Joonmyun cradles Kyungsoo's deformed hands in his own. He brings them up to his lips, eyes never leaving Kyungsoo's. Kyungsoo watches in delight as the fur fades and his claws retract until they are a normal human length. The skin on his hands and arms knit together and smooths out. "Beautiful." Joonmyun whispers, delighting in the flush that crawls up his lover's cheeks.

The couple kiss as the dense thicket of trees surrounding the mansion fades to nothing, revealing green fields that go on for miles.

Jongdae smiles, satisfied but his brow furrows when he rethinks what had happened in the tower. The plants had reacted oddly; they were never supposed to come alive after Joonmyun had been awakened. Something terrible has been awakened and Jongdae isn't sure he wants to know what.

Kyungsoo crashes through the trees, feeling the skin on his upper arms split apart as the curse advanced. He breaks through a line of trees and freezes. He stands on a cliff overlooking his family's estate but even from a distance, he can tell that something isn't right.

In his sleep, Joonmyun stirs. His dreams are full of the owl eyed man who is fated to be his soulmate. He watches with a heavy heart as his love pushes through the enchanted forest, dried blood crusted onto the sleeves of his coat. He sees Kyungsoo standing in the spirit glade, the dying flower before him and hears the despair in his voice as he begs for Jongdae's help. He sees Kris's beautiful lover speaking animatedly and Kyungsoo sitting and brooding in front of him. Joonmyun feels no resentment towards him but instead feels guilt settle in his stomach as he watches his love stumble on a rock in his tiredness and nearly step on a toadstool housing a couple of pixies.
