The roar of the car engine sounded faint when John had stopped his pace, because the house where Reyna was buried was right in front of the eyes.
Hyuji was still downcast with puffy eyes, his face withered, his fingers creeping together anxiously.
John tries to calm down, he grabs Hyuji's head and rubs it for the umpteenth time. "Let's go down and pay our last respects to Reyna! "
"I can't stand John! " the answer came back with tears.
"Hyu, you're his best friend! Don't let him wait for you!"
Reyna raised her gaze, looking at John's deer bead that was looking at her softly.
And in the end, they both got out of the car. Welcomed with the cold temperatures of the mountains, and also some neighbors who come to defend the condolences.
John grabs Reyna's palm, grasps it tightly and takes her walking in.
Hyuji's heart was slashed with a sharp knife when he saw Reyna's mother sitting in a lethargy looking at the chest where Reyna lay lifeless, as did Roy, the young man bowed in tears.
Hyuji approaches with John, saluting Reyna's mother. The woman looked at meu at Hyuji's figure.
"You came Hyu. "with a raucous voice and quiver.
Hyuji nodded no longer able to stem his dripping tears any more.
"Repiya, Reyna... "
Hyuji quickly grabbed the old body of Reyna's mother into his arms.
"I'm sorry Hyuji couldn't take good care of Reyna Auntie... "
"No boy, this is Reyna's destiny! Aunty won't blame anyone, aunt regrets not being able to make a girl's life as good as Reyna's happy ending! It turned out that all this time he harbored the heavy burden of his own life... "
John shed his tears. Then he approached Roy, holding the young man's shoulder.
"Hi, "the sap is stiff. He just found out that Reyna's little brother is really handsome.
"I'm sorry Reyna has anything wrong with you Hyung." he said.
"Your brother's a good man, he never did anything wrong to me either! There is nothing to forgive! "
Now, there is no more Reyna who stands strong with a smile that is too beautiful on her beautiful face. Cold burial ground, can only look at the beautiful face from behind the picture frame placed above the navel.
Hyuji hid his face in John's field, crying stifled there when Reyna's figure had completely returned to the power. Hyuji's family who was also present there also felt sadness, because Reyna had been like their nagi family.
And when all the funeral procession was over, Hyuji did not want to leave the funeral and John was there. Letting Hyuji who was hugging Reyna's navel in a cry that he overflowed with a loud voice. All he could do was wipe Hyuji's back channeling calmness.
"It's getting dark Hyu, let's go back to Seoul! " persuade John with his honeyed voice. Hyuji shook his head, still leaning his head on the wet and cold mound of earth.
"Let's come here again for the weekend! I promise I'll take you whenever you want to come here! "
Slowly, Hyuji got up. Swiping Reyna's face inside the frame, once again stunned. "Rey, I'll visit you again! You--- I mean, rest in peace! Sorry I have to go home... "
Hyuji tries to stand up with John's help, the man kneels down to clear the ground that was soiling Hyuji's clothes and then leads him further and further away to go home.
Silence,
The frame was blown by the cold wind, her smile was still imprinted very Beautifully.
Alone, in the dark. Everyone will leave with their memories left.
And in the end all will be returned to the owner of life in his own way. From the ground back to the ground, that's the principle. Nothing's gonna change.
***
Three days later,
Val returns from her honeymoon vacation with HaNa. The table was filled with piles of files that needed to be signed, as well as, a letter that was currently attracting his attention. He pulled it first.
Letter of resignation and compensation, as well as severance over PHK.
Val frowned, opened the cover of the letter and read it slowly. And how surprised he was when he saw Reyna's name there.
His body staggered, shaking violently, even his gaze blurred. He slumped on the floor, leaning on his desk, Val tergugu. Bend both legs to hide the face that is currently sobbing.
Should it all end like this? Losing even a life?
Suddenly dizzy attacked Val's head violently. Make the man groan and squeeze his mane neatly arranged.
Frustrating? It might be more appropriate to call it regret. Even he considered himself heartless now.
"Why is this so? " his groan with a heavy and sad voice. Banging his back head several times on his desk.
"I have to go to Daegu right now! "
Val stood up rudely, wiped his tears and walked hurriedly.
Ride the car at high speed, and stop at a flower shop to take him to Reyna's cemetery.
Daegu, man,
After Val arrives at the doegu, she sees Reyna's mother taking care of the plants in the yard. Val hasn't seen him in a long time. Lastly, about seven years ago, the woman still looked sturdy and beautiful. But the different scenery he saw at this moment. The woman looked old, the frown on her face was so clear.
The two of them stared at each other, Val slashing the distance.
"Mother." call Val.
The woman smiled making Val re-roll in guilt. "Kim's? You it? "
Val quickened his pace, grabbing the woman into his arms. And avenged a lot of rubbing on his back.
"Yes, this is my mother... "
"You're looking more handsome, son, you're also looking dashing now! "
Either, Val has to smile or what?! Because his heart is really not okay.
"Come in first, I'll make you your favorite meal! "
"There's no need for mom" she replied as she pulled the body from Reyna's mother's arms.
"You must have heard the news about Reyna? "
Val nodded slowly as he broke into tears.
"I want---"
"Go, Reyna must miss you too! " he said Reyna's mother quickly as if she knew for sure what the young man who once occupied her daughter's heart while rubbing one side of Val's face.
His feet were limp boneless when he saw the burial ground that was still wet. His heart ached, along with a painful pulse.
Val put down a bunch of carnations, rubbed a tombstone bearing Reyna's name. Still visible remains of a sprinkling of flowers that blow a fragrant aroma between the frame of the girl's photo.
"Are you doing this because of me? " ask Val with trembling lips. "I'm sorry... "
That was all Val could say for Reyna who had completely abandoned her. Only the rest of the beautiful memories he felt when he last met in the daegu some time ago still flashed in Val's memory.
"It used to be the past! And now, you've found someone who can make you happy! I just wish you were happy forever with her! "
Val still remembers what Reyna said as a prayer for her happiness. And he did not expect that the meeting and prayer were the last thing he got from Reyna. Val thrashed, his sturdy shoulders falling just like that.
A regret always comes to an end.
"Please promise to meet me sooner in the next life!"[]
End.

Notes:
There will be one chapter of the epilogue as a cover. Why Hyuji suddenly stayed away from Reyna is also in the epilogue section.
For the story of how Hyuji and John were suddenly married, can be read in SpinOff a separate story with the title 'another Winter'. I'll be up after the epilogue in Vienna.
Their storyline is different from the Vienna storyline. There will be a UWUan and how they will live their lives after marriage and Reyna's departure.
So don't forget to stop by and leave a trail there as well.
Thank you so much to all the readers who have followed Vienna so far. And Vi's strongly apologizes if there is a deliberate or unintentional word, or the storyline is still lacking. Vi's just hoping this story is read and enjoyed by many. Taken on the bright side.
Hail hearts of Purple color,
💜💜💜
