Facing the Past

It wasn't known what was discussed between Yyan and the couple but by the time it ended, both parties looked solemn.

Yyan immediately headed to check on Yue.

In the middle of room was a large bed and in it was Yue peacefully sleeping.

She looked weak and pale just like the day she fell from the stairs.

Yyan sat by her side.

He noticed the sniper long before she does but didn't expect her to move faster than he is.

He felt her desperation to save him from harm during that time.

When Yue had taken the bullet, instead of pain, what he saw in her eyes was relief- like her whole life was dedicated only for him.

Yyan knew by that time he had completely fallen.

But what happens when his whole world was almost stolen? All the grievances accumulated by the Crest family all through the years, the demon that dwells in his heart regained freedom.

When the demon was released, Yyan's rationality evaporated into nothingness and he was filled with raw brutality.

But amidst of all the craziness, an existence remains to guide him back to being himself again.

He was lucky he managed to regain his senses because Yue was still alive. Now he knew why his father had gone berserk during that year. It was the year that almost swallowed his whole family into total destruction.

"Young master" the arrival of Ruyi cut off Yyan's thoughts.

"Make sure no one will be able to harm her" If she wasn't the pearl on the palm of his hand then who is. Yyan regrets to leave her during this time but there are things that he needed to do first.

"You can leave the cleaning to us young master and just rest with young miss" Assistant Yi voiced out his opinion. He knew he was out of the line but he still worries about the health of his young master.

"I want to personally clean everything up before Yue wakes up" Yyan said with finality.

Assistant Yi can only agree.

Everywhere was darkness.

Did she die again?

Huh, someone is calling her, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

Why was she crying? What made her sad?

Yue can feel how that person cares for her, how brokenhearted she is while calling out her name.

But who is she?

After that silence once again reigns.

Then a person appeared in front of her.

That person was like a relic of long ago- it was Yue herself.

Why does she make it sound like she's old, meh. But her memories about her past are becoming blurry as days goes by, especially since it seems like she just disappeared like she didn't exist in the first place. If not for the same name and the existence of her enemy, she would gladly move forward and never look back.

The Yue of the past opened her mouth to speak ."You seem to be happy with your new life"

"I'm satisfied, we're are finally able to live the life we want" Yue had the face full of contentment.

"That's right, the life we want. But why are you willing to throw our life for him?" "Yue" tilted her head like an inquisitive child.

Yue was quiet for a while.

"Alright, there's no need to ponder much about it, you will eventually know. He has always been-"

The Yue of the past didn't manage to finish her sentence before disappearing.

"You said she would wake up in 24hrs. It's been three days, where do you find the time to joke with me Cajun?" Yyan confronted his friend. He finished his business as soon as possible only to return hearing a bad news.

"There should be nothing wrong with her body. I already checked thrice for any sign of abnormalities but nothing could be found. Unless the person herself doesn't want to wake up" Cajun was unfazed even under Yyan's strong presence. He did nothing wrong so why would he feel guilty.

"Then, is it possible that she regained her memory and chose to-" sleep forever. Yyan doesn't even want to think about it.

"Well that is a possibility, or there maybe some psychological things going on. If we could monitor her brain waves maybe we'll be able to determine what caused her deep sleep" there was a rise in Cajun's tone.

Yyan knew that his friend found an interesting subject out of Yue.

Even if Yyan knew about it, he might still allow Cajun to perform whatever test he wanted as long as it could help Yue to wake up, as long as it will not harm her.

Yue felt awkward.

She had long regained consciousness but before she could open her eyes she heard the conversation between her brother and his friend.

But then she can't let herself be a subject of experimentation so she pushed herself to "wake up".
