Chapter 353 - 11.45
[Pupa: Ding! A hidden plot has been triggered! Loving You with Two Hearts.]
[Wha—Two hearts?]
[Pupa: There is no time for a hidden plot, we need to leave right now!]
[Ehh… what's the hurry? Remember that golden chain, Jinshe, is actually my pet? She said that she will let me escape this world without worry.]
Yunyu didn't understand Pupa's restlessness, as if it was afraid of something. Pupa hurriedly set up the transmigration to jump out of this world. Lee Yongsun darted his eyes at this floating orange thing that stood beside Yunyu.
Lee Yongsun chuckled mirthlessly. With a dark gaze, he glared at Pupa, "What's the hurry? Are you that eager to escape me, wife?"
Yunyu jolted when Lee Yongsun suddenly called him. Yunyu followed's Lee Yongsun's line of sight. He was surprised when Lee Yongsun was staring at Pupa as if he could see Pupa, which was supposed to be invisible to anyone but Yunyu.
[Is it just my imagination, or Lee Yongsun is looking at you?]
[Pupa: It's not your imagination! He can see me! That's why I escape!]
[NANI!?]
"Why are you surprised? Wife, you and I have been bound by the sacred devil's contract. We are connected to each other, of course. I know that floating orange familiar beside you," Lee Yongsun glared at Pupa, who was busy setting up the transmigration as quick as possible.
"Are you going to escape with that floating orange familiar?" Lee Yongsun asked.
"I…"
"As expected, no matter how much I love you, you will always find a way to run away from me," Lee Yongsun gritted his teeth. His devil fang started protruding, and his devil's eyes flickered, giving an intimidating aura around him.
Lee Yongsun's devil horns started to grow from his head, and a pair of wings stretched out on his back.
"No matter how much I've sacrificed for you, you still try to escape from me," Lee Yongsun had a smirk on his face, and his eyes showed a hint of anger and obsession. "You are the reason for my suffering, but you are also the only one I ever loved in my centuries of life."
Yunyu got scared for real because he was used to Lee Yongsun's gentle and careful nature when taking care of him. But when he got angry like this, it made Yunyu tremble in fear.
"T—There is a misunderstanding here, I'm trying to leave you, I—"
"That's what you said before, and that's when you lie to me." Lee Yongsun snipped. "You are the most heartless human I've ever seen in my two lives, Han… or should say, Bai Yunyu."
Yunyu froze when Lee Yongsun suddenly mentioned his real identity. He didn't understand what really happened, from Lee Yongsun who killed Jay, Lee Yongsun who had the ability to see Pupa, and Lee Yongsun who knew his real name.
Lee Yongsun chuckled at Yunyu's reaction. It was quite unexpected because Lee Yongsun thought Yunyu still remembered the horrible thing he did to him back then. "I remember everything after I swallowed Im Jaehwa's heart. Turns out, we have been entangled for two lives. And after I have recovered all my memories, I know that your real name is Bai Yunyu, not Kim Haneul."
"Do you not remember? Then I will show you what you did to me back then."
Lee Yongsun flicked his finger, and Yunyu blacked out suddenly. It took a moment until Yunyu's vision returned. He blinked few times, and the first thing he saw was Jay with a bright smile on his face. Jay held his hand tightly and said, "Yunyu Hyung, I will make you happy in the future. I will make sure that we will have a better future together!"
He smiled at Jay and nodded, "I believe you, Jay."
Yunyu realized that his face in this vision given by Lee Yongsun was identical to his real face and also real name.
Yunyu was basically playing as himself with Han here. They were dating like a pair of a loving couple, and they persevered against the hardship of vicious idol industry together as a pair. And in this world, they were not in a group. They were just a duo instead.
After they slowly gain fans, they started to get more money. Though it was far from adequate for comfortable living, it was enough for them.
Until Jay suddenly got a solo project, and his solo song actually charted up high. It made Jay suddenly became locally famous, and then soon, nationally famous soloist.
"Yunyu Hyung! I will invest all my money in real estate and other businesses! So we can live a comfortable life after we retire," Jay said excitedly. Even after years of hardship together and a few years after Jay took off as one of the most popular soloists of the generation, his love for Yunyu Hyung never dissipate.
He still loved his reliable Yunyu Hyung, just like the first day he confessed.
But it was Yunyu Hyung who started acting strange and suspicious.
He started leaving their apartment often and disappeared for the whole day. Sometimes returned with a strong cigarette smell. Which made Jay suspicious, but he still believed in his Yunyu Hyung.
When Jay was privately announced as the winner of the Daebak Award for solo artist, he thought of coming out to the masses during his winning speech later. He wanted to announce his relationship with Yunyu Hyung.
But before the winner was announced, there was a sudden outrage on the internet. Where a sex video between two men was leaked. But one man's face was blurred, while the other was not.
And the one whose face didn't get blurred was… Im Jaehwa.
The sudden outrage calling Jay nasty gay, filthy, sinful, disgusting filled Jay's social media that forced Jay to deactivate his social media accounts. While his manager was trying to find the one who shared this.
