“Oh really, you’re not going to tell me?!”
" .. no "
When I asked Choi Yeonjun why he cried so loudly yesterday, he just kept his mouth shut and said, "I don't know."
No matter how much I thought about it, it was clear that something was wrong, and I wanted to know why.
“Why can’t you tell me? Why?”
" .. no "
“Ha.. Really”
Why on earth did I cry so sadly yesterday?
at that time,
Ding dong,
" ..? what "
“ … ”
I haven't ordered any deliveries recently. Aside from deliveries, my doorbell hasn't rang. Who is it?
Swish,
“Who are you? What is it, a flower?”
A wooden basket filled with red flowers stood in front of the door. There was no indication of who had sent it, nor was there any indication of who exactly it was intended for.
I took the flowers to Choi Yeonjun just in case.
“Did you order this?”
“..where did you get that?”
"At the door. Someone left it there."
“Do you know what kind of flower that is?”
“ ..? ”
It looked like a flower I'd seen somewhere before. It had red leaves and thin, upward-stretching stems.
“I think I’ve seen it somewhere, but I don’t know exactly what it is...”
“That’s a flower called a daisy.”
“Companion flower..? Oh, I remember.”
“..is that what that old woman did?”
"Huh? Who are you?"
"That flower is used to sever ties that have existed in our world."
” … “
"If we drink tea with that flower, we can sever any fateful bond. Whether it's a bad one or a fateful one."
“But why this flower...”
“Someone wants to break up our relationship.”
“Who..?”
"..someone who feels sorry for you"
I didn't understand. Choi Yeonjun is a god. How can you deny the choices of such a being? And isn't this a challenge to God?
Why did I do this to you?
"Then I'll just throw this away."
Swish,
widely,
" ..? what are you doing..? "
" .. wait for a sec "
“ … ”
“Don’t throw it away just in case.”
" yes..? "
" .. just in case "
“Choi Yeonjun, you won’t marry me?”
"That's not it..."
"But why do you want me to leave this alone?"
“..are you really going to marry me?”
It's definitely strange. Apparently, just a few days ago, the person who was singing the song asking for marriage is now...
I'm anxious. I'm constantly anxious about something.
“..Mr. Choi Yeonjun”
" uh..? "
“What on earth are you so anxious about?”
“ … ”
".. Look, you're not telling me again"
” … “
“I’m worried, Choi Yeonjun.”
” ..!! “
How can I be at ease when the person I like is so anxious?
"Anyway, I like Choi Yeonjun. That's why I want to marry him."
” … ”
“Don’t be anxious about my answer.”
“I.. really”
“ ..? ”
“.. The more you go, the better it gets, what should I do?”
“ … ”
For the first time, Choi Yeonjun showed a sad expression and told me he liked me. He always said it with a smile, but he spoke to me with a face that looked like he was about to burst into tears.
Like someone who shouldn't like me anymore
I hope that by any chance, it is not that kind of fate.
No matter how much I think about it, that kind of relationship is such a sad one.
That night,
I searched about the flower called "Sangsahwa." Its flower language is "impossible love," and it's a flower that often appears in movies and dramas with sad endings.
"I hope that our relationship ends because you feel sorry for me..."
So does that mean that someone thinks that my relationship with Choi Yeonjun will cause me harm?
Why are you saying you're suffering damage..?
The more I thought about it, the more complicated it became. My mind became increasingly tangled with questions that seemed to follow one another.
at that time,
thud,
A woman came in through the window.
"Ugh... your house is always hard to get into"
“Who are you?”
"Me? You don't remember? I still have the ring."
"A ring..? No way.. "
“I have many different appearances due to my job.”
“But why did you come here?”
"I guess we haven't told you anything yet since you don't know why I came."
” ..? “
"Did you get my gift? If it had gone well, it would have arrived this morning."
“Are you the one who sent me flowers?”
People who feel sorry for me, and at the same time, people who wish for my relationship with Choi Yeonjun to end.
"Yeah, that's right. It's me."
"Why? I heard that flower is used to sever ties."
“..Do you know when you will die?”
" yes..? "
“Do you know that Choi Yeonjun’s greed is putting you in constant danger?”
“..?! What the heck is that..?”
"The day you first saw me, you were destined to die. There, very cold and sad."
“ ..!! ”
“I don’t know why, but at that moment, Choi Yeonjun chose you as his bride, and although I tried to stop him, it was God’s choice, so I gave you the ring.”
" then.. "
"Even God cannot change one's original destiny. Especially not the destiny of 'death'."
” … “
“Because you were destined to die that day, that fate is coming to you now, faster and stronger and more painfully.”
” … “
It was a shock. A shock beyond words. The fact that I was destined to die that day, that I was alive because of Choi Yeonjun's choice, and that I was now in such danger, was utterly shocking.
So you were alone and anxious, unable to tell me.
"..I sent you those flowers because I feel sorry for making a big mistake to you"
” … “
"If we drink tea with those flower petals, that ring will disappear and the relationship between you and Choi Yeonjun will be severed, never to be reunited again."
” … “
“Hurry up and drink that tea and go live your life.”
“ … ”
“It wasn’t the fate I wanted in the first place.”
It wasn't the fate I'd originally hoped for. It was just that, with the insertion of that ring into my otherwise ordinary life, Choi Yeonjun entered my life.
It was a life I neither wanted nor welcomed, but rather one that felt forced upon me.
But why do those words sound sad to me now?
How much did I like Choi Yeonjun in such a short time that this fate feels so tragic?
“So… does that mean I’m going to die somehow?”
“Because that’s your destiny.”
“..I have to end it with Choi Yeonjun no matter what?”
" no way.. "
” ..? “
"Do you love me too?"
“..I don’t know about that”
“ … ”
“One thing is for sure, I don’t want to break up.”
“..Why did you and Choi Yeonjun love each other so much?”
“Does Choi Yeonjun love me?”
".. they say sad love lasts a long time, but you guys.. "
” … “
at that time,
bang,
“What are you doing?”
“Mr. Choi Yeonjun..?”
“.. We have to do it like this”
The door slammed shut and Choi Yeonjun burst into my room. He looked furious and ready to kill her.
“..what on earth are you saying to him”
“This is a story that even this child will have to know someday.”
“Why are you doing that!!”
“ ..!! ”
It was the first time I saw Choi Yeonjun so excited and angry.
“Because it’s a story you can’t tell.”
" what..? "
“You could never tell that story to this child.”
“Why..ㅅ”
“You love this kid right now, don’t you?”
“ … ”
“No one can tell that story to the person they love.”
” … “
Where on earth did our fate go wrong?
It was clearly destined to love each other, but why did that love have to be a sad love?
