My thumb caressed the small and rough stone in my hand as I was absentmindedly staring at the turquoise lake in front of me, a scenery which I haven't seen before but yet it was able to give me the comfort I was seeking for.

My breath was still heavy, my mind still foggy, the sweat drops on my temples were slowly drying as the soft late summer already autumn breeze stroke my face and dried the tears on my face but my heart was still pounding and spreading through my skull.

My fingers around the stone were shaking from what just happened inside the house. It took my live away for a second but filled me with the oxygen I left in 1819, it was as if the universe gave me my life back, pumped my heart with blood again and made it start racing just when our eyes have met.

Flashback

When I opened my eyes to him my heart fell into my stomach, along with the heavy tears escaping my eyes after the other, my lips parted but not a single sound was able to leave my lips, I closed my mouth but my lips parted again while staring at every inch of the face I was dreaming and breathing for only to see it one more time in my life, for a face I thought I would die with the memories deeply engraved into my heart.

The tears wouldn't stop falling it was then when I realized I lost the control of my body.

This can't be real? Can it? Can this be real?

My eyes traveled around his dark eyebrows slowly down to the dark irises, the same intense alluring eyes and the same heart shaped lips.

My lips escaped a shaking whimper, a wince, I was gasping for breath as I unbelievably stared at every inch of his face with only one question ringing inside my head.

How is that possible?

Afraid that this was also one of those countless dreams of yearn and longing, without realizing I suddenly lifted my hand, chest heavily heaving up and down as his dark eyes followed silently my moves without any expression.

I slowly brought my hand closer to his cheek, my fingers were twitching almost paralyzed to touch him, to feel him once again before he disappears into my dream.

His dark eyes slowly followed the trace of a tear leaving my eye, with his eyebrows furrowed he carefully watched the tear falling on my lip, his eyes rested for a second on my lips, my heart was hammering against my chest

uncontrollably, I couldn't breathe when his eyes left the tear on my lip and slowly travelled up to

my eyes.

Brown met brown

And this time,

The clock stopped ticking and time stopped running, along with my heart which stopped beating

Because I saw him for a second time in this lifetime.

He glanced at my hand which was only millimeters away from his face meeting my blurry vision again, I gulped because it was starting to feel vivid, much realer than a dream could ever feel like.

A door suddenly crashed open and made me flinch roughly, as if the bubble I have created for myself bursted and pulled me out of this trance, the fine line between dream and reality, The dangerous bridge of wanting to reach the reality but afraid of slipping and falling from the bridge which was the dream, waking up and realizing that the reality is again far from this dream I'm holding onto.

"What's going on ?" I slowly moved my neck towards the female voice while blinking and feeling the tears slowly streaming down my cheeks as I stared at her blankly, unable to proceed I could only stare at her.

I felt something getting ripped out of my chest, I couldn't almost feel my legs anymore.

When she moved her body closer to his my hand fell weakly on my side, my fingers clenched slowly into a fist as I took a step back, my eyes widened slowly, my breath got stuck while staring at her, unable to look at him.

"Who the fuck are you ?!" She glared at me while my chest rose and something broke inside my chest, when I lifted my eyes to look at him I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, I shuddered while biting on my lip to prevent myself from looking at him.

"Ara calm down, she is not feeling well right now so you better watch your words" Jennie said with an angry tone.

I pressed my lips together while trying to understand everything I saw in the past few seconds but I just couldn't, as if someone's hand was trying to choke me, I wasn't able to breathe.

It was her,

The girl who has just entered this room was her,

Princess Aera of Jeonsan.

End of flashback

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"I'm not insane" I tried to make myself feel better while pulling my knees towards my body and resting my head against them.

"I'm not getting crazy" I whispered while hitting my fist against the gras I was sitting on.

"Don't call me like that, what is this name even ? I'm a Jung Hoseok and Hobi or what ever his name is, is my reincarnation."

His voice suddenly ringed in my ear and I immediately lifted my head while staring at the lake, with shaking knees I slowly stood up and walked towards the vivid turquoise lake.

I kneeled down and bended my upper body until I saw my own reflection on the surface of the lake.

Could it really be?

Or was it me going insane?

"The hidden creatures might pull you inside, be careful pretty girl" I shrieked when someone almost pushed me inside the lake, his laugh started filling the peaceful area while I was breathing heavily and pushing his hands off my arm as I was glaring at his grinning face.

His grin slowly died down as he sat next to me and tilted his head to the side.

"What is it hmn? You have that little something in your eyes" In circle motions he pointed at my eyes which made me flinch and move my body backwards it was right at this moment when my eyes met his reflection on the surface of the lake.

My lips parted while shifting my eyes towards him and back to his reflection.
