Body & Soul 🇰🇷 Part 2

Monologue 6

Seo-Yeon

Barely even a few months later he found me. I don't know how, when or why but I felt his presence just as Hwi had gotten engaged to Hui-Jee and they were staring their own lives together. At first I felt like I was being stalked for a while but maybe I was just being paranoid as I had just settled into a new job with a room in an area was unfamiliar with. But he found me, using his new promoted position as army general to insert himself in every job I got no matter where I went and every other aspect in my life without contacting me personally until I couldn't take it anymore and I had to confront him myself. He was angry there was no doubt about that. And seemed hell bent on punishing me for all the things I hid from him, but that isn't what shocked me; I thought he came for Hui-Jee but he was clearly showing me otherwise. He started looking at me in a completely different way and then kept me by his side as much as possible until I could no longer function without him emotionally, psychically, financially and mentally. I tried to fight him off but he only walked closer to me without budging an inch. He wrapped himself around me and had me when he wanted like I belonged to him. He only held me tighter until I could no longer fight the longing in my heart, body and soul; I chose to surrender to him at long last. I took the hand he gave me and introduced him to life and taught him how to live it with his family, his children and himself. I tried to strip away his pain and dark side as much as I could, even if that meant him taking it out on me most times. It wasn't an easy journey but I didn't regret a single moment of it. If I had to go through the pain of it all over again just to belong to him again I would. He catered to my every whim and need before I could say it and took care of me in a way I never thought I could experience in this lifetime. His very presence around me ensured my safety for the twisted world outside our door.

He made me his in every way and made me a part of every aspect in his life, from a brother to lover to the father of my children and my soulmate. We grew up together, loved each other, and lived for one another...until the day we died in each other's arms.

Seon-Ho

I knew she would resist in the beginning but I knew...I just knew that I shouldn't give up on her no matter what...I found her and did the only thing I could think of to keep her by my side; I tortured her until she surrendered herself to me. I put myself in her path as much as I could until she needed me for everything, although I made sure she got the respect she deserves as my woman no matter what professional situation I was in. Every aspect of her life also belonged to me; from her family to her work. She showed me the positive side of life that was stripped from me at a young age and gave me oxygen to breathe as well as a grand family that truly loved me instead of finding ways to use me like the people in my father's world continuously did. I didn't have to scheme and take action against anyone for survival anymore except as work. She helped me in every aspect of my life until I learned to live more like a normal human being, slowly forgetting the pain of my cruel cold journey from youth to manhood. And I made sure to give my children all the options I never had, ensuring their paths to success and giving me nothing but prestigious honour and far exceeding all my hopes and plans. She was my entire world and she gave me 3 more, not including the iron clad bond I had with her brother that I never forgot for a second. She went out of her way to ensure I had a smooth path and I couldn't love her more for it. I was grateful for her very existence that harmonised mine.

She belonged to me and me only in this lifetime and all the rest; from a sister to lover to the mother of my children and my soulmate. We grew up together, loved each other, and lived for one another...until the day we died in each other's arms.
