A Blinder
TWILIGHT SKY

Brake..!!!

Jaemin threw Areun's suitcase in front of his bedroom door. Mother and Aunt came out of the living room and approached to see what was happening. Grandfather who was walking near the stairs was surprised and came closer.

"Go you! I don't want to see a con man like you." Jaemin pushed Areun.

Grandfather immediately approached Areun who was still crying from earlier.

"Jaemin, what's wrong? Why did you drive out Areun?" Grandpa asked worriedly holding Areun's arm.

"He's been cheating us all in this house. He's not actually blind." Jaemin answered looking at Mother and Aunt. They look surprised to hear it.

"My plan worked this time. Jaemin was lured to me." Aunt recalled the incident when she and Jaemin's mother spoke. "Finally your secret is exposed rancid boy!" Aunt smiled with satisfaction.

"Areun can't leave this house!" Grandpa Exclamations. "Grandfather hasn't even changed the will, this house belongs to Areun."

"Well then." Jaemin answered Grandpa haughtily. "I'm the one who's leaving this house. Because I can't stay with a con man." Jaemin walked past Areun, immediately Areun drew Jaemin's hand.

"No no! You stay here!" Areun. Jaemin violently let go of Areun's hand. "Let me get out of this house." Areun wiped his tears with the back of his hand.

"Grandfather, let me go. I'm guilty and I deserve this." Areun clasped Grandpa's hand and tried to smile.

"It's not just your fault, Grandpa is also wrong to forbid you to tell the truth."

"No grandpa. Grandpa has protected me enough all this time. Please grandfather, change the will immediately under the name Jaemin. I beg you." Areun said to end his words then took out his suitcase.

Areun walked out of the main door. Grandfather could not hold back his tears, Grandfather cried. In contrast to Mother and Aunt who seemed satisfied to see this scene.

Outside almost dusk. Areun walked weakly towards the small gate specifically for passers-by. Suddenly Jay ran into the gate.

"Areon!" Call her. "I guessed it!" It was exciting to see Areun carrying his suitcase.

"Jay! What are you here for?" Ask Areun raucous.

"Come, let's go home first!" Take her to embrace Areun's shoulder to walk next to Areun with her other hand pulling Areun's suitcase out of the gate and ride in Jay's car parked in front of her.

Along the way Areun just kept quiet, leaning his head against the chair while his eyes looked blankly out. Jay sighed, still driving trying to understand Areun by not talking to him.

"I want to go to the beach." Areun did not change his position.

"All right, we're on the beach." Jay replied lightly changing the direction of the road to the beach.

They finally reached the beach. Areun looked far across the ocean. The sun was almost drowned giving an orange color in its sky. Jay faithfully accompanied Areun by his side.

In Areun's mind were thinking about Jaemin and everything that had happened. Crossed a song parts reference NCT 127 - Favorite.

Areun's tears fell from both of his eyes. Areun could not help but endure the pain that his heart was feeling right now. Jay hugged Areun in his chest.

"Cry Areun! When it can make your heart happy."

"I'm sorry you had to see me like this." Areun said in tears.

"I have calmed you often in tears. At a sporting event when you fall, at a parent's meeting, only Kasi's father comes. At the graduation ceremony. And so on I'll still be there for you Areun."

"It hurts more than all that. I expected a lot from this wedding, because I love Jaemin so much. This is the first time I have loved someone so deeply. But because of my mistake, my stupidity, I destroyed it."

"I'm sorry, I'm not vilifying your husband. But he should be able to accept your mistake, maybe he should be angry, but don't throw you out." Said Jay wise.

"A husband should be able to educate his wife, not punish his wife for making a mistake." Jay continued as they sat on their knees on the sand, and Areun stopped crying.

Areun put his head on Jay's shoulders, and his eyes straight ahead looking at the dark sea, Jay turned to look at Areun.

"Maybe this isn't fair, I'm not grateful for your circumstances, but I feel good to be back this close to Areun."
