Fall

타락(fall); 10(end)













A word like miracle, which is so improbable,





The absurd word 'miracle' was so desperately needed.





If there is such a thing as a miracle, I hope it will come to us and love us.





But no miracle came.





It was hopeless.





“Welcome, I’ll help you order a drink. Oh, you’re back again? Americano today, too?”





“... Yes. An Americano. Oh, and today, I’d like a chocolate Frappuccino, too.”





“You always stay alone until closing time. I guess you have a plan this time?”





“No, that’s not it. Let’s drink together.”





"... yes?"




"We close here at 6, right? There's no part-timers. Boss, let me play for a bit."





“...Okay. Let’s just finish for today.”

“So, what’s going on?”





“...Why did you quit your job?”





“...how do you know that?”





"Oh, my friend was in the marketing team. But I heard she retired. Is that why you opened this cafe?"





"... lie."





"yes?"





"That's a lie. That you have an acquaintance in the marketing team."





“I knew you wouldn’t believe me, Lady Yeoju. But is it true?”





“...This cafe was my dream.”





“...”





“The person I loved, no, the person I loved, I met him after seven years and he really liked Americano.”



“...”





“And he bought me a chocolate frappuccino, saying it would suit me well.”




“...”





“It was a bit too sweet at first, but the more I drank it, the better it got. No. Maybe it was because I was with him.”





“...”



"mister."





"... uh?"





"You're an old man. If you were going to erase my memories, why didn't you just erase them all? Why did you erase them so easily?"

“My lady...”





“What would you have done if you never knew I was an old man!”





“I was going to keep waiting.”





“I really... hate you. I really hate you.”





"... love you."





"... me too."

"This is home. How long has it been since you last came to my house? Ten years, I think."





"Yeah. Exactly 10 years. But she's changed so much. She's so Kim Yeo-joo-like."





“So, you don’t like it?”





“No. It’s too good.”





“... Hug me.”





“Our heroine-, at first she was just like a child, but when did she become so pretty and grown up?”





“Sir, I’m already thirty.”





“You’re still young.”





“That old man is too old!”





“Yes, yes, what our heroine said is right.”





“...no soul.”





“But how did your memory come back?”





“Taehyung came to see me. When I asked him who he was, just like before, he said nothing and just said that from now on, you’ll remember Kim Seokjin.”





“...”





“And then you said, ‘I should have loved you.’”





“...Kim Taehyung, he’s really kind. He may be a devil, but looking at him like this, it seems like there’s no boundary between devil and angel.”





“... Are you still a god?”




“... Do you know that, heroine?”





"huh?"





“I saved myself after you were punished and I died alone.”





“...”





“I’m really sorry, but you gave me that one last chance to survive.”





“Why are you apologizing, mister... Seriously. It’s so good...”





“So now I am human.”






“...What? Really?”





"huh."





“...I’m so happy, sir.”





“I’m not an old man anymore. I’m thirty-four now.”





“... Yes, honey.”





"uh?"





“What, isn’t that the title you wanted?”




Gravatar

“...I originally wanted to hear you call me oppa... but it’s actually better, honey.”





“This guy is real.”





"love you."





"... I love you too."











____________











Even though that miracle did not come to us





Something worse is coming.





Joy, happiness, love.





These three emotions illuminated our future.





Now no one has fallen or been saved





We are now in love.
