As I lay there in bed. Rachel and Jenny in my embrace... I start to wonder... How am i so lucky?
Jenny... She tried everything to seduce me. I know from the beggining that she had a crush on me... But it wasn't just a simple crush... And during it all... I started to fall in love with her as well...
But i couldn't betray Rachel... I couldn't stomach the thought of her hating me... I thought that maybe this crush will fade with time. But she never backed down. Not even once...
One day, Rachel and i had a talk. She told me that Jenny almost killed herself. I felt my heart beating out of my chest. I stood to look for her but Rachel calmed me down. Said that she was there on time. And Jenny is safe and sound. I slumped on the chair... Its my fault... Jenny loves me too much... And i couldn't reciprocate...
But then Rachel said something that changed our lives completely.
"Husband... Jenny is very special to you, to me, to us... I already see her as a family member. And i want her to be happy as well... I know you love her. And if you want my premission to court her... Then you have it. I want you to be happy Joe. And i want Jenny to be happy as well... It would make me the happiest~! ".
Rachel is the most selfless person i know. I tried to tell her that i made an oath by marrying her. But she adamant for me to have Jenny. In the end... I relented... Part of me wanted to stay faithful... But part me of me wanted to do whats right! I dont want Jenny to hurt herself over me. So i confessed my love to her...

Present time...
*Phew~*
I exhaled deeply. I looked around me to see myself in my room.
I checked on my Inner Sea. And i saw it.
The sun in half Bloom. Signaling my breakthrough to the fifth Stage of Soul cultivation!
I can already feel it... This power... This... Sensations. My Soul can intrinsically help me in my other cultivation path directly!
Not completely though. Hence the name. Half Bloom Realm.
I got up and cracked every Joint on my body. How long was i out? No matter. Ill know soon enough.
For now... I need to see Edna.

Edna's POV
5 years ago...
I woke up again to an emptiness beside me... My Jason has already went on his adventure. It has already been three days since he left...
The state of the house has been miserable. Everyone was asking about him. And it hurts so much to not know what to answer them with...
Especially Nisha...
When she looks up at me with those precious eyes...
I can't help but go back to my room and whimper till I sleep.
My Jason... I hope you're safe...
I got up, then looked at the nightstand. I opened the drawer, noticing a letter.
Was it always there... I didn't even notice it.
I opened it to see his hand writing...
'My Edna.
My sweet Edna... I wrote this letter to confirm a few things with you.
One. That i will return to you.
Two. That i will think about you every day.
Three. That i love you.
Four. That i will miss you.
Five. That you hold a very special place in my heart. My first kiss was with you, My Edna...
Stay strong Edna. Stay strong for me. For our family.
Yours Eternal.
Jason'
I kept reading the letter over and over again.
I read that letter thousands of times already. My Jason... How i missed you so...

5 years later...
I opened my tired eyes... No matter how i try. I cant seem to find an equilibrium. A balance. But its no use...
I looked at my hands. Wrinkles started developing... I looked to the mirror. Gray hairs... I actually have gray hairs.
I got up... Its no use anymore... Im dying...
I just want to see him one last time... My Jason...
Just as i was about to open the door. Someone has already opened it.
He's here...
I saw a beautiful young man. Short white hair... Emerald green eyes... And his stupid smirk~.
I smiled stupidly at him. I tried to reach out to his face with my hand... My wrinkled hand... I stopped myself... I forgot that im a husk of my former self now...
But i still looked up at his eyes. And i saw a look of concern and sadness... I couldn't bear it... To see him like that... Why did he have to see me like this... Its my own selfishness... My own desire to survive till i met him again!
"Im sorry you had to see me like this..." I said in my hoarse voice. I looked up again. To see him tear up... I pursed my lips... Its my fault he's crying... I want to die already...
"No... Never again..." Jason uttered.
Then, a pure white light enveloped me.
I looked up again at my Jason. Pure, white wings of light sprout forth from his back. His eye color turned to golden. Six wings of light covered us both.
I lost sense of time. As the light comforted me... Every waking moment was agony since 2 years ago. But now... All i feel is bliss...
I looked to my hand... I saw that they have returned to how they were... Young and beautiful~.
I looked to my right at the mirror. And saw that my gray hairs were no more. It even looked more luscious and healthy.
... But... How...
Is Jason...is he using a forbidden technique of some sort? Is he sacrificing anything in return for this healing? No! I must stop him!
"Jason! Please stop! Everything has a price! And if the price for this white light of healing will cause negative repercussions then i dont want it! Dont hurt your self for me i beg of you!".
