Trap in the sea

(12)

Seol felt like someone pierced a sword in her heart. The scene she saw was horrific. Hoon Joon Jae trying to jump off ands kill himself. She just couldn't take it. She ran towards him and stopped him. Even a second late she could have lost him. She didn't know where she got the courage but she stopped him. 

She become brave for him. 

Yaahh!! Are you mad? How could you do this? She asked while tears rolled down her cheeks. 

Why did you save me? Wae? He asked. 

He looked broken. Lost. She had never seen him like this. Her heart clenched seeing him like this. She never wanted to see him like this ever. 

Answer me damn it? Why? He asked again. His eyes desperate. 

"When I was about to lose you that's when I realised I love you. Yes, I love you. " She thought 

Answer me... Jaebal... He asked again. Too eager to know why she saved him. 

She didn't answer him. But she held his face, tip toed herself and kissed him. 

Yes, she kissed him.

"Saranghee" She said after their lips parted. 

He didn't say anything. He was still processing it. She told him she loved him and kissed him. It was all too much to digest. He was at his lowest point in life and she came and held him. He then just hugged her tightly. Cried his heart out. She comforted him. He relaxed after few minutes. 

When they released their hug he whispered "Saranghee Seol" and kissed her deeply.

They were sitting at the bench in the park having subway. She had asked him to have it before they drove the way to their apartment. She wanted to ask him why did he go to this extreme. She had so many questions. She needed answers to but she knew he had to eat first.She didn't want to burden him anymore. She wanted him to forget everything. She wanted him to be the funny, irritating Hoon Joon Jae full of life. 

They were having their subway quietly. Enjoying the cool breeze and calmness. 

Sorry.... He said suddenly. 

She didn't know what to reply to his sudden apology. She just smiled. 

I know you want to know why I was there. You probably won't ask me afraid of hurting my feelings. Since we now love each other as a partner it's your right to know. I ll tell you everything. 

My life wasn't as easy as people think. My mother died giving birth to me. My father left me because of a woman in an orphanage. I was 5 years old. I ran away because I didn't like the way they treated me. I was going to die that day while crossing. Nam Jo saved me. He took care of me. He was a guardian angel. He educated me. Treated me like his son. Even though he taught me to cheat and deceive people I loved him. I knew it was wrong but that's the only thing I could do with him. Now, he left me seol. He died. And... Sobbing he said..... I'm all alone now. 

That's why I tried avoiding you past few days. Afraid. You will also leave me. It was killing me inside so much. I couldn't think straight. I decided to jump off.  

 Thank you for saving me and giving me a chance to love you seol. Thank you for this new life. 

Seol got all emotional and started crying. 

Promise me you will never do anything like this again. Promise me. 

Ahrasso... Promise.. He said. Linking their fingers. 

Oh you look so cute being all worried for me. ... He said wipping her tears. 

She giggled and they hugged each other. 

************************************************

Next day seol got all ready for office. She wore her favorite white button top and white skirt and kept her hair loose along with the bangs that complimented her face. She added a tint of her Kahi lip balm. 

She got to the dinning table to see her favorite breakfast laying on the table. 

Hoon Joon Jae hugged her from behind. Good morning. I made breakfast today. 

Daebak!! It looks so delicious. She was rushing to settle on her chair and eat but was stopped. 

Don't you think you should kiss the chef? 

Nope. I don't kiss and eat. She teased then laughed seeing him pout. 

You are so mean. He said sulking. 

She couldn't help but kiss on his cheeks. 

Now let me have my food before I kill you. She told . 

Ya sure your Majesty. 

***************************""

They enjoyed their private date at home. All laughs and love. 

Joon Jae felt he was still dreaming this all. But it was real. Seol loved him. He just wished the love would last till eternity.
