9 The Real Identity
"What happened?"seoyeon turned to look at the direction he looks and also saw the group of 12 before recognising the twin within the group."huh? Is not that the twin? Wait all these people..."she furrowed her eyebrows trying to remember those people then she flicked her fingers excitedly.
"They're all famous people! The man with stylist hairstyles is Daren. His real name is unknown. he's a model."she pointed at the man with stylist clothing. Before turning to the girl with blue hair besides the model. "That's an award winning actress. She was nominated for every movies she's in. She goes by the nickname aquarius. Her identity is also unknown." She suddenly realised that half the people there has an unknown real identity. She scratched her neck as she introduced the 3rd girl.
"The pink haired girl is a singer. Her songs was chosen as the most popular songs in many countries. She goes by the stage name Arie." She looks at the man in formal suit before exclaimed in awe." Oh my god! That person in black suit is the CEO of a really big company that just started 10 years ago. He brought his company that he just bought from bankruptcy to the highest peak in the first few months he took over the company!" Her mouth opened "his name is CEO Tao."
"This is amazing! Even the minister is here! Mr Corey is the most important person in the King's country. The king choose him himself to serve the country." She gestured at a woman with glasses.
"That's the game developer of zodiac fighters. The one that was popular nowadays. However she refused to use her real name and asked to be called virgo." She turned to the man besides virgo who looked expressionless.
"That one with tight face,"she rubbed her chin."I don't really know about him what I now is he's a doctor. But if the doctor was like that I bet many patients going to die in fear,"she giggled.
"I don't know the other two," she sighed then moved her gaze onto a man with a stern face."I think that one is a lawyer. There's almost no case that he couldn't win even if his client is the one guilty."she squinted her eyes while scoffed at the sight of the lawyer. She turned to the man besides her and saw the man confused face while he furrowed his eyebrows together.
"They all look familiar,"he said while he closed his eyes tightly with a pained expression on his face. He suddenly grunted as he held his head and flopped down onto the ground. She got caught in shock and hastily hugged the man who breathed hard with both his palms clutched his head harshly. Her tears flowed down unexpectedly when she saw the man's face who was in great pain. As she hugged the man, she felt the man get weakened then his body went limp in her hugs. She fell onto the ground with the man's unmoving body on hers.
"Kuro," the man said weakly before he fainted. She was still stunned as she saw kuro running out from the cafe with a worried face.
"Master!" He picked the fainted man and helped the girl to get up."what happened to him?" He asked the girl as they ran insides to the cafe.
"He just said that those people looks familiar to him then he was in pain before he passed out," she sobbed while she wiped her tears that went down her cheeks. She opened the cafe door and lead kuro into the staff room.
"What happened? What's with him?" Shin who was still serving the orders turned to look at them when he saw kuro was carrying the silver haired man. He hurriedly went to look from the staff room's door curiously.
"He fainted." Kuro answered while his hands tucked his master on a bed before covering him with a blanket.
"Thank goodness you come to us, kuro," she sat on the edge of the bed before tilted her head in shock."how did you know we're there?"
"He called me," he answered calmly before he tidied his clothings then excused himself to go out and help shin. The girl just nodded while her eyes never leaves the unconscious man. She gently caressed the man's hair as she thought about the 12 people. Including the twin.
"I wonder who he really is. Why did he said all those people looks familiar. And the twin too. if he said they all looks familiar. How did he know them?"she thought to herself."did kuro know them?" She turned to the closed door. She shook her head before she gets up from he bed and went to the door.
She saw Shin was making a drink while kuro was serving the customers with a smile pasted on his attractive face. Shin saw her after he finished making the drink.
"Boss,what exactly happened to him?"he asked curiously as his hand skillfully draw out a tray then put the drink there before he took a muffin out from the display refrigerator and put it on the same tray. He took the tray then placed it on the order counter.
"He remembered something. You know how hurt it is to remember something when you lost your memory don't you?" She replied to his question while she eyed kuro."shin do you think you can handle alone for a little while?" The youth looked at his boss before nodded.
"There's not that many customers anymore,"
"Great. I'm borrowing kuro for a bit," kuro was walking towards the counter to send the order but before he could reach the counter he saw shin took the order and walked to the table. He tilted his head as he looked at the girl who comes to him with a curious face. She walked to him then pulled him by the wrist upstairs. She unlocked the VIP room then continue to pull him onto the balcony. She sat down on the only table gesturing him to sit in front of her.
He sits down as he stared at the girl curiously. The girl leaned forward on the table and supported her head with her hands clasped together. She curled her lips silently as her gaze never leaves the man with the dark purple hair. Kuro raised his right eyebrow.
"What's with you?"he asked as he scoffed at the girl then his expression turns to disbelief."you can't possibly fall for me, right?" The girl face twitched then looked at the man scornfully.
"I've already fallen for your master. Do you think you're that attractive than your master? Dream on!" She replied angrily.
"Then what possibly is the reason for you to pulled me from downstairs to here? moreover in this private VIP room with no other people insides," he leaned back onto the chair looking more relaxed.
"I want to ask you about him. I thought maybe you really do know him. Along with those people who just comes out of here." She watched his reactions seriously however the man doesn't displayed any shock showed that her thoughts was right.
"How should I say this," he shifted on his chair before he closed his eyes."you've already know that we're both gifted with immortality. I don't know if you believed me or not. However it is the truth. The world is full with unknown entity that even the God himself still could be classified unknown entity." She observed and listened to him attentively.
