Timeless Love's
Beginings

Hagi stood in front of his app that was still on his back while staring at the family photo from the first time he entered the work room of his app, Hagi would not reprimand his app that clearly already knew his arrival, Hagi would just wait for his father to speak.

"Hagi_ya. You know, it used to be very difficult to get your eomma. Appa has to learn as much as you do, your grandfather said he didn't want to have a weak son-in-law. Because loving your mother seems not to think long and immediately agree to the terms that your grandfather gave. Appa trained hard for 2 years and finally your grandfather admitted appa and wanted to marry appa to your eommamu. After marriage appa knows if your eommamu is stronger than appa and it makes self-esteem appa hurt, she said, until your oppamu was born after continuing to train with your grandfather until he knew if in fact this family had a tradition where the girls are obliged to be as strong as your mother, you know what tradition?" Hagi gave a small nod as Mr. Kim turned around and looked at Hagi inside.

Mr. Kim sat down with Hagi who was also seated. They were facing each other, staring at each other. Usually Hagi had never looked at his father all this time. He would bow a lot when his father looked at him sharply. But this time his gaze was so sad, different from usual.

"I hope you can survive later, the provisions I gave you all this time I hope enough for you to return. Remember I won't apologize for what I've done to you all this time. But you should know I always loved you that's why I'm so hard on you." Hagi frowned, but he did not ask much because Hagi was sure that his app would not give him a puzzle that he could not solve. All Hagi could catch from his app saying was that Mr. Kim told him to leave and asked Hagi to return safely.

Mr. Kim opened a small drawer next to him, took out a white envelope and placed it in front of Hagi.

"That's a birthday present from Appa." Hagi opened the envelope in front of him with a plane ticket and a new passport in his name. A week-long trip to Jeju, between joy and disbelief, Hagi stared at his father, who was still looking at him.

"Apa sure you gave this to me? And I'm leaving alone?" Hagi asked reassuringly what he saw before him.

"I've told you that if you're twenty you can go anywhere alone." Hagi nodded happily then looked at the plane ticket in his hand again.

"But why go to Jeju? Why not just go to Europe? Cadis for example appa? You know I like Europe?" Hagi tried to bid but his app immediately looked at him sharply.

"Can't you go to Jeju first. Once you get home I won't ban you wherever you want Hagi." Hagi pursed his lips while looking down.

"All right..." Mr. Kim slashed his breath, he had never spoken this leisurely with Hagi, it felt very tense as well as agitated.

"Magi you know? Everyone in this world must have a duty or reason to be born into this world. Whether it's for himself or just for someone else." Hagi nodded in understanding that his father always taught him that every time he started his training.

Mr. Kim again put something in front of Hagi, this time a cloth bag made of silk cloth with sun ornaments and also a dragon.

"That's the prize of your victory today. Wear it wherever you go. That necklace will probably lead you to the reason you were born." Hagi frowned again confused, his app gave him too much PR for him to solve. But again, Hagi just stood still and opened the cloth bag before him. A sun-shaped wooden hanger in the center of which was a circular dragon, there was a face in the middle of the dragon, but it was not so clear.

"That's the Kim family crest, the Kim family has long since given the hanger to the first daughter of the Kim family when she was twenty years old. That's why it's a little old-fashioned and old-fashioned." Hagi nodded in understanding he just stared at the hanger inside. There was something that made him feel attracted to the worn-out hanger in his hand.

"Get in good stead maybe you'll leave that to your son too." Hagi nodded again he put the hanger in his sweater along with the plane ticket.

"Now you can go, tomorrow you'll be ready to go to Jeju in the morning." Hagi nodded again then left his father's room with a thousand questions that he would start to put together.

The wind blew fiercely against the mountains of Jeju island, making Hagi who did not make any preparations about the storm grumble annoyed. While running around Hagi trying to find a place to shelter, Even though the possibility is very small in the mountains like this there is a shelter. Hagi continued to stumble, not stopping to fumble.

"What a good hike, why no notice at all. Argh!!." Hagi almost fell down when the terrain he was descending was getting slippery, fortunately he was holding on to the rocks even though his hands became slightly injured because of it.

"Hiks why not just Europe anyway, I won't be this hard, or why not just have fun at the resort instead of hiking like this." Hagi began to cry when it felt like the rain was getting heavier and the fact that he was still far from where he was headed.

