A construct of Heaven and Hell,
To make humans good.
Torment to atone for sins,
To instill the sense of duty in beings.
An angel with a pretty face,
And a kind heart.
Would often draw closer to a forbidden fruit,
For the temptation is universal for all.
The beast caged within restraints,
Would crave the pleasure of Heaven yet again.

"Hyun-Ae's story is more complicated than just running away with Yeonjun or Yin for love... You see, souls do not understand human construct of relationships, and boundaries. It's often different for the immortal beings, their sense of understanding differs from those bound in Earthly values." Yeonjun said taking a seat and looking up to stare at the girl standing in front of him. His eyes moved to each of their faces, as he thought of Yeonjun for a moment and whether it was really his truth to tell or not. After a moment of consideration, he decided that it was high time for the truth to be out one way or the other even if it might not be the ideal situation.

The Universe was in chaos and Magic Shop was doing everything to tame it, now it was their duty to do their part, and most importantly, Yin, Yang and Hyun-Ae's duty to grow up and own up to their deeds and feelings. After all, they had been so strong that it almost crumbled the order of Universe into series of calamities, disrupting the calm and angering all forces.

The others for a change, all looked at Soobin patiently although they felt a great sense of impatience clutching on to them. There was no better way to get to the bottom of this faster so it was important to let him finish first.

"Hyun-Ae belonged to the order of Angels who had their own specific domains and duties. She nurtured souls, provided care and healing." He smiled a little and looked at her with a soft gaze. "You were always kind, full of love to give and honestly, some things never change."

The girl's eyes widened a little when she realised what Soobin was actually saying and honestly the compliment did melt her heart providing some warmth. "...But?" She asked the necessary question.

Soobin sighed and looked away before continuing, "You fell in love with not an angel but a being completely different. But you know that part, you know it all... But what you don't know," he looked back, into her eyes, " You failed to recognise Yeonjun truly. You naturally saw the good in him, but failed to see the darkness which is inherently present in every being... I guess, that was your own darkness?" He chuckled a wry one at the end, figuring it's not a good joke, but an accurate one to say the least. "Yeonjun obviously fell in love with you but recognising that you only had love for his goodness, he selfishly refused to recognise his own shortcomings and grew detached with himself. Yin disowned his Yang... Because you only wanted Yin."

Soobin was about to explain further but was interrupted by Hyun-Ae as she abruptly gasped loudly and and put a hand on her forehead. "Oh my god they're one! How could I not understand? I... I... Love them both... Because... They're one person. One soul!" She exclaimed finally coming to realisation of the whole truth. No doubt she felt the undeniable connection to Yang despite forcing herself not to. Soobin was right! It was her own darkness to reject Yeonjun's darkness. Yin could never be without Yang and Yang could never be without Yin.

The visions, everything, they always only ever conveyed a half story. Yang was never the villain in her story, but he could have been the victim. What if Hyun-Ae was the villain all along? What if she never realised how much damage she caused just because she was blinded by the light? She self sabotaged herself and in that process Yeonjun.

She couldn't help but feel tears pricking the corners of her eyes. To think that Yeonjun went through so much hurt just to be by her side. He stripped himself off his whole identity only to settle for one side of himself. He loathed himself, just to be with his Jagiya, his Angel. He sacrificed so much, yet, she was the one who thought they suffered just as much together. It was never her. It was always him who suffered and it was... Her fault that not only she suffered himself but most importantly Yeonjun did and that too, with a smiling face and no malice for her... Partly.

She had to fix this.

"I... Need hot cocoa." Taehyun muttered needing some time to wrap his head around all this new information dump.

"I'll join." Said Kai almost slumping to the floor needing a time out himself.

"I'll... Just-" Beomgyu picked up a cushion and stuffed it over his face letting out an inaudible scream.

A/n: Hi, how are you all? :')

I just wanted to say- even if no one is reading this anymore and have given up on me. I have made a pre new year's resolution that I will complete this book in 2023 itself.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! ❤️⭐💚
