Play the song above. I think it suits good with this chapter.😉
"The Day I Met You
I Thought Everything Would Be Perfect.
That A Beginning of Golden Happiness will begin.
Little Did I know, That Day was actually The Day My Heart Will Be Gone To You.
Waiting seems like Eternity to me.
Then won't you end this painful eternity for me?
All you have to do is....
To Come Back."
It was not a night like any other. After a few days, the Swan Comet was brightly visible in the sky. Usually young couples visited the wide bridge above the Han river early this evening. They spent their time there, capturing their faces and also made tons of promises in front of the comet. But Myeong Jo was the only one who visited there around midnight. Why? Because she didn't want to see the comet at first. But her mind wanted to relax after writting the story for a long time so she ended up wearing her brown coat and coming here on the bridge.
She leaned over and breathed the cold air around her. No one was there except for her and no, she wasn't afraid of drunk men or bad people around. Need to remind you she's skilled in archery, sword fighting.
The Swan Comet looked a lot similar to the Neowise Comet. Except for its tail and size. She felt slightly happy to see a familiar old close thing.
As the wind blew over her hair, the chills won't stop as it was the month of November. Winter was here. And snow was falling down. This is why she prefered this time to see the comet. No one will be around, the snow will fall, cold breeze will pass........she liked it.
She closed her eyes and her heart suddenly yearned for him. The reason for her most beautiful moment of life.
"When two hearts meet after being apart for a long time, the world fades away as they meet and share the purest of loves. They are invisible at that moment and that's what is the magic of their love."
A voice spoke behind her after some time of cold silence.
Myeong Jo opened her eyes.
"When two hearts are meant to be together, then no matter how far they are, how long it takes, how tough it seems, how much hate they give to each other...........Love will bring them back together for a lifetime."
His voice it was..........
Her heart stopped and she was shaken inside like an earthquake. The snow didn't stop falling or nor did the river stopped flowing. It was only her who stopped against time. She grabbed the railing harder out of surprise. Only his voice made her this weak.
She felt cold though she was wearing enough warm clothes. His voice made her freeze. But her mind was fighting with herself whether his long forgotten voice was only in her brain or was it real.
His voice will take million explanations to be real. It will only make sense if he was in her mind.
But why this feeling? She heard his voice all these years too inside her mind. But why this time it felt so freaking real? So real that it shook her like an ice and it felt as if He was standing right behind her; waiting for her to turn back.
Expectation and Reality are very different. Myeong Jo's brain was telling her it was just her mind that is expecting him to be. But her throbbing heart was commanding her to turn around and see it for herself that He was Real!
She pretended she didn't hear anything and closed her eyes out of fear. Why she felt scared; she herself didn't know.
The footsteps were heard this time. As if someone walked closer to her from behind. She opened her eyes. Tons of wishes went through her mind. Should she turn back? Should she walk away or just jump into the river? Is she even thinking straight?
As she opened her eyes again, she definitely felt a presence behind her. And she did Not want him to be Jimin.
After fighting with her heart and brain, the heart won with the fact that even if she turns around, even if she sees the man she cried for all these years; it may not be like what she thinks. He may not be standing there at all. Just a stranger with some loveable quotes. Turning around won't ruin her life right?
So she breathed heavily and prepared herself for the next moment. That one moment may be a regret to her for the rest of her lives or also maybe just nothing. She took her moment for a while and finally slowly...................... very slowly looked behind.
It was him.
Park Jimin.
He stood there with no expression on his face; his hands inside his pant's pockets. He looked the same except for the fact that he grew to be more handsome and the dark bags under his eyes, water stains on his cheeks. He looked miserable yet good looking. When she looked at him, his heartbeat stopped and never beat anymore. He had no idea how to describe this amazing woman in front of him. She looked so beautiful, her wavy red hair was now cut to her shoulder length, she had makeup in which he never saw her before. She in one word looked ravishing and like a strong woman to him.
A number of emotions swept through her heart as she stood there watching him. She didn't know how to accept this moment or how to react. Should she be happy to see him or should she be mad at him? She just couldn't believe it.
Jimin; Park Jimin; The man from another universe; the man whom she loved with her entire being; for whom she sacrificed her life two times without thinking straight..........also the man who shattered her heart into sharp pieces.
How on earth was she supposed to believe it?
She had nowhere to run. It was only her and Jimin on the bridge. She couldn't move her feet even if she wishes to as her whole body was frozen among the unknown emotions and heavy snow falling from the sky. Tears didn't form in her eyes but it already made its way out of her heart. She was happy. Happy to meet him again. But at the same, also afraid. Afraid of him.
Moments of silence passed by as their eyes never left each other.
Jimin stepped one foot to her and looked very deeply to her eyes.
"The night I lost you, was the day I regretted most in my whole life. The second you vanished, it felt like half of my heart was also gone with you. Now that I found you again, I feel like I found my missing piece back. I found the key of my happiness back."
His voice sounded very smooth and tender with affection and love.
He stepped towards her again now there was no distance between them. He bought out his hand out from his pocket and held her cheek with no delay. As if he wanted to do this.
Her eye dropped a tear unknowingly feeling his touch after so many years. This touch was her medicine and without it, she was sick mentally. That hand touched her face again.
Her heart raced against the seconds of the unstoppable time as he leaned closer to her face. His sentence that completely made her numb and surrender her to himself was,
"And I found my wife of 149 days finally."
That made her heart burst into tears and an uncontrollable cry which felt so painful. Tears split over and flowed down her face like a river escaping a dam. She lowered her face as her heart thumped like a ball; escaping his eyes.
Jimin badly wanted to hug her now. He just wanted to say she's all he wants and he really needs her apologise. He wanted her cries to stop and wanted to make her smile. He wanted to pat her back and stoke her hair and sush her down. He wanted to kiss away all her pains and sorrows that are hurting are.
But all of these were just in his heart. His body failed to do what he wanted. For God knows why.
His hand was still holding her cheek and his thumb was rubbing her skin softly. Myeong Jo suddenly came back to her senses as a bad horrible memory hit her head. The time when he slapped her with this very hand that is touching her now.
With the help of her brain to control her longing heart for his touches, she backed away from him, wiping her tears. Jimin was surprised but he knew she would react like that. She should.
She wiped her tears with her fingers and then looked here and there except for meeting his eyes. She looked right, left, down, above, behind except for her front where he's standing. Jimin found her actions extremely cute. She was always cute.
"I-I must've lost my mind for a second...... I actually thought you were my lost husband.....I'm very sorry.... I'm going through a lot now so I accidently thought you were him. I'm so sorry." she bowed 90° at him. Of course, she was just saying them to make herself believe.
"I should probably go now.....It's late." Without looking at him, she walked away from him; her heels stepping on the bridge loudly.
Jimin could've stopped her. He could've hugged her and make her believe he was real. He could have ran behind her and explain everything to her. Yet he just stood there watching her going away. Her small figure become more distant blurry as she walked out of his sight, but her soft cries clearly getting to his ears.
He sighed and looked at the comet.
"I will make her mine again."
