Chapter 3
“Do not be afraid.” She uttered again, as Shuhua stood before her, eyes blazing as Soojin knew that Soyeon was inside the girl, the Mistress kneeling down as she had a knife against her throat, kneeling down in front of many crowds of people, mortals who had caught her and got rid of everyone.
She was the only one that’s left.
“Don’t be afraid, Yeh Shuhua.” She uttered again, as the light in Shuhua’s eyes slowly faltered, turning back to the brown irises that Soojin had learned to love.
“Kill her, and you earn what you deserve. Spare her, and she will kill you, I am sure of that.” The man said, his cruel eyes staring at the two of them.
The knife pressed deeper into her throat, drawing blood as Soojin gritted her teeth, groaning with the pain that she felt as she gritted her teeth, trying hard to breathe.
“Sorry… Soojin…” Shuhua said, as she thrusted the knife upward, Soojin feeling a sharp pain on her throat that made her fall down, her mouth open as she felt the last embers of her life disappearing, as she looked up at Shuhua, who was crying, not noticing a knight behind her—
A sharp sword thrusted towards her chest, drawing back as she fell down, facing Soojin, those brown eyes slowly losing life as Soojin reached out, holding her already cold hand, their last bits of strength used up in holding each other, as darkness gave in to them.
One opened her eyes, looking horrified as she sat up, clutching the girl’s hand that was already cold, a figure of light standing between the two of them.
“I had forgotten that I was still in your body, Yeh Shuhua.” Soyeon said, mercy written all over her face as Shuhua cried silently, already hugging the dead Mistress in her arms, the blood staining her clothes as she looked up at Soyeon, who only stared at the scene.
“Please… kill me already…” Shuhua said, Soyeon shaking her head.
“I cannot perform such acts that are against my nature, Shuhua. I can tell you this; she will be reborn again, but that would be her last life. Find her, and spend time with her, and it would be your reward for helping her with her punishment.” Soyeon said, as Shuhua only looked at her, and nodded, hugging her beloved tight.
“I’ll find you… Soojin.” Shuhua said, as she felt immense light cover her, coating every inch of her body, slowly making her fall into unconsciousness.
“Are you even sure that she would be reborn again, or is it just you trying to help me have hope so you wouldn’t kill me?” Shuhua said, already living a century but still no sight of the girl she had wanted to see for a very long time.
“Don’t be impatient. I used up every bit of my luck to be reborn the same time as her, and this is my last life as well. These are our last lives, and I’m sure that we’ll meet her. Now, we’re going to be late, alright?” Soyeon said, as Shuhua nodded, remembering her identity for this life that she would have.
A Taiwanese trainee under Cube Entertainment, she remembered, as she tried hard not to mess up and remember the language that was taught to her, and walked across the halls of the entertainment building, not realizing that she was already lost, fear gripping her heart as she wandered around.
She resigned herself to finding a closest room to wait for Soyeon to find her, as she sighed, finding a room that was labeled vocal room.
Her heart stopped, widening her eyes as she saw a figure inside, a figure that she recognized the most, as she went inside, trying hard not to let herself give away what she truly is, as she sat down near the girl, the girl noticing her as she nodded, Shuhua nodding back.
“Hi… I’m Yeh Shuhua.” Shuhua said, trying hard to make it as if she didn’t speak the language, the girl smiling and nodding at her.
“Are you a trainee here?” Soojin said, but Shuhua knew that the words were advanced, so she feigned ignorance, the girl only laughing slightly at that, and Shuhua found herself falling in love even more.
“My name is Seo Soojin, nice to meet you.” Soojin said, a familiar smile in her eyes.
Eyes that Shuhua had wanted to find a very, very long time, as she held her hand to shake, smiling wide.