"To be honest I don't really know who he really is but I do found out a bit from those people. I can sense their immense power even though they do tried to hide it." He furrowed his eyebrows before continuing to speaks with closed eyes.
"They addressed him as his Highness. Which means he must be some sort of king or prince that they've been searching for a long time. Maybe he's gone missing all of the sudden and they, who might be his familiars have to went out to search for their master. That's what I could conclude from what I saw," he opened his eyes then sighed. "I want to ask them straight on but if he doesn't want to know there's no way I can ask,"
She sighed as she looks at the man before her.
"So they're people like you? All those famous people?"she saw the man nodded slightly.
"I can be like them and becomes idol's like that twin if I want to but I appreciate a calm and free life just like now."he looks at the tranquil night and stared at the stars scattered on the black sky.
"So they're all one of the unknown entity?"she asked again to clarify the questions.
"No. They were all cursed. They're not like me who was born as those mystery. That's why I could sense their power even when they were hiding it."
"Wait you said they're cursed?"
"Yes. Black magic. The person who cursed them did some black magic rituals and thus they gained the curse. The person who ran the ritual automatically became their master and they have to heed all his order. No matter what."
"So you're saying. Tae is also an unknown entity who did the rituals on all those people? That's why they came here to bring their master back?" She felt her eyes became teary when she said the last sentence."no! I don't want to..." She shook her head violently.
"Little girl, you and him is in a different world. It wouldn't change no matter what you do. Both of you would still be separated because of this fact." He looked at her sadly."I know my master must've been sad too if he knows this but there's no way he could stay here. Moreover I could sense a hidden danger in him."
She couldn't hear anything he said anymore as she started to cry her heart out.
"I have to let you know first so that you wouldn't get hurt later." He stood up," you better supressed all your feelings for him and try to forget it all. I'm sure he'll totally stay away from you if he knew this." He walked downstairs leaving the crying girl there.
........
Taesung opened his eyes with immense headache. he skimmed through his surroundings and saw kuro who just come in with an undescribable expression.
He saw his master woken up then his eyes widened.
"Master you're awake,"
"Where is she?" He asked him directly. "Why isn't she here?"
"She has something going on with her family. She's gone there."he lied as he remembered that the girl was still crying upstairs.
"I should've accompany her there. Those fake family of hers is unworthy of her."he tried to stood up but fell back onto the bed. Kuro rushed to help his master.
"Master you shouldn't move around to much,"
"I never said I want to be your master," he shoved kuro's hand off him."I don't want to remember any of my past,"he held his face with both his hands as his voice comes out trembling slightly. Kuro saw a tear flowed through his master's hand makes him felt uncontrollable sorrow in his heart. He kept silence as he bit his lips trying not to tell his master that the girl was still upstairs.
......
Meanwhile the girl upstairs was still crying as hard as she could.
"Why...why did this happen?"she speaks to herself."why did I fall for this man which I don't really know. Why was he not an ordinary people?"
She cried for an hour then tried to clear her mind.
"No matter what. I want to spend my time with him. I'll cherish every single moment I have with him." She wiped her wet cheeks and washed her face then forced out a smile before going down.
She saw kuro leaned on the wall behind the counter with a worried face along with sorrow. He lifted his gaze then sighed as he saw the girl. He walked toward her then patted her shoulder while giving her a sorrowful gaze. Then walked out the cafe.
She went in the room and saw the man standing there looking onto the space worriedly. when he heard the door opened he looked at the door he thought it was kuro again. He was about to chase him away when he saw the girl comes in with a smile forced on her face that looking sullen. He immediately stood up and walked to her and hugged her.
"Sorry. I should've go with you but I fainted,"
"Go with me?" She clutched her hands on the man's shirt.
"Kuro told me you're going to your family. I got mad at him because he doesn't wake me up."he said as he rested his head on hers. She furrowed her eyebrows luckily she was still in his hug if not he might have noticed her shock.
"Yea something happened and I have to go back there. Don't worry they didn't do anything bad."she lied along with kuro.
"Really?"he broke the hug and stared at the girl. The girl just nodded her head.
"Yea I just need some times alone with you. We should go on a date." She looked at him with a big smile. He somehow noticed the tiny bit of sorrow in her eyes. Since he doesn't want to make her sad, he agreed to her invitation. They talk on the way home about where they should go.
........
The next morning.
"Let's go shopping today, Tae!" She backhugged the man who was making some sandwiches for breakfast. The man chuckled happily.
"I still have to go to the library. And you have to go to work,"he turned and hugged her. He saw the girl pouted cutely. He suddenly leaned closer to her and lightly kissed her lips. He smiled while caressing her hair gently.
"I'll go pick you up right after I'm done. I'll wait right in front of your company." When she heard what the man said she couldn't help but to get excited as she thought about it. A sweet smile appeared on her face and her cheeks blushed while she nod. The sight of her looking so lovely makes him feels happy and he swear in his heart that he'll protect her forever.
He leaned in and kissed her passionately. He felt the girl kissed him back and they thought as if they were in their own world before a clanking sound of something fell on the floor woke them up.
"Master please be considerate on me," kuro clasped his hands together in front of him with curled lips and teary eyes.
"Not that I care." He leaned in and kissed the girl while his hands roaming on her body. Kuro shrieked then ran away from there. The girl was shocked by his actions she pushed him away lightly, her face as red as tomato and it seemed like smokes were coming out from her ears. The man laughed out loud and decided to stop teasing her. He brought the sandwiches he made to inside and the girl brought the hot coffee. The 4 of them had breakfast then went to their own destinations.
