Chapter 5: "Finally, we meet again"

The next morning, Jin woke up early to prepare breakfast for their guest also to his husband before they leave to visit Jungkook's cottage.

Namjoon called Jungkook last night and as expected the young wolf is still awake and working on work papers needs to be sign by him.

Namjoon told him that the certain deity will visit him tomorrow morning so he needs to prepare himself. Jungkook know that sooner or later that the deity will visit him so Jungkook thank the older alpha and end their call.

Jin prepared two plates of mini waffle pancakes with vanilla syrup and blueberry tops, also Jin knew that Ji Eun hates to eat pancakes early in the morning and preferred vegetarian breakfast so he cooked her favorite avocado tartine, He also make two fruit juices with is orange and strawberry.

After he turned off the stove and put the plates of food on the dining table, he walks towards the master bedroom and wake his husband up.

"Namjoon-ah..." He shakes his shoulder lightly making Namjoon groan but stop Jin's hand by pulling him over the top of him; making Seokjin ended up in Namjoon's chest.

"Yah! Wake up now; I need to wake the deity and angel up." Namjoon open his eyes and look at Jin.

"The two of them is already awake... I think Ji Eun didn't get enough of sleep last night as I continue to hear her sigh all night also the angel probably awake too... Come here" Namjoon pull him up to make them in the same height still over on his top.

Namjoon puckered his lips to asking for his good morning kiss to Jin, making Jin chuckles. "Where's my good morning kiss first, my omega?" he closes his eyes again waiting for his kisses.

Jin chuckles again but decided to kiss Namjoon's forehead down to his cute point nose then lastly to his lips, Namjoon smiled in the kiss before deepening the kiss making Jin closed his eyes losing in the kiss.

While the other two is already up and already freshen up wearing new clothes that Ji Eun found in the closet of the guest room.

She's wearing a red dress that have a big belt also above the knee style and she paired it with a black stiletto. Jin maybe brought this for her because he knows that Ji Eun will still visit them, she smiled in front of the human sizes mirror.

L on the other hand, he wears a black tee shirt with a white leather jacket on top, also a pair of gray pants and his white shoes. He's seating on the small couch inside the guestroom they've shared last night looking at Ji Eun who's still in front of the mirror probably thinking something deep.

"Hey, the mirror will shatter if you continue looking at it." He grinned when Ji Eun finally turn her face away from the mirror only to glared at him.

"Whatever! Actually for an angel like you, you snore quite loud last night, to the point I cannot fall asleep!" Ji Eun turned her body and cross her arms while raising an eyebrow and smirks towards L, who looks at her with his eyes widened.

"Let's go out, they're maybe awake!" with that L left Ji Eun in the room making her laugh and follow the angel.

The two went inside the dining room and saw a lot of food for breakfast and perfectly for 4 people. The angel gasped in shock as he saw the food.

"Deity, do wolves always prepare breakfast like this? I mean it's aesthetically beautiful!" He smiled before inviting himself to sit on of the chairs.

Ji Eun rolls her eyes before looking around and the couple is not yet around so instead of finding them she chose to sit beside L and wait for the couple to come out.

---

Few minutes later, Jin and Namjoon walk out in their room and walks towards the dining room where the other two are now.

Ji Eun raised an eyebrow to them while L smiled at them, the two doesn't actually needs to eat knowing that they're immortal who doesn't get hungry nor need food to eat basically they're just living with wealth and a works that assigned to them.

"Sorry if I didn't wake you up, Namjoon is hard to wake up so I take time to wake him up." Jin smiled to the both before sitting in front of them.

"It's okay... being the newlywed we understand those things... It's just that you know that we don't eat real food right but this breakfast is making me drool" L smiled at him as he pointed the food in front of them.

"Then you can eat now" Jin said then look towards Ji Eun who silently pick up her fork and eat her healthy breakfast.

Namjoon sliced the pancakes first before he gave it to Jin and get the other plate of pancake for him, Ji Eun saw it and it's making her smile knowing that Jin has the best partner he found.

After eating breakfast, the three went outside biding the good bye to Jin and also thanking him for cooking their breakfast. Namjoon kissed his forehead before whispering to his ears.

"I'll be back before lunch, let's go out as I arrived" Jin smiled at him pecking a kiss in his lips before letting them leave.

Ji Eun and L let the couple bid their good bye to each other so they went out first waiting for Namjoon in a distance, few minutes passed and Namjoon walks towards them and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"You promised." Namjoon said smiling slightly.

"Namjoon, I never break promises... You can assure that I will only talk to him plus L is with us" she said then looked towards Jin and wave before the three vanished.

They arrived at Jungkook's place and both Ji Eun and L take a glance to each other giving each other knowing look.

// it's the same as Junghyun portrait, his wannabe house// in their both thoughts.

"Ji Eun-ssi this is Jungkook's house, he's probably up so I'll ring the door." Namjoon said walking toward the doorbell leaving the two without noticing the eyes of the deity.