Jay checked the video and saw that it was indeed him with Yunyu Hyung's blurred face. But this was a very private video between him and Yunyu Hyung, inside a phone that they only used for their private use.
They even permanently used the airplane mode, just to be sure.
So the only one who had access to this video was…
Jay's hand trembled as he pressed the buttons to call his Yunyu Hyung. His Hyung had disappeared again for a while, but Jay always trusted Yunyu Hyung. And when the call was connected, the first thing he heard was not a 'hello' or 'hi, Jay.'
'Umm… Ah! Ah! S—Slower, you are too—AHH!'
"…Hyung?"
Jay couldn't believe what he just heard. But when he listened to the continuous moan coming from his Yunyu Hyung, it made Jay finally realized that he couldn't lie to himself anymore.
Yunyu Hyung cheated on him.
"Hyung…"
"What? U—Ummhh… yes, Jay, I'm the one who shared that video because I don't like you to win that award. Now stop calling me because I'm busy!"
Yunyu coldheartedly hung up the call, leaving Jay with this lost feeling in his heart. He stared at the phone screen, showing his selfie with Yunyu Hyung, and tears dropped on his phone screen.
***
Yunyu Hyung sent out a location an hour later, telling Jay to come. Jay went to a mansion owned by an unknown man, and when he arrived at the gate, it seemed that someone had been waiting for him.
Jay was escorted to a huge room where the smell of cigars was really thick and made him nauseous. But he could see a man with great posture, horns on his head, with his devil wings stretched out. Which resembled a devil.
The devil was holding a handsome man in his mid-twenties in his embrace, "Hyung…" Jay called his Yunyu Hyung.
Yunyu glanced at Jay nonchalantly before kissing the devil and smirked, "Why are you so surprised, Jay? You've been working tirelessly every day, and I feel a bit lonely, so I find myself a companion."
Jay gnashed his teeth as he tried to hold his fury, "But I work for you! I work for our future!"
"You mean the bleak future in front of us? Hah! I don't want a future with your stupid ideals! You think we will be okay as long as we are together? Your head is truly above the cloud!" Yunyu replied sarcastically. He shifted his gaze at the devil and caressed his face gently, "I want the best in life. I want a comfortable life. Staying with my handsome devil is my choice, but sharing our private video is just out of spite because you are more successful than me."
Jay couldn't handle it anymore. He rushed to beat the devil, but the devil just flicked his finger, and Jay lost control of his body.
"I already make sure that your life in the entertainment industry has been ruined forever. You are a waste now," the devil said.
Jay's body was fully controlled by the devil. The devil made him walk to the balcony and climb the rail. And then, the devil released his control.
Jay was looking down at the concrete below. He was on the fifth floor of this huge mansion, and it was sure death.
He turned his head to look at his Yunyu Hyung. There was a trace of hope in his heart. With tears on his face, he asked Yunyu Hyung, "Hyung… is it fake? Your love to me, is it fake since the beginning?"
Yunyu looked away to avoid Jay's gaze and then replied, "It doesn't matter. I just know that you won't give me anything in the end. So I stay with someone better, someone who can take care of me."
"Hyung… if I die, will you be happy? You've ruined everything, you ruined my career, my future, and now, you've ruined my love."
"Whether you die or alive, I don't care. It is the least of my worry, Im Jaehwa."
…
Jay stared at his Hyung for the last time and had a smile on his face, "Hyung, even after what you did to me, why can't I hate you? Why is this love still in my heart?"
"Yunyu Hyung… I love you."
Jay closed his eyes and jumped from the balcony. His body got heavier as the speed of his fall increasing every second, and then… his body slammed against the concrete. Jay's body was absolutely unrecognizable, but he still retained his consciousness for few seconds.
Jay's consciousness slowly drifted out, and the last thing in his mind was his ruined dream with Yunyu Hyung.
…
'Im Jaehwa, are you angry? Sad?'
Jay heard someone was calling him. He looked around in this emptiness but found no one.
'You cannot see me right now, but I already see everything about your life. And I have one question, do you want to return to Bai Yunyu?'
Jay didn't understand what was happening, but when faced with that question, the answer was simple, 'Yes.'
'Do you want to return to Bai Yunyu but with the strength to bind him with you forever?'
'… Yes.'
'Then, I shall give you the power to do that, but you shall sacrifice yourself to me.'
A shadow appeared in front of Jay. The shadow had a horn and the devil's wings, 'I am the envoy from God HanYe. The god that created us. I will give you such power to meet Bai Yunyu again, but with a different body. But your current body as Im Jaehwa will still have his deep love for Bai Yunyu, so technically, you will love Bai Yunyu with two bodies.'
'Isn't that the best? If Bai Yunyu cheat on you with one, at least you will have him with your other body.'
'You will not remember about anything, but the moment you see Bai Yunyu again, you will know that your heart is calling.'
'And God HanYe has a mission for you. You must bind and ruin Bai Yunyu in your side forever. Don't you love Bai Yunyu?'
'Yes, I do…'
'Then sacrifice yourself to me, close your eyes and accept your new body.'
Jay closed his eyes, and that was the last moment of him becoming 'Im Jaehwa.'
And he was now, Lee Yongsun, the devil.
