Haneul

After three days from everything that had happened with Wonho, I was left to process everything. It was a confusing feeling of both burden and relief.

However, I still had this feeling of guilt towards both Hyungwon and Wonho.

That night, with a heavy heart, I put myself to sleep after taking a relaxing bath to calm my senses down. Slowly, I felt myself getting drowsy because I have also been feeling fatigued.

Without realizing it, I had entered myself into a state of dream.

I began to look around me, and then I noticed that I was in a beautiful place filled with green grassy land and tall trees. The sky was beautifully painted blue, and it certainly placed me in good mood.

However, right infront of me, I realized that there was a stream of water flowing. It enticed me to come closer to observe how beautiful it was.

I started walking towards the stream, but as I kept getting closer, I noticed the figure of a man, observing the body of water right in front of us as well.

As my feet eventually led me right beside him, I tried to get a clearer glimpse of his face, finally then realizing who it was.

"Have you been doing well, Cheon Haneul?" His familiar voice spoke.

It was no longer filled with resentment, but instead, it sounded warm, peaceful, and loving.

"Wonho-ya..." I immediately felt myself crying.

Without wasting any chances, I quickly held on to him.

"This has really been burdening me, but I've been wanting to tell you sorry. I don't know why I'm sorry, but I feel like you've gone into thin air just like that so quickly. I can't say I didn't cherish those times we spent before, because I really did. I still think about them but I hope you're peaceful now." I immediately told him everything that was on my mind since the day he left.

"I understand. Everything's my fault, Haneul. I shouldn't have meddled with your life and Hyungwon's life from the start. But if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to leave and move on. I even got to see Jooheon with you on that day. I'm deeply sorry for hurting you and losing control." He spoke sincerely.

"It's all good.. I knew you weren't being you that time." I nodded as I spoke.

He smiled at me and tucked my hair behind my ear lovingly.

"Well, I guess we've cleared everything up now. I have limited time to talk to you, so I gotta go soon." He smiled.

Without being able to say anything, I watched Wonho turn around and start walking on his tracks. However, he suddenly stopped over just a few steps.

"Ah, right. By the way, I see that even if years have passed, you seem to have a connection with Hyungwon. It must be fate, don't you think? Anyway, I hope you both take good care of each other. I'm actually sorry towards Hyungwon, too." He released an awkward chuckle.

"Alright. I'll make sure we'll always treasure each other." I gave him a nod.

"Well, that's all. I guess it's goodbye now, Haneul." He smiled.

He motioned a little bit closer to me, and suddenly pulled me towards him for a warm embrace.

"Thank you for the good memories. For making my heart race like I was alive again... Cheonsa. Surely, you're my angel." He spoke right into my ears.

Eventually, everything started to grow bright and I slowly began to gain consciousness and a grasp of reality.

There I was, already awake but not wanting to open my eyes just yet. Without realizing it, a tear escaped my eye once again.

"Wonho-ya..." I uttered with a soft voice.

Suddenly, I felt someone's finger wipe my tear away gently. 

I slowly opened my eyes to see, and there, I saw Hyungwon's face looking concerned over me.

Ever since that night had happened, Hyungwon and I have already been staying together in my house. He would always check up on me before he went to sleep on the couch in the living room. Indeed, it was Hyungwon's presence that I appreciated the most right now. 

"You were crying in your sleep. Are you alright?" He asked me softly.

I immediately sat up straight and held Hyungwon's hand which surprised him.

"Hyungwon-ah... do you wanna visit Wonho's grave today?" I asked him.

He looked at me, quietly pondering about it. However, he eventually gave a happy and agreeing nod.

"Sure. We should definitely go later. We should meet Kihyun and Jooheon, too. We owe our lives to them." He smiled, probably thinking about how those two helped us survive.

Hyungwon and I brought flowers in front of Wonho's grave, and also lit some candles. We didn't forget to say a little prayer to him.

"What I'm saying is, you should definitely join our church! You'd see me dancing there, and I just really think we need someone as good as you in singing! Don't you think we'd make a good pair?" Jooheon was trying to persuade Kihyun in the background.

"Ey... sure I can sing well, but I'm not necessarily interested in seeing you dance, Jooheon-ssi." Kihyun smirked.

"Oh, come on! Back then, Wonho really loved seeing me dance though..." Jooheon sulked.

Hyungwon and I held hands and looked at each other. We both giggled at the way Jooheon and Kihyun got immediately close.

"Guys, you're actually being quite loud right now. Tone it down." Hyungwon turned his head back to face them and warned the two. 

"Hyungwon-ah! What would you like to do today?" I asked him.

Hyungwon faced me, and met my eyes dearly. 

"Would you like to go around and visit new cafes around our area? Maybe it's time we look for a new favorite cafe... for the both of us." He smiled, his eyes looking like they were sparkling.

"Alright. As long as it's with you, I'm up for it." I smiled back at him.

We started to walk back into our car happily along with Kihyun and Jooheon tagging right behind us. 

Though I'll never forget the strange experience of encountering Wonho, maybe, it was time for a new beginning. Most especially now that the circumstances have reunited me with my childhood friend... and childhood love, Chae Hyungwon.

END.
