5. The building on the hill

^^^Flashback^^^

Baek Hyun and Hana sat on a cliff below which lay a river. Across the river rises the church roof building with a cross on its top. The view looked even more beautiful with the twilight sun behind it. It was the building that Baek Hyun had been working on with his colleagues and it was the scene that Baek Hyun and Hana always saw when dusk arrived. They are grateful that in the circumstances they are now, they have never been sick and starved. The thing that is more grateful to both of them is when they can still smile and even laugh happily even in a state of deprivation. ^^^

The building where Baek Hyun worked has been completed in 8 months. It was their last night there. Baek Hyun and Hana will continue their journey as far as possible to get to where they do not need to hide anymore in their activities. ^^^

^^^“Hana ..” ^^^

^^^“Eum?” ^^^

^^^“Do you still want to live with me like this?” ^^^

^^^Hana turned her body towards Baek Hyun. “Of course. It's much better than taking me to death like yesterday.” ^^^

^^^“Why do you still remember that?” ^^^

^^^“That was the most terrible thing I have ever experienced, certainly not forgotten. I want to be with you under any circumstances, just don't take me dead again.” ^^^

Baek Hyun smiled. “I promise I won't take you dead again. Then do you want to be my wife?" ^^^

^^^Hana was silent for a moment. But he could not help his smile of happiness. Those were the words he had been most looking forward to all this time. “Don't we always say that to others? It's just we're not really married." ^^^

^^^"You want to marry me?" ^^^

^^^ Hana felt wrong. But he tried to keep his attitude. “Where are we married? Wouldn't it be dangerous if anyone recognized us?” ^^^

^^^ Baek Hyun turned his body around to face Hana. “It doesn't have to be in the church. There must be no pastor or congregation. We just need a God who bears witness to the covenant and who puts blessings and blessings upon us,” Baek Hyun said as he stared at the cross that seemed to glow because the sunlight was right behind him. ^^^

^^^ Baek Hyun grabbed onto Hana's two hands while staring at the girl with sincerity. “Hana .. I take you to be my wife, to take care of you, faithful in hard and happy circumstances, in abundance and lack, in good health and in sickness, in good health, to love and cherish you until death do you part. God is a witness to my promise to you.” ^^^

^^^ "Now it's your turn," said Baek Hyun. ^^^

^^^ Hana was dumbfounded looking at Baek Hyun. "I don't know his words." ^^^

^^^ Baek Hyun chuckled. Actually, he just remembered and said it as if. Of course, he did it with all his heart. ^^^

^^^ "Follow my words," said Baek Hyun with confidence. ^^^

^^^ Hana nodded while closing her eyes. ^^^

^^^ "Don't close your eyes, but look at my eyes with a feeling." ^^^

Hana opened her eyes again. With one breath becomes a signal if he is ready to say the promise. ^^^

^^^ "Start by saying my name," pinta Baek Hyun. ^^^

^^^ "Baek Hyun ..." ^^^

^^^"I took you to be my husband." ^^^

^^^"I take you to be my husband" ^^

^^^ "To take care of you," ^^

^^^"Setia is in a state of difficulty or pleasure," ^^

^^^"In abundance and lack," ^^

^^^"In good health or in sickness," ^^

^^^"Love and cherish you until death do you part." ^^^

^^^"God is a witness to my promise to you.” ^^^

^^^ Baek Hyun took the ring from his pocket, and put the ring on Hana's finger. The woman looked glum as she stared at the ring on her finger. ^^^

^^^ “What about me? I don't have a ring for you?” ^^^

Baek Hyun took one more ring and placed it on Hana's palm. The woman looked at him in disbelief. The ring was given when he was about to part with Baek Hyun 16 years ago. ^^^

^^^ “You still save this?” Hana was both happy and moved. ^^^

^^^ “Isn't this your guarantee? You said you'd pair it yourself if I really married you. ^^^

Without waiting for long, Hana grabbed Baek Hyun's hand and placed the ring on his ring finger. The man grabbed Hana's head and lovingly kissed the girl who was now his wife before the Lord. ^^^

^^^ *** ^^^

Baek Hyun was instantly silent. His mind raged and his feelings began to fidget.

"He asked us to provide a place and he was willing to bear all the necessary expenses. What do you think?”

