Without You

I didn't expect it to turn out I was late and it all felt pointless

Year 1433

The day began in the afternoon when the waterfall in front of Kyuhyun emitted a golden incandescent glow that combined the reflection of the afternoon sun as well as the waterfall in front of him. Kyuhyun's eyes stared around trying to find something that might be left behind from the person he loved so much.

Today is exactly two months after Hagi disappeared this is also the third time Kyuhyun came to this waterfall, the last time coming here Kyuhyun can not find this waterfall again, like crazy people Kyuhyun kept looking for this waterfall because for him only this waterfall that seemed to give a bond to Kyuhyun if Hagi ever existed and ever so he loved.

If Nam Young hadn't hit and yelled at him to be patient maybe Kyuhyun would have just kept choosing to be in this forest instead of going back to Hanyang, Kyuhyun also remembered Hagi's last message if he should try to be happy with Hyunmie. Although it would be difficult for Kyuhyun to try.

"I thought you were here." Kyuhyun turned around and smiled at the friend before him and looked back at the waterfall before him.

"I just missed him and didn't expect this waterfall to reappear." Nam Young patted Kyuhyun on the shoulder and looked at the waterfall in front of him.

"Maybe he misses you..." Kyuhyun looked at Nam Young softly.

"Could it? I just wish he didn't miss me." Nam Young looked at Kyuhyun in wonder who was in reply to a small smile from Kyuhyun.

"He should be happy now if he doesn't lie." Nam Young looked at the curious Kyuhyun who was again staring at the waterfall before him while taking a deep breath.

"Something you didn't tell me?" Kyuhyun looked back at Nam Young with a small smile.

"That's a secret..." after saying that Kyuhyun left Nam Young who was getting curious last after defeating the assassins Nam Young only found Kyuhyun alone in this waterfall while crying staring at the waterfall with a gaze empty, it took at least two days for Kyuhyun to tell him everything about Hagi who was hit by an arrow as well as Hagi who just disappeared.

A month later after trying to live without Hagi, Kyuhyun could not stand it and finally returned to the island Jeju trying to return to a waterfall that was strangely lost in the swallow of the earth, it took a lot of effort for Nam Young to persuade Kyuhyun and finally succeed. The added head monk also explains all the wonders of the waterfall that Kyuhyun is looking for which sometimes appear and disappear due to the interest of the flow of time.

Even so, it is difficult for Kyuhyun to be far from Jeju Island so that sometimes he can not make him focus on his work. Inevitably King Sejong finally released Kyuhyun as his chief bodyguard and accepted Jong Seo's advice to make Kyuhyun the new governor of Jeju island. At first the Kim minister disagreed with His Majesty's decision because then Kyuhyun was far from the palace environment and it would be difficult for Kyuhyun to get a higher rank later, but after Jong Seo convinced his new father minister Kim to take off his youngest son.

Hyunmie himself had no objection at all to Kyuhyun's decision as to the origin of their peaceful life was more than enough what else after hearing the direct explanation from Jong Seo, Hyunmie finally understood that Jong Seo wanted to protect Kyuhyun and himself from the vengeance of Prince Suyang who would probably be felt by the two if it was still near the palace.

Minister Jang himself was arrested directly by Jong Seo a month ago what is more after Jong Seo's victory in the north, Jong Seo had a growing influence in the palace until it was easy for him to find the hiding place of minister Jang. The place where the head of the bodyguard himself was filled by Nam Young Hagi's rescue mission made King Sejong want Nam Young as his chief bodyguard for Changmin but it took a long time to recover Kyuhyun was sad because it turns out that Changmin was seriously injured but before leaving for Jeju for his appointment Changmin was already able to walk up and meet him to let go.

Changmin himself was honored as the head of the palace soldiers after what happened during the raid on the palace, knowing the ins and outs of the black world made the King interested in Changmin and raised him as the head of the palace warriors as the more followers the King had the better for the crown prince later on.

Nam Young looked at Kyuhyun wistfully just because he could see the waterfall back Kyuhyun looked happy already two months Nam Young rarely saw Kyuhyun smile with relief like now.

