“Since you escaped where I could find you, this is a compliment for being pretty.”
“Escape? Where would I go?”
Danwoo held her hand and brought it to his waist, and as Jian hesitated, he spoke.
“I thought of this house when I woke up. I felt like there might be traces of my dad, so I came here in a hurry. Then I found my dad’s diary, and it seems the accident stopped since then. …I haven’t read it yet. When I see my dad’s handwriting, tears come first.”
“If it’s difficult, I’ll read it with you later.”
“Later… I’ll read it later. Right now, just looking at it makes me cry.”
Jian pulled Danwoo’s clothes tightly and buried her head in his chest.
“Danwoo, I find it so hard to fight against myself. But I’m really fortunate that you came. …Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought about going back.”
Jian had been constantly fighting with herself for the past two days.
Even though Jaeyoon had died, she thought she shouldn’t despair. But the more she tried to be resilient, the more mistakes she made, thinking about the wrongs one after another.
Although Juyeon said that pain and sorrow over illness will pass, it was hard to believe those words.
“Thank you, Danwoo.”
Even though every moment was full of apologies and regrets, she said thank you.
Since Danwoo learned about Jaeyoon’s death, he wanted to turn back the time when Jian was alone and in pain. Although he couldn’t reverse the past, from now on, he didn’t want to leave Jian alone.
With his lips against her forehead, Danwoo said, “Now, don’t go anywhere. Just stay by my side.”
If it’s sad, then as sad as it is, if it hurts, then as painful as it is. Living like that, you’ll also encounter happy moments. If you’re with a good person, do you really need another reason? Just live, caring for each other.
Danwoo pondered his thoughts while patting Jian’s back.
⭐⭐⭐
Whether she had fallen asleep or not, when Jian’s hand, which was holding onto his clothes, fell down, Danwoo quietly left the room.
He placed his laptop and tablet on the dining table and turned them on. Logging in with the Play Round representative account, he opened the first file in the document folder.
[Spring in the Attic.]
“Spring in the attic. Nice.”
He meticulously examined the proposal for the Spring Festival, a seasonal event of Play Round.
His gaze stopped abruptly as he read through the garden design plan to be installed in the square and the central hall of the library, along with the garden company’s history.
Remembering Jian saying she cried at night, he stopped his hands and eyes, perked up his ears, but it was quiet.
Lowering his gaze again, he struggled with the report for a while. It was when Danwoo was massaging his stiff eyes and neck that he heard a sobbing sound from Jian’s room.
He pushed the chair back, got up, and peered into Jian’s room.
Jian, crouched down like she was sobbing in her sleep, murmured something like sleep talking. Then, her back began to shake irregularly, and she started crying sadly.
As he pulled up the crouched small body and wiped away the tears, Danwoo’s hand quickly became wet with tears. Lying side by side, Danwoo pulled her close and patted her back. Jian’s sobs gradually intensified to the point where her chest heaved vigorously against Danwoo’s chest.
‘She cried alone like this. Crying so much that she couldn’t control it. How difficult it must have been.’
Thinking that Jian had cried alone like this every night, Danwoo felt his heart thinning, as if it were slowly sinking into something indescribable.
Hugging Jian even more tightly, Danwoo’s voice scattered around her forehead.
“Cry as much as you want. It’s okay to cry if you need to. It’s okay.”
Jian, who had been crying laboriously while muttering to herself, whimpered, gasping for breath.
“Dad. Dad’s gone… What do I do? Dad’s gone. What do I do now?”
“Jian.”
As Jian’s cry, released unconsciously, didn’t easily subside, Danwoo felt like it was piercing his heart.
“Is it a bit better?”
“…….”
“Jian.”
Danwoo called Jian’s name quietly.
Even though she cried so painfully, all Danwoo could do was call her name, wrap his arms around her shoulders, and pat her back.
After wiping the tears from Jian’s eyes, still wet with tears, Danwoo patted her back.
“I’ll put you to sleep again. … If you want to cry, you can. It’s okay.”
“Yeah.”
⭐⭐⭐
When Jian fell asleep, she cried sadly again as dawn broke. While Danwoo, who had consoled her, slept beside her, morning arrived.
Jian felt a sense of presence during her doze and opened her eyes wide.
Though Danwoo was comforting her by hugging her shoulders, remembering the events of the previous night, she sighed. The memory of Danwoo comforting her and urging her to sleep whenever she cried intensively during unwanted dreams came to her mind.
The warmth from a person’s body didn’t quite lift her spirits like the past few days.
Jian gently held Danwoo’s cheek that had been troubled by lack of sleep.
At that moment, Danwoo slowly patted her back and spoke.
“Awake? Did I fall asleep while comforting you?”
“Did my crying startle you?”
“I knew. Aunt mentioned it. She said you laughed gently during the day but cried alone at night.”
So he said he was going to sleep. Nights alone must have been scary.
Tears welled up again in Jian’s eyes as she burrowed deeper into Danwoo’s embrace.
She wanted to talk about the dreams she had every night about her dad. Enduring those melancholic moments alone was too challenging.
“Keep dreaming about dad. When you turn your head after wandering in a strange place, dad is standing there. But no matter how close I get, I can’t reach his hands. It’s too desperate.”
Danwoo recalled Jian’s voice, choked with tears, as if her dad’s death was his fault.
It’s nobody’s fault.
If every day felt like last night, Jian might not be able to sleep at all. Danwoo knew her fear better than anyone.
“It’s not your fault. Don’t blame yourself.”
Danwoo remembered the conversation with Dr. Joo from the previous evening.
『No one can accept such sudden news calmly. People either fall apart or pretend to be okay but can’t really accept it. It takes time because humans aren’t perfect beings.』
As morning came, Danwoo silently watched Jian, who had stopped crying from the night before.
After preparing breakfast, Jian looked at Danwoo’s empty bowl and hastily cleared the table. Her bowl, piled so high that the bottom was visible, was almost the same as the first time.
Turning on her fully charged phone, Jian became anxious as she looked at several missed calls and her unapproved absence.
At that moment, Jian started urging Danwoo to go to Seoul. Although her voice and face were brighter than usual, Danwoo felt a pang in his heart.
Having breakfast together, Jian suddenly suggested going to Seoul.
