"Millions of years ago, I met an interesting mortal." He stared at Ren. "I had gone to the mortal realm to look for someone. And there I met him—an interesting mortal."
"This mortal had offered me a place to stay and fed me with the best meal he could provide. We sat outside under a huge tree most nights and discussed endless topics."

Millions of years ago, a young mortal had fallen in love with a young man he had met in the woods.
This mortal man, San, lived alone after losing his parents. He was an orphan. One day, he went to the forest to gather herbs, and there he met another young man who was heavily injured—Lin.
San saved Lin and took care of him. The two fell deeply in love without thinking of anything else.
But fate was cruel, and the two of them had to part ways after San learned the true identity of the young man he had saved.