"Are you better?" Kyuhyun stopped his steps then looked at Nam Young wistfully.

"I'm not okay you know that, but at least that waterfall can make me better. Although I could at least feel the existence of Hagi, I only wished that I was the only one who felt this painful longing. Because it feels even more painful despite the most beautiful memories I remember." Kyuhyun smiled and then walked back to leave Nam Young who was breathing softly.

"You heard it was Hagi. He suffered so much from missing you. I hope as Kyuhyun said you are happy there."

2018 Year

The sky was getting late when Hagi arrived in front of the waterfall where he was last found two months ago, his eyes slightly glazed as he stared at the waterfall in front of him. A month ago, Hagi had run away from home and tried to find this waterfall again which somehow could disappear mysteriously.

Yesterday a longing for someone in the past came back to call him here even though he was not sure Hagi finally rediscovered this waterfall, wiping away the tears that started falling Hagi sat on the rocks in front of the waterfall, someone grumbled behind him then fell silent after seeing the waterfall before him.

"What'sthis? Obviously yesterday this waterfall does not exist, why appear again? Wow it's appropriate if this waterfall is called a ghost waterfall." That person then sat down beside Hagi then looked at Hagi who was still busy wiping away her tears.

"I promised him I'd be happy, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Hagi smiled and then looked back at the waterfall before her, she was angry at God because after the hard task she received and went home she did not get anything here, Hagi still lost the love he had relinquished in Joseon and his love that he had not even fought for here had run aground.

"Sometimes I still don't believe your story, but if you think about where else you've been for a year if you don't get lost in the middle of nowhere that you call travel time." Once again Hagi smiled, the reality was irreversible, his extended family knew where Hagi had gone for the past year, but not everyone could accept Hagi's story, his family eventually covered up by saying that Hagi had been helped by the locals and lost his memory so it is not found.

At least the story makes more sense than the time travel that Hagi experienced, people who are now next to him sometimes think the same thing if only he did not find Hagi collapsed in front of this mysterious waterfall.

"Nam Young_ssi is she okay?" Hagi muttered a little while staring back at the waterfall in front of him even though it was still clearly heard by the person beside him.

"That name again, I told you I'm Lee Hyuk Jae not Nam Young. Is my face so similar to that guy what?" Hagi stared confusedly at the namja beside him actually Hagi was talking to himself but considering the beginning of the meeting Hagi always called him Nam Young it seems that this namja is misunderstood.

"Ah sorry I was just talking to myself, but to be honest you do look like Nam Young just that your nature is different." Hyuk Jae nodded slowly it was possible that Nam Young whom Hagi mentioned was his great-grandfather.

Hagi looked at Hyuk Jae with a faint smile, Hagi did not expect that the person Hagi first saw in his time was the great-grandson of Nam Young, his best friend in Joseon. Hagi had indeed hoped to see someone similar to Nam Young in the future but Hagi had not expected it to be that fast.

Somehow they so often met accidentally, so often, by chance Hyuk Jae also likes to climb like Hagi and finally they decided to make friends considering that Hagi also owes Hyuk jae for helping him two months ago. It was like not parting ways with Nam Young, Hagi felt comfortable with Hyuk Jae despite their far-off nature of the same word.

"Didn't you want to see him? Maybe he's still waiting for you?" As if knowing what Hyuk Jae meant, Hagi again glumly made Hyuk Jae sigh softly.

At first Hagi was happy to be able to go home he did not expect after he disappeared in front of Kyuhyun, Hagi wakes up in his time although a little unsure because he saw Hyuk Jae at that time who happened to be similar to Nam Young but when he realized the clothes Hyuk Jae was wearing were different Hagi knew he had come home.

The arrival of Hagi in the welcome sobs his family, Mr. Park did not even hesitate to hug Hagi with tears, tears, yesung was on a business trip with Hyunmie in Portugal and after finding out his beloved sister was returning Yesung and Hyunmie went straight back to Korea.

Hagi's pleasure began to diminish when after a week in the future he did not see someone who had always been beside him who inexplicably Hagi was difficult to remember, the feeling of uneasiness began to haunt when he almost stepped on one month of his family did not even offend the existence of the person he was later.

