Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 644 - Meaningful answer
...***...
"Why should you take me? What's your purpose?"
"A good question. I came here and intended to take you in fact just because I wanted to fulfill all my promises that I haven't had the time to fulfill to you."
"Promise?"
"Yes, promise. I felt really unsettled, and repeatedly felt guilty because I couldn't keep my promise to you. Therefore, I sought you out to this day and wished I could bring you back so that I could keep all my promises. It sounds selfish, doesn't it?"
"Where did you come from?"
"From a place far away, and you can never even imagine, and a place you will never remember. Because the memory of all that, is buried deep in the memory of your brain."
"Maybe I don't know where you're from. But hearing what you said just now, it seems like you're so sorry that you did everything you could to keep your promise."
"Very. In fact, I feel like I'm no longer alive if I can't keep that promise."
"really? But what if you don't even remember me? Are you going to keep saying the same thing?"
"If I were you, and thought that promise was very important to you, maybe I would do the same. I will try to meet that person and fulfill my promise so that I can feel relieved. But I won't force her if she doesn't want to go with me. Because that's where I'll realize my efforts are in vain, and that means I have to be willing to give up all those promises. Anyway, you have to survive. At least one day, that promise will lead you to a change you never imagined."
Louis remained silent. The words from Yeon-woo were enough to give an answer for her. Now all he had to do was let everything go according to the will of time, and the decision was no longer in his hands. Except in Yeon-woo's hands.
"Thank you for giving me such a meaningful answer, and now I understand what I have to do. All the answers I seek are in your hands. And whatever your decision is, I'll try to accept it." Louis smiled.
"Actually, what promise are you trying to fulfill?"
"I think it's better I don't say it and I better not tell you." Louis got up from his place. Before leaving, he said, "That's all I wanted to say. It seems better I come back."
"Where are you going?" Yeon-woo gets up.
"To where I should be. Oh yeah, there's one more thing I want to say. Hurry back, because your parents are worried about you. Don't stay here too long. I don't want you to regret that until something happens that we don't want. Then I'm leaving." Louis turns around about to step away, but Yeon-woo pulls his shoulder trying to stop his departure.
