Regret: Chapter 1_The Problem

For those who want to empathize more deeply, I would appreciate it if you listen to it along with the song 'Inevitable'.








“….”

A woman with long, black hair fluttering in the wind is crying loudly. What could have happened? She is crying loudly in that empty place.

"Ah, it hurts more than I thought. It hurts so much. I was wrong. This wasn't something that could be resolved by enduring it."

In that forest where no one was present, or rather, in that forest where no one was thought to be present, a man was hiding behind a large oak tree. He was weeping quietly, so that the man wouldn't notice his presence.

‘Lee Soo, my Lee Soo…’

I keep repeating the name in my mind two, three, four times, even though I can't bring myself to say it out loud.

Han Lee-soo

The man sat silently for a long time, watching Lee Soo continue to cry, his voice as if he might collapse at any moment, telling her to leave. Leaning against a mulberry tree, he bowed his head, the one he'd always carried so well, and continued to chant Lee Soo's name inwardly.

"Why, why did you do that, Taehyung? Kim Taehyung, why did you do that-"

“!”

When my name came out of Lee Soo's mouth, my nerves twitched, as if a secret had been revealed. Hearing my name in his voice was quite exciting, quite painful, and quite empty.

“I’m sorry… Lee Soo. I’m really sorry, Han Lee Soo….”

"I'm sorry." He quietly muttered those three words, then lifted his bowed head and looked up at the beautiful night sky.

Why are these two people crying? Why doesn't he approach him? Their hearts seem to be on the same path, yet they seem distant. Why are they harming themselves?

There's always an answer to every question. The answers to most life's questions lie in the past. They're no different. The answers to their questions lie in the past.