Baek Hyun did not respond immediately. He also doesn't know what to say.

“Rain??”

“Oh it .. I haven't thought about it.”

"We are of course counting on you in this. Your arrival with your wife has changed a lot here. Whaddya think? Wouldn't this be a good thing for our Hamlet. He said our place has an incredible appeal. It could be after this, our hamlet will be known to many people and we will also get income. Our hamlet can be more crowded and advanced from now on."

Baek Hyun was stunned listening to the old man's words. There is a point as it says. It's just, what about her with Hana. This will obviously be a problem for them. But he could not ignore the wishes of the village leader for his sake.

"Are they really going to hold that activity here?”

“They have confirmed it. Just waiting for our approval and readiness.”

“If they can afford to spend the cost first, we will provide a place for them. There's a nice place on the hill. We can build an inn there. Later if someone comes again, we can rent the place and the results can we share for the population or we use for the progress of this Hamlet. The money that they will buy us entirely we use to buy building materials and for the wages of the residents who help. We will build an inn made entirely of wood that reflects the building of the houses of the people in this hamlet.”

"I thought you must have a good plan" Aspir said.

Baek Hyun smiled faintly. It had indeed been long thought of by him after seeing the scenery on the hill.

“So we'll make a building out of wood on that hill?"

“Iya ... We use our resources instead of buying from out there. So we can save costs and the money can be used as wages for the residents who help."

“Alright, I'll talk about it with them.”

“They are still here?”

"Yes, they're staying in any village. I promised I'd see them after talking to you about this. Do you want to come see them?”

“It seems I can't. I'm sorry.”

It'sit's okay. This is my responsibility. Ah about the funds earlier, let's accompany me to calculate how much we need.”

***

Everything goes according to plan with Baek Hyun himself who is trusted as the leader of the project. Their work can go well. The building designed by Baek Hyun stood firmly within 3 months at the top of the hill with a panoramic view that is so charming. Anyone will be amazed by the scenery there, and it will likely make them intend to stay there again.

The self-designed place by Baek Hyun is a great place for anyone with financial support to take a vacation or just to rest their mind. Not to mention the peaceful atmosphere of the hamlet and the pattern of life that is still natural. There are no vehicles that cause pollution, there is no garbage scattered here and there. The scope of the hamlet that is not so broad makes its citizens able to keep their environment clean.

Baek Hyun himself was satisfied with his hard work with the residents. Even the people who help. They feel comfortable working under Baek Hyun. What else from their hard work, they can get a commensurate wage. Not looking at young parents, even children all who work get the same wages. They also asked Hana's opinion to use their money, because the villagers did not understand very well about household appliances.

"Just collect as much money as possible. If it is enough, we can buy solar power panels.” said Baek Hyun while embracing Hana's shoulders.

“What is it?" Ask one of the people.

“Sort of tools that can accommodate the heat of the sun that can later be used to turn on electric lights. So at night we no longer need to use oil lamps.”

“Wah .. that sounds great. Our village will be so bright in the night.”

“Because just collect the money. We can order the tools later to the city.”

"I got word that they're coming in less than a month. Can you be with me to welcome them later?"

"I don't think I can?"

"can't? Why?"

Baek Hyun looked at Aspir deeply, as if there was something hesitant for him to tell.

"It seems like there's something you want to tell me" the old man understood what Baek Hyun's view meant.

Baek Hyun took a deep breath. It may be time to tell her true past.

“Wuaaaah ..” Chanyoel was fascinated by the building that would become their inn during filming.

“Not in vain I spent a lot of money yesterday. They prepared everything to reach my expectations. Although they were only people who lived far away in this remote place. But they were able to prepare everything this perfect.”

“How do we buy our groceries? I heard the market is just across the village. That too there is a day.”

“You just calm down. The residents of this hamlet are fishing and farming livelihoods. They often sell it to the other side of the village. You can enjoy all your seafood here. There will be scane fishing with fishermen and also farming with residents.”

“Really ... " Chanyoel's eyes sparkle with pleasure.

"Yes ..that's our goal for a week here. Become a true citizen of the village. You have to be ready and look as much as possible. Said the director while patting Chanyoel on the shoulder.

“Of course. I'll do it as best I can. I'll love it.” Chanyoel said excitedly.
