The rain came sweeping, the thunder of mutual disdain gave the lightning light continuously striking. His glint boomed like he was about to devour anything below.
Late night, silence changed in horror, black clouds shrouded the sky hiding beauty.
Strong winds plus the howls of wild animals add to the tension. No one spoke there, other than the long-haired woman who was covered in emotions.
Anger, disappointment, hate to be one in the form of tears. No one understood but themselves, everyone could only look at pity without feeling.
If you have not passed it yourself, you cannot understand.
That was what Song Mi Kyong was feeling. He knew everyone's gaze there other than pity, must have been pity.
Unstoppable anger forms an overflow of feelings. Throughout his thirty-four year life, there was only loneliness without affection.
Treasure is just a mere pleasure can not buy the attention and love of parents. Loss of affection at an early age makes the figure of Song Mi Kyong like having a double personality.
In the presence of loved ones he can give a friendly smile, good attitude, and behave as an honorable woman. However, out there he transformed into himself, venting his grief with drinking alcohol, the dark world, and other freedoms.
Song Yeri and Song Hwan had no idea that their only daughter had any mental problems, and all of them were unaware.
Both thought that just meeting the needs of their children was more than enough.
"Darling, forgive Eomma and Appa. You endure this pain alone" Yeri said, watching her tears well up.
"We didn't know you were hurt like this. Appa is really sorry," continued Hwan regretted.
"It's too late, nothing can be fixed. I'm ruined.. I'm already ruined.. I'm completely ruined!" babble Mi Kyong squeezed the left chest, how painful and hurt her heart.
For many years she was required to be the daughter of Song's elegant, graceful, and honorable descendant. However, none of his wishes were granted.
Mi Kyong's desire is simple, she just wants to be a female archery athlete in order to keep up with her beloved man. However, that simple ideal was never heeded by his father or mother.
He went abroad to vent his pent-up anger and tried to forget his beloved man, but reality slapped hard.
He finds Park Jim-in married and living a happy life. All this has made him a different person.
"Nothing I can really get. Everything belongs to the lucky ones. I'm a very unlucky kid!" lirih Mi Kyong lowered her head in hiding the sadness.
His voice flowed into the hearing senses of everyone there, drawing sympathy to pity the daughter of the Song descendant.
They let the silence take over, until the soft voice of someone surprised Mi Kyong who instantly also immediately drew a glance.
"No child is born with misfortune. You are precious to those who are lucky to have you."
"It's never too late as we try to improve. Nothing can't be fixed, as long as we try. Don't give in to Song Mi Kyong's state, you deserve happiness."
"Maybe, you can't have a man you love, not because fate doesn't take your side. Look at the other side, don't keep looking in one direction. You have your own life, which is much luckier than anyone else's," she continues to draw attention.
Mi Kyong was fixated, unable to turn her face the other way. The clear brown berlensa bead continues to stare at the interlocutor.
"How... how can you, Rania? You can say that because you never feel what I feel" Mi Kyong said.
The curvature of the crescent moon is present to get rid of the noise of rainwater outside the house. Rania steps towards him which instantly freezes Mi Kyong.
The two women faced each other at a fairly close distance.
"Want me tell you a story? Em, how about we just talk alone in there? Come on."
Jim-in sees the departure of the wife while bringing Mi Kyong gasp. He wanted to catch up with them, but was immediately prevented by Seok Jin.
"Don't bother, let them both," he said.
"How is it possible? Is it okay to just let it go? I'm scared-"
"Don't worry, sir. I'm sure Rania can handle it, too. I know what she's planning," Hana quickly cut.
Inevitably Jim-in lets Rania alone with Mi Kyong. He is very worried, considering the mental state of the friend is not stable.
He was afraid that Mi Kyong would do something unexpected and hurt his wife.
"Don't worry that everything will be fine, trust your wife" Seok Jin continued.
Jim-in sighed harshly and nodded while looking at the silhouette of two people closest to him on the balcony.
Yeri, Hwan, and Ailee also look in the same direction hoping things get better.
After that the middle-aged man and woman dragged Ailee to be advised. Not to forget, Jim-in, Seok Jin, Zahra, Hana, and Won Shik move on to another room.
...***...
Cold air pierced the skin, lunging at the two figures who were pulled over on the balcony. Dark dominates the scenery around hide the beauty of the night.
Arriving there, Rania and Mi Kyong stood side by side. The two women who were involved with a single man enjoyed the wind sweeping their innocent faces.
Both corners of Rania's lips again formed a perfect curve. He gave Mi Kyong some time to calm down.
Until not long ago, the hoarse voice beside him resuscitated.
"What do you want to say? Why bring me here?" said Mi Kyong opening the question.
Rania looked up, staring at the pitch-black sky with rainwater continuously falling down nonstop. Share the life story of someone who never escaped every problem.
"You asked, didn't you? I said that because I don't feel what you feel? Then I'll give you that question?"
The head in hijab Rania turned to the right side with a meaningful smile startling her interlocutor.
Song Mi Kyong was stunned, her firm forehead shriveling in not understanding what Rania said.
"What do you mean?"
"Because...you also don't feel what I've been through all this time, right?" Rania pulled away again by looking straight ahead.
He squeezed the iron barrier should be reminded back with heartbreaking memories. For him the past does not need to be opened again, let the dark record is only himself who feels.
However, now reality requires him to open it to sensitize others. As a fellow woman especially lost the affection of the old man, Rania could feel how hurt Song Mi Kyong was.
He was also in this position after the father and mother died, especially the treatment of the husband and mother-in-law who Rania thought could give more affection, in fact only containing wounds.
Varsha who was present at that time was like rain falling tonight. The sobbing that occurs is only able to fade the vaginal discharge, without eliminating. The shadow of those times could at any time be remembered.
As on this occasion, somehow the painful memories given by her husband and mother-in-law came to light.
Rania hopes that after telling her everything Song Mi Kyong can change too.
