Then, with her firmly connected lips slightly loosened, she laughed.
‘How did ‘we’ end up worrying about each other?’
‘How did ‘we’ end up like this?’
They already knew that their hearts were the same without exchanging words.
The fate where someone’s misfortune becomes my happiness.
That was how we lived, the path we had to take. We were well aware of it. However, it had become a truth that had already lost its meaning.
We no longer wished for each other’s unhappiness.
So, even if we fell into the center of an irreversible swamp, even if our bodies were swallowed, if that was the truth and sincerity, it was also an unavoidable inevitability.
“You know, San.”
Kang finally put an end to her contemplation about the things she had been thinking all along.
“I thought that doing what everyone else does and achieving everything I wanted was the only way to happiness.”
“…”
“But it turned out that wasn’t the case.”
She said this with a simple smile.
“Real happiness is reached when there’s nothing more to hope for.”
And hoping that this moment continues unchanged.
The reason he had tried not to admit that fact was that he wasn’t ready to bear the tremendous consequences that his choice would bring.
But not anymore.
“I was already a happy person.”
“…”
“Because of you.”
Because of you.
At those words, San’s gaze began to waver.
A statement that you, in and of yourself, make me happy.
That was the same thing he had told her.
And now, Kang was saying that she felt the same way.
She faced San with his wavering eyes and said,
“So even if I were to die tomorrow without any regrets, there’s something I must tell you today.”
In the moment when courage outweighs fear, a conclusion is drawn that one can live a more fulfilling life in this very short human existence.
Approaching San closely, Kang gently laid her finger on his fingertips, which were resting on the sofa.
“Thank you, San. And…”
She said with eyes shining like stars,
“I love you.”
She said, “I love you.”
It was more than a simple liking or romantic attraction. It was beyond those feelings.
Although it skipped several steps, she always thought it was better not to start if one didn’t have this level of commitment.
Closing the distance slowly, Kang brought her lips softly to his.
“Really much.”
“…”
“I love you.”
San’s eyes, which had been shaking with repeated confessions, stopped trembling, and finally widened.
As if the heart, which had been pounding as if it would burst, came to a sudden stop, the vision began to blur.
She closed her eyes softly and slowly moved her lips.
Then, hoping her sincerity would be conveyed, she offered a kiss full of affection.
Loving something non-human had become more difficult than facing an overwhelming aftermath. It was a choice that had become more challenging to turn away from that feeling now.
If she couldn’t convey this feeling today in a life where tomorrow was not guaranteed, she would regret it until the moment she died. Now that she was sure.
Feeling the faint trembling of his lips, San slowly closed his eyes.
“…”
“…”
The wall that should never crumble had collapsed, and the line that should never be crossed had been crossed.
There was no turning back.
Knowing that it would become something that couldn’t be stopped.
Knowing that the emotions pressed and pressed were unlikely to pass this night.
In fact, they already knew.
Calling a name is an act of conveying the heart.
And receiving a confession filled with heart is a gift to the soul.
It was a moment when the last puzzle piece of life, which they had always sought and couldn’t be filled by anything else, fit perfectly into the hole in their hearts.
The lips that had gently touched each other moved away with a faint tremor.
San, holding Kang’s neck with his hand, pulled her closer.
The lips, which had barely separated, came dangerously close again.
“Now we can’t go back to the way things were.”
“…”
“The wall has already crumbled.”
Patience had its limits.
A large hand enveloped her cheek, and their lips met again.
In response to the confession that had been so difficult to confess, San fervently responded.
He endured for a long time.
Being born as a being far from self-restraint to begin with, the reason he could withstand all the way to this point was that you, who seemed like you would shatter upon contact, were too delicate.
That’s how precious you were.
It was an affection that had piled up like a mountain over a very long time.
He swallowed her lips as if he would burn her body, burying his soul in the longed-for white flesh.
As Kang’s body, which had been pushed back, lost its balance and fell onto the sofa, San poured himself onto her.
To endure his unrestrained movements, the sofa seemed too narrow, and it felt like it might collapse.
Kang, who barely managed to withstand the overwhelming motion, finally let go.
“San.”
“Later.”
Supporting her slender body with his large hands on her back and thighs, he lifted her frail body.
“Ah…!”
The feather-light body that rose like a feather securely settled in the broad embrace.
As San turned to head towards the bedroom, the door automatically opened and closed.
In the indescribable tension, Kang unconsciously gripped his shirt tightly.
A long shadow was cast over Kang’s body, lying limp in the center of the bed.
With one hand unbuttoning the shirt, San gestured towards the window with the index finger of the other hand.
The window, wide open enough for the wind to blow in, closed, and soon made a solid click, locking securely.
It was a determination not to be disturbed at this moment, a commitment not to be broken.
Perhaps this night would become an unforgettable record until the moment of death.
At least tonight, nothing would disturb us.
No one would steal a glimpse of us.
No.
If they want to sneak a peek, let them.
This time, I will let the whole world know that you are mine.

“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
