It feels entirely insane to say there's only one chapter left 💔

Right after that Jeongin took his leave. He felt he did a great job, the damage was done and his presence wasn't needed anymore.

Not that it was before that anyway.

"Tell me that..." 

Minho wrung his hands together as he tried to find his wording. If Minho knew in advance that any of this would happen then maybe...he would've thought twice about summoning the male. "-That this was all just a really bad joke."

He looked to Jisung, internally hoping and praying that he'd say this entire day was fake. That this whole ordeal was some practical kind of joke.

"I can't." Jisung stepped forward to try and reach for him but the other would just take a step back. "Minho-" He sat on the couch, curling in on himself slightly as he sat.

"So what does this mean?" 

He clasped his hands together on his lap, "You were faking it? Every single day that you've been with me has been a lie?" Minho was of course still terribly upset but now that was all being washed away by his insecurity.

What did he do wrong? Why wasn't his love reciprocated?

"No! No, no, that's not it!" Jisung dropped in front of Minho, grabbing his hands and holding them tightly. "Just listen to me, okay?"

"But that's the thing...I don't know if I can hear you  anymore without feeling like you're lying to me."

Jisung sighed, dropping his head on Minho's hands. "Min, please. If I could go back and change what I've done before I would but right now I need you to listen." He held his hands tightly, abnormally they were warm, not a hint of coldness at all.

"I'll start by saying that when you first summoned me...we weren't bonded."

Minho swallowed thickly, wanting to interject and just scream out his frustrations but he kept it to himself. He remembered that day clearly, being bonded was among the first words Jisung had ever said to him.

"But I marked you!" 

Jisung quickly spoke up when he saw the saddened pout adorning his face. He reached up and pulled the collar of his sweater down, showing the small tattoo shaped as a heart resting on the base of his neck. 

"I didn't at first but when I...got to know you I did."

Minho controlled his breathing, in and out to help calm himself. "Okay but I still don't get it. There wasn't any reason to lie about that."

There was a lot Minho didn't know and now looking back at it there wasn't much Jisung could do but explain.

"Um- let's start from the beginning?" 

He looked up at the human, giving him a small smile that was barely returned. "So that book you used to summon me? It was originally made in my realm to teach the younger generation."

Jisung moved to sit cross legged, still holding onto the male's hands. "I don't know how but the book was transferred here and you humans got your hands on it." It was an extremely long story that Jisung would never go deep into, he'd be there all day.
