ꔫ Summary: In a world of ancient shrines and restless spirits, Hyunjin is a painter cursed by a nine-tailed fox—doomed to spend eternity painting the same woman he can never truly have.
You are that woman, reborn in each lifetime, your soul protected by a sorrowful crane spirit who warns you to stay away from him. But fate is cruel, and the moment your eyes meet, the curse awakens again.
Bound by past sins and divine punishment, your lives entwine under blood moons and lantern light. Love has always been your salvation—and your downfall.
When the fox and the crane clash once more, will you finally break the cycle, or become another tragedy painted in ink and blood?

The temple bell tolled in the distance, low and mournful, its sound carrying across the misty mountains. Lanterns flickered to life along the village path, their soft glow chasing away the gathering dusk. The world smelled of pine, rice wine, and woodsmoke, a fragrance that belonged wholly to the Joseon nights.
Hyunjin sat alone in his Giwa, brush poised above a half-finished painting. Candlelight danced across his pale features, and his hair—long, black, and unbound—fell like silk across his shoulders. Before him, the canvas waited, but his hand would not move.
The problem was always the same.
He could paint the line of your jaw, the shape of your hands, even the delicate curve of your lips. But your eyes… he could never finish your eyes.
His jaw clenched. The fox spirit’s voice whispered in his head, silken and cruel.
“She will never belong to you. Paint her face, carve it into your memory—but she will always fade. That’s the only thing you can cling onto. She will never be in your arms again. That is the curse your family begged upon you.”
Hyunjin closed his eyes, fighting the ache that pressed against his chest. Centuries had passed, and still he carried the curse like a shackle: to love one soul through countless lifetimes, only to lose her again and again. To watch her forget his face again…and again.
He didn’t know what hurt him more. The constant loss of you or the simple fact of you not remembering him.
In a cruel way he would rather you remember him so that when he looks for you, it’ll be like you never left. You guys could pick up from where you left off and be further along in this love story. That would be a dream.
That is his dream.
But this was the price of betrayal. This was the punishment for his family defying the fox spirit.
Over and Over.
And yet… he painted. He always painted.
You arrived in the village that same season, daughter of a disgraced scholar seeking refuge after your family’s exile. Though your hanbok was beautiful and your manner quiet, there was something about you that unsettled the townspeople.
Perhaps it was your eyes—eyes that sometimes seemed too knowing, too ancient.
You knew why.
From the time you were a child, you had felt the presence of the other. The spirit who lingered at the edge of your vision, slipping into your dreams. Unlike Hyunjin’s fox spirit, yours was a crane spirit—white-feathered, graceful, and sorrowful. Where the fox mocked, the crane whispered warnings.
“Do not trust him,” the crane spirit murmured, appearing in your dream as you stood in a field of reeds. “The painter will find you again. He always does. And each time you follow, you die.”
You woke with the echo of wings fading into the night.
You felt hopeless. This was a constant battle that had followed your family for years and now it was bestowed onto you.
You remembered your mother’s words. You remember what she said about your grandmother.
“My mother fell so deeply in love with my father. Their love was unmatched. He was her every waking moment and she was the love of his life. They lived in love with one another for five years before they had me. That’s when your grandmother sadly left us..”
That’s the dreadful thing about all this. It’s not always instant and it’s not always drawn out.
It can be the moment you lock eyes with one another, the moment you lock hands or the moment you get comfortable and think you’re in the clear when it can all be taken away from you.
~~~~~~~
The following day, the mountain mists curled around the roofs of the small village. At the edge of the road, a horse-drawn cart creaked forward, carrying a scholar and his daughter—you.
Your hanbok was beautiful, pale gold and white, resembling the beautiful crane that follows you, that lives within you. Your hair was beautifully styled.
Still, whispers followed as you passed through the market. The villagers had always been suspicious of newcomers, but with you, their unease was sharper. You thought it was the way you were dressed but it seems they looked past that.
“Her eyes,” someone whispered. “Too strange. Too wise for one so young.”
You lowered your gaze, pretending not to hear. But you knew why they stared.
For as long as you remembered, you had not been alone.
That night, in your dreams, you stood in a field of reeds swaying beneath the moonlight. A crane descended from the sky, its white feathers glowing, its red crown gleaming like a drop of blood. Its wings spread wide, sheltering you in shadow.
“Do not trust him,” the crane whispered, voice soft yet heavy with sorrow. “The painter seeks you. He always does. And each time, you die. You will have to start this over again.”
You reached out, longing to touch its feathers—but the dream shattered.
