Back in Stardom, JK sat with Tae in their private quarters, his heart heavy with the burden of the impending decision.

He watched tae affectionately, as she tended to their son's needs. Feeding him, making him wear clothes, humming songs to him, like she used to do for her flowers back on her planet. she put the sleeping baby in his bed and plants a loving kiss on his forehead.

the simple act of her, makes JK's heart clench in a painful way, knowing tonight is the last night for his baby to enjoy his mother's kisses.

Tae unknown of the turmoil that's happening inside jk, comes and hugs him while sitting on his lap and plants a sweet kiss on his lips.

Jk returns the kiss while holding tae closer to his chest, scared of losing his grip and tae vanishing in the air.

He took her hands in his, looking into her eyes, trying to memorize every detail, every moment.

"Tae," he began, his voice trembling, "there is something I need to tell you."

Seeing the anguish in his eyes, Tae's heart skipped a beat. "JK, what is it? You're scaring me."

He took a deep breath, steadying himself. "The Oracle's prophecy... it revealed a future where only Aelius and I remain. You were not there because... because we live for a thousand years, and you, as a human, cannot."

Tae's lips turn into a sad smile as her eyes well up, her grip tightening on his hands. "So, my prediction was indeed right?"

Jk's heart clenches painfully another time as he listens to his beloved's broken voice.

"There is a way to change this fate," JK continued, tears streaming down his face. "But it requires a great sacrifice. You would have to leave Stardom, your memories of us erased. You would return to Earth, live a normal human life, and die a natural death. But before you leave, you will leave a drop of your blood here, which the Oracle will use to reincarnate you as one of our kind. There is no certainty you would recognize us upon rebirth."

Tae's eyes filled with tears as she absorbed the weight of his words. "Forget everything? Us? Aelius? How can we bear this?"

JK's voice broke as he spoke. "I don't know. But if it means we can be together again, even if it takes lifetimes, then I have to believe it's worth it. I love you, Tae. Enough to make this sacrifice."

Tae sobbed, " no, I don't care if I am not gonna live long, but I wanna be here, no matter what happens, with you, with our son."

jk pulls tae in another embrace.

He knew tae wont agree. but he needs to do this.

He would sacrifice his love, to get her back in a distant future, where he and she will be together for their son.

tae starts hitting jk's chest as jk starts chanting the magical spell. tears drop down her eyes and wet the suit jk was wearing, yet he doesn't stop. his own voice broken from the weight of sadness, guilt and loneliness in his heart.

a few minutes into the chanting, and tae falls asleep in her husband's arms. A sound and peaceful sleep, with tears shining on her golden cheeks.

Jk kisses the tears away from her face and plants a long sweet kiss on her lips.

"Forgive me, my love, please forgive me"

Under the veil of a moonless night, JK arrived on Earth, the world silent and still around him.

He held Tae gently in his arms, her form peaceful in sleep, her memories of their time together erased. The journey had been long and heart-wrenching, but he had vowed to see this through, no matter the cost.

He approached the familiar house, the place where Tae had once lived with her parents. His heart ached with the memories of his love and when he saw her here for the first time, now lost to the cruel hands of fate. But within him, there remained a glimmer of hope—hope that one day, they would be reunited.

JK stepped quietly through the front door, making his way up the stairs to Tae's old bedroom.

The room was just as he remembered it, filled with the warmth and comfort that had once been her sanctuary. Gently, he laid her down on the bed, brushing a stray lock of hair from her face. For a moment, he stood there, taking in every detail, memorizing her features, the soft rise and fall of her breath.

"I love you, Tae," he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion. "Always."

With a heavy heart, he turned to Tae's parents' room. They lay asleep, unaware of the profound changes that had taken place in their lives.

Using his powers, JK carefully erased their memories of the past years, ensuring that when they awoke, they would remember only the time before Tae had left. It was as if she had never been gone, as if the last years had been nothing more than a fleeting dream.

Returning to Tae's room, JK knelt beside her bed. He took a deep breath, fighting back the tears that threatened to spill. Leaning in, he pressed a tender kiss to her forehead, his lips lingering for a moment as if trying to imprint his love into her very being.

"This isn't goodbye," he whispered, his voice breaking. "I'll find you again, no matter how long it takes."

Before leaving, JK placed a single red rose on her bedside table, its petals vibrant against the soft glow of the night. Beside it, he left a small, handwritten note. The words were simple, yet carried the weight of his unwavering love and determination.

"I will love you till the end of the Universe."
