“Me? What do you mean…… Do, don’t tell me you’re doing this because our lie will be exposed?”
Her large eyes trembled in shock as tears spilled over her cheeks.
Tae Sang gently placed his finger under her chin. The tear that had traced a round path stopped roundly on his long finger.
He squished the small droplet between his fingers. The tears flowing from Da Jeong’s eyes seemed to pain him as if they were his own.
“It’s not like that.”
His deep eyes lingered on Da Jeong with a heavy gaze.
“Then why?”
“I’m struggling too much.”
“……”
“Having to like you moderately, holding back. That’s too hard for me.”
The time he had harbored feelings for Da Jeong was too long for slow and patient steps.
Since the accident, Tae Sang had always thought of Da Jeong.
Initially, it was just guilt.
Regret for not being able to protect her, a sense of sin for deserving blame. Overwhelmed by the heavy burden, Tae Sang even resented Da Jeong. Why did she appear in his life and make it so difficult?
But soon, he longed for her more as time passed.
The child who approached him in his loneliness, who extended a hand with a clear smile. The warmth he felt for the first time in his life left a more intense impression than any other emotion.
“I was sincere towards you from the beginning.”
“Are you saying you were sincere about this marriage?”
“Yes. Very… from the start.”
Tae Sang leaned in closer, his eyes deep and distant, as if looking at something very precious.
“Why, why? We just met by chance, didn’t we……?”
“Not for me. It was destiny.”
“……”
“Consistently, always.”
Tae Sang felt pathetic for taking such a long detour.
To think that he could just stay by her side for a while and then let go. That was impossible.
He could never just endure Han Da Jeong.
He should have done this from the start. Not wasting even a minute, from the very beginning.
“Forget the contract, see me sincerely.”
‘Hope Orphanage’
The old sign welcomed Soo-bin.
Soo-bin parked his car at the entrance of the orphanage. As he got out, thick raindrops fell on his head.
He should have at least taken the phone number.
Regret slowly rose from deep within him. Soo-bin walked towards the building inside the playground.
“…….”
Then, something out of place caught his eye.
A sedan standing alone in the middle of the playground. It felt oddly familiar. On closer inspection, he realized it was a vehicle used by the vice president’s office.
Soo-bin’s face hardened instantly.
Here, now.
Is Tae Sang here, while Da Jeong is hurting because of him? His boldness infuriated Soo-bin.
He didn’t deserve to comfort Da Jeong. Soo-bin thought so as he hurried his steps.
Entering the building through the central entrance, he saw stairs leading up and corridors stretching on either side.
Not knowing where to go, he headed down the nearest corridor.
The hallway had various facilities like bathrooms and a cafeteria. He quickly glanced around, but there was no sign of Da Jeong anywhere.
As he was about to turn away.
“I also…….”
A faint voice came from somewhere.
It sounded like a whisper, or perhaps a murmur to oneself. The voice was almost drowned out by the rain, but it somehow drew Soo-bin’s attention irresistibly.
Soo-bin slowly turned his head towards the direction of the sound. There, through the wide-open window, he saw a flower garden.
He felt drawn towards it, as if being led by something.
“I, I also like Tae Sang.”
“…….”
Each word painfully etched itself into his ears.
Soo-bin’s face stiffened as he slowly turned his head.
There, at a distance, stood Da Jeong. Shyly smiling, wrapped in Tae Sang’s clothes.
Tae Sang immediately pulled her into his embrace. Da Jeong, with a loving smile, buried her face on his shoulder.
Soo-bin tightly closed his eyes.
Is this what it feels like when a shooting star falls into your eyes?
It’s so beautiful to see, but so painful for the eyes.
He quietly moved away from the window. As he leaned against the end of the dead-end corridor, a cool sensation seeped through his entire body.
His hand slowly moved towards his chest. Inside, there was a searing emptiness. He dropped his gaze and slowly opened his mouth.
“……Han Da Jeong, you too are leaving me.”
In the first-floor room for infants at the orphanage, a place with no children present, it was virtually empty.
Da Jeong opened the door with a clean towel in hand.
Inside, Tae Sang, who had been waiting, turned his head towards the door.
“Use this to wipe yourself.”
Thanks to lending her his jacket, Tae Sang was somewhat wet.
She wished she could give him new clothes, but there were none suitable for Tae Sang in this place meant for children. Da Jeong looked at him with a worried gaze.
“It’s good that you didn’t get too wet.”
“Indeed.”
Saying that, Tae Sang wrapped the towel around Da Jeong’s head.
“Th, this towel is for you, Tae Sang. I didn’t get that wet. I’ve already dried off.”
“Still, you’re a bit wet.”