“Trust me,” the crane started, “I always take care of you.”
You sighed softly nodding, knowing that no matter what, your crane will always protect you.
~~~~~~~~~~
The forest shrine had been abandoned for years, its wooden beams collapsing, its paint faded and flaked. But something pulled you toward it, as though unseen hands guided your steps. Beneath the sagging roof, you found the murals still intact—an ancient story painted across the walls. No matter how faded it looked it was still beautiful to you.
The stories it held had a place in your heart.
A man stood with a brush in hand, his eyes full of sorrow. Beside him was a woman’s figure, her face unfinished. Opposite them, a fox spirit crouched with nine curling tails. And painted above them, stretching her wings wide, was a crane—her eyes red as blood.
You staggered back, breath stolen.
The mural… It was you.
A shiver, cold and sharp, traced its way down your spine. The air in the decaying shrine seemed to thicken, pressing in on you, stealing the breath from your lungs. It wasn't just a painting; it was a mirror, reflecting a truth far more ancient and terrifying than you could have ever imagined.
The woman with the unfinished face, the sorrowful painter, the menacing fox, the protective crane—it was all you. A sense of profound disorientation washed over you, blurring the edges of reality. Your life, your memories, even your identity, felt suddenly fragile, like old parchment crumbling at a touch.
Confusion warred with a terrifying clarity. How could a mural, long abandoned and decaying, depict the very essence of your existence?
The whispers of the crane, the unsettling feeling of being watched, the strange familiarity you sometimes felt with places you'd never seen—it all coalesced into a single, overwhelming truth. T
his wasn't just a story; it was your story, unfolding repeatedly through the tapestry of time. A profound sense of helplessness settled deep within you. Y
ou were a character in a play written long ago, and the script was being replayed, its ending already known, its tragedy inevitable. The realization was not just unsettling; it was a soul-deep terror, stripping away any illusion of free will you might have held.
Later, at the village square, you saw him.
He was seated behind a low table covered in inkstones and brushes, his paintings propped around him. Faces stared from every canvas, all bearing a resemblance to you.
Your steps faltered, heart thrumming against your ribs. And then his eyes lifted, locking with yours.
Hyunjin’s brush slipped from his fingers, clattering against the wood.
The curse had come full circle again.
And both your spirits—fox and crane—laughed in the shadows.
Summary: In a world steeped in magic and ancient prophecies, two soulmates are destined for an eternal connection, but also for a fatal duel where one must kill the other. Despite this tragic fate, they are drawn to each other by an irresistible force, their powers mirroring and complementing each other. They find solace and share profound moments together, even as the shadow of their inevitable conflict constantly reminds them of their looming, tragic end. Felix tries everything he can to save himself and the one he fell in love with.
Chapter summary:Felix is preparing to leave for a hunt and Bangchan is giving him instructions to stay safe and avoid being seen, especially after dark. Felix reassures Bangchan he knows what he's doing and can use his shadow powers to conceal himself. Despite Bangchan's concerns about Felix's soulmate or enemies finding him, Felix says he is not worried. Felix is actually planning to find his soulmate, whom he has known about for a year, instead of going on the hunt.

“You need to stay off the main roads. I don’t want anyone seeing you after dark.” Bangchan said helping Felix pack the last of the things he needed for the hunt. Felix rolled his eyes and nodded.
“I hear you, Chan. I know these things. I haven’t gotten caught yet. I don’t think I will.” Felix said, putting on his boots followed by his jacket. He stood to his feet and grabbed his bag from Bangchan. “I think I can conceal myself really well. I have shadows for a reason.”
Felix can manipulate shadows to work in his favor. He can completely conceal himself within the shadows which is proven to be useful in times of battle and trying to get away from an enemy. He’s high ranking in his team both in combat and in mental.
“I know you can but I would rather you just keep low, especially after dark. It’s that time of year again and I don’t want your soulmate to find you or at the very least someone who has a grudge.” Bangchan said, watching his younger brother put on his backpack, chuckling.
“I’m not concerned with that. Not at all. I got it, I’ll be back before morning.” He said with his heavy aussie accent, walking out of the door and into the living room.
“I know but for me, just be careful.” Bangchan said, almost pleading for Felix to come back in one piece.
“I will. I have to get going before the street lights come on.” Felix said with a smile and a wave heading out the door.
Felix was set on his journey. He decided to go on foot versus taking a car.
He wasn’t going to hunt.
He wasn’t going to meet up with the others either.
He’s going to find his soulmate and confront her once and for all.
