21.Flashing Forward

✮Hyunjin's Pov✮

I try to run over to Felix who's passed out on the ground but Yeji stops me "Let go,I refuse for you to get in the way of me and Felix"

"Even if you try, it won't do no good,what's happening now is nothing but pure fate" Her voice is soft but her eyes are dark as she watches Felix. What's her issue? I thought employers were supposed to be nice to the ones that they hire? Did she drug him?

I doubt that because unless by touch,there's no way that she could have. "How do you know? He could be going through a medical emergency for all you know now let go. I will not let him die helplessly again if I can help it" I snap before realizing what I said "I mean he's had a allergic-"

"Save it Hyunjin,you think just because you haven't slipped up this far that you're good? No...It doesn't work that way. And the sheer fact that all this time you haven't seen what's been put in front of you. Think about it, your first hint is what we are wearing." What we are wearing?

I look down at the clothing to see the stamps of the Hwang's seals on the hem's of the sleeves but then as I look closer I see that both our outfits are the same ones that both Hwayoung and I wore at the wedding.

"Who are you? How do you know this information?" There's only 4 living everlastings left as far as Jisung knew which is,Minho,Jisung,Kangmin and Me. So if she's not one of them then what is she? I know whatever she is,she can deflect anything that I can throw her way.

She glances over at Felix's seemingly lifeless body before smirking a bit "You really don't know? Come on, don't tell me after maybe 400 or less years that you have forgotten me?" My blood turns cold as I look at her

"Hwayoung?" I mean it seems enough like her but I can't confirm or deny it at this point. I try to go back over to Felix but she stops me again.

"It took a bit of time for you to come to, or maybe my acting skills are a bit too good" She pulls me into a hug before I push her away.

"She's dead so tell me how you know that information?" A cold but playful laugh erupts from her before she settles on a spine chilling smile.

"Don't you ever wonder where the everlastings come from? Let me let you in on a secret brother" She leans in close to me before whispering "I am the one who created them and Kangmin's lover was only the start of the others"

"W-what?" I push up her sleeve of the hanbok to reveal no markings on either wrists until it blooms out like it was invisible ink before. I glance back up at her as I see that it travels all the way up her neck.

"What Jisung has been telling you is both a lie and the truth,you don't have have no knowledge of a everlasting in order to be one,it's if the bloodline lines up right which is why you were able to and it also means Yongbok should as well"

I crumble to my knees as Hwayoung pulls me close to her "I'm not a goddess or anything but I was naturally born that way, only within time do you learn what works and what doesn't."

"Was it mother's or father's blood line that has the gene for it?" I ask her before she helps me up slowly before she adjusts my hair a bit.

"Mother, she was a witch, father never had that lung condition until she died because she cursed him and I only helped her behind the scenes" She smirks "See here's the thing,we are willing to kill for the ones we love but otherwise we are calm"

Things are clicking more and more into place. "So are there certain ones that can turn someone else into an everlasting?" Just as I think everything is going right or I could have one moment of peace where some shit had to happen,this goes on.