Hagi still remembered the day by forcing Yesung to finally tell him where the person he had been for the past month had gone, yesung's words back then were even more painful than the farewell with Kyuhyun at the waterfall he had experienced back then.

"Oppa thinks as usual you'll forget about Kyuhyun so we're not talking about Kyuhyun in front of you. Now that Kyuhyun is married to a Chinese tycoon's son, you can't misunderstand Kyuhyun. Namja was stubborn enough to even get sick from being busy looking for you in Jeju for a few months Kyuhyun was even hostile to uncle Cho who asked him to stop looking for you. Uncle Cho finally brought Kyuhyun forcibly to China and settled there so that at least Kyuhyun could forget you if you were away from Korea. Several times Kyuhyun even managed to escape to Korea and was again caught by Cho's uncle. The highlight is Cho's ailing aunt and asks Kyuhyun to get married 3 months ago. I know how devastated Kyuhyun felt then when he frustratedly apologized for withdrawing his proposal to you. After her sacrifice and hard work to marry you Kyuhyun had to give up because this time the mother begged for her love. She says forever the woman she loves is only Hagi wherever Hagi is now. At that time we could not prevent Kyuhyun because we also did not know when you came home Hagi, we did not even know you were alive or not. Finally though a little disappointed with Cho's family we accepted Kyuhyun's decision and his family's. After that, we never communicated with each other again. Perhaps the Cho family is also ashamed of us for cancelling the proposal that Kyuhyun had submitted from 6 years ago."

At that time Hagi was crying bitterly he did not know if the man he always forgot turned out to have proposed to him a long time ago only at that time the Kim family tradition was still going on so that any applicant must at least master the science sword, archery were also martial arts, back then Hagi was too small to get married so Kyuhyun had to wait to marry her.

And somehow Hagi remembers everything when he was unconscious in Joseon, making Hagi even more tormented if he remembers Kyuhyun's struggle for Hagi to remember or just remember his name.

Hagi even got sick because he thought too much about all the stupidity and regret he felt until finally the longing for Kyuhyun made Hagi return to Jeju in pain, but in the end, Hagi could not find the waterfall anymore and cried in the middle of the forest, at that time, Hagi's condition was really bad, fortunately some climbers found him even though he was fainted and quickly rushed to the hospital in Jeju.

It took a long time for Hagi to accept everything if only he did not remember his promise to Kyuhyun in Joseon to be happy after returning home, his meeting with Hyuk Jae also made Hagi slightly better. At least two weeks ago, Hagi again wanted to start his lecture again the existence of Lecturer Lee Donghae also made Hagi feel he was still in Joseon because it was very similar to King Sejong.

Lecturer Lee once openly proposed to him even though he eventually had to resign because someone had proposed to him, at that time Hagi did not remember ever asking questions about her future husband but like something was covering his mind Hagi forgot to ask. Even so Lecturer Lee remained kind to him and became a place to share a good story after Hyunmie.

"We'd better get back, you said you started interning at one of the hospitals here today?" Hyuk Jae's words spread Hagi's long daydream, he just nodded his head and then stood up from his seat following Hyuk Jae.

"The hospital here seems to have only given me one month's clearance for an internship. The hospital in Seoul was planning to pull me out when I told you I wanted to be in Jeju." Hyuk Jae rolled his eyes slightly when he saw Hagi grumbling a little, for some people the thing that Hagi experienced was actually fun because we did not have to bother pleading for our internship place.

"Thank you just tell me who you're too genius everyone's still fighting over you after a year of your disappearance. They think it'd be a waste if you interned at this little hospital here." Hagi slashed a small breath it was a little annoying now that Hagi still wanted to keep coming to this waterfall as often as possible. Although Hagi was not sure this waterfall he could find like today.

At least only that place gives real memories of him and Kyuhyun who have a bond even if only briefly. The place also seemed to be a wound-treater as well as longing in his heart when he realized forever maybe Hagi and Kyuhyun could not be together whether it was in the past or in the present.

"Kyuhyun_ssi can you live a good life without me? Because I can't live well without you..."