As if to answer his anxiety, Hagi found a small cave above where he was walking, with the rest of his strength Hagi tried to crawl towards the cave which seemed good for shelter until the rain subsided. Although not too big and a little moist, Hagi breathed when he arrived in front of the cave. With the provision of potluck Hagi began to treat his wounds with a medicine box that he always carried everywhere, even though the size is small, in it is all-round. It did not take long for Hagi to wrap his wounds, he was used to the wounds on his body so it was easy to treat any wounds. Not because he was a prospective doctor, but his habit of always being injured made him an expert in self-medication.

Hagi again slashed his breath when he saw the sky was still gray, rain and lightning mutually said. He was not afraid of lightning or rain, which he hated only the coldness that began to infiltrate his body.

The warmer air of the cave made Hagi look back, the logic of this place should be a little windy and cold. But after Hagi treats his wound the air inside the cave turns warm, making Hagi curious and also starts to walk more and more into the small cave, whether it was just a hallucination or indeed Hagi felt that there was a stream in the small cave. With the illumination of the small flashlight that Hagi brought, Hagi walked increasingly into the cave.

"I just found out there's a stalactite cave in Jeju." Hagi muttered little, he rarely goes alone, but that doesn't mean he never goes to Jeju where his family has a large Orange garden, so that Hagi always read anything about Jeju that he thought was very beautiful.

Again bad luck happened to him, Hagi was very careful but he did not realize there was a big hole in front of him, making him mired far while shouting hysterically enough. Until finally Hagi fell into the water and washed away by the current.

Hagi tried to rely on his skills in swimming, but the river flow was so swift that it made Hagi several times drown. Hagi again rounded his eyes in panic when he saw the flow of the river goa was starting to disappear, a waterfall awaits him. his swimming skills seemed useless when Hagi fell back to the bottom of the waterfall and several times hit the rocks, but as much as possible Hagi protected his head because if not, Hagi would have died at that time at the bottom of the waterfall that he had just passed. When he reached the bottom of the waterfall, Hagi used the rest of his puddles to reach the riverbank and when he reached the river the consciousness disappeared from his body.

Mr. Kim sat pensively in front of his office desk, several times the phone on his desk rang loudly, but there was no intention even if the old man picked him up. Several times his breath was worried. At that time, Mr. Kim came crying, Mr. Kim stood up to welcome his beloved wife and hugged the strong woman who rarely even cried in front of him tightly.

"What if he doesn't come back? I'll lose him forever." Kim continued to cry, making Mr. Kim finally drop the tears that he had endured since.

Since Hagi's departure to Jeju, master Kim could not do anything, he was just busy pensive considering how time was up just to scold Hagi that only daughter. Kim's family tradition made him do the best he could as a father to Hagi.

"No, he's definitely back. I'm sure it's, he's not a weak yeoja, he's smart too, you don't forget it baby. He's our son." Madam Kim still cried hysterically, in fact she also did not allow Hagi to leave, but Hagi's grandfather's words, leaving Madame Kim with no other choice.

"Now that you go home I've told Yesung to follow Hagi to Jeju, we don't know what it will be like, but we'll keep watch for every possibility, you understand?" Lady Kim shook her head weakly as she hugged her husband tighter and tighter.

" Let me here, I can't wait at home alone." Mr. Kim breathed a limp sigh and hugged his wife tightly.

"Yes you're right, I can't wait alone either. She's my daughter." The two husbands again dissolve in grief, blaming how strange fate must stop by in his family.

Yesung stared fretfully out the window of his hotel room, since last day until the evening the rain did not stop. Several times he tried to contact his favorite saeng but only the operator answered. Yesung was in fact fully dressed with the tools he needed to climb, but the postman did not allow him to leave when sudden information about today's storm came before he passed the post. With a little force in the end Yesung could only wait at the hotel worriedly. Rescuers also could not penetrate the heavy rain because it would only add to the list of lives that must be saved.

"Are you okay, saeng?" Yesung stared at the darkness of the night wistfully as a hand grabbed him from behind.

"He's a strong oppa yeoja, Hagi must be fine. He should be fine, shouldn't he oppa?" Yesung turned to look at Yeoja who was also just as worried about him, his lover, and Hagi's closest friend, Park Hyunmie.

"Ne she should be fine. He couldn't make many people who loved him anxious." Yesung hugged his lover tightly sharing a sense of comfort so that the anxiety of the two was slightly reduced. Yesung accidentally invites Hyunmie after his lover finds out about Hagi who went to Jeju Island, Hyunmie is the one who knows the least about Kim's family. She is equally anxious when she finds out all about Hagi. For Hyunmie, Hagi is her guardian and best friend.
