lunar eclipse had entered its penultimate stage. The partial phase.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

After being struck by the news from the doctor, Jungkook sat beside you incessantly weeping. His eyes were puffed, nose red and lips plump from crying. The doleful slap of destiny had him shattered to pieces.

The very idea of losing you forever was digging daggers in his chest. Grief wreathed his anguished form. His hands interlocked and repeatedly kissed your tatted knuckles. He didn't care that it was actually his bodily form that he was seeing in this condition.

The eyes of his soul constantly yearned to see yours. Beheld yours, through its mirrors.

"Baby, please wake up. I can't live without you, Bun. You want to stay in my body? Fine. I can live as a woman throughout my life. But I can't live without you, your soul, my love. I know your soul hears me. Come back to me love. Don't leave me alone, please." he hiccuped as strings of saliva choked the words from his mouth. His head rested on your torso as he endeavoured to gauge your heartbeat.

The very beats, that became the music of his existence in the past few months.

"Our time together cannot be this short, baby. I want to cherish you more, love you more. Make you happy forever. How can you leave your fated flame like this. My soul's incomplete without yours, bun" he broke down again, writhing in your embrace.

One may think, that this reaction and attachment is unreal for the time he spent together with you.

But fate had already tied your souls by the invisible red string centuries ago. Your souls had been its victim in every lifetime. The hex of your union always slashed the delicate thread. Even before the other half of the soul could mold with its mate and become one eternally.

Just like broken pieces of puzzle that could never be solved. Each lifetime left your hearts broken and unhealed.

"My soul needs you bun. I love you so much. I can't explain this. But I know this shouldn't happen to us" he interlaced your hand with his. And once again, the golden magnetic warmth encased his being. The very familiar warmth he felt, when he first met you.

As he held your hand, he felt his life being sucked out from the touch. Every cell of his flesh and every drop of his blood felt drawn by the electric pull from your fingers. It was painful, yet it felt safe.

"Ah!" he cried and convulsed aggressively.

The lights of the room started flickering and the windows bursted open. The glass on the table fell and it's clanking resonated the entire room.

And then everything became silent.

Serenity seemed precarious. As if conveying the silence before the storm. A portent of something tumultuous which would change their lives forever.

"What's happening" Jungkook gasped, aghast. His senses ceased in sheer perplexity and fear.

In the mind numbing silence, his phone's ringtone sliced through the thickening tension.

Seeing the caller, he sprang up to pick it up.

"Hello" he answered.

"Jungkook I found it." the voice of the caller spoke and his heart felt like seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

It was at that moment the lustre of the moon greeted his features. The half carmine moon shined at him, mutely foreshadowing his bloodied fate.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

"Jungkook, I found the cure to this curse. And there's only one way" Star spoke with a bated breath. Her blue orbs glistening under the faint moonlight.

They stood at the terrace of the hospital. The gloomy skies, blanketed the eclipsing moon as it became more vermillion than before.

"What's it Star, tell me. I'll do anything. Anything!" Jungkook took quick steps forward and held her hands in subservience. His eyes dripping with desperation and his aura paralysed with impussiance.

"Jungkook, one soul has to be sacrificed for the curse to be broken. It's fate. Under the light of the moon, one soul has to be immolated. That's how it's been going in your every incarnation. We can't change it. I am afraid Y/N's soul is the one which has been chosen this time" she revealed.

Just as she completed her sentence, Jungkook unclasped his hands from hers violently.

"Then it'll be me. I'll die! I am ready to sacrifice my soul. I can't live without her. She'll stay safe and alive. Nothing will happen to my bun" his voice rose in pitch as he rambled in shock. Losing his sanity, literally. He slowly started stepping away from her. His eccentric reaction worried her.

"No Jungkook! Do you think she'll be able to live without you? I am sorry but-"

"JUNGKOOK!" she screamed, as she absorbed the sight of the man sprinting towards the railings in an attempt to jump of the terrace. And bring an end to this vicious gamble with fate.

With all her strength, the mage gripped his torso and pushed him off on to the ground. Where he continued to helplessly sob, quivering.

"I can't let her die! If she dies I die with her! This all has no meaning" he slammed his soft knuckles against the cemented floor, drawing blood from them.

