In Another Lifetime [Minchan]

Second Chance - 2

Cause I'm yours from then 'til now

---

Chan gripped on his horse, looking towards the entrance of the high mountain. He didn't wanna do this but Rino wanted him to. This is a possible way for him to find Minho in the future and fulfill Rino's last wish. He can change his past and his future.

But why was he still hesitating to go into the mountains to find the witch? Because he wanted to be there with Rino until his last breath. It felt empty doing this without Rino with him. He got so used to the fact that he is beside Rino, helping him with the kingdom work and spending time with him.

But now he is making another big decision. He isn't sure if the witch will really grant his witch, but he believes in wishes coming true as long as you come in peace. Rino is giving him his second chance to chase what his heart needed. To be with the same person in every universe.

"Once you enter the mountain... no matter what happens, do not look back. I might not stop myself from keeping you here... yet, I cannot do that because I am dying and I do not want to keep thinking I will watch you grieve over me when I am gone."

Rino's words rang through Chan's mind, though he still doesn't understand why Rino would do this. He has Chan and he loves Chan now, no more interruptions. But he still chose to gave Chan his secone chance to see Minho again after he had the opportunity to leave the world before Chan does.

With a deep breath, Chan led his horse into the mountains. He doesn't know where he is heading but the crystal will guide him just like what Rino said.

Thoughts were running into Chan's mind, he felt like crying. He's gonna leave Rhino while he was still yet alive, and not going to be able to be there until his last breath.

Rino stared at the book he wrote, it's the story of him and Chan. They were real events, yet it still felt like he has kept someone that could have been happier in the future him. And he was going to do what it felt right just so he can stop feeling guilty all his life.

His hands stroke through the paper as he wrote a letter. Was it for Chan? No. What it for Ally? No. But it was for the rightful person that Chan belongs to.

He wishes that he will take good care of Chan and never ever let him go. He wishes for him to love Chan with all his heart and treasure each other every day.

Rino felt his tears falling, he was gonna let Chan go. He was gonna let his first and last love walk to his future self. Knowing, he and Minho might not be the same in personality. But Minho was Rino and Rino is Minho. And he is going to give Minho the same. He will bring what's destined for Minho. It might not avoid the tragedies, but let the things here be with everyone who is them to be them in the future.

"Hyung... you called?" Jeongin came as he observed that Chan wasn't there and Rhino, their King is crying silently at his bed.

"Yes... can you please publish this for me when the time is right?" He asked Jeongin and handed the book after writing on the last page.

Jeongin took it slowly from the weak and ill King, bowing a little and staying beside him

"Yes, your majesty. I will do as you said." Jeongin slowly read the book from the beginning and glad that it's the revised story from what Minho told them.

Rino smiled softly and let the younger boy read the story. He saw the joy of the younger boy while reading. That's just what he needs... someone to like his work on making a love story about his childhood and his first love.
