Hopefully Sky
Chapter 23
***Nam*, Gangnam Severance Hospital, December 21, 2016**…
The long dream I had was like returning my memories of all
the shadow that happened. How can I see Hyuk Jae's ghost? How about without the wrong feeling I fucked
the woman my sister loved so much? How did the figure of Joo Da In come back before me and become Hyuk Jae's lover who survived the accident six years ago?
I don't understand everything that's happened to me. One by one, events appeared in my brain. Even something beyond my memory appeared, as if to reveal all the truth
after 14 years have passed. But, one by
that one memory also disappeared as if I was reborn into the world with all the new memories…
“So, did you make Joo Hyuk and Hyo Joo meet? Then, what about me? My wife has remembered everything now,” Hyuk Jae scolded while watching the figure of Joo Hyuk who was sound asleep on the sofa of one of the hospital's VVIP rooms.
“All are back to normal. Awhile
again new year, yeiy,” exclaimed Chang
Mi is carefree as she glances at Hyuk Jae who is cynical as always.
“What is my destiny?” asked Hyuk Jae who suddenly sounded resigned.
“You, really love Yoo Da In? If true, I will release you now until the true fate reunites us,” said Chang Mi as she looked at Hyuk Jae who spontaneously looked at her with both eyes enlarged.
“Ma, you mean, all the trips I made weren't the end of my life?” hyuk Jae asked in disbelief and Chang Mi shook her head slowly.
“This includes your destiny. You
married to Yoo Da In, experiencing
accident, coma for six years, then reunite with your family. All because there must be something that you straighten out, whether it's about Joo Da In, the misunderstanding between you and Joo Hyuk and about all the plans and destiny that have been written.”
“I...still don't understand you mean?”
Chang Mi smiled meaningfully and tightly grasped Hyuk Jae's hand, leaving the treatment room where Joo Hyuk was still asleep. As if being carried into the past, a little girl was clearly in front of them.
The girl in the Junior High uniform had trouble grabbing the rope of a red balloon stuck in a tree branch. From a distance the figure of a boy with a jacket
yellow seemed to be watching him so closely. Slowly but surely, he approached the girl who kept jumping up and down to grab the balloon.
Shut up without a word and immediately climb a tree that was not too tall for him. He brought down the stuck balloon in less than a minute. He handed the balloon to the Girl who looked very astonished but, a carefree smile was engraved on her face when the Boy handed her the balloon.
“Mine,” she said flat.
“Thank you very much,” said the Girl cheerfully while looking up a little because The Child is taller than her.
“Your body is small for Junior High, multiply eat vegetables and drink milk.”
The two girls eyes instantly grew bigger with a reddened face.
“You're cold? Your face is red?” ask The Child.
“Hey, I'm angry now!”
Watching the Girl pout, she kept looking at him flat, then rubbed slowly the head of the Girl who still looked annoyed at him.
“Then what can make you angry from this moment is just me. If you feel angry, shout my name, Cha Hyuk Jae,” Hyuk Jae orders cold.
The girl's eyes re-enlarged after hearing Hyuk Jae's words, she brushed Hyuk Jae's hand off his head and stepped back to move away. Then he suddenly bends 90 degrees and makes Hyuk Jae smile without his knowledge.
“You seem to know who I am. Uprighten your body, do not be too formal in a sixth grade elementary school child like me, hahahahaha,” Hyuk Jae said
finally laughed off because he could not hold the gel.
The girl was so shocked after hearing Hyuk Jae's remark but, he remained bent over to cover up his embarrassment and nervousness after being bullied by Hyuk Jae whom he thought was older than him due to his height.
“Ka, you.definitely the grandson of Mr Cha Jeong Ahn? Thank you so much for your help in financing my father's heart surgery and my mother's blood donation. Because of you My mother can recover after giving birth to my sister, thank you very much, Mr.”
Hyuk Jae walked slowly towards the girl who was still bending over, and seemed to notice the sand under his feet that looked wet from the water droplets. For a moment, he looked up at the extremely clear sky, then looked back at the girl who was
still in the same position and slowly sounded his little sob.
Hyuk Jae grabs both arms and helps her to stand up. He saw the face of the Girl was wet, while his eyes examined every inch of the body of the girl who was now standing painstakingly before him.
“Yoo Da In? I know, I know you,” said Hyuk Jae quietly after noticing the nametag embedded in the school uniform of the Girl.
That girl named Yoo Da In could only nod.
“Te, thank you very much, Sir,” said Da In interrupted his sobbing.
Hyuk Jae smiled sinisterly as he nodded slowly after hearing Da In's words. He looked around and saw a Lavendel Flower lying under the tree where Da In's balloon had been stuck before. He hurried to get it and
handing it to Da In who instantly looked at him in wonder with a face that
it's been very wet.
“Receive,” said Hyuk Jae slowly, “hold first,” he added who immediately grabbed Da In's hand for not receiving the flowers.
