"With Kai gone, what are you planning to do?" Sora spoke in a husky voice over his phone.
"Watch his performance maybe." Yue replied as she stares at the portrait of Ying Yue and Qi Kai which she brought earlier. "Anyways, Looks like you have asked Ai on a Date!" Yue exclaims before continuing "She has always loved you, Sora. Take good care of her-"
"What about you?" Sora cuts in between before she could finish. "Sacrificing everything just for a history?. How are you fine after doing something like that!?" He grumps over phone. "I... Don't Remember" Yue caught her breath before replying. "Do you want me to take you back to the past then" "Sora! Don't!" A faint yells comes from Yue.
"Sacrificing Love is very easy for someone who don't values it" Sora cuts his call without planning to hear a response from Yue.
'Sora... The name I don't want to hear as it only reminds of decisions I made in the past.
Kai... The name I love to hear and I never get tired of. My Lover in the past, present and in the future. That Day...'
(Past Life)
(Before Marrying Kai and confessing her love to Sora)
"Sora, What do you think about the future?" Ying Yue asks Sora while gently braiding her hair in front of a pond. "Future?! I'll make you and Qi Kai marry. that's it!" He picks up fruits from the tree. "Future in the sense, two or three centuries after!" Yue corrects him. "Maybe I'll be reborn. Isn't that obvious?" He chuckles.
"Will I still be your friend?" Sora was shocked by her question. On the verge of confessing her love depending on his answer. "I'll always be your friend, Yue!" The reply gave birth to the snow in spring time because of Yue's emotions. Ability no. 10- Weather controlling. "Snow in Spring?" Sora wonders before walking out from the garden.
'Yue, I lied. I lied to the question you asked earlier. I definitely don't want to be your friend in the future!' As a faint blush occured, Sora continued walking. 'I want to be more that friends' "Sora. have you seen Yue?" His thoughts were interpreted by Kai's call. "She's by the pond. Should I call her?" A gentle, kind response from a guardian to his master. "Thank you Sora but I'll find my wife by myself!" Qi lets out a smile before walking to the pond, leaving Sora wander alone. That's when Sora was hit by the reality, all the fantasies he had in his mind was shattered in a minute when he heard the word 'wife' from Kai. As Kai made his way towards Yue, he was breath taken by Yue, sitting under the cherry blossom tree with the snow falling. He couldn't help himself yet stare at her from afar.
Yue was completely heartbroken by Sora's response. She had mixed emotions of everything. She kept questioning herself of what was happening to her. The past, The future, everything made her go sane until a soft hands covered her eyes from the back. Slowly examining the structure of the hand, she knew who it was. "Master Kai!" As she says, while removing his hands from her gaze. "How did you know it was me?" Being confused, Kai asked. "I know your hands damn well, Kai!" She gracefully chuckles at Kai's question. Kai loved looking at Yue chuckling. The eternity was paused between them for a moment as they had a good time with each other. From the above, Sora quotes to himself
"You are forever meant to be with Kai, Yue. It was never us." A hot droplet of tear flowed down from his eyes. Yue suddenly had a vision of the future where Sora vanishes away after delivering the letter and meeting him again in her original self.
"Even if the stars aren't favour for us, let us stay together as friends Sora. Being close with you as a friend is thousand times better than cuddling with you as a girlfriend." Unspoken words of truth said by each other's hearts to themselves.
(Present)
While being lost in her own neverland, a text popped up in Yue's phone. "Have you eaten?" A word of concern from Kai to which her eyes sparkled with happiness. "Yes! Have you?" Without a second thought, she texted back. Even though it has been five days since Kai has texted her, Yue put all her ego away and made the move. "Intense practice. Skipped Dinner :/" She felt worried for Kai who was in a tough spot. Yue wanted to brighten up Kai's spirit so she decided to send an image.
"An image?" Kai mumbled to himself as he opened it. Past flashed before his eyes. Tears started flowing out from his eyes as he was soaked in sweat and tears. Tears of Joy. Tears of Love. Tears of Jubilant. "Thank you for finding me in the present and falling in love with me like in the past, Yue." with the text and wiping away his tears, he danced with ecstasy during his rehearsal.
The image Yue sent was an old painting of Ying Yue and Qi Kai's marriage, 470 BC with a text "Our perfect past"
That day, Yue realised the one she loved the dearest has always been Kai.