A blood which was akin to the bloodied vermillion moon that clouded over them. The moon was now entirely red, shadowed by darkness of the earth. All light from the sun failing to illuminate it. The luminous light with which the satelite cradled his lost souls every night, now eclipsed and lost.

The full moon was now totally eclipsed.
It was only a matter of few minutes, before it would go back to normal and the fate will take his another victim away. Executing the cursed ritual, after execution of its chosen immolated soul.

Having already made her heart. The mage proceeded to do what was the purpose of her soul. Her duty.

With that she knelt down, and rested her delicate healing hands on top of Jungkook's sweated forehead. Her action, not being noticed by his devastated soul.

As she graced her mystical touch on his forehead, the light in front of Jungkook's eyes blacked out. And everything turned dark. His soul drowned in pits of dark abyss that destiny had dug for him. This was the inevitable end. Nobody can win fate. His power is supreme.

With a lots of fluttering and wriggling, you opened your eyes.

The beeping of machines beside you, penetrated your sensitive ears. The blinding white lights almost drew tears from your eyes. Along with this, the strong ointment-like smell greeted your nostrils.

You were in a hospital right now.

"Why I am here?" you softly spoke, your vocal cords feeling strained.

You rose up from the bed and coughed. Your hand landed on your chest, and you felt the bunny pendant resting against your décolletage. Reverberating Jungkook's love against your respiring chest.

You smiled reminiscing your happy memories with him.

Your train of daydream was halted by the sound of door being pushed open.

"Oh you're awake, Bun"

Then it all hit you.

You immediately embosomed his form tightly as soon as he sat on the bed. Fearing he will leave you, just like you saw in your dreadful dream.

"Woah, Baby. Are you alright? Bad dream hm? My sleeping beauty" Jungkook massaged your back and pinched your cheek lightly. Followed by him pecking your lips.

"Baby what happened? Wait! We turned back!" you cheered in exhilaration, after noticing yours and his respective forms.

"Turned back? Wha-"

His sentence was cut short by the faint clamour heard outside from the hospital corridors.

"What's that?" you asked him gullibly.

"Oh that. Someone just jumped off the hospital's terrace this morning. It was perhaps a woman. They were too young, I heard. May their soul rest in peace" he sighed, closing his eyes in respect.

"What?"

Sighing, he turned the water bottle open, and poured you a glass of water to drink.

"Anyways Bun, here take your medicine. Am so glad nothing serious happened to you. I can't imagine anything bad happen to you. My love" he stroked your hair as you finished gulping the tablet in one go.

"But what happened? Why are we here? Also I am back in my body now? How?" you blabbered impatiently, earning a chuckle from him.

"Woah Bun, easy. We had a car accident remember? We were coming back from getting our matching tattoos and suddenly a puppy came running in front of our car. Though nothing actually happened to us and the puppy. The emotional trauma of the incident was too much for you. So you fainted. I am so glad I hit the breaks at the right time." he explained as he tucked your hair sweetly behind your ears.

"Matching tattoos? What tattoos?" you asked inspecting the already embossed skin of his arm.

"Ah baby here, these ones, we had these done each behind our ears remember?" he averted his face to reveal the inked number- "7" on his skin.

"Seven means forever in love. Seven days a week, remember?" he giggled, biting his lips suggestively.

"You have it too, look" he took his phone to reveal you the picture where you posed with your matching tattoos, behind your ears.

You started giggling, and your cheeks became hot.

"Is it because we switched our souls at 7 am everyday, so to mark this memory we got these tattoos huh?" you swatted his arm playfully, bringing the blanket closer to your face, blushing.

"Switched the souls ? 7 am? Baby what are you talking about?" Jungkook's eyebrows furrowed in utter confusion. He was not following.

"Switched our souls! That's how we met remember? You loved wearing all my pink dresses and lingerie when we swapped our bodies. How can you forget baby! That's how and why we basically met and bonded!" you pouted and folded your arms over your chest, sulking at his lapse of memory.

"How we met? Swapped bodies? Baby we met at the fansign? And then after that, I sent my bodyguard to ask for your number, remember? Gosh you had me fallen for you at first sight, indeed." he softly spoke, reaching for your hands to kiss them amorously.

"Bun?"

He doesn't remember?