“In, what is this?” da In asked while several times looking at the flowers in his hand as well as Hyuk Jae's face that looked red.
Hyuk Jae who looks nervous trying to take his eyes off the face of Da In who is so innocent.
“Me, marry me after you finish your studies. We met when you had all your dreams. Don't call me “Tuan” or anything. Because a husband and wife never
consider their partner higher or lower. I'm leaving, you keep the flowers
that's. I love you, my wife, Yoo Da In.”
A soft kiss landed on Da In's lips so quickly. A deeply shocked Da In tightly grasped the Lavendel Flower in his hand, his entire body trembling, tears flowing back down both of his cheeks. Soon he turned around, and immediately sat limp to the ground while looking at Hyuk Jae's back who had run quite far.
“Tu, God heard my prayer. Dad, Mom, you saw this, right? A, I, will work harder to get Dae Hyun out of the orphanage and raise him well. I promise,” Da In said with
a hoarse voice.
Meanwhile, Hyuk Jae who continued to watch the scene until the end seemed speechless, his eyes reddened and without warning, both of them, tears flowed down both of her cheeks as two familiar shadows crouched down on Da In's side while caressing her gently affectionately.
Hyuk Jae's eyes were fixed on Chang Mi who had been standing by his side while looking at Da In with a gentle smile that he had not shown since their first meeting.
“Nyo...Hwang, Mrs Hwang Chang Mi, you..”.
Chang Mi turned to look at Hyuk Jae who could not continue his sentence when so shocked by all the things he saw today.
“You were right about all your thoughts on the figure of Joo Da In. But, Joo Hyuk is also not wrong with his belief that Joo Da In loves him. Joo Da In who was born into a wealthy family and had access to know all about you from the beginning is already interested in you but, she gets caught up in some feelings for Joo Hyuk who treats her very well. Until finally, one
the incident at the club that day made him hate you both. He who really likes you also pretends not to know by calling you “Seo Min Hyuk”, so you think if he does not know about you who were born twins. With all the alibis he used, he cut off his relationship with Joo Hyuk
who loved her so much,” Chang Mi explained slowly.
“Eight years passed, his love
you faded until he found out that his new neighbor was you. At first he resigned and intended to stay away after knowing you were married. However, seeing all the affection you gave Yoo Da In, it made a fire
jealousy burns itself. With all his evil plans, he seeks to destroy your household by approaching Da In who believes in him so much. He who wants to snatch you from Da In, deliberately takes her away to Busan, showing the rooftop house where he and Joo Hyuk used to meet. He hopes Joo Hyuk meets Da In at the place and makes him think that Da In is the person he was looking for all this time because he remembers Joo
Hyuk did not have time to know his last name,” explained Michael who suddenly appeared on Hyuk Jae's left side.
“Tu, Sir, you..”.
Chang Mi and Michael smiled gently at Hyuk Jae who still could not believe what he was going through at that time.
“Don't want to hear the continuation?” asked Michael softly.
Hyuk Jae who was confused had a chance to shake his head but, quickly he realized and immediately nodded temporarily, Michael now joined in looking at Da In who was still sobbing in place.
“The highlight is on the night right after your birthday celebration, she accidentally broke into your apartment and kissed you on purpose and made Da In see all those events. You are very familiar with his face while, Da In is already in a very chaotic mind due to being shrouded in suspicion about the figure of Joo Da In was finally decided to leave you,” explained Chang Mi.
“He deliberately did not save Da In who he considered a bully, even though he clearly saw Da In's body squeezed in the elevator box between the ruins of the building. Also the ethics he found you after contacting his father who is the President Director at a hospital in Germany, he immediately took you, took care of you with special treatment and felt very happy when
knowing about your memory that was completely lost. Since then, she has been planning to marry you by making the most of it,” explained Michael.
“Yoo Da In, she grew up in a harsh environment with all her innocence after losing both her parents. Every day he had to work, study and care for Dae Hyun, his sister who was then two years old when his mother had to catch up with his father for “pulang”, due to kidney disease that he suffered, because of his mother,” said Chang Mi who looked so calm.
Chang Mi gently stroked Hyuk Jae's bowed head and was already sobbing in Michael's embrace back then.
“My son, thank you for all the help you and your family gave the little girl and her sister. Come back, I'm sure your family, Dae Hyun and Da In miss you very much now. Journey finished. God bless you guys,” Chang Mi said sincerely.
A gentle kiss from Michael on Hyuk Jae's forehead as well as the affection on his cheek from Chang Mi made them slowly disappear.
Whiter. Only the white mist I saw as far as I could see. And a gate opened wide in front of me, I saw Madam Hwang and Mr. Michael waving with happy smiles at me before finally, they vanished along with me who
drawn into a circle with the delicate fragrance of Lavendel Flowers.
Yoo Da In, I'm back…
