Um... Ghosts work in mysterious ways? Ahaha, TBH, I just thought I needed to get rid of Lu Han in order to pave the way for Minseok's meeting with Luhan (i.e. Lu Han "disappearing" was actually his soul being transferred back into the current Luhan's body). If that makes sense. The whole point of this story was supposed to be "Lu Heng" getting his heartbroken, then Minseok, and then finally~ They manage to somewhat end up together~ (Okay, the story's a lot deeper than that, LOL, but this is the simplest way I can think of to explain the idea for this plot.)
And I might not be making much sense right now, but the difference is what's making me a little sad,
Not to sound like a sadist or anything, but I'm really happy you said you actually felt a little sad after reading this! I didn't want this to be 100% fluff; I wanted it to be a little bittersweet. So thank you for telling me that you did actually feel a little sad after reading this, since I always feel like my biggest impediment in writing is getting across certain emotions.
does Minseok still keeps seeing ghosts? Does Luhan find out?
Since I am not planning on writing a sequel for this any time soon... (1) After Lu Han's disappearance, Minseok stops seeing ghosts, and (2) one day, Minseok will tell Luhan a tale of two lovers who could never be due to ~reasons~. :)
Anyway, this was a really long reply! I'm pretty sure you didn't comment expecting such a long reply. OTL
Thank you very much for being curious, and thank you for reading!

just needed to get rid of Luhan actually had me laughing ^^''' but, anyway, the way you just said it makes it like the old Luhan disappears and it's his soul going into the new Luhan's body, but then it would mean they're like the same person? Or you maybe meant something like a reincarnation or stuff? 'Cause that's a different thing than I was thinking and maybe would fit better in my mind? Or that's exactly what I was supposed to think, but I'm silly and annoying and I didn't~? ^^''''''''''''
Does not planning anytime soon mean the sequel might be possible one day in the future?
But, yay, so nice. I'm happy for Minseok not having to see ghosts anymore~ <3
Long replies are pretty~ <3

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! So yes, they're the same person in spirit, but maybe not exactly the same as a whole (e.g. Lu Han likes writing; Luhan isn't very into the humanities - something like that). I was prompted to do something with multiple lives/reincarnation/red string theory. That kind of thing with destiny and love and soulmates. I hope that clears things up a little bit, but really...
I don't think there will be a sequel in the future. I'd like to leave Minseok's and Luhan's new future a little open-ended. You can assume what you'd like about whether or not they'll have a very happy ending, have an ending full of hardships, you decide~ :3
Anyway, I hope this reply was satisfactory!
/hugs you back

so finally everything makes sense to my genius mind now. Thank you so much. <3 And it makes the fic even more perfect. <3 Definitely things are beautifully cleared up, love~ <3 ... so prettily cleared up that I don't even have more questions now~ D:
and, yeah, I totally get the same person in spirit, but not exactly the same, as we know it's not even possible, as upbringing and such are very important, too, and it's not really doable for that to be the same for the two, yay~ ^^
but, woah~ finally I get it and adore it even more, with the red string/soulmates/destiny thingy~ beautiful~ <3
hm... I'm going to be stubborn and weak and go for a very happy ending, thank you ❤
the reply was even more than satisfactory, thank you, you're amazing.
and, woah, the picture, it's so cute and makes me smile so much <333

Oh, well, I'm glad I was able to clear things up for you! And yeah, exactly - upbringing and such can change a person indeed.
Hahaha, it was the prompt. I'm undeserving of those "beautiful" comments; you should compliment the person I wrote the fic for, hahahaha.
You're not week for hoping for a happy ending. :)
And you're welcome. :)

and I'm glad to know exactly what was with this sweet fic. Like, woah~ <3 I still adore the idea~ <3
Oh, I can't agree. You definitely deserve all the pretty, happy, flailing comments, because you made such a beautiful thing out of the prompt. But also, the owner of the prompt deserve a nice thoughts, too, for figuring out such a nice one and leading you to create the fic. Yay~ <3
oh, I am, when it comes to fis and kpop idols. And both at once. Like, there's angst or even not angst, but bad things happening to my sweethearts and I'm like ᅲ.ᅲ. D: because I adore my sweethearts, even in fiction, even in not fiction, even if I'll never meet them or anything, but they give me happiness, therefore I want them to be happy, too~ <3
+hugs more+
