CHAPTER 5

"Father..." someone else called Mr.Kim to turn around to see who called him father and saw a teenage beautiful feminine body boy with green long black hair and pink eyes.

He let go of Meng "who are you? Why are you calling me father?" He asked so confusedly,

Meng holds Mr.Kim's left hand, Mr.Kim looks at him "His our son..." Meng said smiling happily and Mr.Kim got more confused.

"What? But you haven't delivered our child, how come I am so confused about what is going on, Meng please tell me why we're in this place?" Mr.Kim asked and so lost at the moment.

"Father I am your son, My name is Lao Men Ye, mother helped your soul to wake up, just now," Lao said and Mr.Kim looked at Meng so lost and confused.

"Come father hold my hand And I'll explain it to you" Lao proposed holding out his hand for his father who is so lost right now, he looks at Meng and Meng just nods and smiles at him, letting go of him.

"Go on, our son is waiting" Meng responded and Mr.Kim nodded, smiling happily and kissing Meng to the lips lovingly

"I see you later okay?" He said and Meng just smiled at him and nodded.

He then goes to his son Lao and when he touches his son's hand they're been transmigrated to some kind of a house.

"Where are we son?" He asked curiously

"We're in your house, father" Lao responded holding his father's left hand then they heard a ruckus to the guest room and they go there and Mr.Kim was so surprised as he saw himself and Meng fighting.

"I AM DONE! LET'S END THIS NOW! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" Mr.Kim said

"No! Please don't leave me! Please! Don't leave me! I love you, please! '' Meng begged as he cried in a mess and grabbed a hold of Mr.Kim's wrist but Mr.Kim shoved it away which caused Meng to fall to the floor harshly, then Mr.Kim going outside of their house.

"What's going on here?" Mr.Kim was so confused seeing what just happened how can he do that to his love, Meng, then they saw blood flowing out down from Meng's womb.

"Ah~! Ahh! Please! Somebody help me! Mr.Kim! Help me! Our child...please! Ahh! It hurt so much! Somebody help!" Meng shouted in agony holding his tummy "Meng? Meng! Help him! Help him! Meng I am here don't worry I am here (sobs)" Mr.Kim said In shocked and so much pain seeing his love in so much pain and agony.

"Father stand up" Lao simply said

"what? But your mother Meng i-what? Where is he?! Where's your mother?!" Mr.Kim is so confused right now cause they're back now to the same plain place.

"Father, what you saw is just the past" Lao said,

"what?" Mr.Kim

"that was your past and my mother's past, in the past my mother dies in the apartment alone because of the miscarriage, we foxes we will die because of losing someone who we cherish the most or being abandoned by the person that we made bond and love so much," Lao continue explained the situation.

"We turn into ashes and we die along with our past, so, my mother dies and turns to ashes, after you leave my mother, to your apartment. You were driving away on the highway with your car and died of the car accident, because you were driving with so much emotion and you were lost in your thoughts and mind" Lao said

"what?" Mr.Kim couldn't believe it.

"T-then, what you showed me just now, is my past?" Mr.Kim asked

"yes" Lao simply replied

"Are you saying I am already dead?" Mr.Kim asked for clarification and his son nodded and he got more confused and lost.

"Yes, you've been dead for ages," Lao said

"That's impossible! Then what happened earlier?, when your mother and I made love? Was it past too? Are you making fun of me?! Is this a dream?! Am I dreaming?" Mr. Kim asked, he's still processing about the revelations till his tears flows down to both of his eyes.

"No those were the present scenario mother showed it to you, for you to wake up, your soul has been sleeping for so long so mother helped you because she still loves you," Lao said

"What? What do you mean?" Mr.Kim asked confusedly

"Father your soul has been sleeping for ages and mother went hurriedly to the Goddess realm once he got reincarnated with me as a fox god again, he went there to beg for your soul," Lao said

"what?" Mr.Kim still doesn't get it and buying it tears that keeps falling to his eyes like waterfalls.

"Mother went to beg for the goddess to take care of your soul to himself and wake you up himself, then the goddess, can't see the reason to refuse my mother's wish ,so, they granted my mother's wish. Then mother leaved the realm with your soul on the capsule to meet me" Lao continues explaining and his father just listens to him crying.

" He then told me that you are my father, that the soul that he was holding inside the capsule is his lover, his love and my father but your soul is still lost and asleep so mother used his power as a fox goddess and went inside your soul" Lao continued.

"To help you to wake up and be reincarnated by going inside your dream but it's still not enough; however, when my mother comes back from you he saw something that might help you wake up. And by the meaning of what he saw are your present memories so he used it by getting inside of it and now you here" Lao said and Mr.Kim all doubts has left him.

"T-then...you said that he, My Meng, your mother helped me again even though in the past I treated him unfairly and hurt him?, Even though I am the cause of his death?" Mr.Kim said crying in pain for what he has done to Meng, his love and his life to the past.