By this time he had known who his person was for the past year and he was curious if they had any clue about who he was. If you did, he wondered why they haven’t tried to kill him yet.
It didn’t matter though.
He knew exactly where they were and he knew exactly where to find them.
It didn’t take him long, he was right there in front of the lake, where he first met you.
There you were in all your glory. You are the most beautiful person on this earth to him. There was no way in hell he could kill you, not with those innocent eyes looking back at him.
He hid behind the tree the moment he saw you walk across to the lake, singing a soft tone that made his heart swoon. Felix was head over heels. He was so in love that if you had ever decided that you wanted to kill him to live longer, he would accept it.
He felt the urge to protect you with everything he had.
And that’s exactly what he was going to do. It’s the very reason why he has to meet you tonight. He has to reveal his true self to you and take you with him.
Felix knows Chan would be upset and the guys wouldn’t understand.
They’ve all killed their soulmate to ensure their safety and longevity on this earth. Chan made them all agree to do so, so that they could be able to live together without any worry. At first Felix agreed. He could remain comfortable and safe with his best friends without a care in the world. But on the other hand he saw how it tore Hyunjin to pieces.
Hyunjin’s soulmate loved him dearly. She wanted to make him happy. Moments before he took her life she asked him, “are you sure, you want to do this, my love?” Hyunjin reluctantly nodded. She smiled at him and kissed his lips. “Then let it be. I will find you in the next life and the one after that. I will always love you, Hwang Hyunjin.”
Those words haunt Felix till this day and that wasn’t his soulmate. He could only imagine how Hyunjin feels. Felix doesn’t want that for him. He doesn’t think he could make it if that was his fate. Bangchan says it was for the best. We cannot protect themselves as well as our soulmates.
Felix thought differently. He knew he could provide a life that was fit for him and his soulmate.
Each night, Felix would disappear into the deep woods where he set up a home for him and his soulmate. It already has everything they could possibly need. It was big enough for himself, his soulmate and his friends. It already has an endless supply of food, running water, clothes, everything you could think of. He set up a garden and farm so if anything happened, he could sustain everyone in the house. Felix built the home from his shadow so it’s already set up to protect his soulmate should anything happen to her.
He was fully prepared to spend the rest of his light with you in hiding. With or without his friends. He was prepared to lose it all if that meant he could be with you.
He watched you sit on the edge of the lake looking into the stars singing the same song you sang every night in hopes to find your soulmate soon so you can stop living a lonely life.
Little fireflies in the twilight glow,
Whispering secrets of where you might go,
Do you see me here, beneath the willow tree?
Dreaming of the day you'll come for me.
Oh, my soulmate, are you out there somewhere?
Humming a tune, breathing in the air?
I'm saving a dance, a smile, and a hello,
For when we meet, and our hearts start to glow.
Felix adored this song. He found himself humming it throughout the day to singing it in the shower. His friends often asked him where he got the song from but he’d never tell.
You were singing away and Felix could no longer hold himself back. He came from the shadows where the two of you locked eyes for the first time. Felix decided to finish the song the moment you two locked eyes.
Every shooting star, I make a little wish,
That you're looking up too, feeling the same bliss,
Maybe you're drawing, maybe you're reading a book,
But someday soon, we'll share a knowing look.
Oh, my soulmate, are you out there somewhere?
Humming a tune, breathing in the air?
I'm saving a dance, a smile, and a hello,
For when we meet, and our hearts start to glow.
I don't know your name, or the color of your hair,
But I know in my heart, that you truly care,
And when we find each other, the waiting will be through,
And our story will start, just me and you.
You watched in shock, this man finished the song that only you knew. As he stepped closer, you weren’t scared and you weren’t worried. In fact you felt a great deal of comfort.
The twilight air hummed with a strange energy as you sat by the lake. You come here every evening, singing a little tune about finding your soulmate, a tune that feels older than you, like it has always been a part of your heart. Tonight, the air felt different, charged.
And now you know why. Your soulmate was sitting here right in front of you. His voice was gentle, yet filled with a strength that made your heart flutter. It was your song, the one you thought only you knew, yet he sang it as if it was his own.
It was like meeting a part of yourself that you never knew was missing. You weren't worried, either. You were just completely captivated by him. He was absolutely beautiful. He was so handsome. His voice was deep yet so gentle all in the same breath. The song, the moment, the air around you two, it all felt surreal. When your eyes met, it was as if a thousand unspoken words passed between you. It was in that moment, with his voice filling the twilight, that you knew. This was him. This was my soulmate.