Ji Eun's expression become blank after seeing the house knowing the person who's living here had the face of his ex-passed mate. L on the other hand eyed her worriedly.

Ji Eun and L became childhood friend before he passed away and became a messenger of the moon goddess, and now that he's with her to be lean on... L knew more than Jin knew.

After ringing the doorbell, Namjoon looked at them and L nudged Ji Eun to snap out on her thoughts, she looks at Namjoon and walks towards him while L followed her on behind.

It's seem like today will be the reunion of the three, the only difference is that Jungkook is not Junghyun, he has his face but not his fully soul.

The door opened automatically as Jungkook click something on the tablet near on his living room after he saw Namjoon face on the screen, he wait nervously as this is the first time he will be able to see the deity up close, and talk to.

Namjoon entered first following by the two immortals, Jungkook greets them by bowing down on his knees to pay respect to the immortals before asking them to seat on the big black couch and he and Namjoon sits on the opposite.

Ji Eun can't help to look around inside his living room. Jungkook's living room is basically plain white and black with slightly gray paints wall with white on the ceiling partnered with a small crystallize chandelier. On Jungkook's wall had a few different abstract painting and few frames on the wall.

He also have a coffee table on the center which have tray full of small pocket book and a tea pitcher on the side keeping the books stable, he also have a black and white crossed pattered carpet. Jungkook's living room is mainly simple and cozy.

"Can we talk, just the two of us?" She said looking at the other two who's mainly waiting patiently who will talk first.

"But Ji—" Ji Eun looks at L then to Namjoon reassuring them that she will not hurt the young wolf, Namjoon sighed but stood up.

"We're going to stay at your garden Guk, I hope it's fine" Namjoon said making Jungkook looks at him and nodded, Namjoon left followed by the angel hesitantly.

//I'll be fine, just follow Namjoon!// Ji Eun said over her mind sending it to the angel.

After the two finally left, Jungkook who is avoiding the eyes of the deity by looking down, slowly look up to see the deity looking at him softly.

"Don't be scared, I know you have a lot of questions. From the moment I saw you at Jin's and Namjoon's wedding; I know that you'll be waiting for me to summon myself to you, and I know you're confused on why I am here." Ji Eun said.

"I know that you'll definitely find me... Can you please explained to me why I keep dreaming of you since I turn 18? I mean, it's been 4 years since I turned 18, but after I saw you at the wedding my dreams became more aggressive and the parts I saw which me is with you on the cave wearing old traditional clothes." Jungkook frowned as he tried to narrate what he dreams this past three weeks.

Ji Eun eyes widened upon hearing what the younger wolf said. "Y-you what?" She stuttered looking scared at Jungkook.

"I-I saw you with me in the cave and we're both wearing traditional clothes all smiley but my hair is long. The only thing that's blurred is—" Jungkook didn't continue because the Ji Eun shouted.

//stop…//

//Stop!//

"STOP!" Jungkook gulps as he saw the deity's red eyes but a tear scrolling onto her eyes.

"That's not you, Jungkook." She tries to calm herself down by toning down her voice, not wanting Namjoon and L to think she did something bad to the younger wolf.

"T-that's the reason why I am here Jungkook-ssi.... The m-man in your dreams is not you but that woman is me." She looks down avoiding the looks Jungkook gave to her.

"What do you mean?" Jungkook's eyebrow frowned on what the deity said.

"B-but, why am I seeing those dreams if that's not me?" He asked staring at the deity confusedly.

Ji Eun wipes her tears that flowing down on her cheeks before looking at Jungkook with the sad eyes.

"The person you saw is my past mate, the one that I'd killed on the night I'm supposed to be claim and mark as his own." Jungkook's eyes widened upon hearing the deity.

"I'm sure you hear about it when you're attending school, because according to Jin... My story is being shared in your class as a myth prodigy subject." Ji Eun smiled slightly.

"Then, the moon goddess really punished you?!" Jungkook shouted surprisingly as Ji Eun nodded.

"She did, and now... You being reincarnated and have a face of Junghyun is part of it." Jungkook frowned as he remembers one time he heard the story about the deity.

Flashback

"The deity was punished by the moon to be a powerful deity of heart to let her learn a lesson about love, She's a well known heartless that killed her own mate upon not believing in love and commitment.

And for her to die, her mate needed to be reincarnated again and let her asks for forgiveness and hand him to be happy with his new life with his mate.

End of flashback

"Deity... you already saw and meet me... and I figured you already know I have a mate but why are you still here, doesn't your mistake already has been paid?" Jungkook asks again.

Ji Eun shakes her head. "I needed to be here until you and your mate will be mark and claim to be as one, I also needed to ask for forgiveness the other reason why I'm here" With that Ji Eun the deity of hearts kneel down in front of Jungkook with her hands hold him.

"You may be not him, but I'll still need to ask for forgiveness to you, for you to live happily without dreaming about my past and continue to be stronger." She stares in his eyes, full of longing and regret.

"I—" JI Eun cut him off by squeezing his hands and shaking his head.

