The fact that her body warmth was in the same item gave him the only comfort and punishment.
To avoid going crazy, whenever he felt he might go crazy, he pressed the ring to his chest like a stamp.
Seolwon is still alive, and he must not give up.
In this way, he punished himself for being heartless and indifferent to her.
The scars on his chest kept healing, but the pain of a torn heart was incomparable.
“Are you okay? Your complexion doesn’t look good.”
With the imminent promotion to executive position and the continuous overnight work, an unexpected visitor, Kwangho Kwon, visited Chaeha’s house.
It seemed like he was overly forcing himself, causing concern.
“No need to worry. I won’t neglect my work at the company, no matter what.”
“No. Not the company, but you. Chaeha, I mean.”
“…….”

Unable to insist that empty words were okay, Chaeha closed his mouth.
Even if he deceived everyone else, deceiving his father’s eyes was a difficult task.
Wasn’t it his father who first realized the feelings for Seolwon, which he hadn’t known from the beginning?
Exhaling a sigh that he had hidden deeply, he mumbled.
“Now I understand what you told me before. You told me to take good care of her.”
“Yes. I also said that because I had a lot of regrets after separating.”
“I’m receiving this punishment because I didn’t treat her well.”
“Chaeha. Seolwon…”
“No. Please don’t say anything now. I understand that I look foolish. I know that I seem to be regretting like a fool. But… if I don’t hold onto even the slightest hope, I really don’t think I can endure it.”
Fortunately, Kwangho Kwon was a father who valued his son’s happiness more than Youngju Huh.

He responded to his son’s sincere request with a hearty voice.
“Wait. Both you and Seolwon.”
But no matter how long he waited, Seolwon did not return.
Everyone said she was dead, and now even Chaeha was losing hope.
The sea that swallowed her without a trace did not respond to his desperate cries.
Only the cruel sound of waves painfully echoed in his ears and heart.
Good in words, it’s just a disappearance, but if he thought she died by drowning in the sea, nightmares attacked him every night.
When he woke up screaming, the bed sheets were soaked in cold sweat.
The bedside remained empty.
Days passed countless times like that. Spring, summer, fall, winter. Spring came again.

The time Chaeha spent alone in the detached house became longer and longer.
No matter how big and nice the house was, it meant nothing to him.
Without Seolwon, what use was a luxurious house?
For him, this small detached house where he could remember her, call her, and long for her was the only comfort.
Only in this space could he finally breathe.
Seeing him gradually being consumed by it, Secretary Jung expressed concern.
To Chaeha, who seemed perfect from the outside, there was no advice that could be given from the outside.
Especially since he became the youngest executive.
He climbed higher and higher, but after losing his wife, he was thoroughly alone.
Roaring crash!

Loud thunder hit the ceiling of the detached house along with the sound of heavy rain.
As it was a temporary building, the sound penetrated without any filtering, making it extremely noisy inside.
Chaeha was inside the detached house that evening as well.
Since Seolwon left, he had never turned off the lights in this place.
Amidst the unusual thunder and lightning, he watched as the light bulbs flickered.
In adherence to the superstition that leaving the lights on would bring back a departed person, he kept the light bulbs attached one by one.
The garden was no exception.
Although the well-cared-for garden lost much of its former appearance after losing the touch of the caring hands, he still planted azaleas that she liked, albeit awkwardly.
He didn’t want to show Seolwon a desolate garden when she returned.
Shoosh. The cruel raindrops intensified, attempting to bend the azalea stems.
Quietly observing, he slowly rose from the sofa.

Seeing the flowers she loved collapse in the rain, he couldn’t just stand by.
There was an umbrella in the gardening shed; he remembered that much.
Determined, Chaeha cautiously opened the creaking door.
As the door opened, an unbelievable scene unfolded in the pouring rain in the middle of the garden.
“……Min Seolwon.”
Seolwon, with neatly tied hair, was gently caressing the azaleas.
Even the faint smile she used to make whenever she saw flowers in her simple attire.
There was no mistake. She was his wife, Min Seolwon.
“Min Seolwon!”
Calling her name, Chaeha rushed out towards the garden in a single breath.

But as soon as he stood just a few steps away, Seolwon’s figure disappeared.
“Min Seolwon…? Min Seolwon!”
She had been sitting here just a while ago, laughing while looking at the azaleas.
It seemed like a lie that she couldn’t be seen anymore.
Chaeha frantically wandered through the garden as if he were crazy.
He thoroughly searched the small path leading to the backyard and the rooftop, but he couldn’t find Seolwon.
His shirt was soaked with the pouring rain, and his shoes were caked with wet mud.
Water droplets falling from his hair blurred his vision.
His desperate voice calling Seolwon echoed through the garden, piercing through the thunder, but she didn’t appear.
How much time had passed?

Suddenly, the raindrops pouring from above ceased.
To be precise, it wasn’t that the rain stopped; it was that an umbrella had been placed over him.
“……Please get up, Mr. Chaeha. You might get hurt like this.”
“Secretary Jung… Just now, my wife…”
“I’ll help you up.”
Only then did Chaeha realize that he was kneeling in the middle of the garden, soaked in the rain, while Secretary Jung, who was alive, had appeared.
The arrival of Secretary Jung, who was alive, made him realize the cruel truth for him as well.
What he had just seen was just an illusion.
“Uh… Ugh…”
In the end, tears fell mercilessly to the ground.

Along with the suppressed regret that erupted like the roar of a beast.
Holding the rough hands comforting my shoulders, Chaeha knelt down and wailed endlessly.
The existence of Min Seolwon was no longer present in his reality.
