Just Like Magic

"What?!"

Minho exclaimed as he looked at Gyuri in shock. Gyuri looked away with a sigh before she nodded again

"He was my older twin. I lost him because of our parents. Everything fell apart when they decided to kill me for some ritual stuff. They killed me infront of Han which traumatised him for life. How I know that? I became a lonely spirit, watching how my brother suffered while I could do nothing. That's when I went to the moon goddess and begged her for a second life. She said that my appearance will change and so will be my identity. I would no more be a warlock unless Han remembers the past and undoes a very strong spell which I don't want him to. Surprisingly my hair remained indigo blue like my brother's hair. And since we were twins, we both were cheerful, bright and funny. That's why I can be cheerful, bright and funny whenever I want. It's within me."

Gyuri stated as her eyes watered. She hated the fact that the only person she had in the world didn't remember her. Not only that but she hated how twisted their fates were. Minho looked down as he realized how much Jisung had gone through in the past and felt bad for how Jisung and Gyuri ended up

"I... I am sorry you had to go through that..."

Minho whispered as Gyuri laughed a bit while wiping her tears away

"Don't be. Even Chris oppa and Changbin oppa don't remember me."

Gyuri stated as Minho froze. He never expected Bang Chan or Changbin to know Gyuri

"H-How do they know you?"

Minho asked as Gyuri laughed even more, making him worried now

"They were friends and protectors of Han from a very young age. After my death they lost connection with him. Maybe my father made them forget me but that's not the case here. They knew that Han disappearing so suddenly was very fishy. That's when they searched for him and after three god damn years they found him. Han's condition was really bad when the two of them found him. My father had experimented on him too much. It didn't affect his ability to do spells but it affected his visions. He started having visions in a delayed time which messed his mental health. After that I don't know what happened because I wasn't in this universe."

Gyuri stated as she stopped laughing and looked at the ground with numb eyes

"What do you mean? How come you weren't in this universe?"

Minho asked as Gyuri sighed deeply and then looked at him

"The multi verse does exist like those avenger movies. In the universe we were in, you guys were singers. There was no magic there. But the world wasn't at peace even without magic. So many wars would take place. We managed to get back here through a forbidden spell Hana and Danbi unnie used to create a portal back to this universe. And how we even ended up there? Apparently it was the same man I once called my father who casted a forbidden spell upon us four and we ended up there."

Gyuri explained as Minho didn't know how to react but continued listening to Gyuri

"We were stuck there for some good amount of years. It was few weeks ago when we found our way back here. We explored the places to refresh our minds and here we are."

Gyuri ended as Minho sighed and looked at the scenery behind him to collect himself

"Do you have something to share? Something which no one knows. So that maybe I could understand you and know you better?"

Gyuri asked as that was what Minho wanted to tell but he didn't know how to express it. Gyuri understood that Minho needed time so she waited patiently

"I... I hate when people call me prince."

Minho mumbled but Gyuri heard it. She listened to him attentively

"They call me that when I am being honest or sharing what I feel. Is it wrong to share how you feel or telling the truth?"

Minho asked as he blinked back his tears. He refused to cry

"It's not wrong. But I think that they don't like the way you say it. To you the way you say it may sound normal but to them it may sound harsh or sarcastic."

Gyuri stated as Minho kicked the concrete railing

"If that's the case then I won't share my opinions anymore. I won't speak at all."

Minho stated as Gyuri sighed and put a comforting hand on him

"Don't be like that you know. Once they get to know you well, they will understand and realize that it's just the way you are."

Gyuri stated with a smile as Minho sighed and looked away

"Do I look mean? Or am I mean in any way?"

Minho asked while looking down as Gyuri shook her head

"You are neither mean nor look mean oppa. People shouldn't say such things."

Gyuri stated as Minho laughed a bit

"They make shitty rumours about me saying that I am mean and cold. They even say that I am pretty and intimidating that's why everyone does what I say or obey to me."

Minho stated as that was something which none of his teammates, groupmates or friends knew. He always kept everything to himself so that people wouldn't know how much these things affected him

"Does anyone know about how you really feel?"

Gyuri asked as Minho shook his head. Gyuri realized that Minho needed someone to rely on

"You can always rely on me and share me anything okay oppa?"

Gyuri stated as Minho smiled gently and nodded. The two of them soon left and went their own ways. It was a long night for Danbi though

This is for those who think that Minho is cold or mean. Think how would he feel everytime when he has to hear this. Hopefully people will understand that he is human too and he is neither cold nor mean but rather he is kind and sweet. It's just the way that he shows love and care in a different way

Edit- I am really sorry guys, I don't think I will be uploading the chapter for Midnight Rain today because the soles of my feet hurts like a bitch- I did 108 (probably more) rounds around the Lord Buddha's temple so yeah but it was worth it