He knew it too. Seeing you this close and personal made Felix swoon over you. He wanted to hug you and kiss you all at the same time. The way you were looking at him, told him that you too, had no intention of hurting him.
“H-Hi” You whispered.
“Hi,” he whispered with a smile. “Can I hug you?”
You nodded and jumped right into his arms. He wrapped his arms around your waist and held you extremely tight. He couldn’t believe this moment. You were here with him, he was with you. He would do anything to be able to share this moment with his friends but he knew the first thing they would do.
They would try to take you out. They would be doing it for his safety but they’ll be doing more damage then good.
The two of you hugged for what felt like ages before Felix pulled away. He kept you closer to him as he took a minute to examine you. You were beautiful to him, breathtaking. He almost couldn’t believe you were really his. In his arms right now looking up at him with your beautiful eyes.
“Baby, you are so beautiful. You’re breathtaking.” Felix smiling softly, he moved your hair out of your face, to get a better look at you. You started blushing as Felix eyed you down. You were head over heels for him already when it dawned on you.
‘What if he’s here to kill me?’
You backed away while your light source wrapped around your arms and hand, ready to strike. “What are you doing here? Are you trying to kill me to save your-” Before you could get the words out, a russell in trees formed all around you when you were hit with an incredible force, sending you back and into a tree. Felix sprung into action, “Princess!”
He ran to your side and saw that you were two seconds from being knocked cold. Small whimpers left your lips as you knew the wind was knocked from your lungs. Felix began to panic as he watched you struggle to breathe.
“Baby please breathe. Baby, are you okay?” He asked you a series of questions before you could finally catch your breath. You looked up and saw a young man standing behind Felix. Once Felix realized what you were looking at, he turned to see Minho standing there with tears in his eyes. Felix put his arm around you and out towards him, to keep the distance between you and Hyunjin.
“Are you okay, Yongbok?” Minho said, wiping his tears. Felix felt the anger swell inside of him as the mist that grew in his body began to pour out.
“Why would you do that?!” He screamed catching Minho offguard, that’s when Han came from the shadows. By this time you were increasingly dizzy, every time you tried to stand on your feet, your body would bring you back down. Felix was freaking out. “She was about to kill you!” Han yelled.
“NO SHE WASN’T” Felix's face was wet with his tears as he tried to help you to your feet. You were checked out of the conversation, all you wanted to do was get away from them. You finally muster the strength to push Felix off and call your light to take you home.
And with that you were gone.
“NO NO NO…no no no no” Felix cried falling to his knees and punching the ground. Han and Minho looked on as their friend was in turmoil. They looked at each other, both not knowing how to address him.
“Felix…she was about to hurt you. She was about to kill-”
“NO SHE WASN’T. She wasn’t she wasn’t she wasn’t. She thought I was going to kill her. Fuck. Now she’ll never come back to me. I have to find her, I have to find her.” Felix said frantically as he grabbed his bag.
Han stopped him “No, we should go home. You need to talk to Bangchan.” Felix pushed Han off. “No, I need to find her! Why would you even do that to her? Even if she was trying to kill me, I could have gotten her off on my fucking own!”
Minho remained quiet as the fight between Han and Felix continued. He understood exactly how Felix felt and secretly, he hoped that Felix could rekindle with his soulmate. Tears began to burn his eyes once again and it wasn’t long before his whimpers could be heard between the two fighting men.
“Minho,” Felix said, defeated. Han sighed and looked at the two men.
“Let’s just go home before Chan starts wondering where we are.”
The walk home was silent. Han walked with Minho while Felix walked miles in ahead of them. The moment they got home, Felix went straight to his room avoiding everyone, slamming his door once inside.
Bangchan stood to his feet as he watched Felix strom upstairs. “What happened, is he okay?”
“He foun-” Han started but Minho stopped him. “He’s fine, it was just a hard night of hunting.” Minho then went up the stairs to find Felix.
Felix was pacing his room in tears as he reminisced about the few moments he had with you. From the first time he laid his eyes on you to the moment he stood to protect you. He knew he wanted to be with you. It was as if his soul would leave if he didn’t have you near him again.
Minho knocked softly before entering Felix's room. Felix stopped once he heard the door open but once he made eye contact with Minho, he just rolled his eyes and sat on his bed.
“What do you want? I’m pretty sure Chan is going to come and come up with a plan to take her out already-”
“I didn’t tell him,” Minho said blankly. Felix’s eyes softened “Why not?” he asked quietly.