"Father...even you hurt and left mother for no reason, my mother still loves you and never forgets you because he still loves you, we fox only love one person if we bonded, we only bonded into our only true love, that is why, even if you left him or hurt him he still can't find a way to hate or deceived you because he loves you so much that his willing to die again for you," Lao said feeling sad for his mother.

" Father now that your soul is awake, mother wants you to choose where you want to go," Lao said to his father who is crying in pain looking at him straight.

"What is it? (sobs)" Mr.Kim asks, crying in a mess.

"Father there are three choices either you go back and face the present, but that scenario of present you saw, just now is not yet certain, if it will become true, second is, you reincarnated as a fox god like us and stay with us with me and mother and lastly third you prefer to burn your soul and never be reincarnated again," Lao said. And his father pauses to think as tears keep falling on his face.

"Okay I have chosen, but (sobs) before telling you what i chose, can you grant my request, Lao?" Mr.Kim said

"What is it father? tell me and I shall grant it," Lao said agreeing

"Can I hug you, My son?" Lao's father requests and he was surprised then tears falls to his eyes and he smiles gladly.

"Y-yes...yes of course you can father..." Lao said and Mr.Kim hugs his son tightly and Lao hugs back, gladly crying.

"My son Lao...You take care of your mother for me okay? And tell him that I am sorry for hurting him and that I also still love him and he will always be my only love and tell him to never cry and wait for me again okay son?" Mr.Kim said and Lao nodded in sadness, not ready to let go of his father's embrace.

(Later On)

Lao go out to the justice realm and Meng run towards his son upon seeing him,

"Where's your father?" Meng asks his son no response then he looks straight to his mother and flashbacks flashes at the back of his mind of what happened earlier,

(Earlier)

"I am so sorry for not seeing you grow with your mother, but I want you to know that, I also love you and cherish you my son I am so happy to have you and your mother I am so blessed to have you both in my life" Mr.Kim lastly said and slowly let go of his son and kiss Lao forehead gently.

"Don't let your mother cry anymore and don't let him be lonely, stay with him always and Take care of him for me and you also have to take care, okay son?" Mr.Kim said crying and Lao nods "I promise father" also crying so much then Mr.Kim kissed his son's forehead for the second time and let go of him.

"Father?(sobs)...(hic)..." Lao called

"I love you both, my loves," Mr.Kim said and he went inside the door that had been surrounded with fire. He smiles at his son and waves goodbye at the door then immediately closes as he enters.

"I see...(hic)...(sobs)...father you choose no one...(sobs) but in your heart and mind you choose me and mother...(sobs)". Lao breaks down crying upon seeing his father's soul enter the hell door.

"I've hurt so many people to be reincarnated I am more worse than a monster and demon, I accept this, my love Meng don't cry for me anymore live life to the fullest with son forget me and be happy I will always love you till the very end," Mr.Kim said as his soul slowly burned by the fire.

"AHH!" Lao heard his father scream and that was the end.

Lao got out to the justice realm and went to his mother in the forest who is waiting for him and his father excitedly.

"Mother..." Lao calls with a sore and exhausted voice Meng turned around happily smiling but his smile has turned sad upon seeing his son tired and exhausted.

"Son? Where's your father? " Meng asked, holding his son both shoulders gently.

"Mother..." Lao hugged his mother.

"Father told me" Lao remembering what his father told him

"Mother, Father said, 'My son Lao...You take care of your mother for me okay? And tell him that I am sorry for hurting him and that I also still love him and he will always be my only love and tell him to never cry and wait for me again okay son?' " Lao said

"Don't let your mother cry anymore and don't let him be lonely stay with him always and Take care of him for me and you also have to take care okay son?" Lao continue telling her mother and he cries

Then Meng cries, breaking down and Lao catches his mother from falling.

"(Hic)...(sobs)... I see...that's unexpected" Meng mumbling and crying while his son holds him,

"mother...don't worry I will be always beside you I promise to father that I won't leave and make you lonely" Lao responded hugging his mother who cries in sorrow.

Then just like that the wind who passes through the past and present faded and got brushed away like a wind carrying dust through the thin air together with his heart, memories, and love.

"Mother!, I'm done cooking let us eat" Lao called upon his mother whose just standing under the cherry blossom tree that is now withering,

"Soon, Fogs will cover the mountains and all will be back to its place again" Meng mumble watching the cherry blossoms wither its flower,

"Mother?" Lao calls upon his mother again,

"We will see each other again my love" Meng lastly said and went to where his son is, smiling back to him.

"Sorry, let's go?" Meng said, putting his arm all over his son's shoulder as his son nodded happily.

They continue living quietly inside the mountain with a barrier to keep humans away from their place and to make them disappear into humans' eyes, and they never interfere or make a move to go to the human place anymore.