"Let me..." The deity pleads making Jungkook nod quietly.

She looks down holding Jungkook's both hands tightly. "I'm sorry for not keeping my promises that I'll never hurt nor leave you, I'm sorry for killing you because of my childishness and stupidity thought about love and commitment. Junghyun-ah, forgive me for killing you without telling you the reason of why I kill you instead of breaking our bond. I'm just scared on once I did it, my best friend will be slipping away from me, I know it's stupid but you know you're the only person who can understand me right? I'm sorry" Ji Eun completely lost herself upon breaking down in front of the alpha.

Jungkook's expressions suddenly change, like a person entering his soul. "Ji Eun-ah…" Jungkook's voice also changed with more deep.

Ji Eun looks up to him to see that the person he's holding isn't Jungkook... it's Junghyun who entered Jungkook's body for the sake of forgiveness.

"W-who are y-you?" She stuttered trying to remove her hands from Jungkook's, but he tightly holds it back.

"It's Junghyun" He said smiling softly to her. Ji Eun cannot believe what she heard but she throws herself to the man and hugs him tightly saying sorry non-stop the same the tears in her eyes.

L on the other hand saw the entire scenes crying silently on the entrance door. His both best friend finally met again, he decided to go back to the garden and accompany Namjoon leaving the two.

"Ji Eun, stop crying now...Shh" He said as draws small circles on Ji Eun back trying to calm the deity down.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" She continues to muttered. Junghyun have to remove Ji Eun slowly and let her sit down on the couch before talking again.

"I forgive you, okay? Besides that's already the past" he said softly caressing Ji Eun hair carefully fixing her hair who's now a little messed up because of her.

Ji Eun is now calming herself down after she heard Junghyun's voice. "B-but how did you do that?" She asks curiosity.

Junghyun realized. "Oh... didn't the moon goddess told you?" He frowned only to smile again.

"I guess she did but you know I'm not use to listen what others said" She muttered making him laugh.

"But you indeed changed Ji Eun, you're not holding your emotions now, you're much different than 800 years ago, the only thing that didn't change is your physical... You still look the way you are." Junghyun looks at her face fondly.

"Hey! Jungkook's!" JI Eun alarmed after she realized that Junghyung has been with her for more than 1 hour now!

"Hey! Calm down, Jungkook will not die... But he will need a lot of rest after I leave his body... maybe 1 week for him to regain his strength." Junghyun assured Ji Eun as he holds her shoulder for her to calm down.

"Will I be able to see you again soon?" Ji Eun asks looking at Junghyun.

"You need to ask the moon for that, now that everything between us is already settled, your body will notice some changes but you're not growing old not until Jungkook and his mate will be as one." Junghyun said.

"I will leave Jungkook's body now, you must catch his body as I leave or call the two of them to help you up also... Tell myungsoo hyung that I'm glad he's with you and say hi from me okay?" He said kissing Ji Eun's forehead before he close Jungkook's eyes and slowly leaving Jungkook's body making Jungkook's body fall down making Ji Eun catch the young wolf's body.

"Thank you" Ji Eun muttered the placed a kiss on Jungkook's forehead before calling the other two.

The two quickly run as they heard Ji Eun's voice.

Namjoon arrived first but stopped once he saw Jungkook on Ji Eun's arms with his eyes widened; L next arrived and quickly helps the deity to carry the younger wolf.

"Yah! Will you forever stand there?! Help us; this young wolf is pretty heavy!" L shouted making Namjoon snapped out and run to help them settle the younger wolf on the couch.

"What the hell happened, Ji Eun?!" Namjoon asked still shock on the scene he saw earlier and forgot to call Ji Eun as a respectably deity.

"Junghyun entered his body making him sleep after he left Jungkook's body.... On how's that happened I don't actually know... We should wait until he regains his sense and strength, Jungkook is the only one who can answer it, he will be asleep for one week." After Ji Eun break the news down Namjoon face became pale.

//damn this, I never thought alpha can feel fear too// she rolled her eyes but focused on Jungkook.

"Does he live alone?" Ji Eun asked Namjoon but Namjoon is still shock so the only thing she needs to do is to smack the alpha.

Namjoon growls as Ji Eun smacks him. "I asked you if he live here alone?!" She asks again but with her bossy voice.

"He is, but sometimes his friends are staying here." Ji Eun shakes her head.

"Tch, call his mate and let him take care of him for the entire week." Ji Eun said making Namjoon eyes widened again.

He's never been ordered like this but she's the deity Namjoon never thought how many times he was surprised today but he can't reject the ordered of the deity to him, the only problem is he doesn't know whose Jungkook's mate at all.

"But I don't know who is mate at all?" He asks looking at Jungkook.

"Kim Taehyung does ring a bell?" Ji Eun answered raising her eyebrows at Namjoon.

"What?! Kim Taehyung?! Kim Seokjin's younger brother?" Ji Eun growls at him but nodded again.

"What the fuxx?!" He uttered.

// I'm fucked once Jin heard about this, damn// He thoughts