Minho sat next to him, his eyes never met Felix’s. “Because, when I first met my soulmate, I was head over heels for her. She was beautiful and so sweet. We had been seeing one another for about 8 months before you guys even found out. Having to look her in the face while she’s losing her life by my hand was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.” He paused for a second to stop the tears from coming. “I refuse to let you feel that way. You love her. I can see it in your eyes. I’ve known all along that you were never hunting. You always came home with less than you normally get when we’re together. That’s how I could tell you were going to see her.”
Felix cursed himself for not being more careful but that only made Minho chuckle before he stood.
“Go find her but be safe. She may need a little convincing but I saw how she looked at you,” Minho said walking to the door. “ and your secret is safe with me. Han didn’t see anything happen between you two. When he walked up, I struck so he didn’t get a chance to kill her.”
With that he left. As much as Felix appreciated the support, he had no idea how he was going to find you. He would have to hope and pray that you would go back to the lake which he didn’t have much faith with that idea. He remembered Hyunjin saying that once you’ve met your soulmate, you can always find them…

“Why would you do that?!” He screamed catching Minho offguard, that’s when Han came from the shadows. By this time you were increasingly dizzy, every time you tried to stand on your feet, your body would bring you back down. Felix was freaking out. “She was about to kill you!” Han yelled.
“NO SHE WASN’T” Felix's face was wet with his tears as he tried to help you to your feet. You were checked out of the conversation, all you wanted to do was get away from them. You finally muster the strength to push Felix off and call your light to take you home.
And with that you were gone.
“NO NO NO…no no no no” Felix cried falling to his knees and punching the ground. Han and Minho looked on as their friend was in turmoil. They looked at each other, both not knowing how to address him.
“Felix…she was about to hurt you. She was about to kill-”
“NO SHE WASN’T. She wasn’t she wasn’t she wasn’t. She thought I was going to kill her. Fuck. Now she’ll never come back to me. I have to find her, I have to find her.” Felix said frantically as he grabbed his bag.
Han stopped him “No, we should go home. You need to talk to Bangchan.” Felix pushed Han off. “No, I need to find her! Why would you even do that to her? Even if she was trying to kill me, I could have gotten her off on my fucking own!”
Minho remained quiet as the fight between Han and Felix continued. He understood exactly how Felix felt and secretly, he hoped that Felix could rekindle with his soulmate. Tears began to burn his eyes once again and it wasn’t long before his whimpers could be heard between the two fighting men.
“Minho,” Felix said, defeated. Han sighed and looked at the two men.
“Let’s just go home before Chan starts wondering where we are.”
The walk home was silent. Han walked with Minho while Felix walked miles in ahead of them. The moment they got home, Felix went straight to his room avoiding everyone, slamming his door once inside.
Bangchan stood to his feet as he watched Felix strom upstairs. “What happened, is he okay?”
“He foun-” Han started but Minho stopped him. “He’s fine, it was just a hard night of hunting.” Minho then went up the stairs to find Felix.
Felix was pacing his room in tears as he reminisced about the few moments he had with you. From the first time he laid his eyes on you to the moment he stood to protect you. He knew he wanted to be with you. It was as if his soul would leave if he didn’t have you near him again.
Minho knocked softly before entering Felix's room. Felix stopped once he heard the door open but once he made eye contact with Minho, he just rolled his eyes and sat on his bed.
“What do you want? I’m pretty sure Chan is going to come and come up with a plan to take her out already-”
“I didn’t tell him,” Minho said blankly. Felix’s eyes softened “Why not?” he asked quietly.
Minho sat next to him, his eyes never met Felix’s. “Because, when I first met my soulmate, I was head over heels for her. She was beautiful and so sweet. We had been seeing one another for about 8 months before you guys even found out. Having to look her in the face while she’s losing her life by my hand was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.” He paused for a second to stop the tears from coming. “I refuse to let you feel that way. You love her. I can see it in your eyes. I’ve known all along that you were never hunting. You always came home with less than you normally get when we’re together. That’s how I could tell you were going to see her.”
Felix cursed himself for not being more careful but that only made Minho chuckle before he stood.
“Go find her but be safe. She may need a little convincing but I saw how she looked at you,” Minho said walking to the door. “ and your secret is safe with me. Han didn’t see anything happen between you two. When he walked up, I struck so he didn’t get a chance to kill her.”
With that he left. As much as Felix appreciated the support, he had no idea how he was going to find you. He would have to hope and pray that you would go back to the lake which he didn’t have much faith with that idea. He remembered Hyunjin saying that once you’ve met your soulmate, you can always find them…
